TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 BUICK RAINIER. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE WHEELS SUDDENLY LOCKED WITH THE 'STABILITY CONTROL" WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE WOULD RECUR MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS WHERE THEY STATED THAT A SWITCH OF SOME TYPE THAT WAS UNDER THE DRIVER'S SEAT HAD BECOME DAMAGED.

WINDSHIELD WIPERS STARTED ACTING ERRATICALLY WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN COMPLETELY DRY WEATHER. THE WIPERS WOULD TURN ON AND OFF BY THEMSELVES AND PERIODICALLY ACTIVATE THE WASHER WHICH WOULD SPLASH WATER ALL OVER THE WINDSHIELD CAUSING VISIBILITY ISSUES. WHEN THIS WAS OCCURRING THE ON OFF SWITCH WOULD NOT FUNCTION AND THERE WAS NO WAY TO STOP THE WIPERS FROM COMING ON OR SPRAYING WATER. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AS IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO KNOW WHEN THE WIPERS AND WASHERS WILL TURN ON START SPRAYING WATER AND BLOCK MY VISION OF THE ROAD. I SEARCHED AND FOUND THAT A GM SERVICE BULLETIN WAS ISSUED FOR THE 2006 RAINIER ON YOUR WEBSITE REGARDING A WIPER MOTOR MALFUNCTION. I CALLED GM TO INQUIRE WHAT STEPS THEY WOULD TAKE TO REPAIR THIS EQUIPMENT MALFUNCTION. I WAS TOLD THE SERVICE BULLETIN WAS NOT APPLICABLE TO MY 2007 VEHICLE EVEN THOUGH THE MANUFACTURING DATE LISTED ON MY RAINIER IS AUGUST 2006. THEY SAID THE VIN # WAS TIED TO THE YEAR MODEL 2007 AND THEY COULD NOT AUTHORIZE A REPAIR BASED ON A 2006 LISTING IN THE BULLETIN. I BELIEVE GM INSTALLED ONE OF THE DEFECTIVE WASHER MOTORS IN MY 2007 RAINIER WHEN IT WAS BUILT IN AUGUST 2006 AND I WANT THEM TO COVER THE COST OF THE REPAIR. *TR
