Defect. ON CERTAIN MINIVANS, PICKUP TRUCKS, AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES WITH CERTAIN MODEL-ENGINE COMBINATIONS, THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR MAY FAIL DUE TO CRACKED SOLDER JOINTS ON THE CONTROLLER CIRCUIT BOARD. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS COULD WORK INTERMITTENTLY OR NOT AT ALL.

Risk. IF THIS WERE TO OCCUR DURING BAD WEATHER, DRIVER VISIBILITY WOULD BE REDUCED, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE WIPER MOTOR CIRCUIT BOARD AND COVER. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN ON JUNE 19, 2003. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT CHEVROLET AT 1-800-222-1020, GMC AT 1-800-462-8782, OR OLDSMOBILE AT 1-800-442-6537.

WELL THIS HAPPENED ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND I HAVEN'T HAD THE MONEY TO GET THIS TCHECKED OUT. I WAS GETTING SOME OMNEY OUT OF A FRONT POCKET AND HEARD A SNAP AND CRACK FROM UNDER THE DRIVERS FRONT SEAT. WELL I HAVE TO PUT MY BENCH SEAT (EXTRA CAB SEAT) DOWN TO SUPPORT MY DRIVERS SEAT BECAUSE IT IS BECOMIN G UNSAFE TO DRIVE WITH OUT THE BACK SEAT DOWN. NO SUPPORT NOW FOR THE DRIVER. UPON STARTING FROM A DEAD STOP, THE DRIVER IS FORCED BACK AND THE SEAT BACK FOLDS BACK. I KNOW OF ANOTHER COWORKER WHO IS EXPERIENCING THIS SAME PROBLEM ON A 19'94 CHEVROLET 4X4 EXTRACAB.*AK

Reading 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.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
