Wipers work about 50% of the time at best, typically when it is not raining. This is a big safety issue. It looks like countless others have had this problem with their 98 Blazer. I have not yet fixed the problem. When will this be recalled?
- Bloomington, IL, USA
There are 2 recalls for windshield wipers not working/intermittenly working for 1996 Blazer - my 1998 Blazer is having the exact same issue but I can't find any recalls with my 1998. It has been an intermitten problem for 2 years and now they just stopped. The fuse is good and there is a lot dealing with circuit board solder joints for the wipers.

The windshield wipers stop working, do not respond to the delay setting, and often do not turn off when the switch is turned to the off position. That causes rapid wiper blade wear and a loud suealing sound. Often, the wipers will continue to run for more than 10 minutes after turning off. This is very distracting while driving.

Windshield wipers did not work. Also, the handles on the driver and passenger seats broke, and water pump was defective.
- Mount Vernon, ME, USA
Air bag warning light a first came on periodically but now stays on continuously. Dealer said vehicle was out of warranty and would cost me for repairs on a safety item. Windshield wipers now operate on their own. On, off setting, sometimes they operate. On different run settings they stop completely or vary speeds. Both are very serious safety hazards and should be recalled immediately. If an accident occurs by the windshield function or if someone is seriously injured because the airbags fail to deploy, there will be a serious lawsuit on someone's hands.
