One time windshield wipers will work fine, the next time they will not. they have stopped while driving. this causes a severe safety hazard. gm dealerships say this problem is not covered under recall bulletin # 98043. i do not believe this. i think the dealers are trying to sell a fix that is the manufactures responsibility. gm would not subject their customers to a safety hazard and be subject to the libility. *ak | |||

Winshield wipers would stop at any time causing the drivers view to be obstructed. i contacted my dealer after reading your nhtsa campaign # 98v150001. they checked with gmc and said this did not apply to my vehicle. i am a master service technition (briggs and stratton) and i electronics are a hobby of mine. i removed the circut board and discovered the solder for 3 of the lugs was cracked. i resoldered the lugs and have had no other problems since. i beleve this problem to be a serious safety cocern and beleve gm should recall these vehicles also.*ak | |||
