NHTSA Complaint #708090 — 1996 CHEVROLET ASTRO

WINDSHIELD WIPERS INTERMITTENTLY DO NOT WORK. HAS HAPPENED DURING ALL SORTS OF CONDITIONS. WHEN STOPPED, MOVING, ETC.. LAST TIME FAILURE OCCURRED WHEN VEHICLE WAS ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY IN A DRIVING RAINSTORM. WHEN CHEVROLET WAS CONTACTED ON JUNE 30, 1999, THEY STATED THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. IT IS FOR THE PULSE PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD AND THE NUMBER IS 97V043. WHEN THEY CHECKED OUR VIN, I WAS INFORMED IT DID NOT APPLY TO OUR VEHICLE. THIS CONDITION IS POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. SEVERAL OTHER CHEVY ASTRO OWNERS HAVE STATED THEY ALSO HAVE HAD PROBLEMS SIMILIAR TO THIS. *AK
