Consumer Description

THIS MODULE CONTROLS THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS, AND IT "FREEZES UP" CAUSING THE WIPERS TO STOP. I WAS IN A HEAVY RAIN, AND HAD TO STOP. THE DEALER SAID THAT IT IS A RECALL ITEM ON S-10'S, BUT NOT FULL SIZE CHEVROLETS. THIS IS THE MOST UNSAFE DEFECT I HAVE EVER HEARD OF IN MY 54 YEARS OF LIFE, 38 DRIVING. CHEVROLET SHOULD BE ASHAMED!!! IT FAILED ONCE TOO MANY TIMES, SO I BOUGHT THE PART AND FIXED IT MYSELF. I THINK THAT MAYBE CHEVRELOT SHOULD REVERT TO "VACUUM" WIPERS FROM THE 40'S AS THEY, ALTHOUGH SLOW AT TIMES, AT LEAST NEVER QUIT ON A DRIVER. *AK
