WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED DURING A RAIN SHOWER, WHILE IN TRAFFIC. I IMMEDIATELY HAD TO PULL OFF THE ROAD AS I HAD PROBLEMS SEEING ONCOMING TRAFFIC.. THEN THE WIPERS STARTED TO MOVE ERRATICALLY AND THEN STARTED OPERATING AS FAST AS THEY COULD, WITH NO CONTROL BY THE WINDSHIELD WIPER KNOB. AFTER THE RAIN STOPPED THE WIPERS WOULD NOT TURN OFF. I HAD TO REMOVE THE FUSE TO STOP THEM. WHEN I GOT HOME, I REPLACED THE FUSE BUT THE WIPERS WOULD NOT OPERATE THEN. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A REPAIR SHOP. THEY TOLD ME I HAD WIPER MOTOR PROBLEMS AND THAT A RECALL HAD BEEN INSTITUTED FOR THE SAME PROBLEM BY HUMMER BUT MY VIN WAS NOT INVOLVED IN THE RECALL. I BELIEVE MY PROBLEM IS AN EXTENSION OF THE RECALL. *TR
