Consumer Description

WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL INTERMITTENTLY FAIL TO OPERATE WHEN SWITCHED ON REGARDLESS OF SPEED OR MODE. THIS PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN WORSE IN THE LAST WEEK OR TWO, AND I AM GETTING READY TO TAKE THE TRUCK TO A TRUSTED NON-DEALER REPAIR FACILITY TO HAVE THE PROBLEM FIXED. IS THIS PROBLEM COMMON WITH GM PRODUCTS (ESP. CHEVY TRUCKS) OF THAT AGE? IT IS A SAFETY-RELATED ISSUE. THE DATE CITED ABOVE IS ONLY THE MOST RECENT OF SEVERAL FAILURES.*AK
