ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS MY 1998 GMC YUKON WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING. THE FIRST TIME I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE TOWING A 23 FT. BOAT! I KNOW GM HAS RECALLED MANY VEHICLES FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT THEY DID NOT INCLUDE 1998 MODELS! PLEASE MAKE THEM FIX THE WHOLE PROBLEM BEFORE A LOT OF PEOPLE DIE! I ALMOST TOOK OUT THREE VEHICLES BEFORE I COULD GET OVER ON THE SHOULDER! I'VE FIXED MY YUKON ALREADY BECAUSE IT WAS TO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE BUT GM IS STILL DROPPING THE BALL! *JB

FREINDS OF MINE ALSO EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM WITH 98 TAHOE, I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST MY VEHICLE, THEN I DID SOME RESEARCH AND THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM, WHICH GMC SAYS THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR ONLY LIKE 45OO VEHICLES INVOLVED , BUT I BELIEVE THERE IS A LOT MORE.
