LACK OF ASSISTANCE IN REMEDYING DEFECTS OF RECORD. SOON AFTER THE NOTIFICATION ABOUT UPPER AND LOWER BALL JOINTS ON THE 97 CHEVY BLAZERS (MY SUV ORIGINATED IN DELAWARE, I CALLED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY BLEW ME OFF AND WOULDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAD TO HAVE ONE REPLACED AT MY EXPENSE. NOW I GET THE SAME THING ABOUT THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR. MY WIPERS ARE NOW INTERMITTENT. THEY WILL STOP GOING DOWN THE ROAD. THEY RESTART WHEN THEY FEEL LIKE IT. MOST OF THE TIME THEY WORK PERFECTLY. IT IS THE UNEXPECTED STOP THAT IS SCARY. I HAVE ALSO RECEIVED A NOTICE ON THE DRIVER SEAT BELT. JUST WHO AM I SUPPOSE TO CALL. LINDSAY SURE DOESN'T WANT TO REMEDY THE SITUATIONS.
