NHTSA Complaint #705392 — 1995 CHEVROLET ASTRO

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON MY VAN FAIL TO OPERATE ABOUT 50% OF THE TIME. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE ASTRO AND THAT IT WAS RECALLED IN VANS WITH CERTAIN VIN NUMBERS. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY MY WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. I NEVER KNOW WHEN MY WIPERS WILL WORK OR NOT, WHICH IS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING. MANY TIMES I'VE HAD TO REMAIN IN MY VAN UNTIL THE RAIN STOPPED BEFORE I COULD DRIVE HOME. NOW, MY VEHICLE IS DUE FOR INSPECTION, AND BECAUSE OF MY DEFECTIVE WIPERS, I AM NOT ABLE TO PASS INSPECTION. I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF YOU WOULD LOOK INTO THIS MATTER. I WILL HAVE TO SPEND AN OUTRAGEOUS AMOUNT OF MONEY TO REPLACE A DEFECTIVE WIPER MOTOR WHICH SHOULD BE REPLACED BY THE CHEVROLET COMPANY. THANK YOU. *AK
