Wiper motor fails to operate , or operates and stops for no reason. Recall was done for g. M. Sierras, silverados recently for same reason.

I purchased the vehicle used. But from the day I purchased it, I had a problem with the windshield wipers! it seemed as though sometimes they will freeze halfway through the motion, and other times they wouldn't shut off. One year later - due to lack of time and funding - I have been unable to fix this problem - which has now progressed to the point in which 80% of the time my windshield wipers will fail to work! I will turn the knob - and they don't not come on! I have found that a short in terms of loose connection does not appear to be the cause of this malfunction. I have also tested this theory by turning on the wipers to max speed (of the 20% of the time my wipers work, about 3/4 of that time will the wipers only work when I have them set to maximum speed) - I have even seen several times, while driving over a completely flat surface, my wipers set to max speed, suddenly come to life again! only to stop working again later. I also attempted driving over potholes to see if the bump would jarr the chip into working - it did not work once. Gm has stated that this problem is caused by the wiper pulse control modual. I searched around - and found that this wiper modual (wether it is the same one, or variations of the same unit) go back I believe to the 1980's! now that is insane worst of all - 1998 was one of the only years not recalled by gm! I have found this to be a very common problem - and find it obsurde that I must pay $130 to the dealership to have this item repaired. I would easily pay the $100 for the board if I was not a college student - who can't afford to spend $100 on something like this - and I also just find it stupid that I should be forced to pay the dealership a lot of money for something that they have been having problems with for 10+ years! thank you for reading this report - I just had to express my deepest anger with gm for watching them continue to ignore this large threat.

I have seen on line the complaints of other people with this same problem. I have even contacted gm about this.
