Maybe I was doing it wrong, but there didn’t seem to be any wiper recalls for 1998 ‘burbs. Pete Cresswell
Response:
Perhaps there we none then. But at least you know where to go to reference recalls now. Still, the circuit board is the problem and not the motor itself. It’s much cheaper than the entire motor and if you’re up to it, you can disconnect the battery, remove the cover, take out the board and solder it yourself. Then it’s free.

Response:
IMHO it isn’t necessarily the manufacturers that are so much the problem. I believe they, for the most part, attempt to put out a quality product. As with anything that drives the economy they must build in some planned obsolecense. That doesn’t mean they build things just so they break down on us and then stick us with the bill. That’s why they have warranty programs and service contracts and so on. Also there are government agencys that monitor safety (NHTSA) of the vehicles. The problem I see too often is the dealers that try to tell you that you have to pay for 15 different things because they think this is what the problem is. They tell you that you have to replace the wiper motor when they know full well there is a KNOWN problem with the circuit board. They sell you a whole motor and make more money from the sale and installation of the motor than they do from selling a replacement circuit board. They are more worried about making that commission from the sale of parts and labor than the satisfaction of their customers that trust them to tell them what the problem really is. Again if you or anyone you know is having problems with the wipers have a look at this from a previous post of mine. Go to http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/problems/recalls/recall_links.cfm and click on the Recall Searches by Make, Model, Year link and put in your info. It will tell you the specifics about the recalls. Print it out and take it to your dealer.

Response:
Don, Obviously you’re are not familiar with the situation one bit. Let me explain. GM produced millions of trucks with a PC board that was so thin it flexed as the wiper motor operated. This caused cracks in the solder which made the motor operate randomly. Of course, when you are moving at 70 mph and encounter rain and turn you wipers on and nothing happens, you immediately realize it is an extremely dangerous situation. When first confronted, GM flat-out lied. Then they tried to hush it up. If it weren’t for people like me and many others who turned the maggots into NHTSA, they would still be denying it. NHTSA investigated, determined it was a manufacturing defect from the factory and not a wear or maintenance item and forced GM into a recall campaign.. By law, this can only be done when it has been determined that a serious safety issue exists that affects public safety.

I know this is not going to be popular here but, Anything other than the radio going bad could be considered a *safety hazard*. How long is a manufacturer supposed to warranty something? I would think 3yrs 36000miles is a plenty. If they choose to go 7yrs/100,000 miles to match Dodge, so be it. I welcome it. BUT Going back and covering every vehicle on a small problem like this no matter how old is ridiculous and costs tons of money. Who ultimately pays for this? Everything that breaks could ultimately be blamed on defects in design or manufacture. They HAVE to draw the line somewhere. JMO. db

I was told Screw You too. Mine’s a 92 K2500. Too early…but same problem. Odd? Maybe…but it’s so easy to fix and I knew about the issue before I bought the durn thing (owned an 89 before this one and replaced that control board too), so I say I am responsible because I had a choice. But I think it very unfair for you…if that means anything. LOL BTW…the resolder directions do work and they really do take more than 5 minutes…mine took more like an hour of my time to remove the board, re-solder, then replace the board. But still rather easy IMHO. HH

If my problem is this problem, I would like a repost of that. I have a 93 GMC 2500 with 5.7 and manual 5 speed. Here’s what mine do: I turn the washer lever and get nada. Sometimes I hear a little cycling of something, as if the wipers are trying to start, but that’s all that happens. I did discover that when I torque the drivers’ blade some, usually push it down toward the cowl a little, it then works fine. Also sometimes just driving it a while will cure it. Makes me think it’s maybe a micro switch that senses where the wipers are? Anyway, messing with the blade a little always makes it work, but when it begins to rain again, I’m sure this will be a real drag. Sound like the printed circuit board thing?

Response:
I was one of the first group of people who had the problem, asked GM about it, got lied to time after time after time and then finally turned the scumbags into NHTSA. This was in ‘97. Once we pointed out to NHTSA that it was a safety item, NHTSA made it a mandatory recall campaign. That is, GM had to send letters to all affected. But campaigns are limited to those that GM and NHTSA decide must be included. Obviously, you and lots of other people are continuing to have the problem. So you must bug NHTSA constantly, tell them it’s the same issue as the recall campaign they already had, and that another one including the later models should be mandated. The more you bug them, the more likely they are to do something.

See www.nhtsa.com. This is a safety recall and if the dealer refuses to fix it, NHTSA will take your complaint. They can also tell you if your truck is covered under the current recall. Alternatively, you can buy the new thicker printed circuit board and wiper motor cover for $40 and replace them yourself. About a 20 minute job.

Response:
I think that if your VIN number isn’t one that was affected by or included in the recall you have no recourse. Typically they’ll base the highest VIN affected by the recall on when a new part entered the production run to replace the defective part, I see no other reason for having a restricted number of vehicles affected by a recall other than there was a run of bad parts or a replacement was put in place for a poor design. Yours probably was built after this point.. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – > I did write the NHTSA concerning this but havent received a reply yet. > Both a dealer and a no customer service agent with GM told me my truck > was not effected… funny how mine does the exact thing that all the > recalled ones do.
