OVER THE PAST FOUR YEARS I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPING OR LOCKING UP INTERMITTENTLY WHILE IN USE. I'VE HAD MY MECHANIC CHECK THIS PROBLEM SEVERAL TIMES, BUT HE COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE AS IT IS A INTERMITTENT PROBLEM. I HEARD ABOUT A GM RECALL CONCERNING THIS ISSUE. I NOTIFIED GM AND THEY SAID THAT MY VEHICLE 1994 GMC SONOMA VIN [XXX] WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE ONE COVERED BY THE RECALL. *NLM INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
