The federal safety agency#98-v-150-001:vehicle description: light duty pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles, 2 and 4-wheel drive. Shoulder joints near the wiring harness connector can crack causing the windshield wipers to work intermittently. Consumer states intermittently windshield wipers become inoperable obstructing the drivers view. This vehicle is not include due to the VIN# dealer notified. Ts
Consumer states when it rains their windshield wipes intermittenly, and only when the engine is cold. This prevents them from clearly seeing the road when it is raining.
I contacted general motors when I found out they had a recall on the windshield wiper failure. They told me my vehicle was not on the recall even though it fits the recall criteria. They want me to pay for a diagnosis before they will offer 10% off for replacement parts and labor. The little man doesn't stand a chance without the help of orginazations like yourself. Thanks for being here. Gene seelig.
Windshield wipers work intermmitently. Mostly raining or wet conditions. Going on two years now. I see this relates to recall 98v150. However, the gmc dealer used my VIN number and did not find recall applicable to this. Why not? I know of many others and even the dealer said he gets at least one a day for this problem. He is charging $149 to replace the wiper circuit. Others have gotten this covered under recall. Can I get gmc to cover this?
Windshield wipers failed in heavy rain on freeway at 70 MPH. Very scarry. Tapping wiper motor or pulling on wiper arm restored function (unsure which worked). Becker in spokane says my truck is not covered by recall due to wrong VIN. $83 to get new pulse board installed and it seems only dealers carry the part.
While driving windshield wipers stopped working. Contacted dealer, and dealer refused to do anything.
The federal safety agency # 98v150001, covers my vehicle and the manufacturer said my vehicle is not covered according to my VIN. I was never notified of a recall but the windshield wipers only work when they want to with no prior warning. We replaced the motor at our own expense.
I also have a 1996 gmc yukon VIN #[xxx] no safety defect mentioned. *ak information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Gm recall #98043 windshield wiper failure due to corrosion/faulty solder joints on circuit boards.

I will be driving along on the freeway and it will start raining real hard and suddenly the windshield wipers won't come on.. I have to pull over as soon as possible, because visibility is nil..in the beginning of this problem I could get them started again by trying the wiper switch , off and on many times..I now remove the fuse, clean it, and replace it. They work again for awhile..until the next time it happens. Seems to be getting progressively worse with time. I need to get this fixed as soon as possible, since I drive 60 miles round trip , daily..I live in a very rainy state.. I knew nothing about this recall in 1998 or 1999, since I bought the vehicle used.
98 v 150 001/windshield wiper wiring: windshield wipers work intermittently. When this occurs, the driver has to get out of vehicle to pull on windshield wiper arm to get it to operate. Dealer/manufacturer were notified, and informed consumer that vehicle was not covered under recall due to VIN. *ak
Windshield wipers would quite intermitently sometime not coming back on at all. Reported problem on several occasions spoke with manufacturer and dealership. Was told that this vehicle is not included in recall even though same problem. The last time contacted gm they advised that it had been added so made appointment with dealership and took day off to get fixed and then was advised that it wasn't after all. Spoke to gm again was advised that they made a mistake and more or less to get over it and just pay to get it fixed. This vehicle was not made in the factory where the defective parts were identified and the mileage on the vehicle would make it invalid anyway. In addition the a piece of the frame on the divers seat has broken causing the seat to rock. Have also been advised that I was on my own in fixing this one (estimate $500 from dealership).
According to the federal safety agency campaign id number: -98v150001 and gm tsb number 98043 there is a recall for my vehicles model year to replace windshield wiper control module because of defective solder joints. My truck has this failure, but gmc refuses to repair it because my vehicles VIN is not covered in their recall. According to the federal safety agency the recall could affect as many as 1.5 million vehicles, but I've found reports that say gm only repaired about 70,000. I also read that this matter is already under investigation, but that report was 6 months old. Is there a current investigation? Can you offer any additional information?

The federal safety agency campaign id no. 98v150001 (mfg. Campaign no. 98043) gives relief to gm sierra owners who have had windshield wiper failure but is limited to gm sierra's manufactured in certain plants. Unfortunately I have had the identical failure yet my vehicle was manufactured in a plant not included in the recall. I feel like the materials used in my vehicle are identical to the others and yet can get no relief for this poor and dangerous workmanship. Please let me know if all gm sierras are to be included under this campaign (and mine is omitted in error) or if gmc is correct in telling me I am just "out of luck". Sincerely, [xxx] ([xxx]). *ak parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
