Recalls 99v193000/ ABS and 98v150001/ windshield wiper motor wiring. Dealer said recall repairs won't fix the problems. Also, dealer reported to manufacturer that the recalls were serviced, although they were not.
The wiper on this truck stop working at various times when the truck is being driven. This presents a safety hazard since you can not see the road when they do stop. They do return to working condition but it may be 2 minutes later ao an hour later. I had a 1995 s10 pickup truck with the same problem and that was recalled and the defective module replaced. It appears that gm has the same problem with this vehicle but no recall has been issued. Seems to me that gm should be recalling this one also as it is clear they had a defective board in all these cars
