NHTSA Complaint #762775 — 1995 CHEVROLET S10

I CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY GM DOES NOT WANT TO ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE AND POSSIBLY FATAL DEFECT OF THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR SOLDER JOINT NEAR THE WIRING HARNESS CONNECTOR THAT HAS CRACKED CAUSING MY WIPERS TO WORK INTERMITTENTLY. THIS VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM HAS CAUSED ME TO HAVE REDUCED VISIBILITY ON THE HIGHWAY AT A RATE OF SPEED OF 65 MPH. I WAS IN A HORRIBLE RAIN STORM THAT CAME ON ALL OF THE SUDDEN AND MY WIPERS QUIT IN MID STREAM!!!! I ALMOST CRASHED INTO A SEMI-TRUCK IN ORDER TO AVOID COLLIDING WITH THE CEMENT BARRIER. NOT ONLY WAS I IN THE TRUCK BUT SO WAS MY 3 YR OLD CHILD! I WANT THIS PROBLEM WITH ALL OF THE DEFECTIVE WIPER MOTORS FIXED IMMEDIATELY! THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF LIVES AT STAKE HERE. I WANT TO KNOW IF GM WOULD RATHER ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DEATHS OF PEOPLE THAT MAY BE AFFECTED BY THEIR OBVIOUS DEFECT, BECAUSE OUR VIN #'S AREN'T PART OF THE "CAMPAIGN" 98V150001. I THINK THAT IT IS HORRIFYING TO KNOW THAT SUCH A MUTIBILLION DOLLAR COMPANY DOESNT CARE THAT BECAUSE OUR TRUCKS WERE MANUFACTURED A MONTH PRIOR TO THE RECALL SPECIFICATIONS ON MAUFACTUR DATE, THAT WE SHOULDN'T QUALIFY? I WANT TO KNOW THAT I MATTER. I ALONG WITH SO MAY OTHERS HAVE DONE OUR PART AND COULD HAVE NO WAY SHAPE OR FORM PREVENTED THIS MALFUNCTION FROM OCCURRING. I HONORED MY COMMITMENT TO GM BY PAYING THE PURCHASE PRICE. GM DO YOUR PART AND HONOR YOUR GUARENTEE OF EXCELLENCE, BY KEEPING US SAFE FROM HARM OR DEATH! GM NEEDS TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE BEFORE I AND HUNDREDS OF OTHERS STEP UP TO COURT. IT WOULD BE MUCH MORE COST EFFICIENT FOR GM TO ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY NOW!!! I TRUELY DON'T SEE A NEED TO REINVESTIGATE THE MATTER. I BELIEVE IT IS CRYSTAL CLEAR TO ALL THAT WILL READ MY AND ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS, NOT INCLUDING THE OTHERS THAT WERE TURNED AWAY BY GM CUSTOMER SERVICE BECAUSE THE WARRANTY WAS UP! THAT SHOULDN'T MATTER THERE WASN'T ANY PREVENTABLE THING WE AS S10 OWNERS COULD HAVE DONE! *AK
