1998 CHEVROLET BLAZER Complaints

WINDSHIELD WIPERS SOMETIMES STOP ON THERE OWN. SOMETIMES THEY ARE ON INTERMITENT AND JUST START WORKING LIKE THE ON THE NORMAL SETTING. SOMETIMES WHEN I SHUT THEM OFF THEY WON'T STOP. I HAVE CALLED GENERAL MOTORS AND EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A RECALL FOR 1997 BLAZERS FOR THIS PROBLEM, SINCE MY BLAZER IS A 1998(MANUFACTURE DATE 10/97) THEY WILL NOT HELP ME AT ALL.*AK

FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPERS QUIT WORKING WHILE ENGAGED OR ENGAGEING BY THEMSELVES IN THE FASTEST MODE. CONSUMER HAD TO TURN VEHICLE OFF AND RESTART IT TO CORRECT BOTH FAILURES. RECALL 03V159000 WAS ISSUED, BUT THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DUE TO VIN. *AK

WINDSHIELD WIPERS DON'T OPERATE PROPERLY. WINDSHIELD WIPERS SOMETIMES COME ON BY THEMSELVES, AND WILL NOT TURN OFF. ALSO, WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL STOP OPERATING DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER.

TURN SIGNAL FLASHER UNIT CONTINUES TO "CLICK" WHEN TURN SIGNALS ARE NOT IN USE. LIGHTS DO NOT FLASH. CLICKING STOPS WHEN BRAKES APPLIED. APPEARS THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN ONGOING IN GM SUV'S SINCE MID 80'S. RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR SOME 2000-2002 GM SUV'S. PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE WITH THE LUBRICANT USED IN THE TURN SIGNAL MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH. GM FIX IS TO REPLACE SWITCH AND WAIT FOR NEXT FAILURE. *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

I HAVE A 1998 CHEVY BLAZER 2-DOOR S10. I HAVE A PROBLEM W/ MY TURN SIGNALS. THE TURN SIGNALS WORK FINE, BUT THE CLICKING SOUND THAT GOES W/ THE TURN SIGNAL IS CONSTANTLY CLICKING, IT BEGAN WHEN THE TRUCK ONLY HAD ABOUT 35,000 MILES ON IT, JUST AFTER THE WARRANTY ENDED. I'VE REPLACED 2 DIFFERENT PARTS ON IT AND IT HAS STILL CONTINUED. *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.
