NHTSA Complaint #703856 — 1993 CHEVROLET K2500

WHILE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ARE ACTIVATED, THEY WILL STOP AFTER APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES OF OPERATION. IT IS NECESSARY TO STOP THE VEH., GET OUT AND MANUALLY MOVE THE WIPER ARM TO GET THE WIPERS TO MOVE AGAIN. THIS IS DANGEROUS WHEN IT IS RAINING BECAUSE THE DRIVER IS UNABLE TO SEE OUT OF THE WINDSHIED DUE TO THE ACCUMULITIVE RAIN WATER ON THE WINDSHIELD. WHEN IT WAS REPORTED TO DEALER, THEY ADVISED THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF THE PROPLEM AND THAT IT HAD TO DO WITH THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR SWITCH. THEY ADVISED THAT IT WOULD COST $60. FOR THE UNIT PLUS INSTALLATION. THEY REPORTED THAT OTHER OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT THERE WAS NO RECALL BY THE MANUFACTURER. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES SINCE THIS OCCASION TO ASCERTAIN IF THERE IS A RECALL BUT EACH TIME I'M ADVISED THAT NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED.
