WINDSHIELD WIPERS DON'T WORK HALF THE TIME. SOMETIMES THEY WORK FINE, SOMETIMES THEY DON'T EVEN START (JUST GET A GRINDING SOUND FROM THE WIPER MOTOR), AND SOMETIMES THEY WORK AT FULL SPEED WHEN SET TO SLOWEST SPEED. C SERIES TRUCKS HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM, BUT WHEN CHEVY CUSTOMER SUPPORT WAS CONTACTED, THEY SAID IT DIDN'T APPLY TO THE K SERIES (4 WHEEL DRIVE) AND THAT I WAS OUT OF LUCK. C SERIES WAS RECALLED FOR SAME PROBLEM IN SEPTEMBER OF 1998. THE ORIGINAL MALFUNCTIONING PART WAS REPLACED ON THIS TRUCK IN FEBRUARY OF 1997 WITH THE SAME MALFUNCTIONING PART. IN MY OPINION, SINCE THE RECALL OF THE CSERIES WASN'T UNTIL 9/98, THEN THE PART THAT WAS REPLACED WAS THE EXACT SAME MALFUNCTIONING PART. WHAT I WANT TO KNOW IS WHY WERE ONLY THE CSERIES TRUCKS RECALLED IF IT WAS A PROBLEM COMMON TO ALL OF THE CHEVY TRUCKS? *AK
