General Motors Company should recall 7.5 million GM trucks, sport utility vehicles and vans of the 1994-1999 model years due to faulty wipers as stated in the lawsuit filed last Monday in the US District Court in Jefferson City. The suit also asserts that GM "demonstrated a conscious disregard for the safety and well-being" of people using those cars.
GM already recalled 1.7 million cars in 2003 due to problems in the windshield wiper circuit board and motor covers. Good thing it did not lead to fatal road accidents. This time, however, more than 11 cases of crashes together with more or less 225,000 warranty claims became the cause of the faulty wipers as shown in federal investigations.
The lawsuit is lead by plaintiffs Timothy and Gloria Owen of Jefferson City Missouri who wanted to make the company responsible for the reimbursement of the cost they spent for the windshield repair of their 1999 Ford SUV. They aired out their concerns to the company but these seemed to fall on deaf ears. They then asked for back-up from other concerned authorities.
Certainly, windshield wipers are of vital importance in the over-all safety of the car’s occupants by keeping the cleanliness and clarity of the windshield. Rain, dirt, dust and other substances and particles can cause visual distortions that can affect the vision of the driver. Windshield wipers must be regularly checked together with the front side marker lights, clear turn signal and head lights. You can have these components from Auto Parts Discount.
