Suburban 8-cyl

Wiper motor fail. 2001 Suburban 6.0L V8. Wiper motor fail. The wiper motor in my truck always fails. The last time it failed was September 27th 2010 during a heavy rain storm. To make a long story short I almost ran over a pedestrian, and ended up on the sidewalk. (technically that is a crash) the wiper motor just stopped while it was raining. Last year during heavy snow the motor failed again. I had to pull over for an hour until the storm was over. Not to mention numerous other times as well. This motor fails a lot I lost count. The events that lead up to the failed wiper motor are rain, snow, sleet, sometime the motor fails during a sunny day and no moisture in the air or failed just to clean your window. Nothing has been done to correct the wiper motor failure because it's too expensive for me; General Motors should fix this serious problem before someone get killed.
