THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS HAVE WORKED INTERMITTENTLY SINCE MARCH 1997, AT WHICH TIME WE TOOK IT TO SELMAN CHEVROLET AND WERE TOLD THAT THE WARRANTY TIME HAD ELAPSED AND WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY THE $80 - $100 FOR REPAIR. THE COST HAS PROHIBITED US FROM REPAIRING THEM. NOW WE HEAR THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON THE SAME PART FOR WINDSHIELD WIPERS IN BLAZERS, SUBURBANS, ETC. WE FEEL THAT THE PART SHOULD BE REPLACED FOR ASTROVAN OWNERS ALSO. PLEASE HELP US TO GET THIS TAKEN CARE OF IN A TIMELY MANNER. THANK YOU AND THANKS FOR HAVING PEOPLE AVAILABLE FOR US WEST COAST PEOPLE. THAT WAS VERY HELPFUL TO BE ABLE TO TALK TO A REAL PERSON THAT LATE IN THE DAY. *AK

THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR HAS NOT COMPLETELY FAILED BUT ON A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS HAS SEIZED WHILE IN OPERATION NEARLY CAUSING ACCIDENTS. DEALER REFUSED TO REPLACE WIPER MOTOR WHILE UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE IT HAD NOT COMPLETELY FAILED AND WORKED WHEN INSPECTED BY THE TECHNICIAN. *AK

REAR WIPER MOTOR FUNCTIONS INTERMITTENTLY. OPENING AND CLOSING THE REAR HATCH TEMPORARILY FIXES THE PROBLEM. IT HAS DONE THIS SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED BUT DEALERS HAVE REFUSED TO REPLACE THE WIPER MOTOR BECAUSE THE MOTOR WORKED WHEN INSPECTED BY A TECHNICAN. NOT A SAFETY HAZARD BUT A NUISANCE.

FUEL INJECTOR PLUGS UP AND FAILS. IT RUNS VERY ROUGH. NOTHING CAN PREVENT PROBLEM PER DEALER SERVICE TECHS. I WAS TOLD IT WAS DUE TO POOR DESIGN. IT HAS OCCURRED TWICE NOW.

I WAS TOLD THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT IS STARTING TO SEE ALOT OF THIS LATELY. WINDSHIELD WIPERS- THEY WERE WORKING INTERMITTENTLY. THE FIRST TIME THEY WENT OUT IT WAS ON THE FREEWAY IN A HEAVY STORM. THE DEALER COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. IT DID NOT FAIL IN THEIR SHOP. IT TOOK TWO SHOPS BEFORE THEY FOUND THE PROBLEM. IT WAS SOME TYPR OF LOOSE ELECTRICAL WIRING. NOT COVERED BY DEALER DUE TO ME BEING OVER MILEAGE. *AK

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON MY VAN FAIL TO OPERATE ABOUT 50% OF THE TIME. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE ASTRO AND THAT IT WAS RECALLED IN VANS WITH CERTAIN VIN NUMBERS. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY MY WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. I NEVER KNOW WHEN MY WIPERS WILL WORK OR NOT, WHICH IS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING. MANY TIMES I'VE HAD TO REMAIN IN MY VAN UNTIL THE RAIN STOPPED BEFORE I COULD DRIVE HOME. NOW, MY VEHICLE IS DUE FOR INSPECTION, AND BECAUSE OF MY DEFECTIVE WIPERS, I AM NOT ABLE TO PASS INSPECTION. I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF YOU WOULD LOOK INTO THIS MATTER. I WILL HAVE TO SPEND AN OUTRAGEOUS AMOUNT OF MONEY TO REPLACE A DEFECTIVE WIPER MOTOR WHICH SHOULD BE REPLACED BY THE CHEVROLET COMPANY.
