Mcnamara pontiac serviced the car on 01/9/98 due to brakes pulsating.at this time they replaced the wiper switch.by september of the following year the part failed while my wife was coming from work in a severe thunderstorm.luckily she was able to get to the side of the road without any incident.we noticed that if we put the left turn signal on,the wipers will work.after speaking with the service rep at the dealer he stated that they could not make the repair under the recall because our vehicle VIN happened to not be on the list .we were quoted approx. $500.00 to make a repair which I feel should be covered under this recall.I don't understand that the part that was replaced in 1998 failed so quickley....this is the second time I've sent a letter to this agency.so far no response..thank you for your time.

Received recall #97v01700. Contacted dealer. Took vehicle to dealer. Was informed vehicle not under recall. Contacted manufacturer & informed vehicle was recalled & consumer should go to different dealer. At other dealer, consumer was informed vehicle already repaired. Contacted manufacturer & told there was a problem & had invoice showing not repaired. Windshield wipers have failed due to inconsistencies on dealers part. Owner wants problem resolved.
Windshield wipers stopped performing during a rainstorm. Dealer said windshield wiper switch needed to be replaced.
Wiper switch was recalled in 1997 due to defect and was replaced - now switch has gone bad again - wipers work intermittenly and could result in inoperative wipers. I believe the newly designed switch which replaced the old one is also defective- please look into - also brake switch is faulty - possible electrical problems - why are switches defecting????
There has been smoke and fumes emitting from the steering column six different times. I have had two turn signals switches replaced and a third one is going bad and two winfshield wiper switches. There was a recall for the wiper switch which went bad also. I have expressed the concern over this being a fire hazard and am worried. I am now writing to gm explaining my concerns.
Windshield wiper's are working intremittently and sometimes they won't go all the way down, and get stuck in the middle of the windshield due broken windshield wiper switch.
Windshield wipers come on and then cut off while driving. The only way to keep them on is to keep the left turn signal on. Recall was performed in 1997. Dealer will not repair under the recall again.
Consumer received a mfr. Recall notice concerning windshield wiper/washer switch in june 98, which he took to the dealer and was informed that everything appeared fine.
