Experienced intermittent front windshield wiper failures, more than once on a busy highway in a downpour.

Windshield wipers work intermittently and then motor went out. Now the windshield wipers are not working at all.
Wipers are intermitent. I know of several vehicles that have this problem. Chevrolet said it is not on recall however, they have recalled some vehicles with the same problem.
Brakes lock in wet weather, causing violent lurch, also brakes fail when coming to a stop on rough surface, resulting in poor steering control and going thru intersection. Wipers intermittent - sometimes they do not come on. Grinding noise in rear-end had this problem since new, dealer checked once then ignored it, they were also notified on the brakes but "could find no problem"!!??!!
Windshield wipers failed on several occasions during rainy conditions, on one incident noise was heard from under the hood,then wipers completely stopped.
When traveling in bad weather conditions and when windshield wipers are needed, windshield wipers become inoperative reducing drivers's visibility. Consumer has contacted dealer, dealer has replaced wiper motor. Recall 98v15000 concerns the same type of problem. However,this vehicle not included in recall due to VIN. Please provide any further details.

The windshield fluid reservoir had been replaced and lines checked, but still is leaking . Happens intermittently, windshield fluid will be seen leaking onto floor after vehicle is stopped and engine is off, flowing not just dripping a 1/4 of reservoir will empty sometimes. Possibly , this is connected to recent recall for "cracked wiring harness connector" which causes wipers to work intermittently. Also recently experienced wipers turning on by themselves one time 1/10/99.
Gm has a recall on these trucks for this problem (98v150000) but they told me that my truck does not fall in the s/n range even though I have the problem
Windshield motor replaced due to problems with windshield wipers not turning on, not turning off and malfunctioning of the intermittent feature. Wiper motor is being replaced under recall, however consumers VIN not included. (98v‑150)
Wiper motor failed causing wiper to stop while in use.
Windshield wiper pulse module assembly failed, recall on component however vehicle denied due to year built.
Intermittently, when using the windshield wipers they would not work or stop working in the middle of operation. Sometimes the windshield wipers would come back on, and sometime they would not. The delay board and module were replaced by the dealer. Suburban not inclued in recall.
When consumer turned on the windshield wipers, they started working then stopped without a reason.
I contacted the dealer on 01-22-99 to evaluate this recurring problem and was informed of a product recall. They checked the VIN, but my vehicle was excluded from the recall. I called gm customer service line, (michelle holden and renee johnson) was informed that this vehicle simply wasn't included in the recall since the recall was limited to specific models. The problem isn't specific models, it is a specific part number. The pulse module (part#12463017) is defective. This defective pulse module should be recalled instead of allowing gm to limit the recall to specific models of vehicles. The technician I spoke with informed me that s-10 models, various pickups as well as suburbans are having the same problem with wipers acting erratic. The current recall is limited to post 1994 models, and I personally know of another vehicle (1993 pickup) that had the same problem. I believe the faulty pulse module should be recalled across the board, which will cover more than those few vehicle models included in the recall. Thank you
Chevrolet customer service told me that many gm trucks and sport utilities built from 1994 through 1996 were recalled due to potential wiper system failure due to cracked solder joints in the wiper system. When I experienced the failure of the system, I promptly took the vehicle to the nearest dealer for repair. I was told, however, that their computer system indicated that my vehicle was not covered by the recall, even though I experienced the same problem that was covered by the recall. I believe a mistake was made in identification of all vins affected by the problem and that my vehicle should have been included. The estimated cost of repair, at my expense, is $102.
