I would be surprised if this problem is unique to GM.
While that's true, I still think it is something that GM needs to check out. It's piddly problems like that that annoy the hell out of people who have to bring their car to the dealer, explain the problem, leave the car, get a ride home/work and then pick up the car and have them say "could not duplicate the problem"! That may well be true, but the fact is, the customer would not have brought the car in in the first place if there wasn't a problem! This could be a potentially serious situation if the wipers stopped working altogether. WHY not just replace the part in question and return the part to the manufacturer so they can test it at THEIR facility and see what the problem is? Then again, in this throw away society, no one can be bothered to see if there is a defect. Just throw the part out and replace it and hope the replacement one works better!
