WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR REPLACED PRIOR TO RECALL.

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS HAVE A MALFUNCTION. SOMETIMES THEY WORK, SOMETIMES THEY DON'T. I CAN BE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET, WITH THE WIPERS ON, AND THEY WILL JUST QUIT. SOMETIMES, WHEN IT STARTS RAINING THEY WON'T EVEN COME ON. IT'S FRUSTRATING AND DANGEROUS. CHEVY HAS A RECALL OUT FOR THIS PROBLEM, THEY STATE THAT IT EFFECTS 1995 S-10S, BUT ACCORDING TO MY VIN, MY VEHICLE IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. OBVIOUSLY, THAT IS INCORRECT, MY WIPERS ARE DOING EXACTLY WHAT THE RECALL STATES. I FAIL TO UNDERSTAND WHY MY TRUCK IS NOT CONSIDERED UNDER THIS RECALL. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST PROBLEM I HAVE HAD WITH THIS VEHICLE. THIS TRUCK IS A LEMON. I HAVE NUMEROUS OTHER PROBLEMS FOR WHICH CHEVY WAS UNWILLING TO EVEN CONSIDER AS A POSSIBLE MANUFACTURE DEFECT. ONE OF THOSE CONDITIONS WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE EGR VALVE. I TRIED TO TELL THEM THERE WAS A PROBLEM. I HAD THE EGR REPLACED AT ABOUT 40 OR 50K. NOW CHEVY WANTS TO SEND A RECALL NOTICE OUT. OF COURSE THEY ONLY REIMBURSE IF THE REPAIRS WERE MADE BY A CHEVY DEALER, MINE WEREN'T. I ALSO HAD A DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION REPLACED AT 45K. CHEVY WASN'T WILLING TO LISTEN TO ME ABOUT THAT EITHER. I GUESS THE COMMERCIAL THAT GEORGE STRAIGHT MAKES FOR CHEVY IS FALSE ADVERTISING. I WONDER HOW GEORGE WOULD FEEL IF HE KNEW HE WAS SUPPORTING SUCH A SORRY OPERATION\PRODUCT. I REALIZE THESE PROBLEMS ARE UNRELATED TO MY ORIGINAL COMPLAINT. I HAVE A SHOE BOX FULL OF RECEIPTS. I WILL WEED THROUGH THEM AND SEND ANOTHER QUESTIONAIRE REGARDING THESE ISSUES. THANKS SO MUCH

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON MY TRUCK STOPPED IN MID-WIPE DURING A RECENT RAIN STORM TWICE WHILE I WAS TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE 24, DURING A HEAVY RAINSTORM. I CALLED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER RECALL. WHEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN THIS MORNING I WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT UNDER RECALL AND THAT IT WOULD COST $81.25 TO REPLACE THE WIPER MODULE. I PAID FOR THE REPAIR BUT FEEL THAT IF THEY ARE RECALLING S-10'S FOR THIS REASON THAT MINE SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPAIRED ALSO. IT APPEARS THAT THE RECALL DOES NOT TAKE CARE OF THE TOTAL PROBLEM, BUT ONLY A PORTION OF THE VEHICLES WITH PROBLEMS. PLEASE ASSIST ME AND OTHER S-10 OWNERS THAT THIS EFFECTS.

THE BRAKES ARE HAVING PROBLEMS. CONSUMER CAN STAND ALL THE WAY ON THE PEDAL, AND BRAKES WILL NOT RESPOND UNTIL 30 SECONDS AFTERWARDS VEHICLE WILL START TO SLOW DOWN.
