In owners' own words
Dt: the caller received recall on one of his vehicles, but not the other. He said they both had the same problem with the windshield wipers not always working. They worked intermittently. The part in recall was the wiper motor. Manufacturer said the vehicle in question was not in recall. Dealer said they wont fix vehicle for free without recall letter.

Intermittently windshield wipers quit working in the middle of operation. After a few minutes, operation continued. Problem has been reported to the dealership/manufacturer. However, problem has not been corrected.. *Ak the dealer states that the wiper controller card need to be replaced. The card was defective at the time of this vehicle purchase. Visibility
The windshield wipers on my 95 C1500 works randomly at best. The pump for the fluid also only works some of the time. Some times I'll turn of the wipers and it will take up to a minute for them to start working,other times they work fine and then still other times they don't work at all. Fluid haven't come out of the pump for the last 4 months at all. Visibility · reported at 186,320 miles
