1997 Chevrolet C Series Visibility (wipers, defrost, mirrors) Problems

“Windshield wipers stop working when they want to. This has been happening for approx. 7 years. There was a recall on the 1996 model but GM would not cover my 1997 model, said if I pay to replace circuit board and send to them they may or may not pay but was not included in recall although is just as hazardous as year earlier model. This is a very serious situation as wipers will just stop in any position at will then next time I turn them on they may work or not.”

“Intermittently the windshield wipers malfunctioned, causing poor visibility while driving in rainy or snowy weather. Dealer had not been contacted, and the cause of the failure had not yet been determined.”

“Front seat belts intermittently unlocked from the belt buckle. Also, front windshield wipers failed intermittently. Dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problems.”

“Fuel injection system was repaired by the dealer after the vehicle lost pressure. Currently, windshield wipers work intermittently. The transmission was slipping because the motor was not functioning properly, the fuel injectors were the main cause for all of there parts to malfunction and break down, the ABS brakes were activating on dry pavement at slower speeds, the steering wheel off center and vehicle pulled to the left and would intermittently clunk and found loose pitman arm, the vehicle would skip and shake, and the catalytic converter gave insufficient efficiency. …”

“Windshield wipers will quit working for no reason, turning them off and on, wiggling the switch, and other attempts to make them work again fail, except for manually pulling on the wipers or hitting a bump in the road.”
