Windshield Wiper/washer Motor problems of the 1997 Chevrolet C/k Pickups

Windshield wipers stopped working during a thunderstorm.

I went to my local dealership to fix a recall on my chevorlet truck that I saw on your website and they will not fix it for free. They will not fix it because they have no knowledge of any recalls about it. I have an issue with the wipers not working all the time and it is causing a hazard when I drive in the rain.

Windshield washer works intermittently or quits working as this is a safety issue in poor weather.

When the consumer would use the windshield wipers they would work off and on. The problem first started on August 13, 2005. The NHTSA recall 03v159000/gm recall 03023 was issued. The consumer took the vehicle to a dealership for recall repairs. The consumer was concerned because he was being charged for the repair work that others were not charged. When the consumer contacted the manufacturer, they told him that this vehicle was not included in the recall due to VIN.

On 6/12/05, the windshield wipers on my 1997 Chevrolet silverado pickup truck failed during a sudden rainshower. I checked the breaker panel and found that the fuse for the wiper motor had not blown. Prior to taking the vehicle to a dealership for repair, I checked the NHTSA website to research if there had been a recall covering this repair. I located gm recall #03023/ NHTSA campaign id #03v159000 which covered certain pickups of my model year. The dealership advised that my vehicle was not covered under the recall and I spent $148. 95 to have a "faulty circuit board module" replaced. This is the same repair called for under the aforementioned recall. A coincidence???.

(1) failure of windshield wiper motor during rain storm (2) reduced visibility driving in rain (3) none.

My windshield wipers have intermittently quit working. I have contacted the dealer about this problem and was informed that there was a recall on this problem for the same year model but mine was not included. However it has the same defect as the other 1997 models that has been recalled GMC needs to be aware of this and amend its recall.

Within the past 3 months, I have noticed that my windshield wipers have intermittently quit working. Sometimes they will not come on at all and sometimes they will stop in the middle of service. This poses potential hazards not only to myself, but other drivers. I was looking online and found some information about a recall issued in 2003 that seems to cover this exact same defect in many other gm models. I called the dealership to find out if my 1997 ck 1500 pick up truck was covered and they informed me that it was not and suggested the problem was probably the circuit board. That is the same thing that was wrong with the recalled vehicles. Please advise if this is a problem the manufacturer is aware of and what steps they are taking to amend the recall to include additional makes and models. According to my research, there are other people in the same predicament.

Windshield wiper motor quit working. The wipers stopped working in the process of tracking down the problem and discovered that no fuse was in the air bag. The fuse had been left out during assembly.
