- Visibility › Windshield wiper/washer › Linkages
AFTER CLEANING ICE OFF THE WINDSHIELD & WIPERS. I TURNED ON THE WIPERS & FLUID TO CLEAN MY WINDSHIELD. WHEN I URNED THE WIPERS OFF, THE WIPERS STOPPED IN AN UPRIGHT POSITION ON THE WINDSHIELD. THE WIPERS CONTINUED TO WORK, BUT STOPPED IN THE INCORRECT POSITION. I HAS SINCE SEEN AT LEAST 5 OTHER INTRIGUES IN MY AREA WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. ONE LADY I SPOKE TO, (HERS WAS A 1998), GAVE ME THE SAME SCENARIO AS TO HOW HER WIPERS WERE NOW IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION.*AK

THE INTAKE GASKET HAD TO BE REPLACED AND BECAUSE OF THE GASKET LEAKING I NOW HAVE LIFTERS THAT HAVE TO BE REPLACED. IT COST ME $500 TO REPLACE THE GASKET. I CANNOT AFFORD TO DO ANY MORE REPAIRS. SO I'M NOW PAYING FOR A CAR THAT I CAN'T DRIVE. I THINK GENERAL MOTORS SHOULD PAY TO FIX MY VAN SINCE THEY FAILED TO RECALL KNOWING THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE GASKETS.*AK
