1998 CHEVROLET S10 Complaints

WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR CUTS ON AND OFF. ONCE AGAIN I HAVE TO CHANGE ALL MY PLANS BECAUSE IT IS RAINING. *JB

NHSTA RECALL CAMPAIGN ID# 03V15900 APPLIES TO CHEVY S-10'S THROUGH 1997. THE RECALL RELATES TO FAULTY WIPER MOTOR CIRCUIT BOARDS THAT LEAD TO INTERMITTENT OPERATION OF WIPER BLADES. I OWN A 1998 CHEVY S-10 AND HAVE EXPERIENCED NUMEROUS FAILURES OF THE WIPER BLADES DURING RAIN STORMS. THE MOST SEVERE INCIDENT HAPPENED DURING HEAVY RAINS ON JUNE 4, WHEN I LOST THE USE OF MY WIPERS FOR 20 MINUTES. I HAVE DESCRIBED THE PROBLEM TO MECHANICS WHO INFORMED ME OF THE RECALL AND INDICATED THAT IT IS MOST LIKELY THE SAME PROBLEM AS THAT OF THE RECALL. THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO MODEL YEAR 1998 AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. *JB

VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE SAME DEFECT WITH IT'S WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR AS STATED IN RECALL 03 V 159 000, BUT THE VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED. *TT THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE INTERMITTENT. *SCC *JB

THE NEW RECALL ON GM TRUCKS AND SUV'S ONLY GOES TO 97'. I HAVE A 98' WITH THE SAME PROBLEM

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED INTERMITTENTLY WHICH RESULTED IN POOR VISIBILITY DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER. *NLM

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING. THE WIPER MOTOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *JB

VEHICLE INVOLVED IN A HEAD ON CRASH WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE ON THE ROAD ALREADY IN AN ACCIDENT.. SPEED WAS AT 55 MPH CAUSING A TOTAL LOSS OF 1998 S-10 ZR2 TRUCK.. THERE WAS EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE FRONT...OF THIS THE AIR BAGS NEVER DEPLOYED AT ALL THE SAFETY BELTS DID NOT RESTRAIN..DRIVER SUFFERED CHEST TRAUMA BACK,KNEE,AND NECK INJURIES.... CHEVROLET WAS CALLED TO COMPLAIN AND THEY DID INVESTIGATION BUT NOTHING WAS RESOLVED.... *NLM

WINDSHIELD WIPERS DO NOT FUNCTION AT ALL TIMES. WILL STOP WHILE DRIVING. ONE SUCH INCIDENT , I WAS DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH WHEN THEY STOPPED, NEARLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD AND WAIT FOR THE RAIN TO STOP BEFORE PROCEEDING. WIPERS STARTED WORKING AGAIN SHORTLY AFTER THAT. *JB

IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTORS HAVE NOT WORKED OR HAVE STOPPED WHILE ON EXPRESSWAY DRIVING IN RAIN. *NLM

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS BECAME INOPERATIVE. A RECALL WAS ISSUED ON SIMILAR MAKES AND MODELS, HOWEVER THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDE DUE TO VIN#. *NLM
