Consumer Description

WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR WORK INTERMITTENTLY. IT SOMETIMES WILL NOT WORK AT ALL, SOMETIMES WILL STOP IN MID-CYCLE, SOMETIMES WILL CYCLE REPEATEDLY WHEN USING THE MIST FEATURE. GM HAS ADMITTED THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH 96 AND 97 S-10'S BUT SAYING THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH 98 AND NEWER. AFTER A VERY LENGTHY DISCUSSION WITH A CUSTOMER SERVICE REP. AT GM, THEY DECIDED TO GIVE ME 50% CREDIT IF I TAKE MY TRUCK TO A GM DEALER AND HAVE IT PROPERLY DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRED THERE, BUT WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY AT ALL FOR A DEFECT IN THEIR PRODUCT!!!!! THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK IN 01/04, MAKES ME THINK TWICE ABOUT BUYING ANOTHER GM PRODUCT. *LA
