Consumer complained about windshield wipers working intermittently. Took vehicle to the dealer and had them repaired. He then showed the dealer that there was a recall. He was told by the mechanic that this vehicle was not on recall, and advised consumer to contact the manufacturer. Consumer then contacted the manufacturer, and was told the same thing. Consumer felt since windshield wipers were not working during rainy times it was a safety hazard. Also, consumer was told that the problem was a cracked solder joint on the control board. Consumer insisted on being reimbursed.

Windshield wipers would quit while using them while raining or not. It's lucky I have rainx in my wiper fluid and on the wipers which gave me enough visibility to see, but this could be a very hazardous situation.

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.

Windshield wipers fail to work intermittently, obviously I only attempt to use my wipers when it is raining. The last time I was driving in heavy rain on the interstate. I managed to get to the shoulder without incedent. This is a very dangerous situation.

My vehicle VIN excluded it from safety recall TSB 98043. The windshield wiper problem I experienced was exactly the same fault as identify in TSB 98043. The repair was the same. I believe a faulty windshield wiper motor assembly was installed in my truck at the factory. I believe the scope of safety recall was too narrow as my and other vehicles yet identified have defective circuit boards in their windshield wiper assembly. Having your windshild wipers stop in the middle of a thunderstorm is stressful and could be deadly.

Windshield wipers would come on or go off on their own whether it would be raining or not. Would lift hood and touch wiring harness, and windshield wipers would work fine for a while. This would cause a great deal of havoc on driver's visibility.
