NHTSA Complaint #10096079 — 1998 CHEVROLET S10

MY WIPERS QUIT WHENEVER THEY FEEL LIKE IT, ESPECIALLY IN A POURING RAIN, OR THEY WILL NOT COME ON AT ALL! THERE IS ALSO A PROBLEM WITH THEM NOT GOING OFF WHEN TURNED OFF. I HIT A DEER BECAUSE THE WIPERS WOULD NOT TURN OFF AFTER USING THE WINDOW WASHER TO CLEAN MY WINDOW IN MY GARAGE. AFTER MANY ATTEMPTS TO TURN THEM OFF, I PROCEEDED TO DRIVE THE 20 MILES TO MY JOB SITE. ON THE WAY, I HIT A DEER. IT COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE, THE ONCOMING PICKUP COULD HAVE BEEN WHAT I HIT. PLEASE, THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION! AFTER READING 21 PAGES OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME THING, I WOULD THINK THAT SOMEONE WOULD TAKE THIS AS A SERIOUS SUBJECT.
