problem #2

Mar 302005

S-10 Pickup 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 30,000 miles
There is an intermittent short in the wiper control/ motor system that each time I reported it to the Chevy dealers in this area was told that they could not find a problem. And that there were not any other reports of this kind. As I can see from the NHTSA website this is patently untrue. Since my vehicle is currently past warranty due to your agents stalling tactics, if this letter does not bring redress to this issue I will be forced to turn this issue over to my attorneys. Sincerely [xxx]. information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

The windshield wiper comes on and off intermittenly. And the transmission is slipping. The dealership is aware of the problem.
