My winshield wipers stop working and then start working again without warning. This is the same problem that the federal safety agency had found and issued a recall for for a truck that is 1 yr younger than mine. Gmc says its not their problem.

Windshield wipers stop working at random. I had this problem repaired (circuit board solder/connection failure) at my own expense. This is the same problem covered by two (1998 and apr 03) recalls, but this truck is not included in the recall for some reason, despite being the same design as the 95-on model that is covered.

Over the past four years I have had problems with my windshield wipers stopping or locking up intermittently while in use. I've had my mechanic check this problem several times, but he could not duplicate the failure as it is a intermittent problem. I heard about a gm recall concerning this issue. I notified gm and they said that my vehicle 1994 gmc sonoma VIN [xxx] was not included in the recall. I believe that this is the same problem as the one covered by the recall. *nlm information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
