June 1999

Windshield wiper module failure, approximately in early 2006 on 1000k trip. Parts purchased module n12463 part number 12463090 from dealer in edmonton at cost of $64.87 including gst.. Returned home 1000k as dealer too busy too fix, and paid $36.00 labor to have installed. Total cost for module and labor: $100.87. My request is for GM to pay this $100.87 as this should have been covered under a recall notice at any time in the life of these vehicles.

Reported at 171,000 miles, July 2006
