1998 CHEVROLET S10 Complaints

THE VEHICLE HAD AN OIL LEAK WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. IT WAS LATER DISCOVERED THAT THE OIL COOLER LINES RUBBED TOGETHER AND MADE A HOLE WHICH CAUSED THE LEAK. *NLM *JB

WINDSHEILD WIPER WILL RUN AND THEN STOP WHEN IT IS RAINING AND WILL EVEN CONTINUE TO RUN WHEN I TURN THEM OFF AFTER THE RAIN HAS STOPED. I TRACED THE PROBLEM WIPER MOTOR. WHEN THE WIPERS STOP I PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WIGGLE THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR ON THE WIPER MOTOR AND ITS MAGIC THEY WORK FOR 5 MINS AND THEN YOU REPEAT THE PROCESS. WITH SPEED LIMITS OF 70 MPH I DO NOT RECOMMEND DOING THIS ON HIGHWAYS, PULL OVER AND WAIT TILL THE RAIN ENDS ( HOTEL MAY BE REQUIRED). WE NEED HELP WITH THIS PROBLEM, GM DOES NOT CARE, THEY WANT ME TO BUY A NEW MOTOR FROM THEM, THIS ONE IS DEFECTIVE AND THE SAY THERE IS NOT A PROBLEM. I DO NOT NEED TO PURCHASE ANOTHER DEFECTIVE PART FROM THEM.*AK

1998 CHEVROLET S-10 ETENDED CAB PICKUP HORN INTERMITENTLY WILL GO OFF AND THE LAST TIME IN APRIL. 2003 STAYED ON UNTIL I PULLED THE FUSE UNDER THE HOOD. I NOW HAVE NO HORN FOR USE.*AK

MY 1998 CHEVROLET S-10 A HAD BAD WINDSHIELD WIPER CONTROL BOARD PROBLEM THAT WAS RECALLED IN OTHER S-10'S UPTO 1997. SHOULD CONSIDER EXPANDING RECALL.*AK

CONSUMER NOTICED WHILE USING WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND WITHOUT WARNING INTERMITTENTLY WIPERS WOULD STOP WORKING. DEALER HAS BEEN CONTACTED.*AK *TS

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED INTERMITTENTLY OR SEIZED FUNCTIONING WHEN ENGAGED. *NLM. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING IN A RAINSTORM. THERE WAS ZERO VISIBILITY. *SCC *JB

WINDSHIELD WIPERS OPERATE ONLY SPORADICALLY. WIPERS SOMETIMES STOP WORKING DURING PERIODS OF RAIN, CREATING LOSS OF VISIBILITY AND POTENTIAL FOR VEHICLE CRASH.AT TIMES WIPERS FAIL TO START WHEN TURNED "ON." DEALER MECHANIC SAYS THIS CONDITION IS WIDWSPREAD, BUT MANUFACTURER HAS SO FAR FAILED TO INCLUDE THIS MODEL IN A RECALL. EARLIER MODELS HAVING THE SAME SYMPTOMS. MANUFACTURER SHOULD EXPAND RECALL TO INCLUDE LATER MODELS WITH IDENTICAL PROBLEMS AS THOSE MODELS UNDER EXISTING RECALL.*AK

CONSUMER STATED HIS VEHICLE WAS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AS MENTIONED IN RECALL CONCERNING WINDSHIELD WIPERS. DEALER WILL NOT REPAIR BECAUSE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. RECALL NUMBER UNKNOWN.*AK

THE S10'S WINDSHIELD WIPERS WORK INTERMITTENTLY AT BEST. THE WIPERS WILL START SOMETIMES AND WORK OK. OTHER TIMES, THEY WILL NOT START, OR WILL STOP ON THEIR OWN....USUALLY DURING THE WORST POSSIBLE TIME. THIS IS VERY SIMILAR TO COMPLAINTS MADE ON 1996 1997 S-10S WHERE THERE IS A RECALL ON THE WIPER SYSTEM. *AK

DRIVING A 1998 CHEVROLET S-10 PICK UP TRUCK. WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED TO COME ON DURING A HEAVY RAINSTORM WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 80 IN PENNSYLVANIA. WIPER MODULE WAS REPLACED. I BELIEVE THIS WAS THE SAME PROBLEM WHICH WAS THE SUBJECT OF A RECALL FOR FULL SIZE CHEVROLET TRUCKS. THE S-10 PICK UP WAS NOT PART OF THAT RECALL.
