WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL INTERMITTENTLY STOP WORKING, RESULTING IN POOR VISABILITY FOR CONSUMER WHEN DRIVING. CONTACTED DEALER, AND THE DEALER STATED THAT VEHICLE WAS NOT PART OF RECALL 98V150001 DUE TO VIN. *AK

MY TRUCK HAS THEWINDSHIELD WIPER PROBLEM THAT A SAFETY RECALL HAS BEEN ORDERED ON. GM CLAIMS THAT MY VIN NUMBER IS TOO HIGH AND MY TRUCK IS NOT AFFECTED EVEN THOUGH IT IS OBVIOUS TO ANYONES EYES IT IS. THE RECALL NUMBER IS 98043 OR NHTSA # 98V150001. I HAVE BEEN NOTICING MY WIPERS BEING INTERMITTENT AND CONTINUOUSLY GETTING WORSE. GM REFUSES TO RECOGNIZE THIS AS A SAFETY ISSUE. I TRIED CONTACTING ANYONE AND EVERYONE TO NO AVAIL. I MADE A CASE TO THEM TO WHICH THE CUSTOMER NO SERVICE REP TOLD ME THAT GM WOULD LOOK INTO IT IF THEY SAW ALOT OF COMPLAINTS COME IN. ITS OBVIOUS THAT THEIR RECALL DID NOT COVER ALL THE VEHICLES AFFECTED BECAUSE I HAVE THE EXACT PROBLEMS THAT ARE DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL.

SINCE PURCHASING MY TRUCK, THERE HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH IT SIMPLY SHUTTING DOWN MID MOTION, CAUSING BRAKE AND STEERING FAILURE. THREE MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE THIS PROBLEM WAS DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE FOR AN ACCIDENT (ON AN ICY ROADWAY) IN NH. I HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK TO COUNTLESS GARAGES IN AN ATTEMPT TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM, TO NO AVAIL. I CONTINUE HEARING FROM SEVERAL MECHANICS; "FUEL INJECTION PROBLEM - A BAD YEAR FOR GMC ..." THE PROBLEM WAS ONLY OCCASIONAL AT THE START, AND TOLERABLE, BUT HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE - TO THE POINT WHERE I NO LONGER AM COMFORTABLE TAKING IT OUT OF THE YARD - YET I CONTINUE PAYING OFF A LOAN FOR A TRUCK I CANNOT TRUST. AGAIN, I HAVE DEALT WITH THREE DIFFERENT GARAGES (DIESEL), WITH COMPETENT MECHANICS, AND AFTER HAVING VARIOUS PARTS REPLACED - EVENTUALLY FIND MYSELF WITH THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRING, AGAIN AND AGAIN.*AK
