Description of the problem | Windshield wipers stopped working, cannot drive in the rain. Received a letter about a recall. (campaign id 16v582) called gmc's home office as well as two dealerships and am being told because there is no remedy for the problem yet, i have to pay out of pocket for the repairs to be done and then wait to be reimbursed by the dealer when the recall has been remedied, which one dealer said could take years. I am a single guy living on my own and my income is very tight from month to month, and i don't feel that i should have to pay for this repair due to faulty craftsmanship by gmc. Also, i'm being lied to by these dealers for the repair cost. The gmc rep told me that a temporary fix would cost $70-$140, every dealer is quoting me $400+ and i simply cannot afford that, i feel that this is absurd and needs to be repaired with no cost out of my pocket. |
