Windshield wipers will work intermittantly. Never know if they are going to come on. Have made driving impossible at times. Have had to pull over and wait for conditions to improve befroe proceeding. This has been an ongoing problem for over 10 months. I understand there is a recall for this problem, but my vehicle is not listed under the recall notice. When I discussed it with my dealer they told me that the same board is being replaced in other types of vehicles, but they have not been authorized to change them out in my vehicle. If it is to be fixed, I will have to pay for it when other do not for the same part.

This item is a recall but when dealer corrected it I was charged because of vehicle not being the correct vehicle number. The mechanic informed me that it was the same part that was being replaced in the recall. It seems that maybe you should put the recall on the part not the vehicle number. When this item fails, it creates extremely dangerous condition, of not being able to see out the front windshield during a rain storm. This fix cost me $74.00 which the dealer or chevy could not tell me why I was paying other than they didn't have to because you folks did not include my vehicle # in the recall. I still had the same dangerous condition which put my family in jeopardy numerous times.
