It appears to be some sort of condensation.

The windshield wipers do not function properly. The wipers fail to turn off when the wiper switch has been turned to the off position. I later found that there had been a recall issued for this failure mode in this vehicle make and model, but my VIN is not included in the recall notice. I believe that the failure mode I am experiencing is the same as that described in the recall notice (NHTSA #04V046000) and believe the recall should be expanded to cover my vehicle.

The windshield wipers on my 2003 Chevrolet Trailblazer ls would continuously operate once activated and would not stop unless the car was turned off. Inspection by a Chevrolet dealership found that water had gotten into the wiper motor and shorted it out. Chevrolet had issued a recall (04V046000) for this exact malfunction in 2004. However, they refused to repair the malfunction as should be required as the malfunction was the fault of the manufacturer. Chevrolet claimed that my car's VIN was not identified to have this problem associated with it and couldn't be repaired at their expense. This explanation is clearly ridiculous as the malfunction I was experiencing was the exact type they had identified for that make/model/year. While no accident occurred, the malfunction of the wiper in a critical moment such as during a storm could have caused problems. The dealership replaced the motor and I had to pay out of my own pocket for their refusal to stand by their product.

It was a snowy day and I had my front windshield wipers on. When the snow stopped I tried to turn them off but they would not stop. I was on a business trip and ended up having to pull the fuse to stop them. I was forced to only drive the car when wipers were not necessary or have them on all the time. I took the car into the local dealer and they said I needed a new wiper motor and module. I looked up for recalls and found one that seemed to cover my situation but was told by the dealer and GM customer service that my particular VIN number was not included even though it was the same year, make and model. Obviously I have to go ahead with the repair regardless. Dealer has ordered the part and it should be ready in 2 days.

The contact pulled the fuse on the windshield wipers. The windshield wipers intermittently did not stop, they were continually running. The windshield wiper switch could be turned off and the wipers would still be working. They were beginning to scratch the windshield. The contact spoke to dealership and GM. They claimed this vehicle was not included in NHTSA recall 04V046000. Due to VIN.

Consumer states: The windshield wipers will not shut off, turned on during a rain storm, and cannot get them to turn off without pulling the fuse.

Our windshield wipers were inoperable. The wiper switch was turned on with absolutely no response from the wipers. The dealership has replaced it. However, other electrical problems keep occurring. For example, our air conditioning switch malfunctioned, the onstar did not send tracking information properly, the alternator needed to be replaced, and the fan for the heater would not work at any speed except low. We have only had this vehicle since August. I am thinking that this in an electrical problem instead of each individual piece being faulty. Please let us know if you are hearing more of the same types of information.
