THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WORK INTERMITTENTLY. THE WIPER MOTER CAN BE HEARD TRYING TO ENGAGE THE WIPERS, BUT FAILS TO DO SO. IF THE CAR IS DRY PRIOR TO RAIN, THE WIPERS SOMETIMES WILL WORK. IF THE CAR IS OUT AND IS WET, THE WIPERS WILL NOT WORK. THE WIPERS WILL SOMETIMES FAIL ONCE IN USE. I HAVE CONTACTED CHEVROLET, TO WHICH THEY SAID THEY CAN'T INCLUDE THE CAR IN THE RECALL ALTHOUGH IT SEEMS TO BE THE SAME PROBLEM. OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED IN THE RECALL. WE TOOK DELIVERY OF THE CAR ON APRIL 29, 1994.*AK

I FOUND ON THE NHTSA WEB SITE THAT A RECALL WAS INSTITUTED FOR THE WINSHIELD WIPER MODULE FOR 1994 SUBURBAN'S. I WASN'T NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH I A MODULE FAILURE AS DESCRIBED AND I HAVE A 1994 SUBURBAN. I CALLED CHEVROLET AND THEY SAID THAT MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT WITHIN THE SPECIFIED PERIOD AND I COULD NOT BE REIMBURSED FOR REPLACING THE MODULE. IS THIS CORRECT? *AK
