1993 GMC Sierra

EVERYONE I KNOW WHO OWNS A FULL-SIZED GENERAL MOTORS PICK-UP HAS EXPERIENCED INTERMETTENT FAILURE OF THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS. MINE HAVE NOW FAILED COMPLETELY AND WILL NOT FUNCTION AT ALL. I CONTACTED THE PARTS DEPARTMENT AT THE LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. THE GENTLEMAN IN THE PARTS DEPARTMENT STATED THAT 'QUITE A FEW' OF THE FAILING COMPONENTS HAVE BEEN SOLD. THE COMPONENT THAT IS FAILING IS SOME TYPE OF ELECTRONIC CARD THAT CONTROLS THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS. THE CARD IS MOUNTED ON THE FIREWALL IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. MY QUESTION IS: IF SO MANY OF THESE CARDS ARE FAILING AND CAUSING THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS TO STOP FUNCTIONING, WHY HASN'T GENERAL MOTORS ISSUED A RECALL TO HAVE A MORE RELIABLE COMPONENT INSTALLED? THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS PERFORM A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY FUNCTION BY MAINTAINING THE DRIVER'S VISION DURING ADVERSE WEATHER CONDITIONS*AK.

CONSUMER HAD RECALL 93V163 COMPLETED, 2 OF THE BOLTS ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE SNAPPED WHILE BRAKING ALSO CAUSING THE SEAT BACK FRAME TO CRACK IN THE WELDS, THE CONSUMER TOOK THIS TO THE DEALER WHO COMPLETED THE WORK FOR THE BOLTS BUT THE CONSUMER HAD TO PAY FOR THE PARTS, THE CONSUMER HAD THE SEAT BACK FRAME REPLACED ON HIS OWN, JUST RECENTLY WHILE BRAKING,THE BOLTS BROKE ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE, CAUSING THE BACK FRAME TO BEND AND SEPARATE AT THE WELD JOINTS, GM STATED THAT BECAUSE THE SEAT RECLINED FORWARD THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLACING OR REPAIRING THE SEAT BOLTS, THE CONSUMER ARGUED THAT WHILE BRAKING THE SEAT WOULD RECLINE FORWARD, BUT THE DEALER STILL REFUSED ANY KIND OF REPAIR. *SLC

WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE INTERMITENT, NOW FAIL AND CAUSE HIGH CURRENT DRAW ON ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. RECALLED SEATS WERE REPAIRED AT DEALER, SEA-BACK MALFUNCTIONED WHILE DRIVING AGAIN REPORTED TO DEALER SAID THEY NEEDED MANAGER APPROVAL, NO MANAGER AVAILABLE NOW DRIVING WITH ICE CHEST HOLDING SEAT BACK IN PLACE SPEED CONTROLS ON CRUISE CONTROL ARE INTERMITTENT BRAKE LIGHT/TURNSIGNAL PASSANGER/REAR BURNS OUT MORE OFTEN THAN OTHER BULBS CHARRING AT ELECTRICAL PLUG ASSY. LEFT DOOR SAGS DOES NOT CLOSE PROPERLY. MY BIGGEST CONCERNS ARE THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND THE SEATS I AM GOING TO TRY DEALING WITH THE REPAIR SHOP BUT ANY HELP FROM THIS ORG. WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT. THE PAINT IS PEELING SO BAD IT IS DOWN TO THE METAL. THE DRIVERS SIDE POWER WINDOW GETS STUCK AT VARIOUS POSITIONS. WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR WENT OUT DURING A SNOW STORM. STARTER AND CATALYTIC CONVERTER HAD TO BE REPLACED ALSO.THIS TRUCK HAS HAD ALOT OF PROBLEMS FOR BEING ONLY 7 YEARS OLD.
