WINDSHIELD WIPERS ARE INTERMITTENT. FIRST TIME IT FAILED WAS WITH A LIGHT RAIN. I TURNED THEM ON AND THEY WORKED BUT THE NEXT TIME, THEY DID NOT. ONE TIME, IN A HEAVY RAIN, I HAD TO WAIT BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT WORKING. A THIRD TIME, IT ONLY STARTED WORKING AFTER I WENT OVER RAILROAD TRACKS. I TALKED TO A FRIEND AT WORK WITH A 95' TAHOE THAT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPEN TO HIM IN A RAINSTORM AND HE TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON A MODULE THAT CONTROLS THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS. I CONTACTED A DEALER TO COME IN AND GET IT FIXED AND HE TOLD ME THAT MY VEHICLE HAD NO RECALL FOR THE MODULE. I ALSO TALKED TO ANOTHER PERSON WHO HAD TWO 95' TRUCKS THAT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND HE HAD TO ALSO PAY FOR THE MODULE HIMSELF BECAUSE THERE WAS NOT RECALL FOR HIS TRUCK. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN YOUR WIPERS DON'T WORK.

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS HAVE FAILED ON NUMEROUS OCCASSIONS WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. THIS WILL ALSO OCCUR IF THE TRUCK IS STOPPED. AT FIRST IT APPEARS TO BE A LOOSE OR INCOMPLETE CIRCUIT. HOWEVER, TALKING TO A FRIEND WHO HAS A TRUCK SAME YEAR AND MODEL HAS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. HE TOOK HIS TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPAIRED IT. HE DID NOT KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THEY HAD DONE TO THE TRUCK BUT SAID THEY REPLACED SOME PARTS. THEY ALSO CHARGED HIM FOR THE SERVICE. INDISCUSSING THIS PROBLEM WITH OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM, THE PROBLEM IS AS FOLLOWS: THERE IS A FAIL;URE IN THE CIRCUIT BOARD ON THE WIPER MOTOT ASSEMBLY. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY MATTER AND SHOULD BE A RECALL AND REPAIR AT NO COST. IT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO SEE, EVEN TO PULL OFF THE ROAD, IN A DRIVING RAIN. THANK YOU .
