Consumer Description

1998 GMC JIMMY, WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOP WORKING IN THE RAIN. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THIS SITUATION HAS HAPPENED BEFORE, THEY STOP WORKING THEN SOMETIMES THEY START UP AGAIN. IT IS SO BAD I DON'T TRUST THE VEHICLE TO DRIVE IT IN THE RAIN. IT IS TERRIFYING TO LOSE THEM IN PARKWAY/TURNPIKE DRIVING OF 65 MPH. THIS DEFECT WILL CAUSE ACCIDENTS. WHY WAS THE RECALL STOPPED IN 1997 & THE PROBLEM NEVER CORRECTED?*AK
