VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER
WINDSHIELD WIPERS WORK INTERMMITENTLY. MOSTLY RAINING OR WET CONDITIONS. GOING ON TWO YEARS NOW. I SEE THIS RELATES TO RECALL 98V150. HOWEVER, THE GMC DEALER USED MY VIN NUMBER AND DID NOT FIND RECALL APPLICABLE TO THIS. WHY NOT? I KNOW OF MANY OTHERS AND EVEN THE DEALER SAID HE GETS AT LEAST ONE A DAY FOR THIS PROBLEM. HE IS CHARGING $149 TO REPLACE THE WIPER CIRCUIT. OTHERS HAVE GOTTEN THIS COVERED UNDER RECALL. CAN I GET GMC TO COVER THIS?

TIRES
I HAVE CHECKED SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE LAST YEAR CONCERNING RECALL OF THESE TIRES. THEY NEVER SEEM TO FALL IN ANY OF THE RECALLS EVEN UNDER THE RECENT RECALL BY FIRESTONE FOR TIRES AFTER 1998. IN CHECKING WITH SEVERAL TIRES STORES IN OUR AREA I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE ONLY REASON THAT THEY ARE NOT UNDER THE RECALL IS THAT THEY ARE NOT ON A FORD PRODUCT. THIS SEEMS TO ME TO BE LUDICIOUS SINCE THESE TIRES ARE KNOWN TO FAIL AND ARE ON A VEH OF SIMILAR WEIGHT AND CHARACTERISTICS TO THE FORD PRODUCTS. I WANT TO KNOW WHY FIRESTONE IS NOT REPLACING THESE TIRES.*AK (DOT NUMBER: VDW8 AW2 TIRESIZE: 235/75R16)

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER:MOTOR
I WILL BE DRIVING ALONG ON THE FREEWAY AND IT WILL START RAINING REAL HARD AND SUDDENLY THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WON'T COME ON.. I HAVE TO PULL OVER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, BECAUSE VISIBILITY IS NIL..IN THE BEGINNING OF THIS PROBLEM I COULD GET THEM STARTED AGAIN BY TRYING THE WIPER SWITCH , OFF AND ON MANY TIMES..I NOW REMOVE THE FUSE, CLEAN IT, AND REPLACE IT. THEY WORK AGAIN FOR AWHILE..UNTIL THE NEXT TIME IT HAPPENS. SEEMS TO BE GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE WITH TIME. I NEED TO GET THIS FIXED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, SINCE I DRIVE 60 MILES ROUND TRIP , DAILY..I LIVE IN A VERY RAINY STATE.. I KNEW NOTHING ABOUT THIS RECALL IN 1998 OR 1999, SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE USED. *AK
