VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER:MOTOR
EVERYONE I KNOW WHO OWNS A FULL-SIZED GENERAL MOTORS PICK-UP HAS EXPERIENCED INTERMETTENT FAILURE OF THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS. MINE HAVE NOW FAILED COMPLETELY AND WILL NOT FUNCTION AT ALL. I CONTACTED THE PARTS DEPARTMENT AT THE LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. THE GENTLEMAN IN THE PARTS DEPARTMENT STATED THAT 'QUITE A FEW' OF THE FAILING COMPONENTS HAVE BEEN SOLD. THE COMPONENT THAT IS FAILING IS SOME TYPE OF ELECTRONIC CARD THAT CONTROLS THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS. THE CARD IS MOUNTED ON THE FIREWALL IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. MY QUESTION IS: IF SO MANY OF THESE CARDS ARE FAILING AND CAUSING THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS TO STOP FUNCTIONING, WHY HASN'T GENERAL MOTORS ISSUED A RECALL TO HAVE A MORE RELIABLE COMPONENT INSTALLED? THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS PERFORM A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY FUNCTION BY MAINTAINING THE DRIVER'S VISION DURING ADVERSE WEATHER CONDITIONS*AK.
