SEAT BELTS:FRONT:RETRACTOR
1994 CHEVROLET SILVERADO WAS IN VEHICLE CRASH. CRASH WAS OFFSET FRONTAL CRASH WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE. OHIO STATE PATROL SAYS THE 1994 CHEVROLET WENT LEFT OF CENTER, COLLISION WAS WITH AN ADVANCE CEMENT TRUCK. MY FATHER IN LAW WAS DRIVING AND WAS WEARING SEAT BELT. PARAMEDICS UNBELTED HIM TO TREAT HIM, ACCORDING TO THE OFFICER. THE MONTGOMERY COUNTY CORONERS REPORT LISTS BLUNT FORCE TRAUMA TO THE CHEST AS CAUSE OF DEATH. MOST OF HIS RIBS, HIS STERNUM, THE LEFT PELVIS, AND MOST OF THE BONES IN HIS LEFT LEG WERE BROKEN. HE DIED AS A RESULT OF THIS CRASH, AND I BELIEVE THE SEAT BELT RETRACTOR DID NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY TO ALLOW HIS CHEST TO CONTACT THE STEERING COLUMN. *JB

MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOP WORKING INTERMITTENTLY. THIS JUST HAPPENED AGAIN YESTERDAY (THEY WORK TODAY). IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR QUITE SOMETIME. FORTUNATELY IT DOES NOT RAIN TOO OFTEN IN THE LA AREA. THIS WINDSHIELD WIPER ISSUE HAS LED TO SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS. I SUSPECT THAT MY VEHICLE HAS A DEFECTIVE UNIT AS DESCRIBED IN YOUR NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 03V159000. I CONTACTED A LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. I DISAGREE COMPLETELY. MY VIN NUMBER IS [XXX]. I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR ASSISTANCE IN GETTING THIS ISSUE RESOLVED. MORE IMPORTANTLY, I WOULD LIKE OTHER OWNERS OF THE SAME VEHICLE BE NOTIFIED THAT THEY SHOULD GET THEIR WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR INSPECTED AND REPAIRED. RESPECTFULLY YOURS, [XXX]. *NM UPDATED 07/17/2012 *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I NOTIFIED GM THAT THE PAINT WAS PEELING ON THE HOOD AND DRIVER SIDE FRONT FENDER, THEY SAID TOO BAD. THE OTHER REPAIR I DID WAS THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR BE FOR I NEW ABOUT THE RECALL ON WINDSHIEDD WIPER MOTORS IN MAY OF 2003. I THINK THAT THE PAINT SHOULD LAST LONGER THAN IT HAS ON MY TRUCK, A LOT LONGER.
