1998 Chevrolet Silverado 2500

1998 CHEVROLET K2500. FOR SOME TIME NOW THE TRUCK HAS HAD AN INTERMITTENT WINDSHIELD WIPER ISSUE (DOES NOT WORK WHEN WET.) 03/25/2009 THE WIPERS STOPPED WORKING WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN THE RAIN CAUSING A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT CHEVROLET HAS AN ONGOING REPUTATION FOR THIS ISSUE AND HAVE RECALLS ON EARLIER YEAR MODELS BUT THEIR POSITION IS THAT THESE PROBLEMS ENDED 1997. *TR

CONSUMER COMPLAINED ABOUT WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR PROBLEM. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL WORK, AND THEN INADVERTENTLY STOP WORKING. CONSUMER CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER, AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING ELSE THEY COULD DO. *AK ... CONSUMER CONTACT CHEVROLET AND PROVIDED VIN, BUT WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL APPLICABLE TO MAKE/MODEL, AND YEAR. *AK

WIPER MOTOR - CIRCUIT BOARD DEFECTIVE. EARILER RECALL, BUT ENDED IN 1996 FOR THE SAME THING. 98 NOT WITHIN DATES, SO OWNERS FOOT THE BILL ($130.00). VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION CAUSED BY THIS PROBLEM, AS THE WINDSHIELD WIPER WILL STOP WHILE DRIVING. MAY TAKE MINUTES TO HOURS FOR THEM TO COME BACK ON. LOST VISIBILITY DURING STORM WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE. A GODSEND WHERE THE REFLECTORS ON THE LANES, SO YOU COULD GET SAFELY OFF THE ROAD.*AK

PASSENGER SIDE DEFROSTER DOES NOT WORK. I WAS TOLD THIS WAS A NORMAL CHARACTERISTIC OF THE TRUCK AND IT WAS NOT A PROBLEM BY BUFFORD WARD CHEVROLET IN QUINCY ILLINOIS 62301. IT IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE OUT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY WINDSHIELD WHEN THE WEATHER IS BAD OR THERE IS ICE ON THE WINDSHIELD. THERE ARE VENTS FOR THE DEFROSTER AND HARDLY ANY AIR COMES OUT OF THEM. THE DRIVERS SIDE WORKS FINE. I CHECKED TWO OTHER 1998 CHEVROLET TRUCKS ON THE LOT AND THEY BOTH HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I FEEL THIS IS VERY UNSAFE. I AM AN ILLINOIS STATE TROOPER AND I HANDLE MANY ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF OBSTRUCTED DRIVERS VIEW. I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR EARLIEST RESPONSE.
