2002 GMC Envoy: windshield wiper failure

Filed Apr 10, 2016 · Visibility · 128,000 miles · VT

I recently purchased my envoy and the wipers worked most of the way home, the passenger side stopped working . Then the driver side would not go down when shut off. Now when I turn them on they hop up and go right back down and do not work.

When using the wipers, they will wipe ok for a couple of swipes and then get stuck and shimmy down the windshield. Sometimes they just stick in place. It doesn't matter what speed we go or if we are stopped.

The airbag light is on. Sometimes it will go off, but the light is on most of the time on the instrument panel. I spoke to the service department at our local dealer and they did not care and said we would have to bring it in another time to hook it up to their big machine. I want this issue resolved. I have had this vehicle serviced for recalls (wiper motor & cluster gauges). My wife drives this vehicle and I would like to make sure it is safe for her to continue driving it with this light on and no danger of the airbag deploying.

While waiting to proceed in traffic with foot on brake and car in drive, engine suddenly stalled out and was unable to be restarted. Also, driverside mirror keeps resetting when unlocking the automatic doors. Wipers don't function properly when in intermittent mode. Car is at dealer now, hopefully they can resolve this. *ak vehicle is equipped with rainsense automatic rain sensing wipers. Rainsense works only when in intermittent mode. Settings adjust sensitivity of wipers but not frequency. Wiper fails to make a complete smooth pass across windshield. They stop several times during their sweep and stutter. After a few second pause they resume their sweep. Wipers work fine when set to standard high or low wiper settings.

First, rainsense windshield wiper equipped vehicle has windshield wipers stop and stutter at least three times on each forward and back cycle when in intermittent mode. Wipers now delay up to 30 seconds at top of cycle (straight up on windshield) and are getting progressively worse. Nearly caused a collision with vehicle in front. Dealer attempted to replace "pulse relay" which did not work and then tech stated they operate normally and customer does not understand function of rainsense feature despite owning vehicle for 2 years without prior issue. Second, right passenger outside mirror randomly changes setting creating a safety hazard during maneuvering of vehicle. Dealer states there is no problem despite fixing at least 5 times prior. Please note prior 19 complaints with the federal safety agency online out of 200 listed. This would seem to require a recall.
