RECALL 98 V 150 001/WINDSHIELD WIPER WIRING: WINDSHIELD WIPERS TO WORK INTERMITTENTLY, RESULTING IN INOPERATIVE WIPERS, AND REDUCING DRIVER'S VISIBILITY AND INCREASING RISK OF A VEHICLE CRASH.

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WORK INTERMITTENTLY. THE WIPER MOTER CAN BE HEARD TRYING TO ENGAGE THE WIPERS, BUT FAILS TO DO SO. IF THE CAR IS DRY PRIOR TO RAIN, THE WIPERS SOMETIMES WILL WORK. IF THE CAR IS OUT AND IS WET, THE WIPERS WILL NOT WORK. THE WIPERS WILL SOMETIMES FAIL ONCE IN USE. I HAVE CONTACTED CHEVROLET, TO WHICH THEY SAID THEY CAN'T INCLUDE THE CAR IN THE RECALL ALTHOUGH IT SEEMS TO BE THE SAME PROBLEM. OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED IN THE RECALL. WE TOOK DELIVERY OF THE CAR ON APRIL 29, 1994.*AK

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS BEGAN TO WORK INTERMITTENTLY, USUALLY NOT AT ALL (DURING RAIN, GO FIGURE). IF THE SWITCH WAS TURNED ON AND YOU PULLED ON THE ARM OF THE WIPER, THEY WOULD SOMETIMES BEGIN TO FUNCTION. I LEARNED OF A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM: VISUAL SYSTEMS:WINDSHIELD WIPER AND WASHER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 98V15000, CAMPAIGN #: 98043. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE LISTED DEALER FOR THE DEFECT OF A BAD CIRCUIT BOARD TO BE CORRECTED. I WAS TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM THAT THEY FOUND WITH THE WIPERS, THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE RECALL, WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. THIS WAS ON 1-3-01, AND I HAD TO PAY $ 95.67 FOR THE REPAIR, WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED AS DICTATED BY THE RECALL. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE. JOHN JACOB
