SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:POWER ASSIST, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL:GAS RECIRCULATION VALVE (EGR VALVE), VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER:MOTOR
THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL STOP IN MID STROKE AND STAY THERE FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME BEFORE RESUMING. NEWER MODELS HAVE BEEN RECALLED, BUT THE '93 GMC HAS ALWAYS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THE EGR VALVE TENDS TO STICK OPEN. IT HAS BEEN CLEANED AND/OR REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES, AND IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IT DRASTICALLY LOWERS MANIFOLD VACUUM AND THAT EFFECTS THE POWER BRAKES. *AK

#701148December 6, 1998
VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER
THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURED AT VEHICLE STARTUP, WHEN DRIVING AND ATTEMPTING TO TURN ON THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS, AS WELL AS HAVING THEM STOP RUNNING ONCE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. WHEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER GM DEALER TO HAVE THE PROBLEM CORRECTED THEY SAID THERE WAS A SHORT AND SUPPOSEDLY CORRECTED IT. THE PROBLEM HAS SINCE REOCCURED AND KEEPS OCCURING. THE NUMBER THAT I PUT IN THE BOX IS LOW WHEN I CONSIDER ALL OF THE TIMES THAT THEY WOULD NOT OPERATE WHEN THEY WERE TURNED ON.
