THE WASHER/WIPER SWITCH FAILED ON MY 95 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH MOORE PONTIAC BUICK TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. MOORE PONTIAC BUICK SAID THEY ARE NOT OBLIGATED TO REPAIR THE WASHER/WIPER BECAUSE THERE IS NO RECALL FOR IT. I SHOWED THEM THE REPORT FROM NHTSA WEBSITE AND THEY STILL REFUSED TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. I THEN CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER, PONTIAC, WHO REPLIED THAT THERE IS NOT A RECALL FOR THE 95 MODELS. THE RECALL ONLY APPLIES TO THE 97-98 MODELS.
