WITH UNDER 50,000 MILES ON OUR VAN THE ENGINE HAD TO BE REPLACED. WE HAD THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHAT CAUSED THE ENGINE TO THROW A ROD. NO PARTS BESIDE A NEW ENGINE WERE REPLACED.

THE WIPERS QUIT WORKING AT HIGHWAY SPEED IN HEAVY RAIN AND HEAVY TRAFFIC. IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS, AND WE WERE FORTUNATE THAT NO ONE WAS INJURED. WHEN I WENT TO BUY THE REPLACEMENT, THE DEALER'S PARTS GUYS WERE VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE PROBLEM. THEY SAID THAT IF I HAD A PICKUP INSTEAD OF A MINIVAN, THE PART WOULD BE FREE, AS THEY WERE MADE SO BADLY THAT THEY WERE UNDER RECALL. HOWEVER, SINCE WE HAD A MINIVAN, THEY WOULD CHARGE US FOR THE SAME PROBLEM PART. THE FAILED PART NUMBER IS 22101636. THE NEW PART NUMBER IS 12463017. FAILING CKT BOARD NUMBER: 22122142 REV. C. REPLACEMENT CKT BOARD NUMBER: 24013536 REV. C. YOU NEED TO DO EVERYTHING YOU CAN TO GET GM TO RECALL THESE TIME-BOMBS-FOR-ACCIDENTS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THEY ARE ACCIDENTS WAITING TO HAPPEN. IF YOU CAN GET ME A REFUND AT THE SAME TIME, THAT'S FINE WITH ME. I WROTE GM ABOUT THIS SEVERAL WEEKS AGO, AND THEY HAVE NOT BOTHERED TO RESPOND. I CAN MAIL/FAX A COPY OF THAT LETTER TO YOU IF YOU LIKE.
