I AM THE NEW OWNER OF A 1998 CHEVY K1500 Z71. MY GIRLFRIEND AND I WERE GOING TO A FOOTBALL GAME AND SHE TRIED TO CLEAN THE WINDSHIELD AND THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD NOT WORK. TWO DAYS LATER I WAS COMING HOME WHEN A RAIN STORM STARTED I TURNED ON THE WIPERS AND THEY DID NOT WORK. AFTER GETTING OUT OF VEHICLE AND PICKING UP THE WIPER BLADES THEY STARTED TO WORK. WHEN I GOT HOME I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE, AND MY GIRLFRIEND GOT INTO THE TRUCK TO LEAVE AND TAKE DAUGHTER HOME AND THE WIPERS DID NOT WORK. PICKED UP WIPERS AND THEY WORKED ONCE AGAIN. MY GIRLFRIEND SAID WHILE SHE WAS OUT WIPERS KEPT GOING OFF AND ON EVEN WITH THE CONTROL TURNED TO ON. AT ONE POINT SHE HAD TO PULL OVER IN HEAVY RAIN FOR FEAR OF HAVING A WRECK BECAUSE SHE COULD NOT SEE AND THE WIPERS HAD CUT OFF. WHEN SHE CAME HOME, SHE LOOKED ON THE INTERNET FOR RECALLS AND CAME ACROSS INFO ON OTHER 1998 CHEVY K1500 OWNERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. SHE COPIED ONE RECALL BUT MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. RE: RECALL 98 V 150 001/WINDSHIELD WIPER WIRING: WIPERS WORK INTERMITTENTLY, THIS CAN RESULT IN INOPERATIVE WIPERS, REDUCING A DRIVER'S VISIBILITY, AND INCREASING THE RISK OF A VEHICLE CRASH. WILL IT TAKE SOMEONE GETTING KILLED FOR A RECALL TO BE PUT OUT??
