“Wiper motor fail. 2001 suburban 6.0l v8. Wiper motor fail. The wiper motor in my truck always fails. The last time it failed was september 27th 2010 during a heavy rain storm. To make a long story short I almost ran over a pedestrian, and ended up on the sidewalk. (technically that is a crash) the wiper motor just stopped while it was raining. Last year during heavy snow the motor failed again. I had to pull over for an hour until the storm was over. Not to mention numerous other times as well. This motor fails a lot I lost count. …”
