NHTSA Complaint #763596 — 1994 CHEVROLET S10

WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAIL INTERMITTENTLY, SOMETIMES THEY WORK...SOMETIMES THEY DON'T, WHEN DRIVING IN THE RAIN THEY MAY QUIT WORKING AT ANYTIME (SOMETIMES IN A DOWNPOUR) SOMETIMES I CAN GET THEM TO WORK AGAIN BY YANKING ON THE BLADES, SOMETIMES NOT. EXPERIENCED SAME PROBLEM 3 YEARS AGO AND HAD STAR CHEVEROLET REPLACE THE "BLACK BOX" MOTOR ($300.) AND NOW THEY'RE FAILING AGAIN.....MECHANINC AT THE TIME SAID "TOO BAD THIS TRUCK ISN'T A 95 OR 96 CAUSE THOSE MODELS WERE RECALLED.....WHEN ASKED WHY THE 94'S WERE NOT INCLUDED, HE REPLIED "PROPBABLY NOT ENOUGH COMPLAINTS" MY MAIN CONCERN IS SAFETY FOLLOWING ANOTHER REPLACEMENT OF THE WIPER MOTOR, HOW CAN I BE ASSURED WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN, THE WIPERS WON'T STOP WORKING AT ANY TIME? IN ADDITION, A $300 EXPENSE EVERY COUPLE YEARS JUST TO BE ABLE TO SAFELY DRIVE IN THE RAIN SEEMS A BIT INAPROPRIATE TO EXPECT THE CONSUMER TO ENDURE THE EXPENSE AND RISK, ESPECIALLY IF OTHER MODELS HAVE ALREADY BEEN RECALLED DUE TO KNOW PROBLEMS.*AK
