I HAVVE A '94 CHEVY Z71 4X4 SILVERALDO PICK UP, THE WINDSHEILD WIPERS WORK WHEN THEY WANT TO! SOMETIMES I CAN GET THEM TO COME ON. THEN SOMETIMES THEY COME ON WHEN THEY WANT TO. ALOT OF TIMES THEY JUST STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHEILD. IT WAS MANUFACTURED IN 08/93. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. SO I WENT AHEAD AND PAID $58.00+ FOR A NEW CIRCUT BOARD FOR THE WIPER MOTOR. IT SEEMED TO HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM. WE WILL SEE WHEN I REALLY NEED THEM THE MOST. I FEEL MY ISSUE SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE GM RECALL NO. 03023. I AM SURE THERE ARE MORE CUSTOMERS WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM. IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE!!!!! TO SAY LEAST. *AK
