| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have a 1998 gmc s-15 jimmy. i've had a periodic problem with my windshield wipers not working. sometimes they won't come on at all when i need them; at other times they're working and stop working while i'm driving in the rain. this is extremely dangerous and has left me stranded in places waiting for them to start working again. at other times i've had to continue driving without wipers until i could find a place to pull over. i see from internet forums that this appears to be a common problem. in fact, gm recalled 1994-1997 models to replace the circuit board. however, the 1998 model has the same parts and the same problem, but they will not do anything. the dealer will not acknowledge that there's a problem with them, nor will gm customer service. i'm having this repaired at my own expense, but that does not address the issue of a known problem that could have more serious consequences before a person has an opportunity to get it repaired.*ak |
