Consumer Description

THIS IS THE SECOND OF MY THREE 1997 GMC VEHICLES TO EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM. THE WIPER MODULE FAILED. THE FIRST TIME WAS ON A 1997 S10 EXT CAB 4WD; IT COST ME $175 TO GET THAT ONE REPAIRED BY DEALER REPLACEMENT OF THE MODULE. I HAVE NO YET TAKEN THIS ONE, A 1997 GMC SONOMA , TO THE DEALERSHIP. I HAVE CHECKED TO SEE IF THE PART IS AVAILABLE AT OTHER THAN A DEALERSHIP. IT IS NOT. IF THERE IS NO RECALL THERE SHOULD BE. THERE HAS BEEN AMPLE INCIDENCES REPORTED TO CREATE AT LEAST SOME INVESTIGATION. I CHECKED ON RECALLS FOR THE S10 AND WAS TOLD NO.*AK
