Windshield wipers failed many times to start or stop. I have had to solder again the main board a number of times. Gm said it was not one of the recall units yet it has the same symtoms.

Shortly after purchasing this vehicle (second owner) I noticed a glitch in the windshield wiper operation, notably a sudden cease in operation, whether or not the intermittent system was activated. This occurred usually after 20 or more minutes of driving, which results in some fairly dangerous vehicle operation in inclement weather.

My 1994 chevrolet s-10 pickup is not included in recall #98v150001. I think it should be. I am having the exact same problems with my windshield wipers. They intermittently do not work. Sometimes they stop working as I'm driving. I believe this issue started with the new body style for s-10 pickups, which is what I have. Should my vehicle be included?

I bought a used 1994 s-10. I found out the wipers don't work or quit working after a few minutes of rain or when it is really humid outside the don't work either, so I loose control of vehicle, because I try to pull over but cant see where to pull over, example trees signs curves. I understand that a lot of other vehicles where involved in the wiper recall, and would like to know why they are telling me that mine does not qualify due to the VIN #. Regardless the wipers are the problem that they did the recall on. Please help and give me some advice on what to do next. Dealership or gm dod not want to take care of the problem and that is a dangerous situation.

Windshield wipers would randomly slow, stop or not work. Left turn signal would turn off after turn is complete(not sure if they're related). Had motor and module replaced in 2000 for $650 and now having same problem. Recall issued for some '1994's but not for my vehicle, yet it's the same problem that the recall covers on similar vehicles. Chevrolet not assuming responsibility. This should be a recall!
