Driving in left lane on i75 at 70 mph in moderate traffic. Started to rain and within seconds turned to a downpour. I switched my wipers from regular to high speed, they made 2 or 3 strokes and then quit. I couldn't see a thing. Most scared i've ever been in a vehicle. Luckily, no one in front of me braked suddenly, so i flipped on my flashers and gradually slowed and edged across the right lane onto the shoulder.…

It was raining at about 3:00 pm and the wipers were working and all of a sudden they stopped and i can't see and almost run into the other cars because the wipers stopped working and i couldn't see anything. I am scared to drive this vehicle now and my daughter is afraid of it because it was pouring down rain.

About 5 minutes after turning the wipers on, going about 50 miles per hour, they started jerking as they moved then just stopped in the middle of my wind shield. It was 6 in the morning during a thunderstorm. The only thing i could see was the tail…

Structure · Visibility/Wiper
The extreme slope of the windshield and extensive dashboard surface top, combined with my sloped driveway produces a severe glare that reduces visibility to the point where i am forced to inch into my garage. The grey dashboard becomes the dominate visible element, reflected onto the windshield in a manner similar to a heads up display. Daylight is the most critical timeframe. Adding a black carpet dashboard cover…

The car does not have a back up camera to make up for the bad blind spots on the vehicle. The double vision mirrors on side mirrors do not help when backing up. Even if you look all the way out the rear window, your vision is blocked by the rear window wiper. I have had near accidents several times. I complained to the sales person and dealership i bought it from with no help. They said that chevy does not install…
