I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO ANAHEIM HILLS GMC UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY AND TOLD THEM ABOUT MY WIPERS WORKING INTERMITENTLY OR NOT WORKING AT ALL. THE WIPERS ONLY FAILED TO OPERATE ONCE FOR ME AT THIS TIME. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT THE WIPERS WERE WORKING FINE THAT DAY THEY TESTED AND THERES NOTHING THEY CAN DO, ESPECIALLY SINCE MY VIN WASN'T LISTED ON THE RECALL. IT'S BEEN ALMOST A YEAR NOW AND THE PROBLEM HAS INCREASED IN SEVERITY AND FREQUENCY. I CAN'T SEE OUT OF MY WINDSHIELD MANY TIMES AND HAVE TO PULL OVER TO CLEAN IT MANUALLY. SOMETIMES THE WIPERS DON'T STOP WORKING EVEN IN THE OFF POSITION SO MY WIPER BLADES ARE GETTING TORE UP ON A DRY WINDSHIELD. THE WASHER FEATURE ONLY WORKS 10% OF THE TIME. I AM HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM THAT THE CAMPAIGN RECALL COVERS. I AM TOLD BY GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE THAT...

WHEN WE FIRST TEST DROVE THIS VEHICLE WE NOTICED THAT THE BRAKES WERE "GRABBING" VERY ABNORMALLY AND WE COMMENTED THAT THE BRAKES HAD A BAD PROBLEM TO THE SALESMAN THAT WAS WITH US, ALSO WE HAD NOTICED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPER DID NOT WORK PROPERLY ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE. WE WERE TOLD THAT THE BRAKES WOULD BE FIXED AND THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPER WOULD BE FIXED. THE DEALER SAID THAT THEY HAD TURNED THE ROTORS ON BOTH FRONT AND BACK BRAKES AND HAD REPAIRED THE WIPER. AFTER WE HAD PURCHASED THE VEHICLE THE BRAKES WERE BETTER BUT THEY WERE NOT FIXED. WHEN YOU WOULD APPLY THE BRAKES AT ANY TIME IT WOULD SHIMMY, BUCK AND JUMP. IF YOU HAD TO MAKE A SUDDEN STOP IT WOULD JUMP MANY TIMES BEFORE IT WOULD COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. I DON'T MEAN THAT THE FOOT PEDAL WOULD JUMP, I MEAN THAT THE...

INTERMITTENTLY WINDSHIELD WIPERS QUIT WORKING IN THE MIDDLE OF OPERATION, AND SOMETIMES THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL NOT COME ON AT ALL. THE PROBLEM WAS REPORTED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER DETAILS. *AK

WINSHIELD WIPER FAILED, CAUSING POOR VISIBILITY. *YC

WINDSHIELD WIPERS FUNCTION INTERMITTENTLY. WIPERS WORK FOR SEVERAL MINUTES AND THEN STOP FOR VARYING PERIODS OF TIME. SOME DAYS THEY DON'T WORK AT ALL. LOCAL DEALER WAS UNAWARE OF ANY RECALLS REGARDING THE WIPERS. GMC HOME OFFICE STATED THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 98V150000, SINCE MY VEHICLE WAS ASSEMBLED AT A DIFFERENT PLANT THAN THE AFFECTED VEHICLES IN THE RECALL NOTICE. THE WIPERS DON'T WORK RELIABLY ENOUGH TO TRAVEL IN INCLEMENT WEATHER. SUDDEN RAINSTORMS CAN CAUSE LOSS OF FORWARD VISIBILITY FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME. MAJOR ACCIDENTS HAVE BEEN AVERTED SO FAR, BUT IT IS A MAJOR CONCERN FOR MY FAMILY'S SAFETY. THANKS.
