Consumer Description

1998 CHEVY S-10 PICKUP. WINDSHIELD WIPERS ONLY FUNCTION INTERMITTENTLY, OR SOMETIMES NOT AT ALL. IF THEY DO FUNCTION, THE INTERMITTENT FEATURE DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. THE WIPERS OFTEN STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD. I HAVE CALLED A DEALER REGARDING REPAIR, WAS TOLD THAT ONLY 1996 AND 1997 S-10S WERE INCLUDED. I CALLED CHEVY CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY SAID THE SAME THING. DEALER TOLD ME IT WAS A CIRCUIT BOARD IN THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR AND I COULD DO IT MYSELF FOR ABOUT 100 DOLLARS. GM SHOULD BE FIXING THESE ON THE 1998S BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT.
