2005 Buick LaCrosse Visibility & Wipers Problems

THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDSHIELD WIPER STOPPED MOVING WHILE THE PASSENGER SIDE WAS STILL WORKING. THE SPLINES IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE ARM WERE STRIPPED. I TRIED TO FIND A REPLACEMENT ARM, BUT GM HAS DISCONTINUED THE PART & NO AFTERMARKET SUPPLIERS HAVE ONE AVAIALBLE. SEEMS WRONG TO HAVE A 12 YEAR OLD CAR THAT CAN NOT BE DRIVEN IN THE RAIN OR SNOW. GM NEEDS TO KEEP MAKING PARTS OR RELEASE THE PATENT & LET OTHER COMPANIES MAKE THEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 BUICK LACROSSE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V755000 (VISIBILITY) HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WITHOUT WARNING, THE DRIVER SIDE WINDSHIELD WIPER STOPPED OPERATING. THE DEALERSHIP DETERMINED ALTHOUGH THE WINDSHIELD WIPER ARM SHOULD'VE BEEN GROOVED ON THE INSIDE, IT WAS SMOOTH. THE WIPER ARM WAS REPLACED.

THE RIGHT AND LEFT EXTERIOR MIRRORS EXPERIENCE A REFLECTION THAT IS VERTICALLY GOING THROUGH THEM. HOWEVER, IT DISAPPEARS WHILE DRIVING. ALSO, THERE IS A HORIZONTAL CHROME STRIP THAT GOES THROUGH THE INTERIOR MIRROR WHICH IS VERY DISTRACTING. *AL THE CONSUMER STATED THAT THERE WAS A REFLECTION AT THE TOP OF THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. ALL REFLECTIONS WERE CAUSED BY THE CHROME STRIP ON THE DASHBOARD. *TC
