“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. This has happened several times and seems to fix itself after they dry out. 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. …”
