1995 GMC SIERRA Visibilitywindshield Wiperwasher Problems

WINDSHIELD WIPER FAILED TO OPERATE, REDUCING DRIVER'S VISIBILITY AND INCREASING THE RISK OF AN ACCIDENT. *BF RECALL CAMPAIGN: THE CONSUMER READ ABOUT RECALL 98V150001 CONCERNING WINDSHIELD WIPER FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR BUT WAS TOLD THAT HIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. *NM

#1, I SPENT 1,164.73 TO HAVE MY ANTI-LOCK BRAKES REPAIRED AT A DEALER. I FOUND A SAFETY RECALL OF 1.4 MILLION REPORTS OF BRAKE FAILURE,WITH KELSY-HAVE PARTS ("KCB4"AND "EBC4"UNITS).WHY IF I HAD TO SPEND OVER $ 1,100.00 TO HAVE MY TRUCK REPAIRED WAS I NOT NOTIFIED????? #2 MY EMERGENCY FLASHERS BUTTON IS JAMMED AND THE DEALER WANTS 485.00 TO REPAIR. I HAD THE WINDSHIELD WIPER REPAIRED. WHY IS MY EMERGENCY EQUIPMENT FAILING? AND THERE IS NO RECALL NOTICE!!!! #3 MY EMERGENCY BRAKE CABLE AND HANDLE-BOTH BROKE. HOW MUCH IS A DEALER GOING TO RIP ME OFF TO REPAIR. #4 I HAD TO REPAIR THE COLD SOLDER JOINTS ON MY HOT/COLD SWITCH SO MY A/C WOULD RUN COLD. ONCE AGAIN THE DEALER WANTED TO REPLACE THE WHOLE UNIT-"RIP ME OFF!!" #5 WHY AFTER ALMOST 100 YEARS CANT A CAR MAKER BUILD THEIR CARS BETTER RATHER THAN CAUSING THE CONSUMER TO KEEP...

INTERMITTENTLY WINDSHIELD WIPERS BECOME INOPERABLE, OBSTRUCTING THE DRIVER'S VIEW. DEALER NOTIFIED.*AK

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED OPERATING DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER WHICH CAUSED POOR VISIBILITY. WHEN THE WIPERS STOPPED OPERATING, THE TURN SIGNAL SWITCH MADE A LOUD CLICKING NOISE. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER DETAILS. *NLM

CONSUMER STATES WHEN IT RAINS THEIR WINDSHIELD WIPES INTERMITTENLY, AND ONLY WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD. THIS PREVENTS THEM FROM CLEARLY SEEING THE ROAD WHEN IT IS RAINING.

WINDSHIELD WIPERS WORK INTERMMITENTLY. MOSTLY RAINING OR WET CONDITIONS. GOING ON TWO YEARS NOW. I SEE THIS RELATES TO RECALL 98V150. HOWEVER, THE GMC DEALER USED MY VIN NUMBER AND DID NOT FIND RECALL APPLICABLE TO THIS. WHY NOT? I KNOW OF MANY OTHERS AND EVEN THE DEALER SAID HE GETS AT LEAST ONE A DAY FOR THIS PROBLEM. HE IS CHARGING $149 TO REPLACE THE WIPER CIRCUIT. OTHERS HAVE GOTTEN THIS COVERED UNDER RECALL. CAN I GET GMC TO COVER THIS?

WHILE DRIVING WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING. CONTACTED DEALER, AND DEALER REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING.*AK

NHTSA # 98V150001, COVERS MY VEHICLE AND THE MANUFACTURER SAID MY VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED ACCORDING TO MY VIN. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF A RECALL BUT THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ONLY WORK WHEN THEY WANT TO WITH NO PRIOR WARNING. WE REPLACED THE MOTOR AT OUR OWN EXPENSE.*AK

WHILE TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY DURING A RAIN STORM FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING, CAUSING POOR DRIVER'S VISIBILITY, WHICH CAUSED DRIVER TO PULL OFF TO SIDE OF THE ROAD. CONSUMER HAS CONTACTED DEALER. *AK THERE IS A RECALL REGARDING THIS, 98V150001, HOWEVER CONSUMERS VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED. *SLC

THE VEHICLE'S WIPERS FAILED, CONSUMER WAS NOTIFIED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC THAT THIS COMPONENT WAS RECALLED, THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER BUT WAS TOLD THAT HIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL 98V-150, THE VEHICLE WAS WITHIN RANGE OF VIN'S, THE CONSUMER BELIEVES THE SCOPE OF THE RECALL IS TOO NARROW AND THAT IT SHOULD BE BROADENED TO INCLUDE OTHER GM VEHICLES. NLM

INTERMITTENT WIPER AND WASHER OPERATION - SAME AS OTHER COMPLAINTS - DEALER AND GMC BOTH STATE VEHICLE NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL (NHTSA 98V15001, AND MFG.#98043) BASED ON VIN NUMBER.
