VISIBILITY:REAR WINDOW WIPER/WASHER:MOTOR
I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON MY 1997 CHEVROLET BLAZER. I CALLED THE GM HOTLINE AND QUESTIONED INFORMATION ABOUT ANY RECALLS. I DID THIS DUE TO MY PROBLEM AND A RECENT CONVERSATION WITH A NEIGHBOR WHO HAS THE SAME VEHICLE AND HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. HOWEVER, SHE RECEIVED A LETTER TO TAKE HER VEHICLE IN FOR REPAIR. WHEN I CONTACTED CHEVROLET ABOUT THIS OVERSIGHT THEY INDICATED THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT ELIGIBLE SINCE THE VEHICLE DID NOT MEET REQUIREMENTS. IT WAS OVER THE 70,000 MILES. HOWEVER, IF I HAD RECEIVED THIS LETTER WHEN THEY INDICATE THEY INITIALLY SENT THEM OUT (MAY 2003) MY VEHICLE WOULD HAVE INDEED QUALIIFED FOR SERVICE REPAIR. NOW I AM STUCK WITH THE CHARGES TO HAVE THIS REPAIR COMPLETED ON MY VEHICLE. IS THERE ANY WAY THAT GM CAN BE HELD RESPONSIBLE? THIS IS THE SAME ADDRESS THAT I HAD WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW AND I JUST RECIEVED A NOTICE ABOUT A SEAT BELT RECALL. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THEY ARE NOT CONCERNED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM NOR THE FACT THAT DUE TO THEIR NEGLECT TO MAIL THIS LETTER, I HAVE TO PAY MYSELF FOR A DEFECTIVE PART. THE WIPERS HAVE BEEN WORKING INTERMITTANTLY ALMOST SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE. FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS OR SO NOW IT SEEMS THAT THEY WORK ON OCCASION. I CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE THEM FIXED, I JUST HOPE THAT IT DOESN'T RAIN OR THEY WORK WHEN IT DOES. *AK
