Three problems related to windshield wiper/washer motor have been reported for the 1997 GMC Sierra 1500. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
: the contact stated the wiper/washer motor there was a recall # 03023 pertaining to intermittent failure of the wipers and a buzz under the dash due to bad solder points which failed 5 times. The service dealer and manufacturer were notified. The vehicle was not included in the recall due to the VIN.
For the last two years when I use my windshield wipers they just all of asudden just stop. If I can stop I try to move the wipers by hand which works sometimes and others it doesn't or they just start working. It happends everytimes it rains and I have to use my wipers. We called a dealship to see if there were any recalls on this and they said there were recalls on wipers due to cracked solder joints but they said my truck wasn't included.
I received a recall notice for my 1997 GMC suburban. The campaign number is 03023. The defect was related to the windshield wiper motor stopping which has recently happened to us during heavy rains. When I brought the vehicle to the dealership (tucks trucks in hudson MA), they refused working on the vehicle as the gm system showed a campaign status as "closed". I contacted gm and they said they would look into it. In the mean time I have wipers that stop working intermittently during rainstorms. I am curious to know how many of these campaigns are closed with no reason listed as mine is.
