problem #6

Blazer 4WD

  • miles
Same discription as campaign 98V150001: Winshield wipers stop working in heavy rain or after a car wash. So far have been able to safely pull over since I've been in town when this has happened. Hate to think what would have happened in heavy traffic or at high speeds. Warranty will not cover this. Dealer will replace for a fee.

problem #4

Blazer 4WD

  • miles
I have experienced wiper motor failures similar to campaign #98043. When it rains, my wipers will sporatically stop working. I have read about recall #98043, but am aware that it does not apply to 1998 Blazer. Nevertheless, the problem seems to be identical to those from the earlier recalls. Please advise.

problem #3

May 302001

Blazer 4WD

  • miles
The windshield wiper failed to park in the down position. On an intermittent basis, the wiper would only operate at high speed. The wiper would stop during operation iwithout warning when it was operated at less than high speed. This occurred twice under rainy driving conditions. I purchase a new delay module at the dealer for $88 and it has fixed the problem. I noted that Chevrolet has previously had this problem on other vehicles.
