GOT INTO VEHICLE AS IT WAS PARKED. IT HAD RAINED THAT DAY SO AFTER I TURNED THE VEHICLE ON, I TURNED THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON BY ROTATING THE SWITCH BACKWARDS TOWARDS ME AND RELEASING. TYPICALLY THIS WILL CAUSE THE WIPERS TO TURN ON, COMPLETE ONE SWIPE UP AND DOWN AND THEN TURN OFF. ON THIS DAY, THE WIPERS STAYED ON LOW SPEED. I TRIED TURNING THE SWITCH ON AND OFF AND TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF AND ON. AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS, I PULLED THE FUSE. TWO DAYS LATER, I PUT THE FUSE BACK IN. THE WIPERS REMAIN OFF UNLESS I TURN THEM ON, THEN THEY WILL STAY ON AND THE CYCLE REPEATS. I NOTICED GM ISSUED A RECALL (# 41051) THAT DESCRIBES THE PROBLEM I AM EXPERIENCING. I CALLED GM AND WAS INFORMED THAT MY VIN WAS NOT INVOLVED WITH THE RECALL 41051. I THEN DID A GOOGLE SEARCH AND FOUND...

UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STARTED OPERATING WHILE THE SWITCH WAS IN THE OFF POSITION. THE WIPERS COULD NOT BE SHUT OFF AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS OF TURNING THE SWITCH TO OFF AND ON POSITIONS. UPON CONTACTING CHEVROLET RECALL NUMBER AND REFERENCING NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 04V046000, I WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THIS RECALL. CONFUSION COMES IN THAT THE VEHICLE RECALL SPECIFIES 2003 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER AND MAKES NO REFERENCE TO SPECIFICS ABOUT VIN NUMBER THAT CHEVROLET MAKES THE STATEMENT THAT VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED FOR RECALL. JUST DOES NOT PASS THE EYE OR SMELL TEST FOR COMMON SENSE!!!!! *JS

VEHICLES WIPER MOTOR DOES NOT TURN OFF.THIS CAUSES A DISTRACTION WHILE DRIVING. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT IS TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND PULL THE FUSE. DEALER STATED THERE WAS A RECALL FOR 2003 CHEVY TRAILBLAZERS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM BUT NOT FOR MY VEHICLE BECAUSE IT DIDN'T HAVE THE PROPER VIN NUMBER. RECALL # 41051. GM CUSTOMER SERVICE MEMBER TOLD ME TO NOTIFY NHTSA. *TR

THE PROBLEM THAT I HAVE WITH MY TRUCK IS AN ELECTRIC PROBLEM INVOLVING THE LIGHT RELAYS, WHICH I AD TO REPLACE SEVERAL TIMES DUE TO THEM BEING DAMAGED, LEAVING ME WITHOUT LIGHTS. MY MAIN CONCERN IS THAT I DRIVE AT NIGHT OFTEN AND I AM IN DANGER WHEN I HAVE THE LIGHTS ON AND OFF. I DID RESEARCH ON SEVERAL FORUMS WHERE SAME-VEHICLE-OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUES. *TR
