INTERMITTENTLY WINDSHIELD WIPERS BECOME INOPERABLE, OBSTRUCTING DRIVERS VIEW. A RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED ON SIMILAR MAKES AND MODELS. HOWEVER, THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED. PLEASE PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.*AK

THE WIPER MOTOR WILL OPERATE ONLY INTERMITTENTLY. I CONTACTED CAPITOL CHEVROLET AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A SAFETY RECALL BY VIN# AND MY TRUCK WAS NOT ON THE LIST. I WANT CHEVROLET TO PUT MY TRUCK'S VIN# ON THE LIST. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM AND CHEVROLET SHOULD FIX IT. THIS INTERMITTENT OPERATION HAS OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY 10 TIMES.
MY CONCERN IS THAT I WAS CHARGED 196.47 PLUS LABOR TO FIX A WIPER MOTOR THE GM KNEW WAS BEING RECALLED ON SOME VECHICLES MY THE DEALER ADMISSION. SECONDLY, I SCHEDULED MY TRUCK FOR A VECHICLE RECALL ON A GAS TANK MOUNTING PROBLEM, LOST A 1/2 DAYS WORK DROPPING OFF AND PICKING UP. WHEN I PICKED UP TRUCK I HAD TO ASK WHAT THEY FOUND RELATIVE TO THE TANK AND WAS THEN TOLD, "WELL WE DIDN'T HAVE THE PARTS IN STOCK TO FIX IT." I ASKED TO BE CALLED WHEN PARTS CAME IN AND I STILL AM WAITING. I CALLED GM TO COMPLAIN AND WAS TOLD TO GO TO ANOTHER DEALER..THAT WAS THERE SOLUTION. THIS PROBLEM REMINDS ME ON THE ONE I HAD ON MY 1990 CHEV. DUALLY. THE PAINT WAS PEELING OFF THE TRUCK AND GM ADMITTED THAT THEY HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE PRIMER, I WAS DELAYED MONTH AFTER MONTH BY DON HEWLETT CHEV. IN GEORGETOWN TX IN SCHEDULING A RE-PAINT. WHEN I FINALLY INSISTED ON A DATE, I WAS TOLD GM NO LONGER COVERED THE DEFECT DUE TO TRUCKS AGE. GM WOULD NOT SUPPORT FIXING THE PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH IT HAD BE REPORTED WITHIN THE RECALL PERIOD. MY QUESTION IS HOW DO YOU GET THE MANUFACTURER'S AND THEIR DEALERS TO STANDBEHIND WHAT THEY CLAIM TO COVER????
WINDSHIELD WIPERS QUIT WORKING INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING. *AK
WINDSHIELD WIPER STOP WORKING OR NEVER START WORKING. STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF WINDSHIELD IF RUNNING. *AK

VEHICLE HAS ALL THE DEFECTS LISTED IN NHSTA ID NUMBER 97V037000 & 98V150000

I WROTE ABOUT THIS A FEW WEEKS AGO THAT THE WIPERS HAVE BEEN STOPPING DURING A RAINSTORM BUT THE DEALERS LANDMARK AND NORMAN FREDE CHEVROLET IN CLEAR LAKE,TX WILL NOT REPLACE THEM BECAUSE MY SERIAL NUMBER IS NOT INCLUDED EVEN THOUGH THE PROBLEM CAN BE DUPLICATED SIMPLY BY WASHING THE VEHICLE. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY RESPONSE FROM NHTSA WHETHER OR NOT THIS LAST MESSAGE WAS RECEIVED.
WINDSHIELD WIPERS QUIT WORKING DURING A HEAVY THUNDERSTORM. RESTARTED AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES BUT BEFORE I COULD TAKE TO DEALER. SAME THING AFTER I HAD WASHED THE TRUCK. I TOOK IT TO NORMAN FREDE CHEVROLET IN CLEAR LAKE TEXAS FOR A RECALL NOTICE ON THE SEATS WHICH COULD CUT FINGERS IF FOLDED AND THEY SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT FIX BECAUSE THE WARRANTY EXPIRED(3 YEARS)EVEN THOUGH THE TRUCK ONLY HAS 20690 MILES.
REAR VIEW EXTERIOR MIRRORS VIBRATE CAUSING LOSS OF VISIBILITY.
Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
