WINDSHIELD WIPER FAILED TO OPERATE, REDUCING DRIVER'S VISIBILITY AND INCREASING THE RISK OF AN ACCIDENT. *BF RECALL CAMPAIGN: THE CONSUMER READ ABOUT RECALL 98V150001 CONCERNING WINDSHIELD WIPER FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR BUT WAS TOLD THAT HIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. *NM
CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE IN TO DEALER TO HAVE THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR CIRCUIT BOARD AND COVER REPLACED DUE TO A RECALL ORDER. THE VEHICLE WORKS WORSE NOW THAN IT DID BEFORE IT WAS BROUGHT TO THE DEALER. WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE WORKING INTERMITTENTLY, AND CURRENTLY THEY ONLY WORK WHEN THEY ARE TURNED ON HIGH. DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER THAT VEHICLE NEEDED A WINDSHIELD WIPER PULSE CONTROL MODULE AT A COST OF $160.00. *AK *NM
#1, I SPENT 1,164.73 TO HAVE MY ANTI-LOCK BRAKES REPAIRED AT A DEALER. I FOUND A SAFETY RECALL OF 1.4 MILLION REPORTS OF BRAKE FAILURE,WITH KELSY-HAVE PARTS ("KCB4"AND "EBC4"UNITS).WHY IF I HAD TO SPEND OVER $ 1,100.00 TO HAVE MY TRUCK REPAIRED WAS I NOT NOTIFIED????? #2 MY EMERGENCY FLASHERS BUTTON IS JAMMED AND THE DEALER WANTS 485.00 TO REPAIR. I HAD THE WINDSHIELD WIPER REPAIRED. WHY IS MY EMERGENCY EQUIPMENT FAILING? AND THERE IS NO RECALL NOTICE!!!! #3 MY EMERGENCY BRAKE CABLE AND HANDLE-BOTH BROKE. HOW MUCH IS A DEALER GOING TO RIP ME OFF TO REPAIR. #4 I HAD TO REPAIR THE COLD SOLDER JOINTS ON MY HOT/COLD SWITCH SO MY A/C WOULD RUN COLD. ONCE AGAIN THE DEALER WANTED TO REPLACE THE WHOLE UNIT-"RIP ME OFF!!" #5 WHY AFTER ALMOST 100 YEARS CANT A CAR MAKER BUILD THEIR CARS BETTER RATHER THAN CAUSING THE CONSUMER TO KEEP THE PARTS/SERVICE INDUSTRY BOOMING. IF MY OLD MAN WASN'T SHOT BY A ?!@#$% FIGHTER PLANE I WOULD BUY FROM THE ?!@#$%, BUT I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO BUY AMERICAN (BECAUSE I AM ONE)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #6 ONE LAST THING WHEN I HAD MY FUEL INJECTORS "CLEANED" THE F/N DEALER JUST PUMPED ALMOST 60 LBS OF AIR IN MY TIRES.(SOME CLEANING)??????*AK

CONSUMER STATES WHEN IT RAINS THEIR WINDSHIELD WIPES INTERMITTENLY, AND ONLY WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD. THIS PREVENTS THEM FROM CLEARLY SEEING THE ROAD WHEN IT IS RAINING.
I CONTACTED GENERAL MOTORS WHEN I FOUND OUT THEY HAD A RECALL ON THE WINDSHIELD WIPER FAILURE. THEY TOLD ME MY VEHICLE WAS NOT ON THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH IT FITS THE RECALL CRITERIA. THEY WANT ME TO PAY FOR A DIAGNOSIS BEFORE THEY WILL OFFER 10% OFF FOR REPLACEMENT PARTS AND LABOR. THE LITTLE MAN DOESN'T STAND A CHANCE WITHOUT THE HELP OF ORGINAZATIONS LIKE YOURSELF. THANKS FOR BEING HERE. GENE SEELIG.*AK
WINDSHIELD WIPERS WORK INTERMMITENTLY. MOSTLY RAINING OR WET CONDITIONS. GOING ON TWO YEARS NOW. I SEE THIS RELATES TO RECALL 98V150. HOWEVER, THE GMC DEALER USED MY VIN NUMBER AND DID NOT FIND RECALL APPLICABLE TO THIS. WHY NOT? I KNOW OF MANY OTHERS AND EVEN THE DEALER SAID HE GETS AT LEAST ONE A DAY FOR THIS PROBLEM. HE IS CHARGING $149 TO REPLACE THE WIPER CIRCUIT. OTHERS HAVE GOTTEN THIS COVERED UNDER RECALL. CAN I GET GMC TO COVER THIS?
WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED IN HEAVY RAIN ON FREEWAY AT 70 MPH. VERY SCARRY. TAPPING WIPER MOTOR OR PULLING ON WIPER ARM RESTORED FUNCTION (UNSURE WHICH WORKED). BECKER IN SPOKANE SAYS MY TRUCK IS NOT COVERED BY RECALL DUE TO WRONG VIN. $83 TO GET NEW PULSE BOARD INSTALLED AND IT SEEMS ONLY DEALERS CARRY THE PART. *AK
