| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I own a 1998 gmc jimmy, vin no. [xxx]. the windshield wipers do not work most of the time, occasionally work intermittently, and the few times they do work, will stop in mid-cycle blocking view through the windshield. gmc has recalled all jimmys from 1993-1997 with the same problem. however, they have not included the 1998 in the same recall. i checked the certificate on my door - my car was manufactured in 02/1998. this problem is creating a safety concern for my daughter and i while in the car. i live in florida where it rains daily during the summer. i called gmc on 5/12/03 to check into the recall on the 1993-1997 jimmy's. i spoke to two customer service representatives. the second one, [xxx], noted my concern, but stated "your vehicle is not included in this recall" i replied "well, who do i call when this issue causes a car accident with me & my daughter?" her response was "call gmc customer service" - she was very rude and did not help solve the problem. this problem occurs almost every time it rains. it also occurs when i attempt to use the windshield washer fluid - the fluid will spray but the wipers will not come on. *jb information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr |
