Windshield wipers will stop working when they have been on for more then 5 to 10 minutes. I have friends who have had the same problem with different year models.

Intermittent failure of windshield wiper motor. Been going on for 4 months. Been waiting for complete failure so defect can be detected. Have been informed this is a continuing problem on astro van. Trying to find out if a recall or service bulletin has been issued for this problem!

Windshield wipers will stop working completely while in use, or not work at all when needed. Can hear motor, but will not work. Causes poor visibility on wet road conditions.

1998 chevrolet s10 VIN#[xxx] pickup. The windshield wipers may or may not come, when they come they may just stay up and not move again then you can't turn them off. I have had this problem from the day I purchased the pickup. I have called gmc customer service on 7-5-04 they told me they have a recall that only covers models from 1994 to 1997 . The description in the recall is exactly the problem, but there recall only goes to 1994-1997, I know this is very dangerous because I was in a down pour on interstate 40 at 65 miles and turned on my wipers they came up and didn't move again.I thought I was going to be in a bad wreck when I hit my brakes in that rain. I know that this problem is because of defective board on the wiper motor gmc corp. Should be ordered to recall 1998 models for this problem.*ak updated 07/25/2012 *js information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)

There were no incidents leading to the failure of the windshield wipers on my 1998 chevrolet blazer. They simply do not operate when it rains, which has become quite a hazard, especially during sudden rain, while driving the vehicle in traffic!*ak while I have incurred no accidents due to this failure, I've had to stop in traffic, during inclement weather, as I could not see to maneuver the vehicle safely.

We own a 1998 s10,chevrolet pickup. Several times over the last three years the windsheild wipers quit while driving. A few moments later they will start working again. This is extremely intermittent! I took the truck to the local gm dealer but they said it was not listed in the recall for a windsheild wiper problem and would cost roughly $400 dolarrs to replace the pulse module. I understand that gm in canada recalled several vehicles for this same problem. Also I understand that several owners of this particular truck in the us has had the same problem. My question? Is gm responsible and has this been been done to alert gm?

This is a 1998 chevrolet p/u that has an intermittent windshield wiper problem. We also own a 1995 chevrolet p/u that was recalled for the same problem and was recently repaired. The 1998 p/u has exactly the same symptoms as the 1995 and needs to be recalled also.
