The vehicle was just recently transfered to my name though I have been the primary driver since the vehicle was purchased in december of 1995. The windshield wipers have failed on numerous occassions. I have had the service station where I trade look at it and unless I want to cover the expense of having the motor replaced they recommended that I "jiggle" the wire to the wiper box. After seeing a newspaper article on this specific problem in this model vehicle I took the article to the dealer and his suggestion was to replace the motor at my expense and hope an official recall is eventually issued at which time I would be reimbursed. This is a danger and it is a persistant and ongoing problem. I fail to see why the responsibility and expense should be mine. I am asking that the federal safety agency further investigate this problem before someone is seriously hurt due to the failure of the wiper system.

Windshield wipers will quit operating unexpectedly during there operation, during extremely heavy rain, loss of driver visibility greatly increases the risk of a vehicle crash. This has ocurred to me on numerous occassions. A recall was initiated by the chevrolet motor division on all light duty pickup trucks & sport utility vehicles, 2 & 4 wheel drive. A solder joint near the wiring harness connector can crack causing the problem. Owner notification began on december 15, 1998. I have notified the chevrolet motor division of the problem & have ben informed by there customer relationship manager larry larson that my vehicle was not subject to the recall & not involved in any special policy for the windshield wiper motors. He stated that this problem could be related to owner maintenance, age or wear. I advised him that a circuit board is not a wear item, & I don't see how a faulty solder joint on a circuit board provided by the manufacturer could be considered a owner maintenance item. As far as I can see this situation this is a definite safety issue & it is ocurring to other vehicles of the make & vintage the same as mine. This is a typical example of a manufacturer hiding defects on motor vehicles that can get you killed.
