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 owns a 1998 GMC Sonoma. In March of 1998, the windshield wipers began working intermittently. In November of 2008, while driving approximately 60 mph in the rain, the windshield wipers stopped working completely. The vehicle was driven to the dealer and they stated that the wiper module and wiper motor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer stated that the vehicle was too old for them to be liable for the repairs. The current mileage was 137,000 and failure mileage was 10,000.
My truck has 70,000 miles and it has problems with the windshield wipers. This has been going on for a couple of years. You can hit on the inside of the motor and it will start working. I can be driving and all of a sudden they will quit. I have noticed that a lot of people have this problem.
