Windshield Wiper/washer Motor problems of the 1997 Chevrolet K1500

When consumers vehicle gets wet the windshield wipers quit working. 1997 Chevrolet K1500 pickup with 33000 miles. Vehicle started experiencing this problem about six months ago with 32,000 miles on it. Consumer bought vehicle on 10-14 1997, vehicle was never in a wreck, nor had any body work been done on it. Consumer first noticed problem when he was washing vehicle in driveway and went to turn on the windshield wipers to find that they would not work. Consumer contacted manufacturer on July 20, 2005. Manufacturer stated that they could not find that this problem was covered by anything due to age of vehicle. Consumer said that he had heard that this was a problem on these vehicles with windshield wipers not working due to circuit board. He heard that vehicle could be fixed for free if fitted in a certain time frame. His vehicle did not fit in this time frame because it did not show when manufacturer was fixing this problem . Consumer just wanted this to be on record. He stated that manufacturer had a problem ,and he would hate for someone to loose his/her life because of it.

In rain storms or in good weather go to put the windshield wipers on and they just make a noise (like it is shorting out). It is not repeatable all the time. One minute they don't work, then the next minute they do! this condition happens once every so often. But when it is raining, it creates a hazardous condition.

While driving at highway speed in a rainstorm the windshield wipers failed without warning. A recall was issued, however the vehicle's VIN number is outside of the remedy scope. Please provide additional information.

My VIN is not included in this existing recall (per gm); however, my vehicle exhibits the same symptoms. I believe my vehicle should be included in this recall.
