PROBLEM W/ WIPER CONTROL ON '98 S-10 W/ 48,000 MILES. FIRST OBSERVED 6 MONTHS AGO WHEN WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID WAS NO LONGER PUMPED TO WINDSHIELD. REPLACED PUMP IN RESEVOIR-- STILL HAD PROBLEM. ABOUT 1 MONTH AGO, WIPERS BEGAN OPERATING ERRATICALLY-- EITHER RUNNING TOO FAST, NOT AT ALL, OR REFUSING TO SHUT OFF. SUSPECT THIS MAY BE A CONTROL BOARD ISSUE, BUT CURRENT RECALL ONLY COVERS '97'S AND EARLIER

THE CONSUMERS VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE RECALL ON THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MODULE. RECALL# 1557585. THE DEALER WOULD NOT REPAIR THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. *NLM THE CONSUMER REPLACED THE MODULE HIMSELF WHICH SOLVED THE PROBLEM. *SCC

1998 CHEVY S 10...WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOP WORKING WHEN IN RAIN.....NEVER KNOW WHEN IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN, OTHER THAN WHEN RAINS.....I ALSO HAVE A 1997 CHEVY S 10 BLAZER WHICH DOES THE SAME THING...CHEVY HAS RECALLED THOSE MOTORS TO BE FIXED...BUT WHEN I CALLED THEM TO TELL THEM OF THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE 1998....THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOT COVER THAT....I TOLD THEM OF HAVING BOTH VEHICLES (I BOUGHT BOTH OF THEM NEW)....THAT I KNEW THE PROBLEM WAS EXACTLY THE SAME....WAS TOLD TO DRIVE TO DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE....AND WAS TOLD THERE IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED. LAST OCCURRENCE WAS 4,21,03.....*JB

WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ALONG AT APPROXIMATELY. 40 MPH, THE TRUCK BEGAN TO ACCELERATE RAPIDLY. APPLYING THE BRAKES SEEMED TO HAVE MINIMAL EFFECT AS THE POWER OF THE ENGINE SEEMED TO OVERPOWER THE BRAKING. AT THAT POINT SHE TRIED TO SHIFT THE TRUCK INTO NEUTRAL, BUT PUT IT INTO REVERSE INSTEAD. THIS CAUSED THE REAR WHEELS TO LOCK, THE TRUCK THEN SPUN OUT OF CONTROL AND TURNED OVER UPON STRIKING THE CURB. *NLM

WINDSHIELD WIPERS WORK INTERMITTENTLY OR NOT AT ALL AT VARIOUS TIMES. ON 1998 S-10 PICKUP TRUCK. *NLM
