1998 Chevrolet Blazer lights complaints
Page 2 of 3: complaints 11 to 40 of 42, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Wipers are working rarely and directional sounds when directionals are off.
Turn signal flasher unit continues to "click" when turn signals are not in use. Lights do not flash. Clicking stops when brakes applied. Appears that this problem has been ongoing in gm SUV's since mid 80's. Recall has been issued for some 2000-2002 gm SUV's. Problem appears to be with the lubricant used in the turn signal multifunction switch. Gm fix is to replace switch and wait for next failure.
I have a 1998 chevy blazer 2-door s10. I have a problem w/ my turn signals. The turn signals work fine, but the clicking sound that goes w/ the turn signal is constantly clicking, it began when the truck only had about 35,000 miles on it, just after the warranty ended. I've replaced 2 different parts on it and it has still continued.
1998 chevy blazer flashers malfunctioning. The "clicking" sound made while flashers are operating continues even after flashers are turned off. The clicking sound is constant while operating the vehicle.
Turn signal indicator continues to "click" after turn signal has been shut off. It clicks randomly while driving when the turn signal has not been activated. As with other 1998 blazers, the windsheild wipers work intermittently, usually they do not shut off for several minutes.
Wipers do not work at times, turn signal switch not working, engine idles rough, loud sound during acceleration, front end loose.
There was a recall on our 1995 s-10 truck and our 1998 chevrolet blazier has the exact same part and is also defective also. The windshield wipers on our 1998 blazier donot work some times they won't work other times and sometimes they won't shut off. Our gas pedal sticks when you try to take off.
As reported in "odi id number : 758908" I also am having problems with dome light coming on for no reason, the noise for the turn signal would come on without the turn signal being on (my turn signals worked perfectly fine) and the handle you use to adjust the seat back broke off on passenger front seat.
Bought car brand new. Drivers side mirror consistently vibrates - had replaced twice - dealer would not replace a third time due to bug shield being installed. It still vibrates. June 2001 - door locks went nuts. They would lock and unlock themselves while driving down the road or while parked - with keys in it. March 2003 - blinker switch went crazy. It would not stop clicking - whole dash had to be taken out to replace switch - not a cheap thing! May 2003 - alternator went out and ruined battery. Almost caused a car fire. Transmission fluid leak. Not yet fixed because of unknown cause of problem.
Oil coiler lines leaked from the day I bought it from the dealer. Dealer definitely knew and cleaned it up before I got it. 1st set of lines from radiator to oil filter replaced a few months after purchase in 2001. Second set from filter to motor now need replacing. Evidently, this is a very common problem. Wipers have their own agenda. With the mist setting to clean windows, wipers stay on for as long as they want. With the second mist, they don't stay on as long. By the third mist, wipers act normal. Always happens. Turn signal flasher sound started without the use of the turn signal. It stays on for random lengths of time, and makes the sound in regular, and irregular patterns. Replacing multifunction switch - as several have before me. Dealer knew exactly what the problem was. Tranfer case leaks lube. 4-wheel drive messed up because of empty case. Added lube and hope no tranmission problems arrise. Cv joint replaced 4 months after purchase. Hood latch about to break. When pulling on leaver, barely is able to pop hood. Feels like wire is going to snap. Waiting for the next problem to occur - it has been nonstop. Gm designed a terrible vehicle. I am very dissatisfied and I regret ever buying it.
Faulty multi-function switch. Controls the hazard and brake light operation.
No summary listed for above vehicle.
While driving 45 MPH at night headlights went out,. Vehicle has not been examined by dealer.
Transmission replaced after 2 years of hassle, new transmission shifts hard but dealer states all transmissions run that way. Turn signal/windshield wiper module replaced twice, turn signal continued to click after turned off, windshield wipers turned on by itself. Driver's mirror replaced twice due to vibration and continues to vibrate, dealer refused to replace a third time due to a bugshield being installed even though mirror vibrated before bugshield was installed. Vehicle was bought at grubbs chevrolet but has been serviced for the past two years at lowe chevrolet in waynesville mo.
Dome light would come on for no reason, the noise for the turn signal would come on without the turn signal being on (my turn signals worked perfectly fine)and the handle you use to adjust the seat backs broke off on both front seats. Also, the latch on the inside on the vehicle which you pull to release the hood broke. Wondering if anyone else had problems with this vehicle.
While at stop light he heard brakes of vehicle behind him. A person approached consumer, and told him that brake lights were not working. Consumer contacted a dealer, who determined a faulty multi-function switch was the cause of rear brake lights not being operational.
Steering column started smoking through hazard button opening. Pulled into driveway and shut off ignition- smoking stopped. I determined that it was the turn signal switch that was smoking. Reported to gm via phone (1‑800‑222‑1020) and was told that they couldnt/wouldnt do anything about it. Steering column could have easily caught fire if I hadnt stopped right away.
Loud "clunk" noise is heard from the exhaust system under vehicle during start-up and engine shutoff, cruise control shuts off during operation at 55+ MPH, front passenger seat recliner handle broke off without force, handle on the cargo shade in the rear broke during cold temperatures, driver side mirror shakes while driving, fog lamps keep blowing out on both sides, gas pedal sticks often, causing a safety hazzard in traffic.
Right turn signal has an intermittent problem that dealer cannot duplicate. Flasher does not work somtimes. Chevrolet has been contacted.
The gas pedal constantly sticks. Everyday, I have to really push on the pedal to get the vehicle to go. Also, the interior lights flicker on and off for no reason while driving. Last, the passenger side lever has broken off three or four times, which has been replaced, but it still breaks off. No overly applied pressure has been put on it at any time.
The interior lights flash when using the left turn signal during daylight hours.while driving at night the left turn signal does not work,and the cruise control does not work.
Turn signal continued to click after turn signal was shut off -- had to get multifunction switch replaced. On a related note, windshield wipers continued to run after shut off. Occasionally the windshield wipers still perform erratically with the replaced multifunction switch.
I have contacted gm several times to no avail.here are my problems.the right side latch on the seat has been replaced three times by apple valley cherolet. Now the one on the left has broken.this is a two door vehicle and the only way to get in and out of back seat.this car is not mistreated to have this happen.three times it has left me sitting and wont start sometimes you can tell when its going to happen because the lights will dim and the charging gage will drop they have tried to repair this but havent,the windsheild wipers now will delay for about five times then they just stop in the middle of the windsheild or keep running as fast as they can until you turn them off and start over,the four wheel drive system kicks in on its own and you have to stop to get it back to two wheel drive,not the light on the dash it stays in two,the brakes are spongee and go almost all the way to the floor,gm said my blazer wasnt in the recall for the brakes because of where it was made,the exhaust smells like sewer I dont know if I have an exhaust leak or not,when I received this vehicle I ordered it in december of 97 and received it in feb. Of 98.the bolt was missing off of the strut,they replaced that and alligned the front end and it still will not stay in allignment,since the warranty has ran out 4,000 miles ago we have replaced a belt tightner and a water pump
Interior lights would flicker off/on at will. Headlights & running lights failed. Took vehicle to dealership & was informed by mechanic problem cannot be resolved. Components had been changed numerous times, but not the wiring. Still has electrical wiring problem.
While driving about 55 MPH all of a sudden hood flew up and dropped back down. Day before hood flew up, owner could not get hood to open. Owner reported incident to chevrolet's customer service. *ak a modular relay switch failed. Ground wire was not install. Another ground wire was not install at fuel injector causing not enough gas to get into injector. Break pedal failed. Breaks locked after making screening noise. Tape player failed.
My blazer is 2 dr with zr2,, funny sound from rear suspension when it bump, and engin cut off at backing up car without warm up, and make bone cracking noise or squeak noise from dash or brake, everytime I turn or stop or go. Very poor fitting for both of 2 door and front and rear bumper and etc,,
Vehicle's headlights work intermittently, sometimes they work and sometimes do not. When the vehicle is started, once on it will stay on. Dealer contacted and cannot duplicate the problem.
Headlights would not come on. Driver happen to pound on dash and lights came on.
