#710714August 30, 1999
VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER
THE WIPERS QUIT WORKING AT HIGHWAY SPEED IN HEAVY RAIN AND HEAVY TRAFFIC. IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS, AND WE WERE FORTUNATE THAT NO ONE WAS INJURED. WHEN I WENT TO BUY THE REPLACEMENT, THE DEALER'S PARTS GUYS WERE VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE PROBLEM. THEY SAID THAT IF I HAD A PICKUP INSTEAD OF A MINIVAN, THE PART WOULD BE FREE, AS THEY WERE MADE SO BADLY THAT THEY WERE UNDER RECALL. HOWEVER, SINCE WE HAD A MINIVAN, THEY WOULD CHARGE US FOR THE SAME PROBLEM PART. THE FAILED PART NUMBER IS 22101636. THE NEW PART NUMBER IS 12463017. FAILING CKT BOARD NUMBER: 22122142 REV. C. REPLACEMENT CKT BOARD NUMBER: 24013536 REV. C. YOU NEED TO DO EVERYTHING YOU CAN TO GET GM TO RECALL THESE TIME-BOMBS-FOR-ACCIDENTS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THEY ARE ACCIDENTS WAITING TO HAPPEN. IF YOU CAN GET ME A REFUND AT THE SAME TIME, THAT'S FINE WITH ME. I WROTE GM ABOUT THIS SEVERAL WEEKS AGO, AND THEY HAVE NOT BOTHERED TO RESPOND. I CAN MAIL/FAX A COPY OF THAT LETTER TO YOU IF YOU LIKE.
