Windshield wipers quit. They worked intermittently. Consumer asked dealer if this vehicle was covered under recall 98v150001. Dealer stated that recall was for 1996 and up eventhough this vehicle had same problem as mentioned in recall. Please add VIN.
Windshield wipers work intermittently. It never happens with any warning, windshield wipers will just shut off.
Service bulletin number 98043, bulletin sequence number 150 discribes the problem exactly. The federal safety agency campaign id number 98v150001 covers vehicle made from aug 1994 to may 1996. Our vehicle according to the information on the door panel was made in april of 1994. We have another voq submitted on our other vechile as well concerning the same problem. That odi number os 751305.
The windshield wipers fails suddenly and repeatdly.
I have spoken with chevrolet and they do acknowledge this as a problem on some suburban's but my VIN does not qualify for this fix. I believe these symptoms are the same as the recall that was issued in 1998'. Campain #98043.
Windshield wipers stopped working at anything, and will not come back on. Yet the windshield motor was running.mechanic told consumer that this happened to other suburbans.
Windshield wipers work great, as long as it is not raining. During hard braking brakes fade to floor, I had the brakes checked no problem found. Problem only occurres during hard braking. (emergency situations).
Recall 98 v 150 001/windshield wiper wiring: windshield wipers to work intermittently, resulting in inoperative wipers, and reducing driver's visibility and increasing risk of a vehicle crash. Dealer / manufacturer were notified, and informed consumer that vehicle was not covered under recall due to VIN. Feel free to provide us with any further information concerning this matter.
Windshield wipers operate intermittently. When there is inclement weather windshield wipers fail to operate when they're needed the most. Dealership has examined vehicle and could not reproduce problem. Also, dealer and manufacturer have informed consumer that this vehicle was not included in recall 98v150001.
Windshield wipers only work intermittently. There is a recall, but this vehicle not affected due to VIN. *ak consumer states when a failure occurs, he can raise the hood and tap on the wiper box, and then the wipers will re-start, consumer states this failure has happened on numerous occasions, even almost causing an accident.
While using windshield wipers they would quit without a warning, just like mentioned in recall 98 v 150 001. However, this this vehicle was not included in recall due to VIN. *ak dealer replaced circuit board.
Windsheild wipers quit working in the middle of operation. Truck not included in recall campaign 98v150001.
The windshield wipers work intermittently. The wiper moter can be heard trying to engage the wipers, but fails to do so. If the car is dry prior to rain, the wipers sometimes will work. If the car is out and is wet, the wipers will not work. The wipers will sometimes fail once in use. I have contacted chevrolet, to which they said they can't include the car in the recall although it seems to be the same problem. Obviously, this is a safety hazard and should be considered in the recall. We took delivery of the car on april 29, 1994.
Windshield wipers work intermittently during rain. Technician stated that motor needed to be replaced. *ak wiper motor works sometimes and sometimes won't turn off, it has been replaced before for the same problem.
I found on the federal safety agency web site that a recall was instituted for the winshield wiper module for 1994 suburban's. I wasn't notified of the recall even though I a module failure as described and I have a 1994 suburban. I called chevrolet and they said that my VIN number was not within the specified period and I could not be reimbursed for replacing the module. Is this correct?
Intermittent windshield wiper problem. There is a recall for this make/model, but this vehicle is not covered due to VIN.
While raining windshield wipers sometimes go out for a period of time by themselves, and sometimes they don't. There is a recall 98v150001, but this vehicle was not included in recall due to VIN. *ak the dealer state that the vehicle VIN does not indicate the defective units. However, the problem presents the identical symptoms as the vehicles in the recall.
The windshield wipers began to work intermittently, usually not at all (during rain, go figure). If the switch was turned on and you pulled on the arm of the wiper, they would sometimes begin to function. I learned of a recall for this problem: visual systems:windshield wiper and washer the federal safety agency campaign id number: 98v15000, campaign #: 98043. I took the vehicle to the listed dealer for the defect of a bad circuit board to be corrected. I was told that the problem that they found with the wipers, the same problem as the recall, would not be covered under the recall. This was on 1-3-01, and I had to pay $ 95.67 for the repair, which should have been covered as dictated by the recall. Thank you in advance. John jacob
Windshield wiper delay circuit board failed. This vehicle was made on jan 12, 1994, therefore it was not subject to the recall campaign #98v150001, and the dealer refused to repair the board as part of the recall. I replaced the board myself. The old part is available for inspection by an the federal safety agency-appointed engineer, if you desire. Since it is obvious that this condition exists for more than the limited dates mentioned in the recall, it is imperative that you expand the campaign to include all affected vehicles. You have the ability to save lives. Please do not take it lightly. This is obviously a bigger problem than you originally thought - see the following complaints - odi #s: 735172 734175 864283 862133 844514 711482 839471 838820 838386 848120 707007 843175 838540 707212 830912 841155 543656 830459 707179 713640 479355 516020.
The federal safety agency campaign id #98v150001 covers this failure for suburban's manufactured shortly after my suburban was manufactured. The component that failed is the same as the one described in #98v150001. This situation nearly caused an accident and should be corrected by the manufacturer regardless of the date of manufacturer. It is a saftey hazzard that could lead to loss of life.
Recall 98v150 000/windshieled wiper wiring: windshieled wipers work intermittently, can result in inoperative wipers, reducing driver's visibility and increasing risk of vehicle crash. Manufacturer notified, and informed consumer that vehicle was not cover under recall due to VIN. Please feel free to provide any further details.
This should have been covered on the federal safety agency recall campaign 98v150001, but the car was manufactured in 1993, before the effective date of the recall. The symptoms of my complaint are exactly as stated in this recall.
When driving vehicle windshield wipers work intermittently. Dealership is aware of problem.
Intermittently windshield wipers became inoperable. A recall has been issued on vehicle make and model; however, this vehicle was not included due to VIN. Manufacturer has been notified.
The 1994 suburbans had a recall #98v150000 for the problem of the wiper motor module becoming inoperable. I took mine in for the repair as my wipers were not working and was told that the VIN# for my vehicle was outside the covered range, so I would have to pay the $86.96 to repair it. Obviously, the VIN range should be expanded as the problem is effecting other vehicles.
My vehicle is subject to the federal safety agency campaign 98v150001 and/or 98v150000. Chevrolet is maintaining that my vehicle has already been fixed, although that is not the case. While this may be a rare snafu, it may be part of a pattern of conduct. Interestingly, chevrolet has said that if I can produce the records that demonstrate that the work has already been done, they will do the work again. (since the work has never been done, I obviously cannot meet this requirement.) from chevrolet's perspective, I can have the work done twice if I have a record of it having been done once, but I cannot have it done at all if they have a record that it was done previously, but I have no such record. Do they think they can win with this logic? Does the federal safety agency monitor the implementation of these recalls? Do you know that this is gm's policy?
Windshield wipers will fail intermittently during operation, causing poor to no visibility. Same defect as mentined in recall 98v150001. But, manufacturer claimed this vehicle was not included in recall due to VIN.
Windshield go out when turning on thumps to dash, a giggle to the wiper will restart them
Intermittant operation of windshield wipers/recall started in 1994/having same problem but my vehicle was not in recall.
