1 Windshield problem

Failure Date: 06/30/2004

On my way to work, my windshield wiper keeps failing. It's almost 100% guaranteed to fail during any rain. It also fails when using the windshield washer. This is very dangerous, as I do only highway driving every day. I know that previous years had the recall, yet the 1998 has not been recalled for fix. I realized this was a problem during the first rain after I purchased my vechicle 2 1/2 years ago. I hope gm is willing to fix this problem soon. I am sincerly considering converting to another maker.

2 Windshield problem

Failure Date: 11/07/2003

My winshield wiper/washer fails without notice. I took it to my regular repair shop and was referred to the local GMC dealer account recall code #3023 from gm. When the dealer ran the computer check it was found that my specific vehicle was not listee for this recall even if it was on a different data base. Now they want $65 for the relay and $55 to install it. This sounds like bull to me. Once again gm puts out defective parts and when they get caught they want the consumer to pay for it. Ak.
