WINDSHIELD WIPERS INTERMITTENTLY FAILED TO TURN ON WHEN DRIVING AND STARTS TO RAIN. CANNOT SEE ROAD WHEN DRIVING . DID NOT RECEIVE RECALL NOTIFICATION 98V150001. GM MUST WIDEN SCOPE OF RECALL TO INCLUDE THIS VEHICLE AND OTHERS. PLEASE COMMAND GM TO INCLUDE THIS VEHICLE UNDER RECALL 98V150001. I AM TOO POOR TO REPAIR THIS DANGEROUS SAFETY DEFECT MYSELF WHAT WITH ALL THE OTHER RECENT UNANTICIPATED REPAIRS THAT I HAVE HAD TO MAKE TO THIS VEHICLE RECENTLY. GM IS LIABLE FOR SAFETY DEFECT AND BY LAW MUST PAY TO REMEDY THE SITUATION. I LOVE THIS TRUCK. I HAVE OWNED 6 CHEVY TRUCKS ALL BOUGHT BRAND NEW FROM DEALER. GM AND NHTSA PLEASE HELP. MR

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER:MOTOR
WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR OPERATES INTERMITTENTLY. LAST FAILURE OCCURRED AT 60 MILES AN HOUR DURING HEAVY THUNDERSTORM. I WAS PULLING A 7000 TRAILER ON A TWO LANE ROAD WITH NO SHOULDER. I HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH SO THAT I COULD SEE WELL ENOUGH TO STAY ON THE ROAD, HOPEING NO ONE WOULD REAR END ME. THIS PROBLEM IS IN GM'S RECALL # 98043 AND YOUR # 98V150, BUT DOES NOT INCLUDE MY VIN # , EVEN THOUGH THE PROBLEM IS EXACTLY AS EXPLAINED IN GM'S RECALL. THISW IS A $270 REPAIR THAT GMSHOULD COVER BECAUSE THE WIPER MOTOR IS OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE AND IS A MAJOR SAFETY PROBLEM. THANK YOU, [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).
