My windshield wipers just stopped while I was driving at 50mph! I was very scared. Please check in to this as I have found out that others have been reporting this very same problem. This should not have been neglected so long. Thank you for your help.

One time windshield wipers will work fine, the next time they will not. They have stopped while driving. This causes a severe safety hazard. Gm dealerships say this problem is not covered under recall bulletin # 98043. I do not believe this. I think the dealers are trying to sell a fix that is the manufactures responsibility. Gm would not subject their customers to a safety hazard and be subject to the libility.
