Selected complaints filed with NHTSA by 1995 Chevrolet Pickup owners, lightly cleaned up (personal details are redacted by NHTSA).
There is a recall on the wiper motor electronic board for some Chevrolet wiper motors. I have contacted several dealers and parts distributors to find that the part number of the recall is the same as the number that my vehicle has, yet my vehicle is not covered. I have found many reports from owners with the same vehicle having the same problem. I'm sure that my incident where the wipers quit in the middle of a rain storm while traveling 55 MPH was just as hair-raising as the rest. Yet it would seem that no one would take care of this issue. This problem has been known for more that 4 years. This is an extremely dangerous situation and I would like to know why nothing has been done. With the number of incidents reported, the same part numbers involved, and the same intermittent failure descriptions, I am tired of hearing the same answer - "there is nothing we can do".
Discovered a NHTSA on 1995 Chevrolet Pickup trucks relative to windshield wiper failures. Mine has been doing the same thing as described in NHTSA 98V150 for past 2 + years. When they stop working I have to stop the vehicle, raise the hood and reach the circut board box on the firewall. I shake/rap it slightly and the wipers start working again. Also moving the wires going into the unit can cause the wipers to stop or run. I have contacted Chevrolet and they claim my truck is not included in the recall even though it is the same problem described in NHTSA 98/150. This is a high risk safety problem as the wipers can fail at any time or intermittingly. I don't understand why my 1995 truck is excluded to repair this safety defect and problem that's just like other Chevrolet 1995 trucks.
There was a recall issued 2/11/99 stating solder joints near the wiring harness connector can crack causing the windshield wipers to work intermittently. Consequence summary stated this condition can result in inoperative wipers, reducing drivers visibility, etc. We took the vehicle to metro chevorlet and they stated there was no problem with the wipers and they did not fix or replace anything. However when I drove away I turned on the wipers and heard the motor motor running but the wipers did not work. The recall stated the dealed will replace the wiper motor and circuit board and cover and they did not.
The windshield wiper and washer totally fails. It is an intermittent condition lasting from a few minutes to a few hours. It is a safety item that has been identified in previous recalls. The local dealer refused to correct it because my VIN was not identified in previous recall notices. This is a classic example of visual systems failure described in NHTSA campaign id numbers 98V150000 and 98V150001. Your letter postmarked June 22, 2000 stated that a representative from net inc would contact me within the next two weeks. Five weeks have passed and I have not been contacted. This is a safety item!!!!!
There has been 1,557,585 vehicles recalled for this same problem under campaign 98V150001, but my vehicle has no recalls on it. I have the same problem as those, but GM will not replace parts free of charge. I think GM should replace parts with no charge to me. I have not had the money to fix the problem. This has caused me to almost get in several accidents.
When driving in the rain and turning on the windshield wipers they will work whenever they feel like working, and they will go off and on, and that a blind spot for the consumer when driving in the rain. The vehicle is in the shop for repair service due to the margin in the windshield wipers.
Not covered under original recall, however same part faild in same manner as recall. Chevrolet will not cover part. Dealer admitted that many others from same year and later are also failing. They keep a good supply on hand due to the high failure rate onthis part from those years (95,, 96, 97)
Windshield wipers did not work correctly at purchase, stopped at any time, started at any time, never worked when raining. The seatbelt fastener separated day after purchase, dealer never replaced - excuse a custom pkg and c ould not match seat belt fasteners. - same with windshield wipers.
Consumer states since the purchase of vehicle, he is having problems with the wiper motor causing dangerous circumstances on crowded freeway. Dealer could not find a problem. Consumer would like to see a recall for wiper motor failure.
Intermittently when it rains or while using windshield wiper, the wipers will not work at all. Dealer and manufacturer have been notified. There is a recall concerning the wipers, the vehicle is in the VIN block but is not being recalled.
