September 1, 1999: Ac problem (not cooling) repaired under warranty. November 3, 1999: Left driverS door window motor replaced under warranty (not passenger side as documented on the invoice). January 31, 2003: I wrote to GMC customer service via email, detailing some problems that had developed with my van. I complained that the driverS window motor was intermittent at best. I mentioned was the windshield wipers worked erratically. My low setting on the ac fan was inoperable, and eventually all 3 levels stopped. I had been living with it for over a year, because I am a single mom, work full time and couldnT afford to be without my transportation. The reply I got was that my van was too old, and things break. Three months later, I received a recall campaign in the mail for the windshield wiper motor. May 8, 2003: I took my van into the closest GMC dealer to have my driverS window motor ($329.38) and the ac resistor replaced ($103.24), and perform the campaign to replace the windshield motor. July 22, 2003: Returned to GMC dealer to repair ac problem (ac blows from defroster and not from vents) that developed May 10, 2003.($132.50) September 24, 2003: Returned to GMC dealer for same ac problem that returned July 30, 2003. That van was in the service department all day, and was never repaired. I had to have my car for work and could not leave it. Needless to say, I was very unhappy with them. I had been unable to leave the van again until just recently, choosing instead to live with the problem until such time I could afford to be without the car for a day. April 20, 2004: Returned to GMC dealer for ac problem. Was told the hose was broken in a different place than before. (169.24). During the drive home, the ac problem returned. April 29, 2004: Van wonT start due to a dead battery. I replaced the battery, and still same problem returns. Now I have an electrical problem somewhere that is killing my battery, and I canT find it.

Understand GMC is aware of motor/circuit control windshied failure(what causes wipers not to work) because at the dealer they said GMC had issue a replacement kit but since there was no recall on it I had to pay around $300 for it. I think GMC should go ahead a pay for it since they know is a problem.
