Complaints on fileComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1994 GMC K15. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAIL TO WORK PROPERLY. THE WIPERS DO NOT OPERATE AS THEY SHOULD, BUT RATHER INTERMITTENTLY.

HE DISCOVERED A RECALL THAT LISTED AN IDENTICAL FAILURE; HOWEVER, THE DEALER STATED THAT HIS VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE CONTACT FEELS THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS COULD STOP WORKING AND REDUCE VISIBILITY. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN INSPECTED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WIPER FAILURE OCCURRED REGULARLY FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 171,000.
