1998 GMC Yukon visibility complaints

Filed Feb 19, 2004 · Visibility · MT

While driving on the interstate during a wet snow-storm, in heavy traffic that contributed to the slush on our windshield, the windshield wipers quit working. It is only by the grace of god that I was able to cross lanes and reach the side of the road. I turned off my engine and waited for approx. 10 minutes for the wiper motor to cool down. My gmc mechanic told me that there has been a recall on this exact motor but that gmc has not included the 1998 year yukons included. This is the third time my wipers have stopped working - always during long-term driving and during heavy use of the wipers. I have written to gmc about the problem and requested their help. They were not interested in helping me nor were they concerned about the safety of myself, my family and other drivers on the road that are severely at risk with this problem.

The windshield wipers on my 1998 yukon never seem to want to work when it rains. Other times they seem to be ok about 50% of the time, but the failure in the rain is about 75%.

On several occasions my 1998 gmc yukon windshield wipers stopped working. The first time I was on the interstate towing a 23 ft. Boat! I know gm has recalled many vehicles for this problem but they did not include 1998 models! Please make them fix the whole problem before a lot of people die! I almost took out three vehicles before I could get over on the shoulder! I've fixed my yukon already because it was to dangerous to drive but gm is still dropping the ball!
