Consumer Description

WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR RELAY FAILURE MUTIPLE TIMES. THE MOST RECENT FAILURE WAS ON MARCH 6, 2001 OCCURRING IN A MAJOR RAINSTORM ON INTERSATE 40 IN ARIZONA AT THE TIME OF THE FAILURE, MY WIFE WAS WITH ME. THE RAIN WAS SO INTENSE IT ALMOST CAUSED ME TO CRASH AS I COULD NOT SEE THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD. I PREVIOUSLY CONTATED CHEVROLET WHO ADMITTED THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTORS. THERE WAS ALSO A SAFETY RECALL REPORTED, HOWEVER, MY TRUCK WAS NOT BUILT AT A CERTAIN SITE SO IT DID NOT QUALIFY. I HAD MY TRUCK REPAIRED TODAY AND THE SHOP INFORMED ME THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH CHEVROLET TRUCK TYPE VEHICLES. THE WINDSHIELD WIPER FAILURE IS A DEFINITE SAFETY HAZARD. IT IS QUITE APPARENT THAT CHEVROLET IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM, HOWEVER, REFUSES TO ISSUE A RECALL. I APPRECIATE ANY HELP YOU CAN PROVIDE ME WITH THIS PROBLEM. THANKS - RUDY BLUM. *AK
