1997 k3500 chevy truck. Have had issues with the wipers not working intermittentialy for the last 2 years. Came across a chevy bulletin ( 03023 ) and NHTSA 03v159000 that reflects the problem accuratly along with the internal dealer/gm notices that I obtained from alldata. Com. I contacted both my local dealer and chevy corporate customer service about the issue. (ed mwango case 1-379680418 case number from chevy corporate ). They said that my VIN did not come up in the recall and it was too old for them to consider. According to the internal gm doc this is a safety issue and should be addressed regardless of age or mileage. I would like gm/chevy to honor this recall.

The windshield wipers on my 1997 Chevrolet c1500 pickup truck will stop working while I am driving. This has happened several times. Today it was raining fairly hard and I was driving along at 55mph and the wipers just stopped. It was like driving blindfolded. Luckily I was able to pull over without hitting anyone. I did some research on the internet to find out what is causing this. I found a recall on the NHTSA. Gov site for my year and make truck. Nhtsa campaign id number: 03v159000 I went to a Chevrolet dealer and they knew exactly what was wrong, but told me my truck was not included in the recall. I don't understand how this can be.

Windshield wipers began to fail intermittently. During each failure, to date, I have pulled off the road and raised the hood. With the wiper in the "on" position, I rap sharply on the motor and the wipers begin to operate normally. This would indicate a short in the system.

Windshield wipers frequently fail to turn on. The recall for this problem does not include 1997 Chevrolet C/k Pickups.

The windshield wipers work sporadically. On 6/27 during a thunderstorm, the wipers suddenly ceased working and nearly caused an accident. From this site I discovered that there is a recall on this item for my make and model truck (recall number 03v159000). I contacted Chevrolet and they informed me that the recall did not apply to my truck based on the VIN number. Although the manifestation of the problem on my particular vehicle would indicate that the scope of the recall was too narrow, Chevrolet refused to offer me cost assistance in getting this repaired.

Intermittent failure of the windshield wipers leading to a complete failure and totally inoperable. Wiper motor module/circuit board was replaced by Chevrolet dealer at full price of $148. 15. I was told by the dealer my vehicle was not covered under general motors recall #03023 (NHTSA recall # 03v159000) as my VIN #2geck19r9v1180484 was not on the approved gm recall list. Although it was not listed, the failure was the exact same as indicated in the recall description and I feel I should be reimbursed for the repairs.
