Build Years/Makes/Models:	2002 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER 360
Occurances:
Reference Number:	10165073
Summary:	(1) THIS COMPLAINT RELATES TO THE FRONT WIPER MOTOR ON A 2002 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE PARTIAL FAILURE OCCURS WHEN THERE IS LIGHT TO MODERATE INCLEMENT WEATHER (RAIN,SNOW,ETC.) AND THE INTERMITTENT SETTING IS USED ON THE FRONT WIPERS. (2) THE WIPERS ON ALL OF THE INTERMITTENT MODES ARE VERY WEAK, AND STRUGGLE TO RETURN TO THEIR RESTING POSITION AFTER THE SWEEP ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD. THE WIPERS "CHATTER" ON THE WAY DOWN FROM THEIR UPWARD POSITION, CREATING HAZARDOUS VISUAL CONDITIONS. THE WIPER MOTOR IS VERY UNDER POWERED, AND CLEARLY NOT FUNCTIONING AS IT SHOULD. THE RESULT IS INEFFECTIVE CLEARING OF WATER FROM THE WINDSHIELD ON THE INTERMITTENT SETTING, WHICH MAKES DRIVING DIFFICULT. (3) GM HAD A PREVIOUS RECALL (NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 04V046000, GM RECALL NUMBER: 04005) TO FIX A PROBLEM RELATING TO MOISTURE ENTERING THE FRONT WIPER MOTOR AND CAUSING A FAILURE. THIS RECALL HAS BEEN PERFORMED ON MY VEHICLE, BUT CLEARLY THE RECALL HAS NOT FULLY REMEDIED THE PROBLEM. I FEEL THAT ALL FRONT WIPER MOTORS SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACE, NOT JUST "INSPECTED" AND PATCHED. DAMAGE MAY HAVE ALREADY OCCURRED TO THE MOTOR DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE RECALL WAS NOT ISSUED UNTIL TWO YEARS AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS BUILT/SOLD. I CONTACTED GM TO SEE IF I COULD GET THE MOTOR REPLACED FREE OF COST EVEN THOUGH MY CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, AND WAS TOLD IT COULD NOT BE DONE. I NOW MUST PAY FOR AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY GM AT NO COST TO THE OWNERS OF THE VEHICLE. *JB
