problem #2

Aug 152002

Bravada

  • Automatic transmission
  • 65,000 miles
Other: Replacing the windshield wiper motor engine: A cyclinder on the vehicle cracked and needed a new motor. This is absurd. With a regularly maintained vehicle, with only 5 1/2 years of ownership there should be no reason other than improper casting, metal fatigue, default from the factory that a new motor should have been needed with this kind of mileage.
