WINDSHIELD WIPERS DO NOT WORK SOMETIMES AND DO AT OTHER TIMES. RECENTLY, IN A HEAVY RAIN ON THE HIGHWAY THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS DID NOT COME ON WHEN ACTIVATED. AFTER A MINUTE OR TWO THEY SOMETIMES COME ON. OTHER TIMES THEY MAY WORK PERFECTLY. THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP SAID THERE WAS A RECALL FOR MY YEAR MODEL AND A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS VEHICLE BUT MY MODEL DID NOT QUALIFY FOR THE REPAIR DUE TO VIN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, AND I HAVE HAD TO PULL OVER ON OCCASION, ESPECIALLY WHEN MY FAMILY IS IN THE VEHICLE BECAUSE I COULD NOT SEE TO CONTINUE DRIVING. ANY HELP ON THE SITUATION WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED . *AK
