Windshield wiper motor failure. Mr the windshield wiper motor failed prior to the expiration of the warranty. The dealer was unable to duplicate the problem and declined to replace the module. The complete failure of the wiper motor occurred during a severe rainstorm. The turn signal module/switch failed, and the driver side seat belt did not retract. Dealer was unable to duplicate the seat belt problem. Scc.
Drivers seat slid forward forcing my knee into the dash. I sustained a cut to my left eyelid, which may have been caused by hitting the stearing column. The air bags did not deploy though I hit the rear of another SUV, a blazer. Seat belt did not seem to hold me in place or restrain me.
