1998: “My windshield wipers work when they feel like it. I have had them looked at several times and to no avail. I have read on this site of the exact same issue with another vehicle same year and model. This is dangerous and should be looked into. Also it happens on another Chevrolet model truck we have. Seems to me it is a repeatative issue.”
