Consumer Description

WIPERS STOPPED DURING THUNDERSTORM ON INTERSTATE! THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES! THEY WORK INTERMITTENTLY. BUT YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN. MECHANIC SAYS THIS IS COMMON IN THIS TRUCK. PARTS AND LABOR AROUND 200.00 . I SEE A POTENTIALLY FATAL SITUATION THAT WILL HAPPEN OR PERHAPS ALREADY HAS. WHY IS CHEVROLET IGNORING THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT COULD RESULT IN DEATH? *NM
