1998 CHEVROLET BLAZER Complaints

WHILE DRIVING IN INCLEMENT WEATHER WINDSHIELD WIPERS CAME ON AND OFF. DEALER WAS AWARE THIS WAS INTERMITTENT PROBLEM. CONSUMER DROVE VEHICLE TO DEALER FOR INSPECTION, AND MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *AK

MY WINDSHEILD WIPERS IN THE FRONT AND REAR BEGAN BY ONLY FAILING TO WORK WHEN IT WAS RAINING, AND NOW THE FRONT WIPERS DO NOT TURN ON AT ALL. YOU CAN HEAR THE MOTOR TURNING ON, BUT THE WIPERS DO NOT MOVE.*AK

RIGHT SIDE FRONT WHEEL HUB NEEDED TO BE REPLACED A 3RD TIME D/T BEARING WEAR. MECHANIC FELT THAT THE NUMBER OF REPLACEMENTS IN THIS SHORT PERIOD OF TIME WAS NOT COMMON. SUGGESTED THAT I REPORT TO GM. PHONED GM, TOOK REPORT. STATED THAT THIS WAS NOT A RECALL-ABLE ISSUE.*AK

WHILE DRIVING, THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED TO WORK PROPERLY IN RAINY WEATHER. *JB THE DEALER REPLACED THE WIPER MODULE. *NM

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

WINDSHIELD WIPERS DID NOT WORK. ALSO, THE HANDLES ON THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEATS BROKE, AND WATER PUMP WAS DEFECTIVE.*AK

WHILE DRIVING CONSUMER WAS STOPPED BY POLICE DUE TO THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE AND PASSENGER'S SIDE BRAKE LIGHTS AND HAZARD LIGHTS BEING OUT. CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION MECHANIC INFORMED THE DRIVER THAT THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT ON A RECALL. CONSUMER HAD TO PAY FOR REPAIRS. *AK THE CONSUMER STATED THAT THE LOWER BRAKE LIGHTS WERE IN-OPERATIVE. *TC

SMOKING FROM THE STEERING COLUMN WHEN TURN SIGNAL IS BEING USED AND THEN THE TURN SIGNALS REFUSE TO TURN OFF. SEEMS AS THOUGH THERE IS SOME KIND OF A SHORT IN THE BLINKER SYSTEM. IF THIS IS NOT FIXED A FIRE COULD BE IN THE NEAR FUTURE. *JB

DURING HEAVY RAIN THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING AND THEN WOULD START AND STOP INTERMITTENTLY.*AK
