1998 CHEVROLET BLAZER Complaints

SOMETIMES WHEN YOU ARE USING THE WIPERS THEY WILL JUST STOP. OR SOMETIMES THEY WILL NOT COME ON WHEN NEEDED. YOU HAVE TO KEEP MESSING WITH THEM TO GET THEM TO WORK. WHEN THE WIPERS DO NOT WORK NEITHER DOES THE HEADLIGHTS.....*NLM

WHILE TRAVELING WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD STOP WORKING, CAUSING CONSUMER TO PULL OVER TO HAND RESTART WIPER. WITHOUT ANY INDICATION S WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED. *AK

WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOP INTERMITTENTLY, A REAL PROBLEM AT HIGH SPEEDS DURING A STORM. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE BY CHEVROLET, HAS HAPPENED ON S-10 PICKUPS, THE SOLDER DEVELOPS CRACKS WHICH CAUSES THE FAILURES. PLEASE BE SURE TO SUE CHEVROLET FOR NOT DOING A RECALL. *JB

THE GENERAL MOTORS WINDSHIELD WIPERS IN MY 1998 BLAZER HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AS EARLIER MODELS OF GM TRUCKS. THEY HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM FROM 1991 WHY CAN'T THEY BE MADE TO FIX IT! I WAS LUCKY TO GET HOME ALIVE IN THE RAIN STORM YESTERDAY. THEY JUST QUIT AND I COULD SEE VARY LITTLE. *NLM

1998 CHEVROLETER 4X4 4DOOR. WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON THE FRONT QUIT WORKING. HAVE WORKED ON AND OFF FOR 2 MONTHS. CAN GET THEM TO WORK AFTER PLACING A ZIP STRAP AROUND MOTOR AND WIRES AND PULLING REAL TIGHT. THIS LOOKS LIKE AN IDENTICAL PROBLEM THAT A PREVIOUS RECALL WAS PERFORMED ON. I ALSO HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE WIPER MOTOR IN MY 91 CHEVROLETK 3 TIMES. SOMETIMES THEY WOULD WORK. SOMETIMES THEY WOULDN'T. THIS APPARENTLY IS A BIG PROBLEM WITH CHEVROLETR MOTORS AS MY FRIENDS ARE HAVING SIMILAR PROBLEMS AS WELL WITH VARIOUS CHEVY TRUCKS AND BLAZERS.*AK

LOUD RUMBLE WHEN ACCELERATING FROM DEAD STOP WHEN FIRST STARTING TRIP. RUMBLE ONLY OCCURS AROUND 1500 RPMS.*AK

DRIVER'S SEAT HANDLE SHEARED OFF DURING USE DUE TO COMPONENT MANUFACTURING OF SOFT METAL.*AK

FIRST THE ABS WARNING LIGHT STARTED ILLUMINATING EVERY SO OFTEN STARTING IN 2002, NOW THE WIPERS HAVE BECOME VERY ERRATIC. IT HAS NOW GOTTEN SO BAD THAT IT HAS BECOME A SAFETY HAZARD. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT SETTING ( DELAY, SLOW OR FAST) THE WIPERS ARE SET AT THEY REACT ON THEIR OWN. SOMETIMES THEY STOP COMPLETELY WHICH CAUSES A SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD WHEN DRIVING IN THE RAIN. YOU COULD HAVE THE SETTING ON SLOW DELAY AND THEY WILL BEGIN GOING VERY FAST OR MEDIUM SPEED, THEN CHANGE AGAIN FOR NO REASON. THEY ALSO CONTINUE TO RUN WHEN THE SWITCH IS TURNED COMPLETELY OFF. THIS STARTED ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO AND HAS INCREASED IN INTENSITY WITH EACH USE DUE TO RAIN. I UNDERSTAND PREVIOUS YEAR MODELS WERE RECALLED FOR A VERY SIMILAR PROBLEM AND I AM WONDERING IF THIS YEARS MODEL HAS BEEN ADDED TO THE RECALL LIST? *NLM

REFER TO NHSTA CAMPAIGN #98V150001 DATED 7/1/1998. I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. INTERMITTENT SWITCH DOES NOT WORK LIKE IT SHOULD, WIPERS CONTINUOUSLY RUN WHEN USING MIST FUNCTION TO CLEAN WINDSHIELD, SOMETIMES WIPERS DO NOT COME ON AT ALL. RECALL ISSUED 5/1/2003 TO INCLUDE 1996-1997 BLAZERS. MINE IS 1998 AND IS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL PER DEALER EVEN THOUGH I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. *NLM

AS REPORTED IN "ODI ID NUMBER : 758908" I ALSO AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH DOME LIGHT COMING ON FOR NO REASON, THE NOISE FOR THE TURN SIGNAL WOULD COME ON WITHOUT THE TURN SIGNAL BEING ON (MY TURN SIGNALS WORKED PERFECTLY FINE) AND THE HANDLE YOU USE TO ADJUST THE SEAT BACK BROKE OFF ON PASSENGER FRONT SEAT.*AK
