Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The windshield wipers of our 1998 tahoe stopped working. sometimes we would have to push them to get them started, other times we would have to jiggle the wiring to get them going. they would sometimes work for the remainder of the trip, other times they would stop every few minutes. there is no consistency to when they will work. we were stranded out of town in a heavy rainstorm. this is the same problem as the 94-97 recall and needs to be included. i spoke with chevrolet and a local dealer. both acted like they knew nothing about the problem until i mentioned the prior recall, then they just said we were not covered. this is a serious safety problem and chrvrolet needs to be held accountable for fixing the problem. *jb
