What owners say
Windshield wipers sometimes will not turn on, the consumer taps on the windshield wiper motor and this will get it working for a while.
Due to windshield wiper motor failure wipers cut of during rain storms or light drizzle. Yh
Wipers do not come on when car is hot, only when car has just been started, and not all the time then. They will stop at random and very seldom work at all. Neighbor also with 1992 suburban has same problem.
Windshield wipers turn on and off intermittently, causing loss of visibility. The vehicle is not included under recall due to VIN.
While engine cold wipers work. When hot, wipers simply stop and will not restart until engine cold. Last time was in heavy traffic in heavy rain on interstate. Accident avoided by getting off road quickly. Am told recall exists but cannot find same. Thank you
