1994 CHEVROLET S10 Visibilitywindshield Wiperwashermotor Problems

I BOUGHT A USED 1994 S-10. I FOUND OUT THE WIPERS DON'T WORK OR QUIT WORKING AFTER A FEW MINUTES OF RAIN OR WHEN IT IS REALLY HUMID OUTSIDE THE DON'T WORK EITHER, SO I LOOSE CONTROL OF VEHICLE, BECAUSE I TRY TO PULL OVER BUT CANT SEE WHERE TO PULL OVER, EXAMPLE TREES SIGNS CURVES. I UNDERSTAND THAT A LOT OF OTHER VEHICLES WHERE INVOLVED IN THE WIPER RECALL, AND WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT MINE DOES NOT QUALIFY DUE TO THE VIN #. REGARDLESS THE WIPERS ARE THE PROBLEM THAT THEY DID THE RECALL ON. PLEASE HELP AND GIVE ME SOME ADVICE ON WHAT TO DO NEXT. DEALERSHIP OR GM DOD NOT WANT TO TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM AND THAT IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION.*AK

MY 1994 CHEVROLET S-10 WIND SHIELD WIPERS COME ON WHEN THEY WANT AND GO OFF WHEN THEY WANT. THEY COULD CAUSE A SEVERE HAZARD WHILE DRIVING IN ADVERSE CONDITIONS. CHEVROLET HAS A RECALL ON THE SAME PROBLEM FOR 1995 AND ABOVE AND THEY WON'T FIX OUR PROBLEM. THE PROBLEMS ARE THE SAME AND CHEVROLET SAID, "THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE"! ASSISTANCE WOULD BE APPRECIATED. THANKS, STEVE HALLMAN [email protected]. *NLM

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS DID NOT FUNCTION AT VARIOUS TIMES. *JB

THIS IS IN REFERENCE TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 98V150001. I ACCIDENTALLY CAME ACROSS THIS WEBSITE AND FOUND THIS CAMPAIGN NOTICE FOR 1995 CHEVROLET S-10 MODEL PICK UPS AND NEWER. I OWN A 1994 S-10 AND AM EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS. DID NHTSA LOOK AT THE 1994 MODELS SINCE THEY ARE THE SAME BODY STYLES? I'M SURE OTHER 1994 OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS. THANKS

WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAIL INTERMITTENTLY, SOMETIMES THEY WORK...SOMETIMES THEY DON'T, WHEN DRIVING IN THE RAIN THEY MAY QUIT WORKING AT ANYTIME (SOMETIMES IN A DOWNPOUR) SOMETIMES I CAN GET THEM TO WORK AGAIN BY YANKING ON THE BLADES, SOMETIMES NOT. EXPERIENCED SAME PROBLEM 3 YEARS AGO AND HAD STAR CHEVEROLET REPLACE THE "BLACK BOX" MOTOR ($300.) AND NOW THEY'RE FAILING AGAIN.....MECHANINC AT THE TIME SAID "TOO BAD THIS TRUCK ISN'T A 95 OR 96 CAUSE THOSE MODELS WERE RECALLED.....WHEN ASKED WHY THE 94'S WERE NOT INCLUDED, HE REPLIED "PROPBABLY NOT ENOUGH COMPLAINTS" MY MAIN CONCERN IS SAFETY FOLLOWING ANOTHER REPLACEMENT OF THE WIPER MOTOR, HOW CAN I BE ASSURED WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN, THE WIPERS WON'T STOP WORKING AT ANY TIME? IN ADDITION, A $300 EXPENSE EVERY COUPLE YEARS JUST TO BE ABLE TO SAFELY DRIVE IN THE RAIN SEEMS A BIT INAPROPRIATE TO EXPECT THE CONSUMER TO ENDURE THE...

WINDSHIELD WIPERS INTERMITTENTLY WORK DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER. VISIBILITY IS REDUCED, AND THIS POSES AN UNREASONABLE RISK TO SAFETY WHEN WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAIL. DEALERSHIP HAS NOT EXAMINED THE VEHICLE FOR THIS PROBLEM, AND INFORMED CONSUMER THAT VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL CAMPAIGN 98V150000 DUE TO VIN. *AK *YH

WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL QUIT WORKING, IF I WIGGLE THE WIRE CONNECTOR GOING INTO THE MOTOR THEY WILL START WORKING AGAIN. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THERE IS A RECALL OF THESE WIPER MOTORS BUT WHEN I CONTACTED G.M. THEY SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL AND I WAS NOT GOING TO BE HELPED .

WINDSHIELD WIPERS ARE INTERMITENT AND DON'T WORK AT ALL TIMES. *AK

WINDSHIELD WIPERS HAD NOT BEEN WORKING ON OCCASION. I WENT TO THE CHEVROLET DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT OTHER CHEVROLET TRUCKS HAD BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS SAME THING, BUT MY TRUCK DID NOT HAVE THE RIGHT VIN NUMBER TO GET IT REPLACED. THEY WANTED SOMETHING LIKE $250 FOR THE SAME THING THAT WAS BROKEN ON ALL THE OTHER CHEVROLET S10. A WIRE IS LOCATED BADLY AND IT BREAKS OR SHORTS OUT OR SOMETHING. I CAN NOT AFFORD THAT. THEN ONE DAY GOING 60 MPH IN A POURING RAIN STORM THEY COMPLETLY SHUT OFF. WE COULD NOT SEE A THING. WE HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WE WERE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING! PER THE SEAT BELTS. THEY LOCK AND WITH EVERY MOVE, OR BREATH THE SEAT BELT TIGHTENS AND CHOKES AND SQUEEZES THE PASSAGER UNTIL YOU HAVE TO TAKE IT OFF,...

WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL INTERMITTENTLY STOP WORKING. DOES NOT SEEM TO BE ANY SPECIFIC CONDITIONS THAT CAUSE THE FAILURE. SOMETIMES THE WIPERS WILL WORK FOR A FEW MINUTES THEN QUIT, THEN BEGIN WORKING AGAIN. THIS HAPPENS IN ALL MODES; INTERVAL SETTINGS, LOW SPEED, HIGH SPEED AND WHEN ATTEMPTING TO USE THE WINDSHIELD WASHER. THIS SITUATION IS ADDRESSED IN RECALL 98V150001 BUT DOES NOT COVER MY VEHICLE AS THE RECALL BEGINS WITH TRUCKS MADE ON OR AFTER 8/94; MY S-10 WAS BUILT 5/94. THERE ARE APPARENTLY OTHER OWNERS WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME SITUATION WHOSE VEHICLES FALL OUTSIDE THE RECALL COVERAGE (THEY WERE BUILT BEFORE 8/94). EXTEND THE RECALL COVERAGE DATE TO COVER THESE OLDER VEHICLES.*AK

I WOULD LIKE INFORMATION ON HOW OR WHAT I CAN DO TO INITIATE AN INVESTIGATION INTO WHETHER OR NOT THE SAME PART WAS USED IN THE '94 MODELS AS WAS USED IN THE '95-'97 MODELS. *AK

WIPER QUIT WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN. HAD TO PULL ON THE BLADE ARM. THIS IS A CONSTANT PROBLEM, NOW THEY DON'T WORK AT ALL.
