Recall 98v15001, while driving in rainy weather front windshield wiper intermittently failed. Dealership did not repair the problem because the VIN was not included.
Windshield wipers stop working (intermittent problem) or will not stop once started. I received a notice from gmc regarding a safety recall for 1994 pickup trucks, but when I contacted the dealer I was informed that the recall did not apply to my specific VIN number -- even though I was experiencing the problems described in the safety recall. The recall is coverd by gmc technical service bulletin 03023 and refers to problems with solder joints on the windshield wiper control circuit board. I contacted gmc customer service and the fact that the recall applied to my make and model of vehicle but that my specific VIN number was not covered by the recall was confirmed. This is an obvious safety issue and the recall should cover all vehicles affected by the identified defect.
While driving in inclement weather, the windshield wipers stopped, but the motor continued. Consumer was informed by the mechanic that this vehicle was not on recall for this problem. *ak

Have had recurring problems with windshield wipers/washer fluid not working during critical times of need (I.e. Torrential down pours, snow, etc.). Finally found that 1994 gmc trucks were recalled because of faulty workmanship in the wiper motor, but my truck was manufactured 20,000 models too soon. This defect almost caused me to have a severe accident during a recent storm. Now, we have a hurricane coming and can't even get a dealer to look at the problem........aggravating!

Wiper motor failure- intermittant failure
While traveling on the highway and without prior warning windshield wipers will come on and off intermittently.
Windshield either fails to operate or will stop while turned on. This happened while I was passing a semi in a light rain. I was able to slow down & get over to the side of the road until the rain stopped. *ak this should have been covered in the federal safety agency recall no. 03v151/gm recall no. 03025. My vehicle was built in dec. Of 1993, so hasn't been included. I do not feel safe using the vehicle if there is a chance of rain due to what has happened. The first time it occurred in 1991 & at first was so intermittent that I didn't know what was causing it. Finally I determined that it must be what the recall was for. Please get the dates changed to include all 1994 gmc sierra 2wd pickups.
