Windshield wiper comes on and off intermittently while traveling in inclement weather.

- Carroll, OH, USA

I called GMC and told them about the wiper motor problem, they said that my trucks' VIN number was not part of the recall that had been done on other 1996 GMC Sonomas of the same year. My truck has the same exact problem as the other 1.2 million recalled S10 & S15 trucks but GMC Corp. Says that it is not related. ( NHTSA recall #98V150001) I feel that the recall needs to be expanded to cover trucks of the same year that have the same problem. The GMC recall is for trucks build from 8-94 to 5-96. The recall needs to be expanded because several vehicles have been left out.

My windshield module went out and I was told that GMC had problems with their modules, I went on line and found out that the recall was stopped the prior year to my vehicle being built. I took it to my mechanic and the told me that even though the recall ended GMC still had severe problems with later model vehicle with the same wiper module defect. I called GMC and they could supply no explanation as to why the recall stopped even though the problems continued. Thanks john miller.

Windshield wiper circuit board failed prior to recall notice 98V-150. Nlm

Windshield wiper motor works intermittently, electrical problem related to positioning of motor(electric). I was told by an autoparts dealer that they have had a lot of complaints of bad motors. I know of two friends with similar vehicels (Chevy Blazer and Chevy S-10 truck) who have the exact same problem. Wipers will work fine sometimes and then just stop in mid-stroke. I was driving in rainy conditions when first occurred. I moved wiring and the wipers would cut on and off, I found that it is the wiper motor housing and not the wires. Wedged a stick between wiper motor and housing and they worked for a while. This is a common problem specifically to this style of vehicle and potentially a very hazardous one too. If all of the auto parts dealers are acknowledging this is true maybe something should be done about it before people are killed because of windshield wiper failure!

The dealer said that my vehicle was not covered because my VIN did not cover dates of manufacture. However my problem is exactly the one described in the recall notice. GMC also said my VIN was not covered under the recall.

- Snellville, GA, USA

My vehicle is not covered by multiple recalls because it is not in the GMC list of vehicles per its VIN number. This is, inspite of the fact that the exact same problem has been noted other Sonoma recalls. This same problem has also been involved with the 1995-96 GMC jimmys of which the Sonoma is virtually the same in the engine compartment. GMC as well as the dealer have refused to acknowledge that there is a problem with the windshield wiper system of this vehicle, even though information from this site was presented to both the GMC. Dealer and the GMC customer assistance center. I was told by the assistance center that I should have it fixed as if there is an accident now they are on record as stating that they recommended having it repaired. But they refused to include this vehicle in the general recall.
