MY WIPERS WORK AT TIMES, HOWEVER MOST OF THE TIME I CANNOT GET THEM TO WORK AT ALL. I HAVE THE SAME YEAR MAKE AND MODEL THAT IS INCLUDED IN RECALL# 03V159000. HOWEVER, ACCORDING TO MY VIN, MY TRUCK IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. THE RECALL IS DUE TO A DEFECT WHICH IF PRESENT WILL CAUSE YOUR WIPERS TO DO EXACTLY WHAT MY WIPERS ARE DOING. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY THE SAME ISSUE ON MORE VIN'S THAN ORIGINALLY CONSIDERED. GM/CHEVROLET SHOULD DO THE RIGHT THING AND REPLACE ALL OF THESE DEFECTIVE WIPER MOTOR COMPONENTS. IT IS TOO DANGEROUS TO BE DRIVING IN THE RAIN AND ALL OF A SUDDEN YOUR WIPERS STOP WORKING FOR THEM NOT TO. *TR
