There is a recall on my 1997 chevy Malibu for the windshield wipers and I have had them break do to the recall but the dealer in my town will not cover the recall because I do not have the VIN number that is listed in the recalls and I live in the state of missouri. Just because someone has not reported it from missouri about this happening does not mean it should not be covered. The exact thing that is said to happen to the wipers on the recall has happened to mine and it will cost me 150. 00 to replace the whole system that broke. I want this problem fixed so I can get my car fixed. Please ad missouri to the list and also all chevy Malibus in 1997 should be covered under this recall as it has happened to me. !!!.

The passenger side winsheild wiper arm snapped first in the vertial position, then the driver side windshield wiper arm ran over top of it breaking it too. Trecherous driving conditions were endured in attempting to get off interstate. I was left to drive with nearly no visibility through hurricane frances for 3 more hours until I made it far enough to get out of the storm. 3) when back home in louisville, I took the car to service center to get estimate and fixed since it was predicted to rain soon.

Please take another look at the defect in the design and have chevy notify all of us Malibu owners of the potential for danger. . . Thank you phlecia partain.
