Our 2001 chevy venture minivan's windshield wipers failed to go back down; remaining up, on the sides of the windshield at about 150,000 miles. I am filing this complaint because I see many other complaints with the same or similar issue. We have not replaced the motor as yet.

The front windshield wipers are not in sync. They are in the up position when turned off. I have replaced the module once and that corrected the problem. However, it did it again. Now I'm told it is a component that will cost $368 to fix. I see many ventures with the same problem.

Tl* - the contact owns a 2001 chevrolet venture van. The defrost does not defrost the front and side windows. The contact stated the rear windows are not experiencing this incident. The contact has to stop the vehicle and manually clean the windows to ensure visibility. Per the mechanic the incident occurred due to a weak compressor. The mechanic installed a new compressor and the failure continued to occur per the contact. The contact feels the incident is a safety risk due to poor visibility while driving the vehicle. The vehicle's current mileage is 99600.

Vehicle windshield wipers operate out of "sync" and jam in the middle of the windshield. This has happened 3 times. The windshield wiper motor module has been replaced once. I have scheduled repairs for 12/8/2005, at the chevrolet dealer where I purchased the vehicle.

It was raining in louisiana and I was driving to pick up my husband from work. Upon leaving his work. We were traveling east on highway 10 to church on a wendesday evening. The windshield wipers hit each other and the passenger side was laying limp on the side. The drivers side was still attempting to work. We had to turn them off and drive the rest of the way to church with no wipers. The passenger side had been bent and we removed the arm so that we could drive the van with just the driver side wiper. It was still under warranty at the time (11000 miles). We brought it to the local dealership in baker, louisiana. They did not have the parts to fix it so they ordered the parts. We waited three weeks for parts. When we finally called back to see if the parts had come in, they told us that they had and they just forgot to call us. We brought the van in and they replaced the wiper arm and they could not get the timing right on the wipers. They found out that they had to replace the transmission for the wipers and set the timing. They have been running fine until about three weeks ago. The just stopped working all together this time. You can hear the motor trying to turn to move the wipers but they are not moving. This repair is at 51000 miles. First time ever that I have had the windshield wipers on any vehicle I have owned go out, much less go out twice. The dealership wants to charge 240 dollars plus tax for repairs. This is ridiculous.

Driver window would not roll up or down. Dealer repaired with new motor. Windows (both) have since gone out twice. Since the warrenty has now expired, my husband replaced the whole window mechanizem and it still gets "stuck" in both positions on both front windows. The motor and switches go out less than a year after they are replaced.
