| The windshield wiper and washer totally fails. it is an intermittent condition lasting from a few minutes to a few hours. it is a safety item that has been identified in previous recalls. the local dealer refused to correct it because my vin was not identified in previous recall notices. this is a classic example of visual systems failure described in nhtsa campaign id numbers 98v150000 and 98v150001. your letter postmarked june 22, 2000 stated that a representative from net inc would contact me within the next two weeks. five weeks have passed and i have not been contacted. this is a safety item!!!!!*ak | |||

| There is a recall on the wiper motor electronic board for some chevrolet wiper motors. i have contacted several dealers and parts distributors to find that the part number of the recall is the same as the number that my vehicle has, yet my vehicle is not covered. i have found many reports from owners with the same vehicle having the same problem. i'm sure that my incident where the wipers quit in the middle of a rain storm while traveling 55 mph was just as hair-raising as the rest. yet it would seem that no one would take care of this issue. this problem has been known for more that 4 years. this is an extremely dangerous situation and i would like to know why nothing has been done. with the number of incidents reported, the same part numbers involved, and the same intermittent failure descriptions, i am tired of hearing the same answer - there is nothing we can do.*ak | |||

| There has been 1,557,585 vehicles recalled for this same problem under campaign 98v150001, but my vehicle has no recalls on it. i have the same problem as those, but gm will not replace parts free of charge. i think gm should replace parts with no charge to me. i have not had the money to fix the problem. this has caused me to almost get in several accidents. *ak | |||

| Discovered a nhtsa on 1995 chevrolet pickup trucks relative to windshield wiper failures. mine has been doing the same thing as described in nhtsa 98v150 for past 2 + years. when they stop working i have to stop the vehicle, raise the hood and reach the circut board box on the firewall. i shake/rap it slightly and the wipers start working again. also moving the wires going into the unit can cause the wipers to stop or run. i have contacted chevrolet and they claim my truck is not included in the recall even though it is the same problem described in nhtsa 98/150. this is a high risk safety problem as the wipers can fail at any time or intermittingly. i don't understand why my 1995 truck is excluded to repair this safety defect and problem that's just like other chevrolet 1995 trucks. *ak | |||
