Windshield wiper failure by model year
What owners say
While using windshield wipers and without any indication wipers would stop working intermittently.
There is a problem with the windshield wipers not coming on when turned on. Recall was for later year models, but this year model has the same problem. Why should I have to pay for a defect when someone who bought their vehicle a few months later with the same problem does not?
Windshield wiper motor failure. Wipers will suddenly quit working during operation. ** incident date listed below indicates approximately date of onset. This problem has been ongoing since this date (time we took ownership of vehicle).

Whenever riding in the rain windshield wipers just stop working. There are times when turning on windshield wipers one hears a humming noise , like they want to move, but they won't move.
Windshield wiper system does not work properly/works intermittently. Nlm
While driving front power seat fell off the base. Metal piece that supports the frame broke. This caused a hazard for the driver. Did not lose control of vehicle. The seat frame was vulcanized. Bolt was still holding seat, which was welded & cracked. Took vehicle to dealer & was informed that vehicle was out of warranty. Owner jeri-rigged seat to work. Will not last long. Also, windshield wipers circuit board was replaced. They stopped working while driving in the rain, causing the driver to have poor visibility.
Windshield wipers intermittently become inoperable in rainy weather conditions. Please give any further details.
This suburban has problems with the windshield wipers running for a while then simply stoping for a few minutes, then running again. I am told by gmc this is a known problem but is not covered by a warranty. The wiper pulse module I am told is the defective component in these cases. The transmission slips and occationally leaves a puddle under it if it has been driven for a while. The guages are random in thier readings for oil pressure, temp, and amperes.... The fuel seems to be accurate. Other problems are not as obvious but annoying none the less
The windshield wipers work intermittently. Has been this way since 2 weeks after purchasing the vehicle, new. Dealer has not seen.
Windsheild wipers work intermittently just as the recall for the 1994-1996 gmc trucks indicates, but this vehicle is not included in the recall. Dealer has been contacted. Replacement part resolved problem.
