I HAVE A 1995 CHEVROLET LUMINA APV. I HAVE HAD WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR PROBLEMS SINCE JUST AFTER IT BECAME OUT OF WARRANTY. I TOOK IT TO MY DEALER THE FIRST TIME IT STARTED FAILING. THE SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD ME THAT THERE WERE MANY PROBLEMS WITH THE GM VANS WIPERS. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE IS NOT PART OF THE 1.7 MILLION RECALL EVEN THOUGH THE PARTS DEPARTMENT TOLD ME THAT IT IS THE SAME PARTS THAT SHOULD BE REPLACED. THE MODULE WSW PULSE CONT. IS #12463090 AND THERE IS A SILICONE SEALANT THAT IS ALSO USED, # 12345739. I HAVE HAD SOME RATHER HARROWING EXPERIENCES IN RAIN STORMS IN MY TRAVELS WHEN THE WIPERS, IF I CAN GET THEM STARTED, JUST STOP SUDDENLY. I WAS A CHEVROLET DIVISION EMPLOYEE FOR 17 YEARS AND A DEALER FOR 10 YEARS. I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. MY DEALER IS BILL BUCK CHEV. IN VENICE, FL. MY SERVICE ADVISOR FOR MANY YEARS HAS BEEN MARK NEMER. *JB

Across model years
Worst on record: 1993Reading this record
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
