WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD QUITE INTERMITENTLY SOMETIME NOT COMING BACK ON AT ALL. REPORTED PROBLEM ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS SPOKE WITH MANUFACTURER AND DEALERSHIP. WAS TOLD THAT THIS VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL EVEN THOUGH SAME PROBLEM. THE LAST TIME CONTACTED GM THEY ADVISED THAT IT HAD BEEN ADDED SO MADE APPOINTMENT WITH DEALERSHIP AND TOOK DAY OFF TO GET FIXED AND THEN WAS ADVISED THAT IT WASN'T AFTER ALL. SPOKE TO GM AGAIN WAS ADVISED THAT THEY MADE A MISTAKE AND MORE OR LESS TO GET OVER IT AND JUST PAY TO GET IT FIXED. THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT MADE IN THE FACTORY WHERE THE DEFECTIVE PARTS WERE IDENTIFIED AND THE MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE WOULD MAKE IT INVALID ANYWAY. IN ADDITION THE A PIECE OF THE FRAME ON THE DIVERS SEAT HAS BROKEN CAUSING THE SEAT TO ROCK. HAVE ALSO BEEN ADVISED THAT I WAS ON MY OWN IN FIXING THIS ONE (ESTIMATE $500 FROM DEALERSHIP). *AK

ACCORDING TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: -98V150001 AND GM TSB NUMBER 98043 THERE IS A RECALL FOR MY VEHICLES MODEL YEAR TO REPLACE WINDSHIELD WIPER CONTROL MODULE BECAUSE OF DEFECTIVE SOLDER JOINTS. MY TRUCK HAS THIS FAILURE, BUT GMC REFUSES TO REPAIR IT BECAUSE MY VEHICLES VIN IS NOT COVERED IN THEIR RECALL. ACCORDING TO NHTSA THE RECALL COULD AFFECT AS MANY AS 1.5 MILLION VEHICLES, BUT I'VE FOUND REPORTS THAT SAY GM ONLY REPAIRED ABOUT 70,000. I ALSO READ THAT THIS MATTER IS ALREADY UNDER INVESTIGATION, BUT THAT REPORT WAS 6 MONTHS OLD. IS THERE A CURRENT INVESTIGATION? CAN YOU OFFER ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION? *AK

THE SEAT IS LOOSE AND MOVES FROM SIDE TO SIDE MAKING IT DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AND HAS NO BACK SUPPORT. I HAVE CONTACTED THE COMPANY AGAIN. HOPE YOU CAN HELP. PLEASE WE NEED YOUR ADVICE. THIS IS NOT A WEAR AND TEAR PROBLEM, IT IS A MANUFACTOR DEFECT.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND TURNING ON WINDSHIELD WIPERS, THEY WILL NOT WORK ABOUT 30 MINUTES. LATER, WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL KICK IN. CURRENTLY, WINDSHIELD WIPERS DO NOT WORK AT ALL. CONSUMER FEELS THIS IS UNSAFE BECAUSE IF IT'S RAINING MAY REALLY NEED WINDSHIELD WIPERS TO OPERATE. CONSUMER HAS YET TO CONTACT DEALER. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFOMATION. *AK

NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NO. 98V150001 (MFG. CAMPAIGN NO. 98043) GIVES RELIEF TO GM SIERRA OWNERS WHO HAVE HAD WINDSHIELD WIPER FAILURE BUT IS LIMITED TO GM SIERRA'S MANUFACTURED IN CERTAIN PLANTS. UNFORTUNATELY I HAVE HAD THE IDENTICAL FAILURE YET MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED IN A PLANT NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I FEEL LIKE THE MATERIALS USED IN MY VEHICLE ARE IDENTICAL TO THE OTHERS AND YET CAN GET NO RELIEF FOR THIS POOR AND DANGEROUS WORKMANSHIP. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF ALL GM SIERRAS ARE TO BE INCLUDED UNDER THIS CAMPAIGN (AND MINE IS OMITTED IN ERROR) OR IF GMC IS CORRECT IN TELLING ME I AM JUST "OUT OF LUCK". SINCERELY, [XXX] ([XXX]). *AK PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

GM AND DEALERSHIP VISTA CHEVROLET IN LAS VEGAS, NV REFUSED REPAIRS OR REIMBURSEMENT FOR REPAIRS AS REQUIRED BY PRODUCT SAFETY RECALL CAMPAIGN BULLETIN NO. 98043 DATED SEPTEMBER 1998. IF THEY ARE CORRECT THAT OUR VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED BY THIS SAFETY RECALL, THEN THE SCOPE OF THE 1998 RECALL WAS TOO NARROW, AS DEMONSTRATED BY THE FAILURE OF THIS SAME PART IN OUR VEHICLE. WE FINALLY PAID AN INDEPENDENT GARAGE TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE PART IN DECEMBER, 2000. GM SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO EXPAND THE SCOPE OF THE RECALL TO INCLUDE OURS AND SIMILAR VEHICLES.*AK
