WINDSHIELD WIPERS TURNED OFF DURING INCLIMATE WEATHER ON A DIVIDED HIGHWAY. THIS CAUSED ME JUCH STRESS AND COULD HAVE EASILY CAUSED AN WRECK. AFTER HAVING WIPERS CHECKED OUT I FOUND THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN RECALLED IN PREVIOUS YEARS. I HAVE A 1998 CHEVROLET PICKUP AND BELIEVE THAT CHEVROLET SHOULD RECALL ANY YEARS WITH THE FAULTY CIRCUIT BOARDS. THIS PROBLEM COULD EASILY RESULT IN THE LOSS OF LIFE.*AK

WINDSHIELD WIPERS WORK ON AN INTERMITTENT BASIS. SOME VEHICLES MANUFACTURED IN THE YEARS 1994 THROUGH PART OF THE YEAR IN 1997 HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS PROBLEM.

WEB COMPLAINT SITES ALSO INDICATING SAME FAILURE. WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR WILL NOT RUN IF THE WEATHER IS RAINY OR DAMP. AS SOON AS MOISTURE IS IN THE AIR, THE WIPER MOTOR WILL NOT ACTIVATE. IF YOU LEAVE THE WIPER SWITCH IN THE ON POSITION, IT WILL EVENTUALLY START. MEANTIME, YOU ARE TRAVELING IN RAIN, AND YOU HAVE NO WIPER ACTION TO CLEAR THE WINDOW. WEB SITES INDICATE MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE. RESPONSE INDICATES THAT MOISTURE GETS INTO CIRCUIT BOARDS CONTROLLING WIPER MOTOR AND SHORTS OUT THE CIRCUIT. ANOTHER SITUATION FOR A GMC RECALL. *AK
