Windshield Wiper/washer Motor problems of the 1998 Chevrolet C/k Pickups

Windshield wiper washer works intermediately on my Chevrolet ck 1500 pick-up. Same as on the 1996 model which was recalled due to bad connection on wiring. I have had wipers stop working in bad weather then start working again.

On many occasions when wipers are needed, they fail to work. After researching the problem, I found that on 1997 and older c\k pickups, this problem has been recalled,(gm recall no. 03023). Maybe something should be done about this problem, before somebody is hurt or killed.

Windshield wipers stopped working several times. I seen this was a problem with many other vehicle years. Why didn't the 1998 models get included? the latest occurrence was 3/8/2006. I was driving down the freeway during a down pour and they just stopped. I had to work my way to the shoulder and try to get them to start again. It's very scary when this happens at 60 miles per hour. Turning off the engine and starting it again gets them going again but other times I've had to tap on the wiper motor to get them started again.

Windshield wipers are defective. Sometimes they work and other times they don't.

My 1998 Chevrolet z71 pickup has a malfunctioning windshield wiper motor. This is not the only one on this model pickup I have had to go out. I own two pickups this year model, and both have the problem. Seems like gm should pick up on this and fix the defect. I have to keep rainx in my vehicle to help me see in rain storms. The local Chevrolet dealer wants too much to fix the problem, so I have to deal with it the only way I know how to. It has cause many near misses for me, and I am sure it will cause a wreck if it continues to go unfixed.

Wiper's stop working randomly. Identicle problem to recall number 03v159000 on 97 trucks. Gm is refusing to rectify problem.

Wipers would stop working when raining. They will run for a little bit and then get stuck . I would have to pull on them to get them going again. I see there is a recall for 1997 trucks but mine being a 1998 I had to pay for repairs. Close to $ 200. 00.

Windshield wipers work intermitently. Stop half way through cycle. Continue to run after being shut off. Same problem gm has had for years. Same problem we had with 1995 suburban. Same problem we had with 1996 tahoe. From looking at the complaints starting to appear on your web site, the recall needs to be amended to include the 1998 model year.

Windshield wipers start and stop. Sometimes you can get them to restart by switching them off and waiting a few seconds. Other times you have to turn the engine off and then restart it before they will operate again. Apparently this has been a problem with previous years up to 1997. Why 1998 was not included is a good question since the problem still exists.

Windshield wipers will stop working at times. You can turn wiper switch off and on and they may work again but will stop again. Sometimes it harder to get them working again. I understand there has been a recall on some early models with this same problem. Why not the 1998 models with same problem?.

The 97 Chevrolet truck has a problem with the windshiled wiper motor malfunctioning. Mine did the same thing and had to be replaced by my mechanic. The dealer says even though it occurs on the 97s there is no recall on the 98s. I know of other 98s that have the same problem.

The windshield wipers operates intermittently or fail completely due to the failure of the windshield wiper control module, wiper module.

Wiper motor: motor will stop working intermittently. Currently have four wire ties holding wiring harness connector tight against motor body. This is a temporary fix.

I have a 1998 Chevrolet k1500 pickup, the windshield wiper motor will suddenly stop while in operation,I know there is a recall on models up to 1997,but why not the 1998 models,they use the same parts! it's kinda scary when you are going down I-95 in maine in the middle of a snow storm with your kids in the truck and the windshield wipers decide they are going to stop and you have to roll down the window and stick your head out to see where you are at on the road and hope to hell you can find a safe place to pull over. This problem has been on going with this truck since I owned it(January 2001,28000 miles) and g. M. Should pay to fix the problem. It is a major safety concern. Thank you for your time.

Windshield wipers operated erratically, if at all, at speeds other than what was selected on the switch. The only way to turn the things off, if they managed to come on, was to turn off the vehicle. According to local repair shop, replacing the windshield wiper motor circuit board and cover would remedy the problem. I did that on my own expense and time and the problem has been remedied. This is a serious safety hazard and the fact that 1998 model c/k vehicles were not included in the "recall" of several models up to 1997 defies common sense.

The windshield wipers intermittently fail. This has occurred on multiple occasions. Gm will not issue a recall even though it is a known problem on 1998 models. There is a recall on the 1997's.
