Intermittent wiper and washer operation - same as other complaints - dealer and gmc both state vehicle not included in recall (the federal safety agency 98v15001, and mfg.#98043) based on VIN number. There are obviously many failures not included in recall- what does it take to get gm to include this VIN in the recall??
1995 GMC Sierra visibility complaints
Page 3 of 6: complaints 41 to 70 of 140, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Gm and dealership vista chevrolet in las vegas, nv refused repairs or reimbursement for repairs as required by product safety recall campaign bulletin no. 98043 dated september 1998. If they are correct that our vehicle was not covered by this safety recall, then the scope of the 1998 recall was too narrow, as demonstrated by the failure of this same part in our vehicle. We finally paid an independent garage to replace the defective part in december, 2000. Gm should be required to expand the scope of the recall to include ours and similar vehicles.

The windshielf wipers have been a problem for years, but since use of this truck is discretionary and off road for the most part, I never did anything about it. The wipers failed completely on an interstate at night in the rain; I could not see anything. I also could not shake the wiring harness or tap the circuit board to get it to start again, like I have done in the past. I was told there is a recall on this (tsb#98043), but the dealer who took over for the one I bought it from said that it does not apply to my vehicle (VIN). Why not? It is the exact same problem on the same vehicle type/size/etc. If the "recall" does not apply, it should. The new dealer says they will look at it for $75, and then fix it (with perhaps a "credit" being given for the repair). I figure that the $75 is to pay for the fix, to a problem that is endemic, affecting similar vehicles. Please help.

I called the federal safety agency office and reported this by phone in november 2000. They took the same information and said that I would receive a form in the mail to sign and return. The form has never been received. The dealer service tech. Thought this would be covered under the recall.(this is how I found out there was one) when the service manager checked, he said it did not fall into the list of VIN #'s. When I contacted general motors about this issue, they said that I was not covered under the recall that is already going on. My VIN # was not on the list. I had the dealer replace the circuit board at my cost. I would like to see the recall expanded and my money reimbursed. Thank you!

I had windshield wiper module replaced on nov.2,2000,I had heard there was a recall on the wiper module,and had it checked out by the gmc dealership in fort smith,ar.thinking it was on the recall list,but it wasn't, even though it was defective and operated intermittiently& erratically like the recall.if it is doing the same as the recall wiper module,shouldn't it be looked into? It cost $65.03 to have this replaced.I don't mind paying for it if it was worn out,but if it was a factory defect,I would like to be reimbusred and also if it is a factory defect.thank you,rebecca mccall.

My issue is that my VIN is not listed in the recall...the federal safety agency campaign id number 98v150001. My truck is the exact same year and model and is experiencing the identical issue as the stated recall of mfg. Campaign # of 98043 or the federal safety agency campaign id of 98v150001. Can I get my VIN added to the list so I can get this corrected. Don't understand why my truck would not be included in the recall when it is the same year,model, and problem as the recall. Thanks for your time.
