Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Windshield wipers fail continually when in operation. If I wiggle the wiring where it plugs into wiper motor assembly they might work for a moment. This vehicle exhibits the same problems as all vehicles listed in recall #03v159000 , but Chevrolet refuses to accept it for repair.”
NHTSA complaint #10167459, filed 2006-09, 140,000 miles“The contact stated the windshield wipers worked intermittently. The problem started gradually and has progressed to total failure. The wipers failed in the up position; however the wipers are not blocking the view of the driver. There is a NHTSA recall, 03v159000, regarding the windshield wiper/washer. The VIN was not included in the recall.”
