1998 CHEVY. SILVERADO P/U TRUCK. WIPERS BEGAN STOPPING IN JULY 2005. HAVE TO STOP IN DRIVING RAIN TO MOVE WIRES AT CONTROL/MOTOR OUTSIDE. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, NO PLACE TO STOP. SAFETY OF SELF AND FAMILY IN EXTREME DANGER. WEB IS FULL OF COMPLAINTS YET NO RECALL, OR IS THERE? PLEASE ADVISE ASAP. I AM TIRED OF JEOPARDIZING MY LIFE AND THAT OF MY FAMILY DUE TO GM FAILURE TO NOTIFY ME AND THOUSANDS OF OTHERS OF THIS PROBLEM AND PROPER WAY TO REPAIR. DOES NOT OCCUR JUST ONCE, BUT ALMOST EVERY TIME WIPERS ARE REQUIRED. NEXT QUESTION ABOUT INCIDENT DATE IS MISLEADING-DOES NOT OCCUR JUST ONCE, BUT MANY TIMES. *JB
