Consumer Description

I HAVE A 1998 CHEVROLET S-10 PICKUP AND IT HAS A RECURRING FAULT WITH THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR. AT VARIOUS INTERVALS, WITH NO WARNING, THE WINDSHIELD WIPER WILL FAIL TO OPERATE. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES, OFTEN DURING RAIN AND CAUSES ME TO PULL OVER TO EITHER WAIT OUT THE RAIN OR FOR THE MOTOR TO UNEXPECTEDLY RESTART. IN MY RESEARCH, I HAVE FOUND THAT 1995-1997 CHEVROLET S-10 PICKUPS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND WERE RECALLED. IT WAS A WIPER MOTOR CIRCUIT BOARD PROBLEM WHICH LEAD TO THE RECALLS. I FEEL THE 1998 PICKUPS SHOULD BE RECALLED AS IT SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH OTHERS ON THE MYCARSTATS.COM MESSAGE BOARD. *TR
