I BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS ONLY WORKING SPORADICALLY, AND WHEN DISCUSSING WITH A FRIEND, I DISCOVERED THERE MIGHT BE A RECALL REGARDING MY VEHICLE. WHEN I WENT ONLINE TO SEARCH IF I WAS COVERED, I DISCOVERED MULTIPLE GM RECALLS THAT COVERED THE PROBLEM I WAS HAVING, AND ONLINE IT SEEMED AS THOUGH MY VAN QUALIFIED. WHEN I PHONED A DEALER WITH MY VIN #, I WAS TOLD I WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. I BELIEVE THAT MY VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM COVERED BY THE RECALL OF THOUSANDS OF OTHER GM VEHICLES.
