The contact owns a 1998 Chevrolet S10. The contact stated that the windshield wipers worked intermittently, which reduced visibility in inclimate weather. The manufacturer stated that his model year was excluded from the recall; therefore, they would not replace the wiper motor circuit board for free. The vehicle has not been repaired. The NHTSA campaign id number was unknown. The failure mileage was 100,000 and current mileage was 130,000.

The windshield wiper motor stops working on my 1998 Chevy S10 pickup truck. This happens without warning and has made it difficult to drive safely during a rain storm.

I recently purchased a 1998 Chevy S10 pickup truck. The windshield wipers exhibit the exact behavior described in NHTSA saftety recall bulletin #03023--the wipers only work intermittently, obviously dangerous here in rainy washingon state. It is my strong belief this vehicle should be included in the recall which now only covers 1995-1997. I would guess it is highly likely this '98 has the same wiper motor circuit board installed as the previous years had.

Windshield wiper motor works then it doesn't.

This is the same problem as others have listed. I turn on the wipers and they sometimes turn on, sometimes don't, other times they go at similar speeds, other times they will not shut off. This seems to be the same as the 97 S-10 recall, this needs to be extended. My dealer told me it would be $800 to fix this problem, I have elected to take my chances.

Windshield wipers used to work at varying speeds, regardless if they were on or not. Now, they rarely ever work. The problem began while it was pouring, during rush hour, on the freeway, while driving through construction. I lost all visibility and there wasn't a shoulder to pull off on. This is a very dangerous problem. Wipers only work intermittently.

My 1998 S-10 pickup wipers will fail without notice at any setting of the intermittant switch. I replaced the switch assembly but that did not help the problem. Somwetimes they will restart by wiggling the wires going to the wiper motor. This is very dangerous because when it fails in a downpour you can not see how to get off the road. The problem has existied the last 3 years.

I own a 1998 Chevy S-10. The windshield wipers have stopped working after months of very sporadic behavior. This behavior began after only 19,000 miles. The consequences of wipers not working are obviously grave. Faulty circuit board has to be replaced (the same board involved in the 1997 recall). I have heard and read of many, many others with the same problem.

Windshield wiper motor quits intermittantly, needing to go outside and wiggle wiper arm to get going. Very much a hazard during heavy rains. Should be recalled.

- Maplewood, MN, USA

Sometimes windshield wiper does not wipe at all. Ometimes it won't stop wiping. Ometimes when set to interrupted wiping, it wipes continuously. As happened frequently, almost every time it has rained and I have had to use the wipers since it started in Sept. 2004.

- Roswell, GA, USA

While driving at any speed front windshield wipers failed intermittently. Dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem.

- Navarre, OH, USA

Windshield wipers worked intermittently. This occurred because of a crack in the solder joint as described in the windshield wiper recall 03V159000, but this vehicle was not included in the recall due to VIN.

1998 Chevrolet Blazer windhshield wipers do not work on a consistant basis. The worst scenerio was when my son broke his arm and we were leaving the emergency room. Minutes after getting in the car a terrible rain storm hit and made it almost impossible to see. We pulled over and sat for about 1 1/2 hours - when we should have been at the pharmacy getting his pain pills. To me, this is unacceptable. There have been too many times to even recall as to when the wipers have not worked. The recall needs to include 1998 Blazer!!! dls.
