A COMPLAINT ODI#10000512 ON WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON A 2001 SILVERADO. HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN TO ME BUT I LIVE IN TEXAS, THERE WAS NO SNOW, AND I WAS JUST TURNING THEM ON TO CLEAN THE WINDSHIELD, YET THE RIGHT WIPER FAILED
#10000512 |
MY 2001 CHEVROLET PICKUP TRUCK HAS 3500 MILES ON IT, AND IN THE TWO SNOW STORMS THIS WINTER(IT HAS ONLY BEEN IN TWO SNOW DRIVING SITUATIONS) BOTH TIMES THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDSHIELD WIPER LINKAGE BECAME DISCONNECTED BELOW THE WIPER ROTATING OUTPUT SHAFT. AFTER THE FIRST SNOW STORM I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER WHO SIMPLY RECONNECTED EVERYTHING AND COMMENTED: WE HAVE HAD ABOUT 45 SIMILAR CASES JUST THIS MORNING. HE COMMENTED THAT THE WIPERS ARE NOT DESIGNED TO BE USED IN SUCH HEAVY SNOW. THE SNOW BUILT UP UNDER THE WIPER ARM, PUTTING STRESS ON THE INTERNAL LINKAGE BELOW THE SHEET METAL, AND CAUSED THE LINKAGE TO POP APART. HE SUGGESTED THAT I NOT DRIVE IN SUCH HEAVY SNOWFALL, OR THAT I KEEP THE LINKAGE CLEAR OF SNOW BUILDUP. I POINTED OUT THE OBVIOUS SAFETY CONCERN FOR PULLING OVER EVERY TEN MINUTES TO CLEAR AWAY SNOW FROM UNDER THE WIPER...
