I am writing this complaint on a recall that already exist and has not been resolved properly. I am the owner of a GMC Envoy 2002. In 2004 there was a safety recall that because of water getting into the wiper motor that the motor would fail and cause an accident. Well the fix for this was to put a cover over the wiper motor in most cases. Well my self and other trailblazer and Envoy owners now are seeing the effects of the damage that was done to our wiper motors since 2002. The motor is beginning to skip or sometimes fail because it is slowly rusting from before. Gm need to come up with a real solution to this problem and actually make these vehicles safe.
