1995 Chevrolet C1500 complaints

WHILE DRIVING WINDSHIELD WIPERS MALFUNCTIONED BECAUSE OF A DEFECTIVE CIRCUIT BOARD. THIS MAY CAUSE VISUAL DIFFICULTY AND RESULT IN A CRASH. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS DEFECT, BUT THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SUBJECT TO RECALL DUE TO VIN. *AK BECAUSE OF INSUFFICIENT INVESTIGATION THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED FOR RECALL. *YH

EXPERIENCING EXACTLY THE SAME SYMPTOMS OF RECALL 98V150001 BUT WAS TOLD BY CHEVROLET THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT PART OF RECALL.

I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN FOR REPAIRS. THE PROBLEM WAS EXACTLY WHAT WAS INVOLVED IN THE RECALL, BUT VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. REPAIR COST $125.00 BUT SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED. I AM REQUESTING BROADENING OF CAMPAIGN 98V150001 AND REIMBURSEMENT. I NOTICED FROM YOUR WEBSITE THAT MANY OWNERS WERE TOLD THAT THEIR VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED.

DRIVING APPROX. 50MPH IN RAIN AT DUSK ON BUSY FREEWAY. WIPERS SUDDENLY QUIT. BLIND! TOOK TO LOCAL AUTO REPAIR. MECHANIC COMMENTED FAILURE IS COMMON FOR THIS MODEL VEHICLE (FOUR OR FIVE PER MONTH IN A LITTLE TOWN OF 3,000!) SEEMS LIKE MY "NEAR MISS" MAY NOT BE AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. MFG. NOTIFIED. WAS DIPLOMATIC, BUT UNRESPONSIVE.

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.
