| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: On several occasions my windshield wipers did not work according to the setting on the windshield wiper control. many times the wipers would go on and not shut off and many time the wipers would not go on at all. over the span of 18,000 miles the effect have been dangerous to my personal safety. on sunny days when applying the windshield washer, the wipers would not operate. this causes me to pull over and pull on the windshield wipers until they start and then they do not turn off. on rainy days, they turn off without warning causing me to pull over on the highway and risk being hit due to a driver side vehicle exit on busy highways to manually clean the window or wait until the rain stops. i have had the control replaced at a cost of over $300 but the problem still persists. i have been told the motor needs to be replaced due to faulty connections from the pulse controller board and the wiper motor. this is a major safety flaw in the vehicle and must be corrected by gm. i hope you can help all the owners of vehicles using ac delco part number 15036008 wiper motors. many complaint have been documented and it is time that the nhtsa protected the drivers of the vehicles effected regardless of the pain caused to gm. if it saves only one life it is worth it. how many people have died and have not been able to document the problem due to their deaths? how many complaints does it take before you take action against an obvious safety flaw in a vehicle? this must be addressed. *nm |
