Consumer Description

WINDSHIELD WIPER FAILURE: I WAS DRIVING 70 MPH WEST ON I-10 WHEN IT STARTED RAINING. I TURNED THE WIPERS ON, AND THE WIPERS WORKED FOR APPROXIMATELY ONE MILE BEFORE THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING. I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WAITED FOR THE RAIN TO STOP. I'VE TALK TO OTHER OWNERS OF S-10, SUBURBAN, AND SILVERADO'S WHICH HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I'VE CHECKED A COUPLE OF WEB SITES CONCERNING AUTO COMPLAINTS, AND THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS CONCERNING THE SAME PROBLEM. WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL ON CHEVY'S WINDSHIELD WIPERS!!!!!!!!!! HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE YOU GET OFF YOUR BUTT AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT. LIKE DO YOUR JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*JB
