2000 GMC Jimmy window and wiper problems

VISIBILITY/WIPER

I WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT AND MY HEADLIGHTS (WHICH ARE AUTOMATIC TYPE USING A LIGHT SENSOR) WENT OUT FOR A FEW SECONDS WITHOUT ME DOING ANYTHING. AFTER A FEW SECONDS THEY CAME BACK ON. THEY DID IT A 2ND TIME FOR A SHORTER TIME PERIOD ON THE SAME DRIVE AND HAVE FLASHED OFF FOR A FEW SECONDS TEMPORARILY ON A FEW NIGHTS SINCE THEN. THE INTERIOR DASH/SWITCH LIGHTING INSIDE THE CAR DOES NOT GO OUT, JUST THE HEADLAMPS.

THE ENTIRE CAR IS DEFECTIVE, THOUGH IT DOES NOT STATE IT IS A LEMON. I PURCHASED IT USED.

I HAVE GONE THROUGH 4 ALTERNATORS IN UNDER 2 1/2 YEARS.

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER

WHEN THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE FALLS MUCH (MORE THAN ~5 DEGREES F) BELOW FREEZING, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAIL TO OPERATE PROPERLY. IT APPEARS THAT THEY TEND TO KEEP A CURVED SHAPE FROM RESETTING AGAINST THE BOTTOM OF THE WINDSHIELD WHEN NOT IN USE AND DO NOT CLEAR THE AREA DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER CAUSING POOR VISIBILITY. THIS EFFECT WORSENS AS THE TEMPERATURE FALLS. A NEW SET OF WIPER BLADES (WINTER BLADES, MADE FOR LOW TEMPERATURE) FAILED TO ALLEVIATE THE PROBLEM. THE MOST SEVERE HAPPENED ON MARCH 4, 2003 THE PRECEDING CAR SPRAYED A SALT/WATER MIXTURE ON THE WINDSHIELD THAT HAD TO BE REMOVED BY HAND AFTER STOPPING ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD DUE TO ZERO VISIBILITY.

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER

WHEN DRIVING, WINDSHIELD WIPERS ARE NEEDED, AND WINDSHIELD WIPERS ARE SMEARING UP THE CENTER PORTION OF WINDSHIELD, CAUSING POOR DRIVER'S VISIBILITY. CONSUMER HAS CONTATCED DEALER.
