THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS SOMETIMES DO NOT START WHEN SWITCHED ON. THERE ARE OTHER TIMES I AM DRIVING WITH THE WIPERS ON AND THEY STOP WORKING FOR AWHILE THEN START AND RUN FOR SOME TIME THEN STOP. I HAVE FOUND THAT WHEN THE WIPERS ARE NOT RUNNING AFTER BEING TURNED ON THAT IF I WIGGLE THE CONNECTOR AT THE WIPER MOTOR THEN THEY WILL START WORKING, BUT WHILE DRIVING THEY MAY AGAIN SHUT OFF. I CONTACTED CHEVROLET AND WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED UNDER THE RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. I WOULD LIKE FOR YOU TO INCREASE THE RECALLED VEHICLES WITH THIS PROBLEM. MY TRUCK DID NOT DEVELOPE THIS PROBLEM UNTIL ABOUT 1.5 YRS AGO AND I DIDN'T REALIZE THE SYSTEMIC PROBLEM RELATED TO THE WIPERS AND THOUGHT IT WAS JUST "THIS TRUCK" UNTIL I SAW THE RECALL WITH THIS PROBLEM AND FOUND MINE IS NOT INCLUDED. THANKS, WAYNE. *AK
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.
