1998 CHEVROLET BLAZER - TRANSMISSION FAILS TO LOCK UP BETWEEN 3RD AND 4TH GEAR ON THE HIGHWAY - WEB RESEARCH SHOWS THIS IS SO COMMON AFTER MARKET PRODCUTS HAVE BEEN CREATED TO ADDRESS IT... GMC SHOULD FIX FOR FREE. *AK

THE HANDLE CONTROLLING THE RECLINE FUNCTION ON BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEATS HAS BROKEN. THE DRIVER SIDE WAS REPLACED ONCE WHILE UNDER WARRANTY, BOTH SEATS ARE NOW IN AN UPRIGHT POSITION. AROUND APRIL, 2003, THE HOOD LATCH BROKE AND IT TAKES FOREVER TO MANEUVER TO GET THE HOOD UP TO CHECK THE OIL. *NLM

CONSUMER STATED THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED INTERMITTENTLY WHEN IN OPERATION. THE PROBLEM CAUSED REDUCED VISIBILITY WHEN DRIVING IN INCLEMENT WEATHER. *PH

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WORK INTERMITTENTLY. THEY WILL JUST STOP WORKING FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME, AND OTHER TIMES WILL WORK PROPERLY. 1995 THROUGH 1997 BLAZERS WERE RECALLED FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT THE 1998 WAS NOT INCLUDED (SEE NHSTA CAMPAIGN ID# 98V150001, RECALL DATE JULY 1, 1998). CHEVROLET TOLD ME TO GET IT FIXED AND IF IT BECOMES A RECALL ITEM, I WILL BE REIMBURSED. *PH

THE SEAT BACK, TRANSFER CASE, AND WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR ALL FAILED. *AK *CB THE PARKING BRAKE WAS ADJUSTED, THE AIR CONDITION BLEW WARM AIR, AND THE OIL COOLER LINES WERE REPLACED.*JB

INTERMITTENTLY WINDSHIELD WIPERS BECOME INOPERABLE, OBSTRUCTING DRIVER'S VIEW. A RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED ON SIMILAR MAKES AND MODELS. HOWEVER THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED DUE TO VIN. *AK

I HAVE A 1998 4X4 CHEVROLET BLAZER. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE IN AUGUST OF 2002. SINCE THEN, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS HAVE QUIT OFF AND ON. IF THE QUIT, I HAVE TO TAPE THE WIRING HARNESS WHERE THEY PLUG IN. IT APPEARS THAT THE HARNESS BEGINS TO SAG AFTER TIME AND PULLS THE PLUGS OUT. *AK

THERE WAS A RECALL ON OUR 1995 S-10 TRUCK AND OUR 1998 CHEVROLET BLAZIER HAS THE EXACT SAME PART AND IS ALSO DEFECTIVE ALSO. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON OUR 1998 BLAZIER DONOT WORK SOME TIMES THEY WON'T WORK OTHER TIMES AND SOMETIMES THEY WON'T SHUT OFF. OUR GAS PEDAL STICKS WHEN YOU TRY TO TAKE OFF.*AK
