NHTSA Complaint #10149556 — 1997 CHEVROLET BLAZER

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 1997 CHEVY S-10 BLAZER. A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO I NOTICED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD WORK SPORADICALLY, AND SOMETIMES NOT AT ALL. I RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND FOUND ON DIFFERENT INTERNET FORUMS THAT OTHERS HAD AN ISSUE WITH THIS TOO. I THEN DID A RECALL SEARCH AND FOUND NOTHING UNDER 1997 CHEVY BLAZER, HOWEVER, UNDER 1997 CHEVY S-10 (MY BLAZER IS THE S-10 MODEL) A RECALL PERTAINING TO EXACTLY WHAT I AM EXPERIENCING (NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 03V159000). I THEN PROCEEDED TO CONTACT MY LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER, AND WITH NO AVAIL, WAS TOLD THAT MY PARTICULAR MODEL WAS NOT INCLUDED. SO I THEN CONTACTED CHEVROLET DIRECTLY, AND AGAIN WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT SUBJECT TO THIS PARTICULAR RECALL. IN THE RECALL SUMMARY, IT STATES "ON CERTAIN MINIVANS, PICKUP TRUCKS AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES." I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THIS MATTER TAKEN CARE OF WITHOUT ANY FINANCIAL IMPACT ON MY PART. OBVIOUSLY I AM EXPERIENCING EXACTLY WHAT THE RECALL STATES. *JB
