VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER:MOTOR
THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WORK INTERMITTENTLY. THE WIPER MOTER CAN BE HEARD TRYING TO ENGAGE THE WIPERS, BUT FAILS TO DO SO. IF THE CAR IS DRY PRIOR TO RAIN, THE WIPERS SOMETIMES WILL WORK. IF THE CAR IS OUT AND IS WET, THE WIPERS WILL NOT WORK. THE WIPERS WILL SOMETIMES FAIL ONCE IN USE. I HAVE CONTACTED CHEVROLET, TO WHICH THEY SAID THEY CAN'T INCLUDE THE CAR IN THE RECALL ALTHOUGH IT SEEMS TO BE THE SAME PROBLEM. OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED IN THE RECALL. WE TOOK DELIVERY OF THE CAR ON APRIL 29, 1994.*AK
