This cooling system failure has resulted in my having to replace the heater core and hoses as well as the radiator due to the amount and thickness of the corrosion/rust inside. The system will have to be flushed...chevy is aware of this issue as referenced by their repair bulletins...the extend and cost of the damage is understated.... Im out of pocket $1400 to replace a radiator a heating core and other component due to not being notified sooner about the possibility of the problem occurring and thereby having the vehicle inspected for the probably issue!

After recently buying this vehicle we noticed the air coming from the vents was not exactly warm. Took it to be repaired and was told it was probably a thermostat problem since the vehicle was so "new". Unfortunately, it ended up being the heater core(which from what I am hearing is extremely rare for a vehicle of this age).

Windshield wipers work intermittently, causing poor visiblity. Please provide further information.
Beginning in november of 1999, the windshield wipers didn't always work. At first, I thought it was just a fluke. After the initial failure, they worked fine for some time. We had the vehicle in for another problem, and service man told us there had been no problems with the wipers. Since that time, it has become more frequent. It intermittenly works. Somedays, it works every time, somedays some of the time, and other days, none of the time. Yesterday, in the rain, driving all over nashville, tn, it would not work at all, no matter how many times I tried it. Today, when I got in the car, I tried it just for the heck of it, and they worked. My husband knows several people who have 95 and 96 model s-10 blazers, who have had theirs replaced free of charge, it was called a campain. When we have asked, we have been told there are no recalls for our vehicle. I found a recall no. 98v150, and sounds an awful lot like our problem. Please advise.
