While driving in rainy weather front windshield wipers failed intermittently. Dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem. A recall was issued for this problem but the consumer's vehicle was not included due to VIN.
Wipers often fail when in use. They will run stop, run stop. They stop in the middle of the windshield, stop at the bottom of the windshield, stop anywhere. While driving in a rainstorm this is quite dangerous, you are unable to see. I owned a 1997 Chevrolet Suburban that did the same thing, recall was issued. Why no recall on my Tahoe. I am sure it is the same problem. Do I need to be involved in a traffic accident first?
When driving in the rain windshield wipers failed and resulted in poor visibility. The consumer had too off to the side of the road. Consumer contacted the dealership. The dealer replaced the wiper module.
Windshield wipers will either quit working while engaged or will not come on, the motor will just run. Recall 03V159000 was issued on this make/model; however, this vehicle was not included due to VIN.
Faulty windshield wiper motor failure on 1999 Chevrolet Tahoe (not covered in GM recall #98043). Problem has persisted over 6 months during intense rainy season in central Florida. I commute between 2 military bases macdill afb in tampa, and patrick afb in cocoa beach where wife and daughter are stationed.
-- faulty solder joints on the windshield wiper motor circuit board. My windshield wipers have intermittently quit working when the switch is turned on. This is hazardous to driving my family during the rain, due to the windshield wipers not working during heavy rain.
I have a 1999 (manufactured April 1998) Chevrolet Tahoe. Was returning home with family in middle of thunderstorm, when windshield wipers totally stopped working. Had a heck of a time making it home safely. Immediately took Tahoe to dealer, where after mis-diagnosis of problem, was finally resolved with replacement of $400 wiper motor. I know that there was a recall of 97 models and this was manufactured in April of 1998. Could there be a link" Chevrolet/GM has stated in no uncertain terms, they will not fix this under a safety issue, and I am on my own. Not only is this the 1st vehicle I've ever had a wiper motor go bad, but that coupled with the recalls of the prior year's ??" that's my complaint.
