Consumer Description

THE WINDSHIELF WIPERS HAVE BEEN A PROBLEM FOR YEARS, BUT SINCE USE OF THIS TRUCK IS DISCRETIONARY AND OFF ROAD FOR THE MOST PART, I NEVER DID ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THE WIPERS FAILED COMPLETELY ON AN INTERSTATE AT NIGHT IN THE RAIN; I COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING. I ALSO COULD NOT SHAKE THE WIRING HARNESS OR TAP THE CIRCUIT BOARD TO GET IT TO START AGAIN, LIKE I HAVE DONE IN THE PAST. I WAS TOLD THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS (TSB#98043), BUT THE DEALER WHO TOOK OVER FOR THE ONE I BOUGHT IT FROM SAID THAT IT DOES NOT APPLY TO MY VEHICLE (VIN). WHY NOT? IT IS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM ON THE SAME VEHICLE TYPE/SIZE/ETC. IF THE "RECALL" DOES NOT APPLY, IT SHOULD. THE NEW DEALER SAYS THEY WILL LOOK AT IT FOR $75, AND THEN FIX IT (WITH PERHAPS A "CREDIT" BEING GIVEN FOR THE REPAIR). I FIGURE THAT THE $75 IS TO PAY FOR THE FIX, TO A PROBLEM THAT IS ENDEMIC, AFFECTING SIMILAR VEHICLES. PLEASE HELP.
