This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
: the contact stated while driving various speeds, the windshield wiper/washer worked intermittently. The vehicle was not inspected by a dealer, but the manufacturer was alerted.
Windshield wipers work intermittently creating a hazardous or dangerous driving condition. I have been stranded many times with this defect. I would like it fixed.
: the consumer stated the windshield wipers work intermittently. There is a NHTSA recall, # 98V150001, regarding the windshield wipers. The consumer has the same problem as indicated in the recall; however the vehicle identification number was not included in the recall.
Without any warning the wipers stopped working. The consumer went to the manufacturer and they said that they will not help the consumer with a vehicle that is from 1998 and up. The consumer has had trouble with the dealer in the past and does not want to go to them yet.
While driving in inclement weather, the windshield wipers would come on and go off intermittently. The consumer noticed when the weather was dry, the windshield wipers would come on. The driver drove the vehicle to the dealer for inspection. The mechanic informed the driver that the windshield wiper motor needed to be replaced. Please fill in additional information.
While driving in inclement weather the windshield wipers would come on and go off own their own. The dealer was aware of the problem. The consumer has contacted the dealer for an appointment. This problem is intermittent and also this caused poor visibility while driving. Please fill in additional information.
The windshield wipers of our 1998 Tahoe stopped working. Sometimes we would have to push them to get them started, other times we would have to jiggle the wiring to get them going. They would sometimes work for the remainder of the trip, other times they would stop every few minutes. There is no consistency to when they will work. We were stranded out of town in a heavy rainstorm. This is the same problem as the 94-97 recall and needs to be included. I spoke with Chevrolet and a local dealer. Both acted like they knew nothing about the problem until I mentioned the prior recall, then they just said we were not covered. This is a serious safety problem and chrvrolet needs to be held accountable for fixing the problem.
While driving from boerne, tx to dallas, tx the windshield wipers failed during a rainstorm while on highway. I have had to have the dealer replace the windshield wiper module. There have already been two other recalls by GM on 1994-1997 and 2002-2003 SUVS for the exact same problem; windshield wiper module failure.
The vehicle experienced problems with the steering mechanism. The vehicle lost power steering. The 2nd issue involved the windshield wipers which worked intermittently. The steering wheel position sensor was replaced.
Windshield wipers fail intermittently. When the Tahoe has been driven for a long distance (hot) wipers sometimes fail to work. When Tahoe is cold wipers usually work. They act very similar to my 1995 GMC jimmy before it was recalled for wiper circuit board failure.
Windshield wipers hesitate and starts moving when not on. Also, it won't turn off and stop halfway up with windshield - this is an every week occurrence.
