Windshield wiper failure by model year
What owners say
Dt*: the contact stated while driving 45 MPH, the windshield wipers functioned intermittently. The vehicle was taken to a private repair shop, who determined that the circuit board for the wiper motor had cracked solder joints. The manufacturer was contacted, who stated that the VIN was not included in the federal safety agency recall #03v159000, which pertained to the windshield wiper/washer.
For the last couple months, my windshield wipers would occassionally stop working while driving nearly causing me to crash. Sometimes, they wouldn't even come on at all and other times they would appear to get stuck and I would hear a loud whirring sound coming from the w/s wiper motor. This has been happening frequently. With winter nearly upon us, the need for my windshield wipers to work properly has increased greatly. While researching prices to repair this, I found that there was a recall on this particular component so I took my vehicle to a chevy dealership and was told that my VIN was not included in the recall. This was particularly upsetting since my vehicle is exhibiting the exact same symptoms described in the recall bulletin. I don't feel I should have to pay to have this repaired when it is already a known defect in my 1994 chevy c1500 pickup. I would like to have my VIN added to the recall so that I can get this repaired as soon as possible.
Dt: windshield wipers do not work correctly, without warning the wipers will stop. A recall was issued, but not on his vehicle was not involved in the recall due to VIN.
1994 chevy c1500 pick up - windshield wipers function on and off or not at all by them selves. You cannot depend on them working at any given time. The dealers said my truck was not part of the federal safety agency recall # 03v159000 even though it has the same problems. The dealership wants up to $400.00 to fix problem. Can this issue please be reviewed for consideration in a recall? Thank you j.l. Meraz

Windshield wipers will quit working. Sometimes they will not even start up. Sometimes I can get out under the hood and hit on the wiper motor and they will start up. They may not stay running though. This occurs in delay and regular modes. This has occurred numerous time since purchasing the vehicle used in june 2002.
