Windshield wipers not working correctly. Then when they do work they come on and go off half way in procession and get stuck.

I have a 1994 chevy 1500 truck that I have found to have the same problems as are involved in a chevy recall but my truck is not included. It has exactly the same problems as the ones involved in your recall. How ever I am required to pay for this fix. I do not believe you vehicles have been looked at closely enough for all with this problem to have been included. Our wiper circuit board is not working just as all the ones that are covered. We are very dissatisfied with service at chevrolet.

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.
