Consumer Description

I JUST BOUGHT THE TRUCK USED AND SOMETIMES THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL WORK AND SOMETIMES THEY WILL NOT COME ON AT ALL. IT DOES THIS WHETHER IT IS STATIONARY, IN MOTION, ON A CITY STREET OR A HIGHWAY, TURNING, BRAKING, HOT OR COLD WEATHER, ETC. IT IS UNSAFE WHEN IT IS RAINING BECAUSE THE WIPERS DO NOT CLEAR THE WINDSHIELD OF RAIN, SNOW, SLEET, WATER FROM OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD PASSING OR AHEAD OF YOU OR SLEET. YOU CANNOT SEE CLEARLY WHERE YOU ARE DRIVING. I WAS TOLD BY A FRIEND THEY HAD A RECALL ON THE 1997 WIPER MOTOR ON HIS S10 TRUCK. THOUGHT THIS MIGHT BE THE SAME PROBLEM. THE TWO OWNERS BEFORE ME HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH IT. I AM NOT SURE WHO THE ORGINAL OWNER IS OR WAS.
