WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR WORKS ONLY OCCASIONALLY AND USUALLY FAILS WHEN IT IS WET OR HUMID. HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES IN THE SHORT TIME I'VE HAD IT. ALSO WAS A CONSISTANT PROBLEM ON THE 89 SHEVY 1 TON PICKUP I HAD BEFORE.
WINDSHIELD WIPERS SOMETIMES WILL NOT TURN ON, THE CONSUMER TAPS ON THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR AND THIS WILL GET IT WORKING FOR A WHILE. *SLC
DUE TO WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR FAILURE WIPERS CUT OF DURING RAIN STORMS OR LIGHT DRIZZLE. YH
WIPERS DO NOT COME ON WHEN CAR IS HOT, ONLY WHEN CAR HAS JUST BEEN STARTED, AND NOT ALL THE TIME THEN. THEY WILL STOP AT RANDOM AND VERY SELDOM WORK AT ALL. NEIGHBOR ALSO WITH 1992 SUBURBAN HAS SAME PROBLEM.
WINDSHIELD WIPERS TURN ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY, CAUSING LOSS OF VISIBILITY. THE VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED UNDER RECALL DUE TO VIN. *AK
