“Gmc sent a recall letter in february 2003 and stated wipers for gmc trucks would stop working intermittently. The letter also stated if you have had this problem, take your vehicle to a gmc dealer for repairs at no cost to you. The letter did not require the repair be done, only indicated if you have had this problem. I never had the itermittent problem, my wipers stopped with no warning in february 2005. Gmc refuses to make these necessary costly repairs even though it is a life threatening matter.*ak”Owner report · Visibility · Jan 2005
