Chevy Tahoe Wipers

Charles of Plainville CT (4/5/04):
Two defects. One -- my windshield wipers stopped for no apparent reason. Happens occasionally. Also replaced manifold gasket due to the use of dexcool. truck had 58,000 on it. cost $413.00.

David of Sanger TX (11/14/03):
I'm the owner of a 1999 Tahoe. I'm having trouble with the windshield wipers stopping intermittently or not starting at all. GM has recalled some vehicles for this but not mine. My dealer said my vehicle takes the same part number as the recalled vehicles.

The dealer informed me that they could repair my wipers for a charge of $65+ for parts plus labor. I called GM trying to get some assistance with my repair but was told my vehicle didn't have the recall so I should just pay my local dealer to repair the wipers and save the receipt in case it was recalled in the future. Then GM would reimburse for repair.

To me this is a cop-out -- they need to recall the other vehicles with this problem. I can tell from your Web site and others that I'm not the only one having the same problem.

Ed of Franklin LA (8/28/03):
I went into Columbia Chevrolet because of the recall for windshield wipers on the Chevy Tahoe and other SUVs. I was told that my vehicle was not included. I then got on the Internet at www.ConsumerAffairs.com and found that there was an extgended recall for windshield wipers for Tahoes for 1998.

I have a great concern as I ride down the highway that I will have no windshield wipers. They come on sometimes and sometimes they don't.
