Windshield wiper failure by model year
What owners say
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.
While driving, windshield wipers will work intermittently. Dealer notified.*akconsumer researched and found several recalls pertaining to the same failure. Teh dealer will not acknowledge.
While driving windshield wipers stopped working without any warning.
Windshield wipers fail to work consistently...will turn on but continue till they decide to stop on their own...washer pump engages intermittently.
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.
Windshield wipers work intermittently. Dealer/manufacturer notified, and informed consumer that vehicle was not covered under a recall. Feel free to provide any further information concerning this matter.
Windshield wipers only work intermittently.
Winshield wipers would stop at any time causing the drivers view to be obstructed. I contacted my dealer after reading your the federal safety agency campaign # 98v150001. They checked with gmc and said this did not apply to my vehicle. I am a master service technition (briggs and stratton) and I electronics are a hobby of mine. I removed the circut board and discovered the solder for 3 of the lugs was cracked. I resoldered the lugs and have had no other problems since. I beleve this problem to be a serious safety cocern and beleve gm should recall these vehicles also.
Intermittent problem with windshield wiper failure. Alldata web site shows sept. 1998 safety recall for this problem for my truck -- #98043 -- but the federal safety agency has no record of this. Called gm and they said there is no such recall, but I have heard from several other chevrolet and gmc truck owners with same problem with wipers. This is a safety issue.
Windshield wiper works intermittently when it is geared at low pace. Same make and year of vehicles were recalled for windshield wiper controller board which shut windshield wipers off. Manufacturer advised consumer thatvehicle was not a part of recall due to VIN.
Windshield wipers and horn work intermittently. Saftey issue when the wipers won't work in inclement weather, and horn won't when needed. Also cruise control works intermittently. All three have wires going through the steering column, possibly linking the three into one bigger problem.
