MY WIPERS QUIT WHENEVER THEY FEEL LIKE IT, ESPECIALLY IN A POURING RAIN, OR THEY WILL NOT COME ON AT ALL! THERE IS ALSO A PROBLEM WITH THEM NOT GOING OFF WHEN TURNED OFF. I HIT A DEER BECAUSE THE WIPERS WOULD NOT TURN OFF AFTER USING THE WINDOW WASHER TO CLEAN MY WINDOW IN MY GARAGE. AFTER MANY ATTEMPTS TO TURN THEM OFF, I PROCEEDED TO DRIVE THE 20 MILES TO MY JOB SITE. ON THE WAY, I HIT A DEER. IT COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE, THE ONCOMING PICKUP COULD HAVE BEEN WHAT I HIT. PLEASE, THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION! AFTER READING 21 PAGES OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME THING, I WOULD THINK THAT SOMEONE WOULD TAKE THIS AS A SERIOUS SUBJECT.

WINDSHIELD WIPERS WORKED INTERMITTENTLY. THIS OCCURRED BECAUSE OF A CRACK IN THE SOLDER JOINT AS DESCRIBED IN THE WINDSHIELD WIPER RECALL 03V159000, BUT THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DUE TO VIN. *AK

1998 CHEVROLET BLAZER WINDHSHIELD WIPERS DO NOT WORK ON A CONSISTANT BASIS. THE WORST SCENERIO WAS WHEN MY SON BROKE HIS ARM AND WE WERE LEAVING THE EMERGENCY ROOM. MINUTES AFTER GETTING IN THE CAR A TERRIBLE RAIN STORM HIT AND MADE IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE. WE PULLED OVER AND SAT FOR ABOUT 1 1/2 HOURS - WHEN WE SHOULD HAVE BEEN AT THE PHARMACY GETTING HIS PAIN PILLS. TO ME, THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. THERE HAVE BEEN TOO MANY TIMES TO EVEN RECALL AS TO WHEN THE WIPERS HAVE NOT WORKED. THE RECALL NEEDS TO INCLUDE 1998 BLAZERS!!! DLS. *AK

WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR FAILED. A RECALL WAS ISSUED. HOWEVER, THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED DUE TO VIN. *AK

WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL STOP FOR NO REASON,THEN START AGAIN LATER,OR YOU MAY HAVE THEM SET ON INTERMITTENT, AND THEY MAY ALL OF A SUDDEN STOP ORSTART TO GO FULL SPEED. *AK
