NHTSA Complaint #715694 — 1995 CHEVROLET C1500

FOR THE PAST YEAR THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS HAVE OCCASIONALLY FAILED TO OPERATE WHEN NEEDED. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PLAY WITH THE SWITCH OR TAP THE MODULE COVER TO MAKE THEM OPERATE. THIS HAPPENED ONLY A FEW TIMES UNTIL RECENTLY WHEN THEY BEGAN TO FAIL ON A REGULAR BASIS. I WAS INFORMED BY A FRIEND WHO OWNS A SIMILAR TRUCK THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE WIPER CONTROL MODULE FOR CERTAIN '94-'96 MODEL CHEVROLET TRUCKS. HOWEVER, MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. I HAD REPAIRS MADE AT CENTURY CHEVROLET, BLOOMINGTON, IL. WHICH WERE THE SAME AS THOSE DONE FOR THE RECALL, BUT MINE WERE NOT DONE AT NO COST TO ME. I AM REPORTING THAT THIS RECALL DOES NOT COVER ENOUGH OF THE MODELS DURING THIS TIME FRAME AS I KNOW OTHERS, INCLUDING MYSELF, WHO ARE NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL YET EXPERIENCE THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS DEFECT SHOULD BE FIXED FOR FREE FOR ALL OWNERS OF '94-'96 MODEL YEAR CHEVROLET TRUCKS.
