1997 CHEVROLET C/K PICKUPS Visibilitywindshield Wiperwasherswitchwiring Problems

WINDSHIELD WIPERS ONLY WORK INTERMITTENTLY, A HUMMING SOUND CAN BE HEARD, BUT WIPERS WON'T MOVE, THEN THEY WILL START WORKING AGAIN. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR APPROX. 1 AND A HALF YEARS. I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM AND FOUND THAT CHEVY WAS HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE WIPER MOTOR SOLDER JOINTS AT THE CIRCUIT BOARD, BUT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP INSISTS MY TRUCK ISN'T IN THAT RECALL, HOWEVER...I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE RECALL. *NM

I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GM IN FEB 2003 STATING THAT IF A WINDSHIELD WIPER CIRCUIT BOARD WOULD BE REPLACED IF IT FAILED BY 70,000 OR FEB 29, 2004. IT FAILED AT 45000 MILES, BUT ON JULY 17, 2005. FORTUNATELY THE FAILURE WAS NOT AT A CRITICAL TIME! THE LETTER CLEARLY IMPLIES THAT GM FELT THEIR WAS A PROBLEM, HOWEVER INSTEAD OF ACCEPTING ALL RESPONSIBILITY THEY ALSO IMPLIED THAT NOT EVERY UNIT WOULD FAIL. THE TWO CHECKPOINTS WERE TIME OR MILEAGE. IF, HOWEVER ONE IS NOT A "HARD" USER OF A VEHICLE, THEN ONE WOULD EXPECT THE MILEAGE TO BE THE KEY, NOT THE TIME. THIS IS ESPECIALLY TRUE OF A MECHANICAL FAILURE LIKE A SOLDER JOINT (PROPOSED IN THIS CASE). I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO A GM DEALER AND IT WAS NOT LISTED AS A RECALL (IT NEVER WAS), AND I AGREED TO HAVE THE WORK DONE AND PAY...

I HAVE 1997 CHEVROLET PICKUP THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS SEEM TO HAVE A MIND OF THEIR OWN THEY SEEM TO QUIT AT INOPPORTUNE TIMES AND START WHEN THEY ARE DUMB GOOD AND READY, THE DEALER IN KALKASKA TELLS ME THERE WERE NO RECALLS AND I NOW FIND THERE HAVE BEEN IN THE PAST COVERING THE 1997 CK CHEV. PKUP
