1993 Chevrolet Suburban Visibility

THE WINDSHIELD WIPER QUITS WORKING WHEN IN USE. THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR 03V159000, BUT THE MODEL YEAR WAS OUTSIDE OF THE REMEDY SCOPE. *PH *CB *JB

CONSUMER STATES WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. AS A RESULT, SOMETIMES WINDSHIELD WIPERS WORK, AND SOMETIMES THEY DO NOT WORK. WHEN THE INDICATOR IS TURNED TO THE OFF POSITION WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL WORK. THEN, THERE ARE TIMES WHEN CONSUMER CANNOT TURN THEM OFF. CONSUMER'S HUSBAND RECEIVED A RECALL ON CHEVROLET, SUBURBAN,1994, BUT CONSUMER HAD NOT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ON HER CHEVROLET, SUBURBAN,1993. HUSBAND HAS NOT HAD A PROBLEM WITH HIS VEHICLE, BUT SHE HAS.*AK

INTERMITTENTLY, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS BECAME INOPERABLE, OBSTRUCTING THE DRIVER'S VIEW. THE DEALER STATED THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE. A RECALL HAD BEEN ISSUED ON SIMILAR MAKES AND MODELS, HOWEVER THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED DUE TO THE VIN. *AK *SCC *JB

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WORKED INTERMITTENTLY, THERE WAS A RECALL REGARDING THE ISSUE, HOWEVER THE VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED. *JB

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS DON'T WORK ALL THE TIME. SOMETIMES THEY WORK AND OTHER TIMES THEY DON'T. USUALLY AFTER DRIVING A WHILE THEY SOMETIMES TURN ON.

REFERENCE: NHTS CAMPAIGN ID 98V150001. INTERMITTENT OPERATION OF WINDSHIELD WIPERS APPEARS AS DESCRIBED. I CAN GET TEMPORARY FUNCTIONING BY SLIGHTLY DISPLACING THE WIPER MOTOR UNIT AND ITS RELATED CONNECTOR STRONGLY SUGGESTS THAT THE PROBLEM IS SIMILAR, IF NOT IDENTICAL, TO THOSE DIFFICULTIES AS RELATED TO THE REFERENCE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID 98V150001.*AK

THE FIRST FAILURE WAS TRAVELING WEST OF DENVER, CO. IN A SNOW STORM WITH HEAVY, FAST TRAFFIC, AND THE WIPERS STOPPED IN MID CYCLE. THE SECOND WAS IN HEAVY RAIN, TRAVELING ON I-35 IN JUNE, 2001. I TALKED TO A FRIEND WHO ALSO OWNS A SUBURBAN AND HE SAID HE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. HE THOUGHT GM HAD A RECALL, BUT I CALLED THE DEALER, AND THEY SAID THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR MY MODEL OF SUBUBAN.*AK

FAILURE HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING IN RAIN AND SNOW CAUSING US TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IN DANGEROUS CONDITIONS, INCLUDING ONE BLIZZARD. AFTER WIGGLING WIRES OR POUNDING ON THE WIPER MOTOR IT USUSALLY WOULD WORK FOR A WHILE. HAVE HAD OTHER OWNERS OF CHEVY SUBURBANS AND TRUCKS TELL US THEY HAD THE SAME TROUBLE.*AK

WHEN DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH LEFT HAND SIDE REARVIEW MIRROR CAME APART, CAUSING GLASS FRAGMENTS TO FLY IN ROAD, AND CAUSING A HAZARD TO OTHER MOTORISTS.

WINDSHIELD WIPPERS STOP WORKING WHEN IM DRIVING, AND THE DEALER THEY SAID WAS A RECALL BEFORE BUT THEY SAID THAT I HAD TO PAY BECAUSE I DID NOT TAKE THE TRUCK WHEN THEY MADE THE RECALL. BUT I BUY THE TRUCK USED AND I DON'T KNOW IF THE PRIOR OWNER RESPOND TO ANY RECALL. AND THEN I E MAIL CHEVROLET AND THEY SAID THEY DON'T HAVE A RECALL FOR THAT TRUCK.*AK
