When activated, windshield wipers operate erratically and may shut off without warning. The erratic behavior happens throughout the year but appears worse (especially shutting off unexpectedly) in warm weather. Recently I have found that turning the wipers to high will usually restart them after they shut off. Erratic behavior during intermittent operation includes multiple wipes (sometimes more than 10) per cycle. This problem has been present for approximately the last 30,000 miles (I am currently at 72,500). I am estimating the incident date below around the first time I noticed the problem. The date is accurate +/- 6 months. I have not yet contacted the dealer about the problem. I am planning to do so either today (1/2/03) or tomorrow.

Windshield wipers fail to operate at times and at other times they won't shut off - mechanic has said this is very common is Chevy and seems to be related to a faulty control module which tends to crack and allow water into the module which will keep the wipers from functioning properly only when there is rain, fog, humidity. Seems to be related to the recall issued in 1996 but did not extend to later models.

Windshield wipers.this is evidentually a defective part if it fails within 3yrs, and is replaced at owner expense, sometimes going through several expense before corrected. Componet "wiper mogular" fails causing on visability with rain, fog-up, etc. While vehicle is moving, causing total suprise and emergency action to avoid collision, run off road, as you cannot see. Something should be done as some drivers cannot react safely. Thanks.

Windshield wipers fail to operate at times and at other times they won't shut off. The local Chevrolet dealership replaced a the multi function switch which still hasn't corrected the problem. The service manager stated that they have replaced several of those switches in the past but would not commit to a number. I also own a 1998 GMC jimmy which is the same basic vehicle. It is experiencing the same type of problems which leads me to believe there is a wide spread problem. I also spoke with another jimmy owner who reported wiper problems also. I contacted Chevrolet customer service and reported the problem. I believe if you check you will find that many GMC and Chevrolet vehciles have experienced wiper related problems. In addition, both of my vehciles have oil leaks coming from the hoses that go from the engine to the remote oil filter assembly. I am told by a GM dealership employee that this is a common problem. I appreciate your attention in this matter. Thank you!
