Consumer already performed recall 03V159000 repairs concerning windshield wiper/washer motor. Original invoice was send to the manufacturer in August 2003, and was still waiting for reimbursement.
Coming to a stop on a dry road, the pavement surface changed from dry asphalt to dry, cracked concrete. Anti-lock kicked in when not needed and I almost rear-ended the vehicle in front of me. Later that day, in a driving rainstorm, the windshield wiper motor stopped (for about the 50th time) and I was unable to see in front of me. I had to pull over and manually tug the wiper blade to get the wipers to work again. Both these are recurring incidents and I have complaints on file with GM, who has a recall on both issues that year "but not on my vehicle".

My windshield wipers don't come on sometimes and sometimes they do. I know two other people withe the same van and same year with the same problem. The moter had a rod knock when I purchased it, but there was a thick liquid added to the oil so I never heard it unti I had an oil change. After the engine was rebuilt the first time, while driving it, I had another rod knock but this time it was alot louder and caused more damage to the motor. I still sometimes hear a knocking noise, but the dealership keeps telling my that it's something vibrating.
