: the contact stated while driving at various speeds the vehicle's front windshield wipers worked intermittently. On 08/30/06, the dealer was contacted after observing there was a NHTSA recall #03v159000, regarding the visibility: windshield wiper/washer on other models made by the same manufacturer. The vehicle was not included in the recall due to the VIN. Updated 9/13/2006 -.

Windshield wipers and washer intermittently would not work. It started out the washer wouldn't always work and then the wipers followed suit. The first time my wipers didn't work my visibility dropped significantly and it was a dangerous drive home. I looked up this problem on the NHTSA website and saw that there is a recall on this problem. My vehicle did not get recalled. Other models in my year were recalled and my model in previous years were recalled. Chevy dealership wanted to charge me $175 to replace the wiper motor circuit board. I removed the board cleaned it re-soldered it and reinstalled in 30 minutes. Everything works great now.

On oct 6, 2005, I was driving my 1997 Chevrolet K1500 ext cab truck in a rain storm when the wipers just stopped. I found that there was a safety recall issued # 03v159000 for this same problem in 2003. When I contacted the Chevrolet dealership they requested my VIN number and then told me my vehicle was not effected by this safety recall. I then contacted Chevrolet and they told me my vehicle was not effected by this safety recall even though it might have the same wiper motor part number. They then went on to say that they sent out a bulletin that included my vehicle which stated something to the effect if failure occurs before 7 years or 70,000 miles we will replace it. Since my vehicle is a 1997 and it currently has 73,000 miles on it and no longer qualifies as a candidate for this repair. Please keep in mind the hazard still exists! Chevrolet is also still replacing/repair this particular problem on other vehicles which might exceed the 7 year or 70,000 mile cutoff. This makes no sense to me since my vehicle has the exact same issue as these other vehicles.

Windshield wipers stopped working without warning VIN 1gcek19w1ve153879, with 89,000 miles 1997 chevy K1500 truck the purchase date and incident date are approximate. We have had several failures. This is intermittent, I checked the fuse box and it is fine. I have read of this complaint on several chevy vehicles of the model year. My VIN is not covered under the current recall and in my opinion should be.

My wipers worked fine on low it started raining hard I put them on high they went 1/3 up and stopped. This happend going 75mph in the dark on a busy 4 lane they came on about 45 sec. Later. I also drive a 97 k2500 at work and it did the same thing there must be many more. Nlm.

While driving in wet weather, vehicles' windshield wipers either hesitates to work or quit working, or don't work at all. This results in driver having poor visibility, which almost caused an accident. The dealership indicated that they have to replace the wiper module, and also this is a very common problem with this make/model vehicle. Please provide more details. Ts.
