1997 GMC sierra has windshield wipers malfunction. Windshield wipers quit working at ifferent times usually when it is raining. Currently there is a recall for this type of ehicle but according to gm, not for my vehicle based on the VIN#. The VIN # is [xxx]. I have not repaired the vehicle yet. Updated 07/25/2012 information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
Persistent failure of windshield wiper operation under normal vehicle operation. This led to lack of visibility through windshield. There is a well documented recall of the wiper module assembly for gm trucks/vans. My truck is a 1997 GMC k1500. When I took my truck into the dealership, they informed me that my particular VIN was not included in the recall VIN range. There is no doubt my truck has the bad parts illustrated in the recall(s) (eg, ea02006). My complaint is that it should be included and fixed by gm, and that by some sort of VIN technicality or error, they refuse to fix. What is my course of action to rectify this situation?.
