THE WINDSHIELD WIPER SYSTEM IS INTERMITTENTLY INOPERABLE AT TIMES. IDENTICAL TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID # 98V150001. CHEVROLET REFUSES TO ACCEPT MY VEHICLE UNDER THIS RECALL SINCE IT WAS MANUFACTURED 7/94 INSTEAD OF 8/94. I HAD THE PROBLEM FIXED BY CHEVY; THE FIX CONSISTED OF REPLACING THE SAME BOARD IDENTIFIED BY THE RECALL. I HAD AN ELECTRICIAN EXAM THE BOARD, SINCE I KEPT THE OLD ONE, AND HE IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM WITH THE SOLDER JOINTS BEING CRACKED NEAR THE WIRING HARNESS.

HOW DO I GET REIMBURSED FOR THIS SINCE CHEVY CHARGED ME TO FIX THEIR FAULTY MANUFACTURING PROBLEM ON THE VEHICLE I BOUGHT FROM THEM?

FAILURE OF THE E.G.R.VALUE ALMOST CAUSE A WREAK, BECAUSE THE BRAKING SYSTEM, BECAME INORPERBLE. ALSO THERE WAS NO WARNING GIVING TO ME BY ANY OF THE VEHICULES WARNING DEVICES. FORTUNALLY I WAS ABLE TO STEER TO THE RIGHT AND MISS THE VEHICUL IN FRONT OF ME. AT NO TIME DID A WARNING COME ON TO LET ME KNOW THAT I HAD NO BRAKES. NOW I UNDERSTAND THAT IF THE E.G.R.VALUE GETS CARBON INLODGE IN IT THIS IS WHAT WILL HAPPEN.
