Consumer Description

I HAVE A 1998 CHEVROLET S10 PICK-UP THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR PERIODICALLY STOPS. THIS CAN OCCUR AT ANY TIME WHEN THE WIPERS ARE ON. I KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL BY CHEVROLET ON OTHER MODELS RELATED TO THIS FAILURE. THE WIPER MOTOR COMPONENTS USED IN THE S-10 SERIES RESEMBLE THE SAME AS WHAT WAS USED IN OTHER MODELS THAT WERE UNDER THE RECALL NOTIFICATION. COULD THESE BE RELATED? HOW CAN I FIND OUT IF OTHER OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS? THE LAST DATE OF THE FAILURE WAS 3/1/04. THIS SUDDEN STOPPAGE OF THE WIPER MOTOR COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE ACCIDENTS BY OBSCURING THE VISION OF THE DRIVER. *AK
