See: NHTSA campaign id numbers: 98V150000 & 98V150001. When I took the truck to the dealer, they said my truck was within the same year as the recalls, but my VIN # was not one of the ones being recalled. They said they would have to charge me to fix it. My truck is doing exactly the same as this recall notice says;windshield wipers and washer work intermittently. Please advise as soon as possible; should I get this fixed on my own and will I be reimbursed? Thanks for your help! Roger jacobson.
Consumer contacted dealer in reference to recall number 98v15001/manufacturer's recall 98043 and 96c26 concerning windshield wiper motor malfunctioning. Dealer stated this vehicle not included in the recall although consumer was experiencing the same type of problems as stated in the recalls. Also, while dealer was aware of other recalls, manufacturer was not aware of any other recalls.
When it is humid or raining the wipers May or May not work. They start then won't stop or don't start at all. The dealers I've been to two say there was a recall for my year truck but not from the plant mine was built at. Please nail these ?!@#$% before someone gets hurt badly. Thank you. Dt
Windshield wiper wiring causes the wipers to work intermittently. Sometimes they would come on & work just fine. Other times would be on & would just stop. This would cause the driver to have poor visibility when driving. Its a safety hazard. Part of recall 98V150000/001.
Windshield wipers work intermittently, and it's getting worse. Consumer feels this is unsafe because windshield wipers May stop while in the middle of a rain storm. Problem is the same as indicated in recall 98V150001. But this car was not included due to VIN.
