problem #2

Nov 172005

Suburban

  • 140,000 miles
The contact owns a 1999 Chevrolet Suburban. The contact noticed that her windshield wipers would turn on and off automatically after she manually activated the wipers. The wipers would stop moving, but she could hear the windshield motor still running. The vehicle has not been taken to the dealer. A friend of the contact, who is also a mechanic, stated that the circuit board was the cause of the failure. The manufacturer stated that the VIN was excluded from NHTSA campaign id number 03V159000 (visibility:windshield wiper/washer) because of the model year. The current mileage was 215,638 and failure mileage was approximately 140,000.

Windshield wipers work when they want to, when it rains they don't work and when it's dry they do...you can hear the motor trying to work but nothing happens. This has been going on for almost a year now and is happening much more frequently now.
