Consumer Description

WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED DURING A RAIN STORM, THIS HAS HAPPENED 5 TIMES PREVIOUSLY. THIS PROBLEM WAS A RECALL ON THE 1995 BLAZERS AND JIMMYS, BUT NOT ON THE 1996 MODELS EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE SAME PART USED ON BOTH YEARS, ACCORDING TO A PARTS PERSON AT A GMC DEALER SHIP. FORTUNATELY NO ONE IN OUR FAMILY WAS INJURED. I AM HAVING THE PROBLEM FIXED AT MY EXPENSE, DUE TO THE FACT THAT GMC WILL NOT PAY FOR THE DEFECT. I FEEL I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR THIS FOR THIS DANGEROUS DEFECT, AND THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE CORRECTED, BY RECALL, BEFORE SERIOUS INJURIES OCCUR. SINCERLY, RONALD L KELLER *AK
