1998 CHEVROLET S10 Complaints

WINDSHIELD WIPER MALFUNCTION. THE WIPERS FAIL MOST OF THE TIME. WHEN THEY DO WORK, THEY RUN ERRACTICALLY. I USE RAIN-X ON THE WINDSHIELD FOR INCREASED VISIBILITY. *AK

WINDSHIELD WIPER FAILED, THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM. THEY DO WORK SOMETIMES BUT MOSTLY THEY DO NOT. THIS WAS A RECALL ITEM FOR MY OTHER CAR BUT NOT FOR THIS TRUCK. I THINK IT SHOULD BE

I OWN A '98 CHEVY S-10. GM HAS RECALLED S-10'S THRU '97 FOR FAULTY WIPER CIRCUIT BOARDS. MY WIPERS FAILED IN A RAIN STORM AND NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THEY REFUSE TO WORK WITH ME ON GETTING THE SITUATION RESOLVED. IT CAN'T BE AN ISOLATED TO MY VEHICLE SINCE THERE IS DOCUMENTED HISTORY OF TROUBLE WITH GM'S WIPERS.*AK

WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR FAILS OR WORKS INTERMITTENTLY. THIS IS SIMILAR TO THE BULLITIN NO: 03023. *AK

DRIVER SIDE SEAT SEAT RECLINER FAILED. FIRST TIME THE CASTING INSIDE THE HANDLE FAILED. THE SECOND TIME THE FAILURE WAS IN THE TRANSFER ROD THAT THE HANDLE IS CONNECTED TO. FIRST FAILURE WAS WHILE IN USE, SECOND FAILURE IT "JUST FELL OFF." WHEN IT WORKED, AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF FORCE WAS REQUIRED TO ACTIVATE. SINGLE OWNER OPERATOR - FAILURE OCCURED WITH LITTLE USE.*AK

STEEL CABLES ON TAILGATE SNAPPED WHILE IN STORED (NO LOAD APPLIED) CONDITION. *AK

WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH THE VEHICLE IN FRONT CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP, CAUSING CONSUMER'S VEHICLE TO REAR END THE OTHER VEHICLE. UPON IMPACT, BOTH FRONTAL AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CONSUMER HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALER. *AK

WINDSHIELD WIPERS QUIT WORKING WHEN ENGAGED . CONSUMER HAD TO HIT THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FOR THEM TO START WORKING. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MODULE.*AK

WHILE DRIVING IN INCLEMENT WEATHER WINDSHIELD WIPERS CAME ON AND OFF OWN THEIR OWN. THIS CAUSED THE DRIVER TO HAVE POOR VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING. *AK
