THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON MY TRUCK WILL WORK INTERMITTENTLY AND THEN QUIT FUNCTIONIN UNTIL THE TRUCK IS TURNED OFF FOR AWHILE. IT HAS BECOME AN EXTREME HAZARDOUS FOR MY FAMILY AND I TO DRIVE IN THE RAIN. I OWN AND/OR OPERATE TWO ADDITIONAL GM VEHICLE THAT HAD A SAFETY RECALL ON THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR CONTROL BOARD. SINCE I AND MY STEPSON BOUGHT THIS TRUCK USED, I CONTACTED CHEVROLET TO SEE IF A SAFETY RECALL HAD BEEN ISSUED FOR MY 1994 TRUCK. BY THE DESCRIBED MALFUNCTION IN THE RECALL IT SEEMED THAT MY 1994 TRUCK HAD A DEFECTIVE PART. I CALLED CHEVROLET'S 1-800 CONSUMER SATISFACTION NUMBER. BASICALLY, AFTER MANY CALLS AND ARGUMENTS THE WOMEN I SPOKE WITH SAID THAT "THE RECALL DID APPLY TO THE PART IN MY TRUCK, BUT CHEVROLET WOULD NOT PAY FOR THE REPAIRS DUE TO THE AGE AND MILEAGE OF THE TRUCK". HOWEVER, THEY DID SAY THAT "THERE IS AN OPEN CAMPAIGN ON THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH". I ASKED THEM HOW COULD THE AGE AND MILEGE OF THE TRUCK ELIMINATE THE WINDSHIELD WIPER RECALL AND NOT THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH RECALL. THEY COULD NOT ANSWER THIS. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT, THE TWO OTHER VEHICLES THAT OPERATE THAT HAD WIPER RECALLS ARE NOT EXPERIENCING ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE WIPERS AND HAVE BEEN FIXED, THE ONE TRUCK THAT I AM EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THE WIPERS, CHEVY WILL NOT FIX. I HAVE TIRED NUMEROUS TIME TO GET THROUGH ON THE TELEPHONE AND LEFT VOICE MAIL MESSAGES TO RETURN MY CALL AT NHTSA AND HAVE NOT GOTTEN A RESPONSE. YOUR ASSISTANCE IN THIS MATTER IS GREATLY APPRECIATED. *AK

THIS PROBLEM IS IN EXCESS OF THE PREVIOUS SEATBACK PROBLEM. THIS WAS A METAL FATIQUE OF THE BOTTOM OF THE SEAT WHERE IT BOLTS TO THE SEAT TRACK . THIAS METAL IS TOO THIN, MAKING IT A HAZARD TO BE DRIVING. I WAS FORTUNATE TO BE AT STAND STILL WHEN THE SEAT GAVE WAY. I THINK THAT THIS INCIDENT SHOULD BE THROUGLY INVESTIGATED.
