1 Windshield Wiper/washer problem of the 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

Failure Date: 07/05/2011

Safety recall 10153. The solutions offered by gm is inadequate. They want to disconnect the washer heater and compensate with $100. 1. $100 dollars does not adequately reflect the value of this heated washer option and its loss or the devaluation of my vehicle if the feature is disabled. 2. The heated washer fluid option is a very important safety feature 3. The heated washer fluid system should be repaired, not disconnected. I want to know why gm is not replacing the modules with a equipment that resolves the problem.
