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.

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.

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.

Windshield wiper motor intermittent operation;I researched the problem and found there was a recall for my make ,model. However after taking my truck to the dealer I was notified my VIN was not on the list. I then contacted gm. I was told there was nothing they could do about the recall and if I felt this was a safety problem I should take it to be fixed. I feel they do not think loss of your wipers is a safety concern.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Dt the consumer received a letter on February 23, 2003 from Chevrolet, it was a special provision letter for the windshield wipers, contacted the two dealers ,they said this vehicle fell within the seven year limit or 70,000 and my vehicle has 41,000 but they said it past the seven years, but it was outside the seven years. It was void when the consumer received it. The windshield wipers work intermently on the vehicle, the wiper motor faied. On September 29, 2005 the windshield wipers quit working completely. When turn ingit on on e could hear an electrical sound, if one hit the cover with something could get the windshield wipers to work.

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.

Windshield wipers are working inadvertently. They sometimes don't work at all . Dealer was contacted and stated there was no remedy for this problem.

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.
