Nothing bad has happened yet. This "recall" has been going on for months. I find it difficult to believe that chevy cannot come up with a remedy. I would guess one is available but it probably would cost them too much. Concern: if the wipers stop working during a severe storm i'm really in trouble. Why does this take so long???

When i turned on my vehicle today, none of the climate control system buttons were operational. Not able to turn on defroster, rear window defogger or adjust climate controls. Live in minnesota so climate control is very important during the winter.
