COMING TO A STOP ON A DRY ROAD, THE PAVEMENT SURFACE CHANGED FROM DRY ASPHALT TO DRY,CRACKED CONCRETE. ANTI-LOCK KICKED IN WHEN NOT NEEDED AND I ALMOST REAR-ENDED THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. LATER THAT DAY, IN A DRIVING RAINSTORM, THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR STOPPED (FOR ABOUT THE 50TH TIME) AND I WAS UNABLE TO SEE IN FRONT OF ME. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND MANUALLY TUG THE WIPER BLADE TO GET THE WIPERS TO WORK AGAIN. BOTH THESE ARE RECURRING INCIDENTS AND I HAVE COMPLAINTS ON FILE WITH GM, WHO HAS A RECALL ON BOTH ISSUES THAT YEAR "BUT NOT ON MY VEHICLE".*AK
