1998 CHEVROLET BLAZER Visibilitywindshield Wiperwasher Problems

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1998 CHEVROLET BLAZER. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE WINDSHIELD WIPER BLADES STOPPED WORKING WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED BY THE DEALER ON TWO OCCASIONS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 180,000.

INTERMITTENT WINDSHIELD WIPER. FAULT DUE TO FAULTY CIRCUIT BOARD WHICH FIXED PROBLEM. GM WAS AWARE OF DEFECT BUT REFUSED TO GUARANTEE REPAIR ON THIS MAKE AND MODEL SINCE THEY ONLY COVERED UP TO YEAR PRIOR TO 1998. *TR

I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM THAT MANY OTHER BLAZER OWNERS HAVE WITH THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS. AS THE OTHER COMPLAINTS EXPLAIN, THEY TURN OFF AFTER MINUTES OF USE, AND SOMETIMES WILL TURN RIGHT BACK ON, BUT USUALLY STAY OFF FOR A WHILE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1998 CHEVROLET BLAZER. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH IN THE RAIN, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS MALFUNCTIONED. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OVER UNTIL THE RAIN STOPPED. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WORKED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN INSPECTED BY A DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 57,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1998 CHEVROLET BLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WORKED INTERMITTENTLY. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE 1996 CHEVROLET BLAZER, NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 03V159000 (VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER). THE PURCHASE DATE WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 117,000. UPDATED 01/02/08. *4200 THE CONSUMER STATED HAS 2 CHEVROLET BLAZERS WITH THE SAME INTERMITTENT DEFECT. UPDATED 12/12/07 *TR

WINSHIELD WIPERS WORK WHEN THEY WANT TO. INTERMITTENT CONTROL IS INOPERABLE EXCEPT AT HIGHEST SETTING AND USUALLY SHUTS OFF COMPLETELY DURING HEAVY DOWN POURS. *JB

WINDSHIELD WIPERS WORK WHEN THEY WANT. AT TIMES THERE IS NO PROBLEM AT OTHER TIMES THE STOP IN MID CYCLE AND AT OTHER TIMES THE SPEED CONTROL WON'T ALLOW THEM TO SHUT OFF. THIS NORMALLY OCCURS DURING A DOWNPOUR. I HAVE LOOKED AT THE OTHER COMPLAINTS AND WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW MANY IT TAKES BEFORE NTSB DECIDES TO MAKE GM REPAIR AN OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL. *JB

ISSUES ONE WOULD NOT EXPECT FROM A 20K PLUS VEHICLE INCLUDING WINDSHIELD WIPER BLADE FAILURE TODAY ("NEAR MISS" ACCIDENT FROM HEAVY RAIN AND TRAFFIC), SMOKE EMITTING FROM STEERING COLUMN, CONTINUOUS INTERMITTENT REPETITIVE SOUNDS EMITTING FROM TURN SIGNAL CONTROLLER(S). SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS HAVE ALL PREVIOUSLY BEEN DESCRIBED IN GREAT DETAIL BY OTHER OWNERS AS: AN INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ISSUE, WIPER CONTROL BOARD, VARIOUS CONNECTORS AND OR HARNESS, MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH, SMOKE CONCERNS ETC. LISTED FROM COMPLAINTS FROM ODI CASE NUMBERS: 743685, 10014026, 10023129, 10030946, 10036610, 10045357, 10060630, 10066061, 10086138, 10086896, 10098912, 10103977, 10112458, 10137415, 549079, 847885, 866953, 874993. *JB

1998 CHEVY BLAZER WITH MULTITUDE OF PROBLEMS, WHICH CHEVY DENIES. INCLUDING WIPER FAILURE, BRAKE FAILURE, COMPLETE CORROSION OF ANYTHING TOUCHED BY DEXCOOL, AND ON AND ON. VERY UNSAFE VEHICLE!!!!! *NM

1998 CHEVROLET BLAZER WINDSHIELD WIPER FAILURES 1) WIPER OPERATION HAS BEEN INTERMITTENT AND DOES NOT ALWAYS FUNCTION WHEN WIPER CONTROLS ARE EXERCISED. OCCURRENCE OF THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE THIS VEHICLES' INITIAL PURCHASE IN 12/97. 2) WIPER FAILURE HAS RESULTED IN UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITIONS AND NEAR COLLISIONS WITH OTHER VEHICLES. 3) INITIAL INVESTIGATION HAS DEEMED POTENTIAL CAUSES OF FAILURE TO BE CRACKED SOLDER JOINTS IN WIPER MOTOR CIRCUIT MODULE AND/OR DEFECTIVE WIPER CONTROL SWITCH. CORRESPONDING CORRECTIVE ACTION IS REPLACEMENT OF BOTH: WIPER MOTOR CIRCUIT MODULE AND WIPER CONTROL SWITCH. *JB

DT*: THE CONSUMER STATED THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR WORKED INTERMITTENTLY. THERE IS A NHTSA RECALL, # 03V159000, REGARDING THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR. THE CONSUMER EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM AS INDICATED IN THE RECALL; HOWEVER THE VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER AND MODEL YEAR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. *JB

MY 1998 BLAZER HAD A WIPER FAILURE DURING THE FIRST RAINSTORM OF THE CALIFORNIA YEAR YESTERDAY. FORTUNATELY, I WAS OFF THE FREEWAY AND ONLY A MILE OR TWO FROM HOME. THE WIPERS WOULD NOT WORK. THIS MORNING, THEY DID. I SAW THAT THIS IS A FREQUENT PROBLEM WITH THE 1998 BLAZER. *JB

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WORK WHEN THEY WANT TO, THEY QUIT AT ANYTIME THEN START WORKING AGAIN THEN QUIT. THERE IS NO DELAY, LOW, OR HIGH THEY WORK ON WHAT EVER LEVEL THEY WANT TO. I HAVE CALLED LOCAL DEALERS AND THERE IS A RECALL FOR OTHER MODELS OF VEHICLES EXCEPT FOR 1998 FOR THE SAME REASON.( IT IS GOING TO COST $200.00 PLUS TO FIX) I WENT OFF THE RODE TODAY ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY BECAUSE OF THE WIPERS STOPPING IN A DOWN POUR. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESS AS I SEE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. *JB

DT: THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS DO NOT WORK PROPERLY. THERE HAS BEEN NO ACCIDENTS AS OF NOW. THE CONSUMER HAS NOT TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO BE REPAIRED AS OF YET. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE 9-1-02. *AK *MR

VEHICLE: 1998 CHEVY BLAZER 4DR 4X4 4.3L VORTEC V6 EVENTS LEADING UP TO FAILURE: NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS FAILURE(S): THERE ARE TWO PRIMARY CONCERNS WITH THIS VEHICLE: 1) FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT WORK, IT WILL REPORT COMPLETE FULL AND WHEN VARYING AMOUNTS OF FUEL THE FUEL GAUGE BOUNCES AROUND(USUALLY BETWEEN HALF AND FULL, BUT SOMETIMES BETWEEN E AND FULL) I AM FORCED TO USE TRIP ODOMETER AND APPROXIMATE FUEL ECONOMY TO DETERMINE TANK LEVEL. I HAVE HEARD SEVERAL TO MANY ANECDOTAL STORIES OF OTHER CHEVY VEHICLES EXPERIENCING THE SAME SYMPTOMS. 2) THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WORK SPORADICALLY. CURRENTLY WHEN OPERATING IN 'INTERMITTENT' MODE, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL BEGIN TO OPERATE IN CONTINUOUS, REGULAR SPEED AND WILL NOT TURN OFF WHEN SWITCH TURNED TO 'OFF' POSITION. SITUATION WILL OCCASIONALLY CORRECT ITSELF AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES. OTHER TIMES I AM REQUIRED TO STOP, PARK, AND TURN OFF THE VEHICLE BEFORE RESTARTING IT TO TURN THE...

SAME COMPLAINT AS DOCUMENTED IN CHEVROLET S10 BLAZER RECALL 03023 BUT THAT IS LIMITED UP TO AND INCLUDING 1997 AND MY VEHICLE IS A 1998.....*JB

THE CONSUMER'S FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPERS ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. ONLY THE DRIVER'S SIDE WIPER WORKS AND IT GETS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD WHEN USED. SOMETIMES THE CONSUMER HAS TO STOP, EXIT THE VEHICLE AND TOUCH THE WIPERS TO GET THEM TO WORK PROPERLY. *NM

1) WINDSHIELD WIPERS NOT WORKING CONSISTENTLY IF THEY WORK AT ALL. HAVE HAD TO STOP DRIVING DURING THE RAIN OR SNOW BECAUSE OF INABILITY TO SEE. 2) TURN SIGNAL MAKES CLICKING SOUND EVEN WHEN NOT IN USE. *JB HAVE PAID TO HAVE THE PROBLEMS REPAIRED TO NO AVAIL. THEY BOTH CONTINUE TO MALFUNCTION.

WE BOUGHT A 1998 CHEVY BLAZER ON DECEMBER 1, 2204, THE ALTERNATOR WAS BAD, THE WIPERS WON'T WORK, WIPER MODULE, AND OIL LEAKS FROM THE OIL COOLER. DRIVERS SIDE DOOR LEAKS AIR BADLY. *NM WIPERS QUIT WORKING IN THE MIDDLE OF A SNOW STORM, ALMOST CAUSING ME TO WRECK THE VEHICLE.

THE WINSHIELD WIPERS HAVE A MIND OF THEIR OWN. SOMETIMES THEY WORK AND SOMETIMES THEY ONLY WORK ON THE HIGHEST SPEED. I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT NO RECALL IS AVAILABLE FOR THIS YEAR. THIS IS ONE OF MANY REASONS TO BUY A HONDA OR A TOYOTA.*AK

I OWN TWO 1998 CHEVROLETS; ONE IS A BLAZER, THE OTHER AN S-10 PICK-UP. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS IN BOTH FAIL PERIODICALLY. I SEE THAT CHEVROLET ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS DEFECT IN 1998, BUT IT ONLY COVERS THROUGH 1997 MODELS. SHOULDN'T THIS APPLY TO MY VEHICLES? *JB

I'VE SEEN SEVERAL RECALLS FOR WINDSHIELD WIPER FAILURE/STOPPAGE DURING RAINS, BUT NOT THE THE '98 BLAZER. MINE WORKS, BUT ONLY WHEN IT'S NOT RAINING. IT FAILS REGULARLY WHILE IN USE. ANY IDEAS ?*AK

FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPERS WORK FINE IF TURNED ON AT THE FIRST INDICATION OF RAIN. THEY CONTINUE TO DO SO NO MATTER HOW SEVERE THE RAIN. BUT WHEN VEHICLE IS STOPPED AND IGNITION IS TURNED OFF AND THE IGNITION IS AGAIN TURNED ON AND IT IS STILL RAINING THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON THE FRONT WILL NOT TURN ON.*AK

1998 CHEVY BLAZER. WINDSHIELD WIPER FAILURE. THE WIPERS ONLY WORK WHEN THEY FEEL LIKE IT. THEY OFTEN DON'T WORK WHEN IT'S RAINING, OR JUST STOP BY THEMSELVES. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND SHOULD BE RECALLED LIKE THE PREVIOUS YEARS HAVE BEEN. *JB

WHILE DRIVING, IN INCLEMENT WEATHER, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED TO COME ON. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE MECHANIC PLACED THE VEHICLE ON A DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE, BUT THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. *AK *TC *JB

AFTER PURCHASE FROM DEALER WE NOTICED THE WIPERS WOULD NOT STOP IN THE OFF POSITION BUT THEY WORKED FULL-TIME. ABOUT 5 MONTHS AGO THEY PROCEEDED TO WORK INTERMITINLY AND WE COULD SOMETIMES GET THEM STARTED BY RAISING THE ARMS UP AND DOWN MANUALLY AND NOW THEY BARELY WORK AT ALL. LAST INCIDENT WE WERE IN A DOWNPOUR AND THEY WON'T COME ON AT ALL EVEN IF WE TRY MOVING THE BLADES UP AND DOWN WITH OUR HANDS.SINCE THAT TIME, ONCE AGAIN WE CAN SOMETIMES GET THEM TO MOVE. THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IN OUR OPINION.*AK

WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOP WORKING WHILE DRIVING. DEALER HAD NOT REMEDY OTHER THAN INSTRUICTING US TO "JIGGLE" A SPECIFIC WIRE UNDER THE HOOD.*AK

THE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY BECAUSE THE AIR BAG SENSOR IS BAD AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. ALSO, AT 30,000 MILES THE WINDSHIELD WIPER TURNS ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY WITHOUT BEING ENGAGED. THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE FOR THE EARLY MODEL YEAR. *AK THE DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO REPLACE THE WIPER CONTROL MODULE. CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE AIR BAG SENSOR, WHICH THEY PERFORMED BUT THE AIR BAG IS STILL INOPERATIVE. *BF *NM

AS I WAS DRIVING MY 1998 BLAZER MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING IN THE MIDDLE OF A THUNDERSTORM IN UPSTATE NEW YORK. I HAD NO PREVIOUS PROBLEMS WITH THEM. BEFORE THEY STOPPED WORKING I HAD THEM ON A CONTINUOUS SETTING AND THEY WERE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THEY ACTED AS IF THEY WERE SET ON INTERMITTENT. LUCKILY THERE WERE NO OTHER CARS AROUND ME AND I COULD SAFELY PULLOVER AND WAIT OUT THE STORM. I TOOK THE CAR INTO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT OLDER MODELS WERE RECALLED FOR THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM BUT MINE WAS NOT.*AK

10/10/2001 REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR - IT WAS OVER CHARGED AND WENT BAD! NOTICED SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS TOO! 12/20/2001 WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING IN HEAVY RAIN. THEN WHEN MOTOR TURNED OFF AND ON AGAIN THEY WORKED, THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING ON AND OFF SINCE THAT TIME, BUT TODAY 06/26/2004 THEY JUST STOPPED ALL TOGETHER - NOTHING HELPED. HAD TO HAVE THE SAME SOLDERING REPAIR DONE AS IN THE 1995 -1997 CHEVROLET S-10 / BLAZERS - WHICH I MIGHT ADD WAS A RECALL. THE SAME PARTS ARE USED IN MOST 1998'S AS WELL. THE RECALL NEEDS TO INCLUDE ALL OF THE COMPONENTS, NOT JUST A FEW OF THEM! ALSO I HAVE HAD SEVERAL DASH PARTS BREAK LOOSE - LIKE THE HATCH DOOR RELEASE / BACK WIPER CONTROL IS JUST SITTING THERE - NOTHING HOLDING IT IN. THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT RECLINER HANDLE FELL OFF - HAD IT PUT BACK ON AT...

WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON 1998 CHEVY BLAZER AGAIN FAILED TO WORK DURING A RAIN SHOWER. FORCED ME TO PULL OVER TO SIDE OF ROAD TO WAIT FOR RAIN TO SUBSIDE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS STILL IS NOT A SAFETY RECALL CONSIDERING EARLIER MODEL BLAZERS WERE RECALLED FOR THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM.*AK *JB

1. DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEAT RECLINER LEVERS HAVE BROKEN OVER LAST FEW YRS, DRIVERS SIDE REPLACED 3 TIMES, I HAD TO PAY 100. DEDUCTIBLE TO FIX EACH TIME. 2. FUEL GUAGE INDICATOR SHOWED FUEL TANK 1/'2 FULL, NO GAS IN THE TANK,CAR STOPPED IN A DARK STREET IN AN UNSAFE PART OF TOWN, HAD TO PAY $100. DEDUCTIBLE TO FIX, NO WARNING LIGHTS TO SHOW GAS EMPTY, CAR JUST SUDDENLY STOPPED. 3.REAR TRUNK LATCH WOULD NOT WORK, HAD TO PAY DEDUCTIBLE FOR DEALER TO FIX. 4. WINDSHIIELD WIPER MECHANISM STOPPED WORKING, DEALER REPLACED AFTER WE PAID DEDUCTIBLE. 5. CURRENTLY THERE IS A RUBBING NOISE FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL WHEN PEDAL DEPRESSED, CAR NO LONGER UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY, WAS BROUGHT TO DEALER'S ATTN SEV TIMES BEFORE WARRNTY EXPIRED, DEALER MECH COULD FIND NO PROBLM. *AK

WHILE DRIVING IN INCLEMENT WEATHER, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED. THE CONSUMER WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND DROVE IT TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *AK THERE WAS A RECALL ON OTHER GM VEHICLE, HOWEVER THIS YEAR VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED. *JB

WIPERS FAILED CAN'T SEE IN THE RAIN. *LA

WIPERS WORK ONLY WHEN THEY WANT. LAST 2 EVENINGS, OUT OF TOWN, VERY LATE, MIDDLE OF MAJOR STORMS...NO WIPERS! HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. BUT, WHEN I WANT TO WASH MY WINDSHIELD...THEY WORK! *LA

INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD STOP WORKING. *LA

DAILY, FLASHER UNIT CONTINUES TO CLICK WITH TURN SIGNALS OFF. UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS, WIPERS FAIL TO TURN OFF ON THEIR OWN. UNDER WET DRIVING CONDITIONS, WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAIL COMPLETELY. HAVE TO USE THE MIST OR WASHER FLUID FUNCTION TO GET WIPERS TO WOPRK WHEN RAINING. AFTER SEARCHING FOUND THAT 1995 MODELS WERE RECALLED FOR THIS SAME ISSUE WITH THE WIPERS.*AK

WHILE DRIVING OVER BUMPS AND USING THE WINDSHIELDS WIPERSS, THEY WILL STOP FUNCTIONING WITHOUT WARNING. *AK

WIPERS ARE WORKING RARELY AND DIRECTIONAL SOUNDS WHEN DIRECTIONALS ARE OFF.*AK

1998 CHEVROLET BLAZER. WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING WITHOUT WARNING. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM FOR US SINCE WE LIVE IN ONE OF THE SNOWY STATES. VERY DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING IN A SNOW STORM AND THEY QUIT WORKING. *JB

1998 CHEVROLET BLAZER. WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOP WORKING WITHOUT WARNING. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ABOUT 10 MONTHS. EARLIER AND LATER BLAZERS HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS PROBLEM, BUT NOT THE 1998 MODEL YEAR. I BELIEVE THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO INCLUDE 1998 MODELS.

-- PASSENGER SIDE RECLINER HANDLE BROKE -- FRONT BRAKE PADS AND ROTOR HAVE HAD TO BE REPLACED TWICE IN THE 6YRS OF OWNERSHIP -- WINDSHIELD WIPER WORKS ERRATICALLY (STOPPING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDOW) -- THE EXTRA HEAVY DUTY BATTERY DIED AFTER 3 YRS OF OWNERSHIP -- THE ALTERNATOR HAD TO BE REPLACED. *JB

WITHOUT ANY WARNING DRIVER COULD NOT STEER THE VEHICLE. IT WAS TOWED TO A DEALER, WHO FOUND THAT THE RACK AND PINION HAD TO BE REPLACED. ALSO, WINDSHIELD WIPERS OPERATED INTERMITTENTLY. *AK

I RECENTLY BOUGHT A 1998 CHEVROLET BLAZER VIN # [XXX] AND AM CURRENTLY EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPERS COMING ON THEIR OWN AND WHEN BEING USED THEY WILL STAY ON FOR SEVERAL MINUTES AFTER THEY ARE SHUTOFF. SOMETIMES THEY JUST STOP WORKING AND "PARK" IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD OBSTRUCTING THE VIEW OF THE ROAD.*AK INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE IN THE RAIN THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED, CAUSING THE DRIVER TO PULL OFF THE ROAD. *PH THE SWITCH FOR THE WIPERS HAD BEEN REPLACED. THERE WERE 3 PREVIOUS YEAR MODELS OF THE BLAZER WHICH HAD BEEN RECALLED FOR FAULTY WIPER MOTORS. *SC *JB

WINDSHIELD WIPERS SOMETIMES DONT WORK. *AK

WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED WINDSHIELD WIPERS WORK INTERMITTENTLY. RECALL ON 1994-1997 VEHICLES OF THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL WAS ISSUED. HOWEVER, THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL DUE TO VIN. *AK

WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR FAILS. WIPERS WORK INTERMITTENTLY OR NOT AT ALL IN THE RAIN. MY SON'S 1996 BLAZER HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND HE RECEIVED A RECALL. I CALLED THE CHEVROLET CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAVE NOT HAD ANY NOTIFICATION FROM NTMVS ON 1998 BLAZERS YET. I THINK THIS RECALL SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO 1998 BLAZERS. THIS IS VERY SERIOUS. *LA

WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE IN THE RAIN WINDSHIELD WIPERS WORKED INTERMITTENTLY. *AK

WINDSHIELD WIPERS WORK SOMETIMES, THEN OTHER TIMES WILL NOT WORK. I'VE READ ON MESSAGE BOARDS THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE WIPER CONTROL BOARD IN THE WIPER MOTOR FOR 1997 BLAZERS, BUT NOT FOR 1998. *LA
