1995 CHEVROLET PICKUP Visibilitywindshield Wiperwashermotor Problems

CONSUMER STATES SINCE THE PURCHASE OF VEHICLE, HE IS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE WIPER MOTOR CAUSING DANGEROUS CIRCUMSTANCES ON CROWDED FREEWAY. DEALER COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. CONSUMER WOULD LIKE TO SEE A RECALL FOR WIPER MOTOR FAILURE. *TT *DT

THERE IS A RECALL ON THE WIPER MOTOR ELECTRONIC BOARD FOR SOME CHEVROLET WIPER MOTORS. I HAVE CONTACTED SEVERAL DEALERS AND PARTS DISTRIBUTORS TO FIND THAT THE PART NUMBER OF THE RECALL IS THE SAME AS THE NUMBER THAT MY VEHICLE HAS, YET MY VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED. I HAVE FOUND MANY REPORTS FROM OWNERS WITH THE SAME VEHICLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I'M SURE THAT MY INCIDENT WHERE THE WIPERS QUIT IN THE MIDDLE OF A RAIN STORM WHILE TRAVELING 55 MPH WAS JUST AS HAIR-RAISING AS THE REST. YET IT WOULD SEEM THAT NO ONE WOULD TAKE CARE OF THIS ISSUE. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN KNOWN FOR MORE THAT 4 YEARS. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. WITH THE NUMBER OF INCIDENTS REPORTED, THE SAME PART NUMBERS INVOLVED, AND THE SAME INTERMITTENT FAILURE DESCRIPTIONS, I AM TIRED...

THERE WAS A RECALL ISSUED 2/11/99 STATING SOLDER JOINTS NEAR THE WIRING HARNESS CONNECTOR CAN CRACK CAUSING THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS TO WORK INTERMITTENTLY. CONSEQUENCE SUMMARY STATED THIS CONDITION CAN RESULT IN INOPERATIVE WIPERS, REDUCING DRIVERS VISIBILITY, ETC. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO METRO CHEVORLET AND THEY STATED THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WITH THE WIPERS AND THEY DID NOT FIX OR REPLACE ANYTHING. HOWEVER WHEN I DROVE AWAY I TURNED ON THE WIPERS AND HEARD THE MOTOR MOTOR RUNNING BUT THE WIPERS DID NOT WORK. THE RECALL STATED THE DEALED WILL REPLACE THE WIPER MOTOR AND CIRCUIT BOARD AND COVER AND THEY DID NOT.*AK

WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR IS COMPLETELY GONE. CONTACTED DEALER. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

THE CONSUMER REPLACED THE RECALLED WIPER MOTOR MODULE HIMSELF, HE REQUESTED REIMBURSEMENT, BUT HAS NOT RECEIVED IT YET. NLM

CONSUMER CLAIMED VEHICLE WAS PART OF A RECALL FOR WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR . CONSUMER HAS TAKEN VEHICLE TO DEALER FOR REPAIRS, AND DEALER KEPT INFORMING CONSUMER THAT VEHICLE WAS NOT PART OF RECALL DUE TO VIN. *AK

THERE HAS BEEN 1,557,585 VEHICLES RECALLED FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM UNDER CAMPAIGN 98V150001, BUT MY VEHICLE HAS NO RECALLS ON IT. I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS THOSE, BUT GM WILL NOT REPLACE PARTS FREE OF CHARGE. I THINK GM SHOULD REPLACE PARTS WITH NO CHARGE TO ME. I HAVE NOT HAD THE MONEY TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS HAS CAUSED ME TO ALMOST GET IN SEVERAL ACCIDENTS. *AK

WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED IN RAINY WEATHER WINDSHIELD WIPERS ARE WORKING POORLY. THEY COULD QUIT WITHOUT A PRIOR WARNING. *AK

INTERMITTANT WIPER MOTOR FAILURE.*AK

DISCOVERED A NHTSA ON 1995 CHEVROLET PICKUP TRUCKS RELATIVE TO WINDSHIELD WIPER FAILURES. MINE HAS BEEN DOING THE SAME THING AS DESCRIBED IN NHTSA 98V150 FOR PAST 2 + YEARS. WHEN THEY STOP WORKING I HAVE TO STOP THE VEHICLE, RAISE THE HOOD AND REACH THE CIRCUT BOARD BOX ON THE FIREWALL. I SHAKE/RAP IT SLIGHTLY AND THE WIPERS START WORKING AGAIN. ALSO MOVING THE WIRES GOING INTO THE UNIT CAN CAUSE THE WIPERS TO STOP OR RUN. I HAVE CONTACTED CHEVROLET AND THEY CLAIM MY TRUCK IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM DESCRIBED IN NHTSA 98/150. THIS IS A HIGH RISK SAFETY PROBLEM AS THE WIPERS CAN FAIL AT ANY TIME OR INTERMITTINGLY. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY MY 1995 TRUCK IS EXCLUDED TO REPAIR THIS SAFETY DEFECT AND PROBLEM THAT'S JUST LIKE OTHER CHEVROLET 1995 TRUCKS. *AK

WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR WOULD STOP WHEN IN USE. THIS CAUSES POOR VISIBILITY. WOULD HAVE TO LIFT HOOD & BEAT ON MOTOR TO GET WIPERS STARTED. *AK

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS DO NOT FUNCTION AT ALL. DEALER SAYS IT'S THE CIRCUIT BOARD.*AK

WINDSHIELD WIPERS WORK INTERMITTENTLYJUST LIKE THE RECALL STATES. DEALER HAS BEEN CONTACTED. VEHICLE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR RECALL BECAUSE OF VIN#. *AK *ML
