DT: THE CONTACT OWNS A 1995 CHEVROLET C/K PICKUPS. HE STATES THAT IN 2002 WHILE IN FLORIDA WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR STOPPED WORKING HAD THE ELECTRICAL PLATE REPLACED BECAUSE THAT WAS WHAT THE DEALERSHIP STATED THE PROBLEM WAS. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD HIM THAT HE WOULD HAVE TO WAIT FOR 5 DAYS BEFORE THEY COULD PUT THE PLATE ON. SO HE WENT TO THE PARTS DEPARTMENT AND HE SOLD HIM ONE FOR $50, AND HE PUT IT ON HIMSELF. AFTER THE WARRANTY WAS UP CONSUMER THOUGHT IT WAS BETWEEN 30-90 DAYS . LATER HE RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER SINCE HE THREW THE RECEIPT AWAY HE WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP ,TO SEE IF THEY WOULD PRINT HIM UP ANOTHER ONE. THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT DO THAT. SO HE CALLED GM, AND THEY CALLED THE DEALERSHIP . THEY WOULD NOT PRINT UP A RECEIPT FOR THEM EITHER SO THEY TOLD HIM TO GET A PART NUMBER FROM THE PLATE. HE WENT OUT AND LOOKED THERE WAS NO PART NUMBER OR NO PLACE TO PUT A PART NUMBER. SO GM STATED THAT WITHOUT THE PART NUMBER OR THE RECEIPT THEY COULD NOT DO REIMBURSEMENT. THE RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER IS 03V159000.*AK
THE CONSUMER STATED THE FRONT WINDSHIELD "RIPPLED", SIGNIFICANTLY WHICH REDUCED VISIBILITY WHEN DRIVING.*AK *TS *JB

ON CERTAIN MINIVANS, PICKUP TRUCKS, AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES WITH CERTAIN MODEL-ENGINE COMBINATIONS, THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR MAY FAIL DUE TO CRACKED SOLDER JOINTS ON THE CONTROLLER CIRCUIT BOARD. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS COULD WORK INTERMITTENTLY OR NOT AT ALL.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THIS WERE TO OCCUR DURING BAD WEATHER, DRIVER VISIBILITY WOULD BE REDUCED, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE WIPER MOTOR CIRCUIT BOARD AND COVER. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN ON JUNE 19, 2003. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT CHEVROLET AT 1-800-222-1020, GMC AT 1-800-462-8782, OR OLDSMOBILE AT 1-800-442-6537.
