02/01/2022 Windshield wiper fails to function unless the circuit board is replaced. GM refused to replace the board for 1992 vehicles even though that same board was recalled for 1994 and later vehicles. Simply said it was not part part of the recall so I had to buy a replacement myself. Was GM recall #98043 expanded to cover 1992 & 1993 year vehicles as well? ABS breaking ( or lack there of) is another matter. Upon entering my Blazer's VIN number into the federal safety agency recall system, it revealed six recalls had been issued for 1992 Blazers. Unfortunately my VIN was not recognized other than that it was in fact a 1992 Blazer of some sort. Chevrolet simply said 1992 Chevrolet VIN numbers were not in their records. When GM/ Chevrolet fails to supply the data for my vehicle, does it have an obligation to inspect my vehicle to determine if it in fact has a problem that should have been resolved? Or has already been resolved? Or wasn't even a recalled vehicle at all? I would appreciate a reply to these questions and/or a reference to a site, providing this kind of information. Campaign Bulletins stated Dealers should confirm vehicle eligibility through GMVIS or DCS Screen 445 before beginning campaign repairs. How is this information accessed today? Really appreciate the ongoing effort to minimize avoidable accidents! .

Abs light is on & has been coming on but going off ....was not aware there was a recall til a friend told me to check it after I had a wreck!!!! I now found out that the ABS might have had something to do with it...due to my wreck I am going to be seeing a doctor for my injuries .... I was going around a curve when I went to slow down a little bit ...I was going 25...& my truck slid & when I went to turn to go around the curve my truck jerked to the left & I hit a barrier, and now I am unable to drive my truck .... Failures: brakes & ABS system.
While driving at any speed, the ABS light stayed on at all times. When the consumer had to use the brakes in an emergency situation there was not enough stopping distance to bring the vehicle to a safe stop. The manufacturer is aware of the problem.
The vehicle ABS light stayed on all the time, which meant that the ABS systems was inoperative.
The brakes failed when attempted to stop.
I received a recall notice from chevrolet approx 3 weeks after my daughter's accident. They have performed testing, but said the tests are inconclusive and deny responsibility. The 4-wd test indicated no prob. But the veh. Was not in 4wd at the time of the accident. Good weather and road conditions, skip marks indicate to me that the ABS did in fact failed or malfunctioned. Product liability person is very difficult to contact, but finally got back with me and told me to have the damages repaired, then they will do the recall work on the brakes. If there is no problem with the brakes, then why would they do the recall work? I feel we are being deceived and need help resolving this with chevrolet. The recall notice clearly states there is a problem and it may result in longer stopping distances and possibly a vehicle crash. It sure did. I thank god that my daughter was not seriously injured or killed because of their delay in getting a recall notice out on a 1992 vehicle!!!
Recall 99 v 193 000/ABS: whenever brakes are applied in panic stop it causes a delay in stopping distance. Dealer notified. Feel free to provide any further information.
