WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED WHILE DRIVING IN RAIN, WITHOUT A SERIOUS PROBLEM. I HAD BROSZ REPAIR LOOK AT THEM AND THE PRINTED CIRCUIT MODULE WAS BAD, SO A NEW REPLACEMENT WAS BOUGHT AND INSTALLED. WHILE VISITING YOUR WEBSITE, I SEE THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS YEAR AND MODEL PICKUPS. I CONTACTED MY DEALER WHO SAYS MY PICKUP WAS NOT RECALLED. I THINK THAT, AS THE FAULTY PART S NOW KNOWN TO BE FAULTY, CHEVROLET SHOULD RE-IMBURSE ME FOR THE PART($53.43), AND THE SMALL LABOR BILL($10).*AK
