My wipers work at times, however most of the time I cannot get them to work at all. I have the same year make and model that is included in recall# 03v159000. However, according to my VIN, my truck is not included in this recall. The recall is due to a defect which if present will cause your wipers to do exactly what my wipers are doing. This is obviously the same issue on more VIN's than originally considered. Gm/chevrolet should do the right thing and replace all of these defective wiper motor components. It is too dangerous to be driving in the rain and all of a sudden your wipers stop working for them not to.
