Windshield Wiper/washer problems of the 1998 Chevrolet Blazer - part 2

The windshield wipers do not work properly. Sometimes they will just stop working for long periods of time, and other times will work properly. I researched this and found that 1995 through 1997 Blazers were recalled for the same problem, but the 1998 was not included (see nhsta campaign id# 98v150001, recall date July 1, 1998) this is a real hazard in heavy rain.

Wipers quit when raining or snowing /part that remedies problem is same part for recall 1995-1997 this is not covered. VIN shows 1998, but manufactured in 1997. Deaths will occur if this is not fixed. The problem is growing and I hope that no one dies to force a recall.

Often when I turn on the windshield wipers they cycle part way through and then stop in the middle of the windshield, repeated attempts to turn the wipers on and off does not fix the problem. I understand previous model years with the same problem have already been recalled. The chevy parts guy told me all the windshield wiper modulers through the year 2000 were going bad and he routinly keeps 20 or more in stock because they all use the same part. Why have the other years not been recalled if it is the same part as the ones being recalled on older models and they are going bad as well?.
