“When I turn on the switch for the windshield wipers they will not operate every time. A friend of mine had the same problem, general motors repaired his wiper motor under the recall, they told me my vehicle was not included in the recall even though I am experencing the same problem.”

NHTSA complaint #700045, filed 1998-10

“This is a known problem and a recall has been made (mfg. Campaign # 98043) my vehicle's VIN # does not fall under this particular recall but has identical problem and vehicle description on this recall is an identical match to my vehicle. (95 chevy p/u 4wd) I contacted Chevrolet and because my VIN # did not match current recall, they would not help me. I feel this is a known problem and certain vehicles were left out of the recall that should have been included. Any assistance would be appreciated....thank you.”

NHTSA complaint #723025, filed 2000-05

“Wiper quit several times-had to jiggle wipers to get them going again-I had to drive with head out window to see-dealer said common problem but no recalls for my pickup”

NHTSA complaint #715259, filed 1999-11

“When driving the wipers will quit working. The cause of failure is the wiper control module. This happened to me. A mechanic told me there was a recall on this component, when I checked with the local dealer they stated that my vehicle was not part of the recall. I had to purchase module to repair myself. Driving was impared at failure because it was raining and it was possible to restart wipers by getting out of the vehicle and moving the wipers. But the next failure of wipers might happen only a couple of miles down the road.”

NHTSA complaint #713018, filed 1999-10

“Intermittently windshield wipers quit working in middle of operation. Sometimes if turning the vehicle off and wait operation continues. Sometimes consumer has to tap on black box on the firewall for operation to continue. Problem has been reported to dealership/manufacturer. Truck was not included in recall due to VIN. Problem has not been corrected.”
