Nine problems related to windshield wiper/washer have been reported for the 1998 Oldsmobile Bravada. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
While driving, the windshield wipers failed intermittently. On several occasions, the consumer had to pull off of the highway due to the rain and not being able to see through the windshield.
Windshield wipers failed intermittently. People having this problem need to contact general motors (Oldsmobile), I spoke with a woman there, she said they weren't even aware of the problem. Everybody experiencing this problem should contact them because this is a severe hazard and the vehicle needs to be recalled. I had the wiper module replaced (my expense) and the same thing was wrong with it that was wrong with the blazers they had recalled for defective wipers. You can contact them by the following: email: cac@Oldsmobile. Com or call customer service (ask for the manager)@ 1-800-442-6537 Monday through Friday 8:00 to 11:00 eastern time. Please call and let the manufacturer now about this, they said if more people call then maybe it will be recalled!!!! thanks gw.
Consumer stated that without any indication, the windshield wipers stopped working, which resulted in poor visibility. Dealer had been contacted. In heavy rain , the wipers had been on for about 10 minutes and had suddenly gone off. When the vehicle was started again about 15 minutes later thee wipers worked again.
Sometimes the windshield wipers work and sometimes they don't. When they do work they usually stop working in the middle of raining. I think this is very dangerous. I know another person that owns a Bravada that has the same problem. The windshield wipers has stopped working while I was riding on the freeway before in the middle of a storm, I could have gotten into a serious accident. I am almost scared to drive when the forecast says rain because you never know when the windshield wipers are going to work.
I bought my vehicle used (about 30,000 miles on it). Roughly 4 months after I bought it the windshield wipers were not working correctly. I would turn them off and they would continue to go, sometimes I would use my sprayers to clean the windshield and the wipes would wipe 14 times (I counted). Sometimes I would turn them on and they wouldn't come on and other times I would turn them off and they would stop right in my viewing area of the windshield. Happened quite frequently.
The pulse windshield did not work properly. It had been recalled by gm. Ph.
Experiencing intermittent windshield wiper operation. Same symptoms experienced with a 1995 GMC jimmy which was covered by a recall. Gm should expand the recall as this seems to be a common issue and a major safety issue.
Windshield wipers will intermittently work. In conversing with another owner of the same type vehicle, the problem was traced to a poor solder point. There was a small crack in the solder located on the circuit board.
Windshield wipers experienced the same defect as stated in recall 03v159000. This vehicle was not included in the recall due to the vehicle identification number the windshield wipers were inoperable, they never worked on fast or high. There was an intermittent failure above 75 percent or three out of four tries. Gm refused repair.
