Windshield wipers are intermittent, it was taken to the dealership and verified, however, this VIN was not included in the recall for the 95 Chevrolet Blazer 2. antilock brakes were also inspected and found to be defective by dealership, but again the VIN for this vehicle was not included in the recall for the anti-lock brakes for 95 Chevrolet Blazer. 3. passenger side rear view mirror has cracked and broke off two times. The cracks are originating on the underside of the mirror support. After speaking with the dealership, they indicated to have the same problem with their parts vehicle which is also a 95 Chevrolet Blazer, and I have talked with two other people who own Blazer who had the same defect. I have also tried to locate a used mirror in junk yards, in altus ok, lubbock, tx, and valdosta ga. None of the junk yards had any, they had the vehicles but the mirrors had already been bought. They second mirror I installed broke off and was dangling by the wires while driving down the interstate at 70mph nearly causing an accident, and not to mention it made it difficult to see drivers on the passenger side of the vehicle while changing lanes.

The windshield wiper system is intermittently inoperable at times. Identical to NHTSA campaign id # 98V150001. Chevrolet refuses to accept my vehicle under this recall since it was manufactured 7/94 instead of 8/94. I had the problem fixed by Chevy; the fix consisted of replacing the same board identified by the recall. I had an electrician exam the board, since I kept the old one, and he identified the problem with the solder joints being cracked near the wiring harness. Yet Chevy will not recognize this as the problem that the recall was issued for. How many more vehicles were missed" how do I get reimbursed for this since Chevy charged me to fix their faulty manufacturing problem on the vehicle I bought from them"

The windshield wipers have a malfunction. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. I can be driving down the street, with the wipers on, and they will just quit. Sometimes, when it starts raining they won't even come on. It's frustrating and dangerous. Chevy has a recall out for this problem, they state that it effects 1995 S-10S, but according to my VIN, my vehicle is not part of the recall. Obviously, that is incorrect, my wipers are doing exactly what the recall states. I fail to understand why my truck is not considered under this recall. This is not the first problem I have had with this vehicle. This truck is a lemon. I have numerous other problems for which Chevy was unwilling to even consider as a possible manufacture defect. One of those conditions was a problem with the egr valve. I tried to tell them there was a problem. I had the egr replaced at about 40 or 50K. Now Chevy wants to send a recall notice out. Of course they only reimburse if the repairs were made by a Chevy dealer, mine weren't. I also had a defective transmission replaced at 45K. Chevy wasn't willing to listen to me about that either. I guess the commercial that george straight makes for Chevy is false advertising. I wonder how george would feel if he knew he was supporting such a sorry operation\product. I realize these problems are unrelated to my original complaint. I have a shoe box full of receipts. I will weed through them and send another questionaire regarding these issues. Thanks so much for your time.

The windshield wipers on my truck stopped in mid-wipe during a recent rain storm twice while I was traveling on interstate 24, during a heavy rainstorm. I called the dealer and was told that the vehicle was under recall. When I took the vehicle in this morning I was told it was not under recall and that it would cost $81.25 to replace the wiper module. I paid for the repair but feel that if they are recalling S-10's for this reason that mine should have been repaired also. It appears that the recall does not take care of the total problem, but only a portion of the vehicles with problems. Please assist me and other S-10 owners that this effects.
