#1, I spent $1,164.73 to have my anti-lock brakes repaired at a dealer. I found a safety recall of 1.4 million reports of brake failure, with kelsy-have parts ("kcb4"and "ebc4"units).why if I had to spend over $ $1,100 to have my truck repaired was I not notified"???? #2 my emergency flashers button is jammed and the dealer wants $485 to repair. I had the windshield wiper repaired. Why is my emergency equipment failing? and there is no recall notice!!!! #3 my emergency brake cable and handle-both broke. How much is a dealer going to rip me off to repair. #4 I had to repair the cold solder joints on my hot/cold switch so my A/C would run cold. Once again the dealer wanted to replace the whole unit-"rip me off!!" #5 why after almost 100 years cant a car maker build their cars better rather than causing the consumer to keep the parts/service industry booming. If my old man wasn't shot by a ?!@#$% fighter plane I would buy from the "!@#$%, but I have no choice but to buy american (because I am one)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #6 one last thing when I had my fuel injectors "cleaned" the F/N dealer just pumped almost 60 lbs of air in my tires.(some cleaning)"????"

Windshield wipers work intermmitently. Mostly raining or wet conditions. Going on two years now. I see this relates to recall 98V150. However, the GMC dealer used my VIN number and did not find recall applicable to this. Why not" I know of many others and even the dealer said he gets at least one a day for this problem. He is charging $149 to replace the wiper circuit. Others have gotten this covered under recall. Can I get GMC to cover this"

Intermittent wiper and washer operation - same as other complaints - dealer and GMC both state vehicle not included in recall (NHTSA 98V15001, and mfg.#98043) based on VIN number. There are obviously many failures not included in recall- what does it take to get GM to include this VIN in the recall??
