TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HUMMER H2 SUT. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED WIPER FLUID RELEASING ON ITS OWN. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE WIPER MOTOR CONTROL MODULE WAS RETAINING MOISTURE AND CAUSED THE MOTOR TO FAIL. THE DEALER ESTIMATED THE REPAIR COST AT $500 BECAUSE THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 08V456000 (VISIBILITY: WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER: MOTOR). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 76,000.
