1998 CHEVROLET BLAZER Complaints

TURN SIGNAL INDICATOR CONTINUES TO "CLICK" AFTER TURN SIGNAL HAS BEEN SHUT OFF. IT CLICKS RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING WHEN THE TURN SIGNAL HAS NOT BEEN ACTIVATED. AS WITH OTHER 1998 BLAZERS, THE WINDSHEILD WIPERS WORK INTERMITTENTLY, USUALLY THEY DO NOT SHUT OFF FOR SEVERAL MINUTES.*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

ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP EMERGENCY BRAKE FAILED DUE TO PLASTIC PART POORLY DESIGNED BY THE MANUFACTURER. THE PEDAL ENGAGES, BUT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WILL NOT LOCK. OWNER CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER, WHO STATED THAT IT WAS WEAR AND TEAR. *AK *NLM

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

WHILE DRIVING IN A RAIN STORM AT 50 MPH WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. CONSUMER HAD TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SHUT THE TRUCK OFF TO RESET MODULE. THEN, RESTARTED THE TRUCK AGAIN AND WIPERS BEGAN TO WORK. DEALER STATED WIPER MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.*AK *PH

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

MY 1998 CHEVROLET BLAZER HAS HAD REGULAR PROBLEMS WITH THE COOLING SYSTEM NOT PROVIDING HEAT TO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT EVEN THOUGH THE ENGINE IS RUNNING AT PROPER TEMP. THE HEATER CORE IS CONTINUALLY CLOGGING UP REQUIRING REGULAR TRIPS TO THE DEALER TO "FLUSH" THE HEATER CORE THAT IS PLUGGED. I UNDERSTAND FROM SEARCHING THE INTERNET THIS IS DUE TO THE DEX-COOL ANTIFREEZE THAT GM PUTS IN THE CAR AND THAT THERE ARE LAWSUITS AGAINST GM REGARDING THIS. THE LAST TIME I HAD THIS DONE THE DEALER TOLD ME IF IT HAPPENED AGAIN THAT A NEW CORE WOULD HAVE TO BE INSTALLED AT A COST OF $650+. THE CORE IS NOW PLUGGED ONCE AGAIN.*AK

VEHICLE VIBRATED WHILE DRIVEN 60 MPH WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. THE DEALER KEPT THE VEHICLE FOR OVER A MONTH. THE PROBLEM WAS RECURRING. *AK
