THE WIPERS HAVE ALWAYS MALFUNCTIONED, CONSUMER STATES THERE IS A RECALL ON C SERIES TRUCKS FOR THE EXACT SAME REASON, CALLED CHEVROLET BUT THEY SAID THE RECALL WAS ONLY FOR THE C SERIES. CONSUMER WANTS TO KNOW WHY THE K SERIES ARE NOT IN THE RECALL. *YD

WINDSHIELD WIPERS WORK ONLY OCCASIONALLY. I'VE HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR OVER A YEAR. WINDSHIELD WIPERS SEEM NOT TO WORK AT THE MOST INOPERTUNE TIME, LIKE WHEN IT RAINS REALLY HARD. I'VE BEEN USING PRODUCTS LIKE RAINEX TO PROTECT MYSELF FROM WINDSHIELD WIPER RELATED ACCIDENTS.*AK

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS SOMETIMES DO NOT START WHEN SWITCHED ON. THERE ARE OTHER TIMES I AM DRIVING WITH THE WIPERS ON AND THEY STOP WORKING FOR AWHILE THEN START AND RUN FOR SOME TIME THEN STOP. I HAVE FOUND THAT WHEN THE WIPERS ARE NOT RUNNING AFTER BEING TURNED ON THAT IF I WIGGLE THE CONNECTOR AT THE WIPER MOTOR THEN THEY WILL START WORKING, BUT WHILE DRIVING THEY MAY AGAIN SHUT OFF. I CONTACTED CHEVROLET AND WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED UNDER THE RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. I WOULD LIKE FOR YOU TO INCREASE THE RECALLED VEHICLES WITH THIS PROBLEM. MY TRUCK DID NOT DEVELOPE THIS PROBLEM UNTIL ABOUT 1.5 YRS AGO AND I DIDN'T REALIZE THE SYSTEMIC PROBLEM RELATED TO THE WIPERS AND THOUGHT IT WAS JUST "THIS TRUCK" UNTIL I SAW THE RECALL WITH THIS PROBLEM AND FOUND MINE IS NOT INCLUDED. THANKS,...

CURRENT RECALL CAMPAIGN (WIPER MOTOR SOLDER DEFECT) COVERING CHEVROLET/GMC TRUCKS WITH MANUFACTURING DATES FROM 8/94 - 5/96. MY 1995 CHEVROLET TRUCK SILVERADO HAS A MANUFACTURER'S DATE OF 11/94. ACCORDING TO THE PERIOD OF DATES COVERED FOR THIS CAMPAIGN, MY TRUCK SHOULD BE COVERED. HOWEVER, MY TRUCK HAS EXHIBITED THE INTERMITTENT WIPER FAILURE ON THREE SEPARATE RAINY CONDITIONS. WHEN I PRESENTED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REMEDY OF THIS ISSUE, THEY REJECTED MY REQUEST DUE TO "MY VIN NOT BEING A PART OF THE RECALL GROUP".
