SIR OR MA'AM, I BOUGHT A 1997 GMC SIERRA C/K SERIES 1500 PICKUP IN 1999. RECENTLY WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN MY WINDSHIELD WIPER BECAME INOPERATIVE.

I RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET AND HAVE FOUND THAT GMC RECALL HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF ITS VEHICLES FOR THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM. I CONTACT GMC AND THEY SAY THAT MY VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS PROBLEM WHEN I KNOW IT IS A FACTORY DEFECT AND A SEVERE SAFETY PROBLEM BECAUSE THE DRIVER HAS NO VISIBILITY, WHILE RAINING, WHEN THIS HAPPENS. HERE IS THE INFORMATION FOR MY VEHICLE: 1997 GMC SIERRA C/K1500 PICKUP I THINK GMC SHOULD REPAIR THIS BEFRE
WINDSHIELD WIPER CIRCUIT BOARD AND COVER RECALLED DUE TO DEFECTIVE - BOARD DEVELOPED CRACKS WHICH WOULD CAUSE THE WIPERS TO NOT WORK. GMC ISSUED A RECALL OF WHICH I DID NOT RECEIVE A NOTICE.
