VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER
ON 8/31/99 I TRIED TO PUT ON MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS IN A HEAVY RAIN STORM AND THEY DID NOT WORK. I WAITED FOR A WHILE AND THEY FINALLY STARTED. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC AFTER AN INSPECTION THEY SAID IT WAS THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR. THEY PULL UP A RECALL FROM CHEVY DATED 9/98 FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM. I CONTACT STEVE MOORE WHO LOOK UP MY VIN NUMBER AND SAID THAT EVEN THOUGH THIS WAS THE EXACT THING AS THE RECALL CALLED FOR, MY VEHICLE WAS NOT IN THAT VIN BATCH. I FIND THIS HARD TO BELIEVE THE EXACT SAME THING AND THEY WOULD DO NOTHING ABOUT THIS. I HAVE SENT THEM A LETTER REQUESTING A REFUND OF THE AMOUNT OF REPAIR AND HAVE HAD NO RESPONSE. WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPEN IF I WAS WITH MY 2 CHILDREN IT A HEAVY STORM AND THESE WIPERS JUST QUIT. I FEEL THIS IS A REAL UNJUSTICE TO ANYONE IN MY POSITION. ALL I WANT IS FOR THEM TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR. THE RECALL NUMBER IS 96043 - WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR FAILURES. PLEASE CONTACT ME WITH ANY INFORMATION. THANK YOU

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK
PROBLEM IS WITH BRAKING SYSTEM. INTERMITTENT BRAKE FAILURE WHICH HAS TURNED IN TO BE A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. GM IS NOT COOPERATING STATING THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, ACCEPT THAT THEY HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEY FAILED TO HAVE A SENSOR ON THE VEHICLE WHEN DUPLICATED AND TOLD US THERE IS NOTHING THAT THEY CAN DO. WE HAVE BEEN WITHOUT USE OF THE VEHICLE FOR TWO MONTHS SINCE IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. WE'VE BEEN ADVISED TO WAIT FOR A POTENTIAL RECALL BUT HAVE NOT BEEN TOLD WHEN THAT MIGHT BE. IN THE MEAN TIME GM IS BEING HIGHLY UNCOOPERATIVE AND FAIL TO ACKNOWLEDGE ANY PENDING RECALL. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS AND HAVE FOUND THAT THEY ARE FACING A POTENTIAL 3.5 MILLION VEHICLE RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE'S SPECIFIC PROBLEM. CAN YOU PLEASE GIVE ME ANY ADVISE ON THIS?

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TRANSMISSION FAILED DUE TO DIPSTICK TUBE BEING TOO CLOSE TO A/C EVAPORATOR CORE WHICH CAUSES CONDENSATION INSIDE DIPSTICK TUBE. THIS IN TURN CAUSED RUST INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION CAUSING MY TRANSMISSION TO GO OUT. WE HAD TO HAVE TRANSMISSION REBUILT WHICH WAS VERY EXPENSIVE!! MECHANIC SAID HE SEES A LOT OF BLAZER COME IN WITH TRANSMISSION FAILURE DUE TO THE SAME PROBLEM I HAD. I THINK SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS. WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING WHEN THE PROBLEM IS DUE TO POOR DESIGN?!? I'VE SEEN SEVERAL NEW COMMERCIALS FOR CHEVROLET SAY "WE'LL BE THERE" WELL I THINK YOU SHOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM!! IT COST ME A GOOD BIT OF MONEY TO CORRECT THE MISTAKE CHEVROLET MADE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE.
