NHTSA Complaint #10116362 — 1994 CHEVROLET C/K PICKUPS

ON AUGUST 17,1999 MY WIPER MOTOR AND CIRCUIT BOARD HAD TO BE REPLACED ON MY 1994 CHEVROLET K1500 PICKUP. I JUST RECENTLY LEARNED THAT THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL (03V159000) ON THIS ITEM DUE TO DEFECTIVE SOLDER JOINTS ON THE CONTROLLER BOARD. AFTER NOTIFYING GM BY PHONE I WAS TOLD THAT "MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT ONE OF THE VEHICLES UNDER RECALL-I ALSO WENT TO MY DEALER THAT HAD REPLACE THE PARTS AND THEY ALSO STATED THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. I FEEL THAT ANY VEHICLE THAT HAD A WIPER MOTOR AND CIRCUIT BOARD REPLACED BY DEALER SHOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR THE COST OF THAT ITEM BECAUSE IF IT WAS NOT DEFECTIVE IT WOULD STILL BE WORKING.
