MY WIPERS WORKED INTERMITTENTLY. IF I GRABBED THE BLAKES, AND SHOOK THEM, THEY WOULD USUALLY START WORKING AGAIN. THEY WOULD SOMETIMES JUST STOP WORKING IN A RAIN DOWN POUR. VERY DANAGEROUS!!!! I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL PUT OUT ON MOST CHEVY P/U'S AND UTILITY VEHICLES. IT LOOKS LIKE ALL BUT MY 1995 C1500. SURELY THEY ALL HAVE THEY SAME WIPER SYSTEM COMPONENTS AS MINE (AT LEAST THE TAHOE AND SURBURBAN). WAS MINE NOT RECALLED BECAUSE OF SOME BEAN COUNT OR IS IT INFACT DIFFERENT THAN THE OTHERS? I DO KNOW THERE ARE OTHER FOLKS WHO HAVE THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL AS MINE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE ALSO GOTTEN CONFLICTING STORIES. MY DELEARSHIP SAYS THERE IS NO RECALL ON MINE VEHICLE, BUT A WEBSITE (WWW.ALLDATA.COM) SAYS THERE IS. I CALLED A 1-800 NUMBER FOR CHEVROLET, AND THEY TOLD ME I WOULD HAVE TO CONTACT MY DEALERSHIP.
