I'm waiting for papers to be sent to me for this complaint. Windshield wipers broke from the snow, and my wife had to slam on the brakes while pulling over cause she couldn't see.

I filed a complaint with NHTSA and gm case # c04015874 in April 01. Gm told me to send in copies of my sales contract and other purchase info to prove I purchased it in NY I did that immediately. They also told me to take the car to a dealer and have it inspected and give them the broken pivot part. I then was told at the end of the year after all this misinformation given to me that they weren't going to reinburse me for the part I had to buy to repair the car. The recall said the snow fall causes the part to break and that's what happened-but they won't honor it. Can you do something for me, the part cost $100. Dollars.

Windshield wiper arm broke. There is a recall, but only for vehicles in salt belt states. This vehicle was not included.

The dealer won't pay for the parts because my VIN# don't come up. The car was purchased and is registered in new york one of the snow belt states affected. Originally, the car was sold and delivered in florida, and that's why my VIN# isn't coming up. Someone has to tell them this car was bought in NY and isn't being used in florida. My wife almost lost control while driving because the defective parts broke while the wet snow came down. I've just found out that a person at my insurance CO, just got there recall and theirs didn't break yet, while mine did. Please help. Sincerely, steve dardzinski.

Date of incident- heavy rains, driving on 1-95 north in stratford, CT- the passenger side wiper system fail- breaks off its mounting bracket- leads to failure of drivers side wiper in a pouring rain on highway- visibilty becomes zero- was lucky to get off the road from middle lane without incident. Found a garage who had never seen anything like this before- put rin-x on my windshield was able to get home. Showed dealer- next day they had never seen anything like this. Made arrangements to have repaired, done and contacted Chevrolet and described this as amanufacturer defect. Car out of warrantee and they would not cover. How many demolished vehicles and fatalities have happened on a rainslick road and the culprit has been the weather when actually the windshield wiper system was at fault, but the dead person was unable to explain what happened just prior to the collision. The car would have severe damage and this defect would have been overlooked. I thoroughly believe by my experience, and lucky to be alive, that this is a manufacturering defect and cause for several deaths. I have the defective parts, or those that where given me by the dealer after the repair. I would like a thorough investigation into this defect as I believe I am one onf the lucky few who survived.
