Visibility (wipers, defrost, mirrors): “(1) this complaint relates to the front wiper motor on a 2002 Chevrolet trailblazer. The partial failure occurs when there is light to moderate inclement weather (rain,snow,etc.) and the intermittent setting is used on the front wipers. (2) the wipers on all of the intermittent modes are very weak, and struggle to return to their resting position after the sweep across the windshield. The wipers chatter on the way down from their upward position, creating hazardous visual conditions. The wiper motor is very under powered, and clearly not functioning as it should. …”
