I was driving in a heavy rain storm, on the highway, and the right windshield wiper just stopped. A few minutes later, the left wiper stopped working. I was able to move to the side of the road, since I couldn't see to drive, and I could hear the motor working, but the wipers were not moving.

The specific problem is visibility out the windshield either because of how the windshield is shaped or because of the position of the West Virginia inspection sticker placement in the lower right side of the windshield. My wife is 5'3" and I'm 5'8" tall and the inspection sticker clearly creates a visual safety issue. I contacted wv dmv about his safety issue and they referred me to the wv state police. The state police say the state law requires the inspection sticker be place in the lower left of the windshield. I contacted our state senator and have not heard back. The law should be changed. The way Chevrolet design and manufactured the windshield does make where the inspection sticker is place become a safety issue. If any stickers of such size are placed on the lower left side of the windshield, they become an issue. I don't know the best way to resolve this issue; however, willful ignorance or neglect is wrong. Safety must come first. I think the wv state law is obsolete for new vehicles with windshields of this shape. This is clearly a safety issue. If you are unable to help us, please refer us to someone than can. Thanks

Defroster does not engage until engine is reved to 1,800 R.P.M. dealer mechanic says it was engineered that way.

Defroster system is inadequate to clear windshield and side windows in outside temperatures below 20 deg. F. driving is unsafe because visibility is reduced to a 20 in. Zone forward only. Side vision is completely blocked. The Chevrolet dealership service department is unable to fix the defroster, and informs me that even brand new Chevrolet Colorados on the sales lot have the same problem. The problem exists when the truck is stationary and just as badly when it is moving down the highway.

On Wednesday February 24th I was driving home (North on I-75 in Michigan) from work, the truck had 2-3 inches of snow on top of the truck and truck cap because it cannot be reached due to the height of the vehicle. Traffic was moving at ~ 10 miles per hour due to road conditions and my wipers were on (medium speed if I recall correctly), traffic stopped suddenly and all of the snow from the top of the truck immediately slid forward and covered the windshield. At this point the wipers were essentially buried/ jammed due to the amount of snow and the windshield was completely covered while I was on the expressway. Had the conditions been slightly better I could have been doing well over 10 miles an hour and the result would have absolutely been a collision which could have involved many vehicles. In the past wipers would always continue to move back and forth in a situation like this until the windshield was eventually cleared, my wipers would not even attempt to move, fortunately due to the low speed I was able to get to the shoulder of the expressway to clear the snow. I am very concerned to drive in bad weather now due to the risk of a collision as well as the potential risk of being on the side of the expressway in bad conditions clearing the windshield. Please investigate as the winshield wiper motor should not be protected at the cost of the vehicle and its occupants!
