| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I own a 1997 gmc sierra extended cab pickup (gmc k15), [xxx]. my problem is failure of the windshield wiper motor. the nhtsa has a campaign# 03v-159 which was subject to a renotification recall earlier in 2005. upon checking with gmc i was told that the recall did not apply to my vehicle even though many other 1997 gmc pickups and suvs were subject to the recall. i explained that i received a recall earlier in 2003, which i still have, that allowed for a recall. at that time i did not have the motor replaced because i was not experiencing problems. after the 2003 recall period had closed i began having the motor failure and was told it was too late. i don't understand why the renotification should not apply to my vehicle now since my vehicle was identified in the earlier recall in 2003. i continue to have wiper motor problems which occur mostly when it rains. this is a serious safety hazard and an admitted defect by gmc. thank you for your assistance. please reply to my email with your response. *nm updated 07/19/2012 *js information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6) |
