#704814March 23, 1999
VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER:MOTOR
I FOUND OUT AFTER I HAD TO REPLACE THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR BECAUSE THE WIPERS WOULD ONLY WORK INTERMITTENTLY AND THAT THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL. I HAD PURCHASED A MOTOR AND INSTALLED IT MYSELF TO SAVE $100 OVER THE COST OF A MOTOR FROM THE DEALER, NOT TO MENTION LABOR. THE DEALER WOULD ONLY REIMBURSE ME $42, WHICH IT SAID WAS THE COST OF THE CIRCUIT BOARD. AT THE TIME I HAD TO REPLACE THE MOTOR, THE CIRCUIT BOARD WAS NOT AVAILABLE TO ME. I ONLY THINK THAT I SHOULD HAVE BEEN REIMBURSED FOR MY ACTUAL EXPENSES WHICH TOTALED ABOUT $70 FOR A REBUILT MOTOR. (THE DEALER WANTED $170 FOR A MOTOR). *AK
