1994 CHEVROLET K20 Complaints
THE WINDSHIELD WIPER BECAME VERY IRRATIC AND EVENTUALLY QUIT IN NOV 96. WARRANTEE WOULD NOT COVER IT SO I REPLACED IT AT MY OWN EXPENSE. THE SECOND WINDSHIELD WIPER IS CURRENTLY DOING THE SAME AS THE FIRST, VERY IRRATIC AND QUITS ALL OF A SUDDEN, PUTTING MY LIFE IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. MY 95 BLAZER HAD A RECALL ON THE SAME EXACT WINDSHIELD WIPER MODULE THAT I HAVE REPLACED. I HAD THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP CHEC THE PART NUMBER ON MY 94 CHEV PU, AND IT'S THE EXACT SAME AS FOR THE BLAZER, YET CHEVROLET SAYS THE VIN # ON MY PU IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. THE VIN NUMBER HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE WIPER MOTOR OPERATION IF THEY ARE THE SAME P/N. CHEVROLET STILL WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. CHEVROLET GIVE ME A CASE # OF 980818166. ANY ASSISTANCE WOULD BE APPREICATED BEFORE SOMEONE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM GETS HURT OR KILLED BECAUSE THEY CAN'T SEE DURING A SNOW OR RAIN STORM.;
