Problems with windshield wipers.
Same discription as campaign 98v150001: winshield wipers stop working in heavy rain or after a car wash. So far have been able to safely pull over since I've been in town when this has happened. Hate to think what would have happened in heavy traffic or at high speeds. Warranty will not cover this. Dealer will replace for a fee.
When windshield wipers are set on either high or intermittent,they go haywire. Please provide additional information.
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.
Intermittently the windshield wipers become inoperable obstructing the view of the driver. A recall has been issued on simular makes and models, however this vehicle was not included due to the VIN. The dealer has inspected the vehicle.*nlm the wiper module had a bad solder connection. It was removed and replaced. Jg
Replaced both seat adjusters. Replaced battery after it broke and leaked on the cable operating the 4wd. Replaced the cable operating the 4wd. Replaced both back windows, (2-door) the seals kept coming out in front of the doors making it hard to open the doors. Replaced drivers side mirror. Seat belt warning light was staying on. Lastly the lower ball joints, tie rod ends, pittman arm and idler arm have been replaced. All done under warranty except the front end components. What a crappy car!
Windshield wipers fail intermittently during inclement weather. Dealership replaced wiper module at owners expense. *ak
I have experienced wiper motor failures similar to campaign #98043. When it rains, my wipers will sporatically stop working. I have read about recall #98043, but am aware that it does not apply to 1998 blazers. Nevertheless, the problem seems to be identical to those from the earlier recalls. Please advise.
The windshield wiper failed to park in the down position. On an intermittent basis, the wiper would only operate at high speed. The wiper would stop during operation iwithout warning when it was operated at less than high speed. This occurred twice under rainy driving conditions. I purchase a new delay module at the dealer for $88 and it has fixed the problem. I noted that chevrolet has previously had this problem on other vehicles.
While traveling in rain windshield wipers would work intermittently. Please provide further information.
Dexcool anti-freeze, this product clogged the cooling and heating system. Dealership was aware of the problem.*ak
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.
Left front electric window motor failed and the regulator failed.
Flushed radiator system and found it to be corroded and clogged with rust. Currently, heater is inoperable. Dealer has inspected vehicle.
Gas petal sticks.
Windshield will intermittently fail during operation and usually when there is a down pour ,causing poor visibility.
Drivers side heated mirror, that becomes heated when put on rear defroster, is cracked. Consumer feels it cracked from cold weather conditions.
Rear glass shatter when parked. Several witnesses heard a pop sound and then the rear window shattered. Rear window is a hatch type.
Within 8 months of purchasing my vehicle I started having problems with opening the drivers side front door. The vertical moulding attached to the drivers side triangle window would overlap the drivers door when the drivers door was shut. This made it very difficult to enter of exit the vehicle which could be thought of as a safety hazard. It was brought in to the dealership where I purchased the vehicle to be fixed 7 times. Three of the times they replaced the entire side triangle window, yet it still kept happening. The last time I brought the car in was 11/19/1999. The problem looks to be fixed now but only time will tell. The dealership has said that they have seen other blazers with this same problem, yet not as bad. It seems to be a design flaw which should be taken care off. There is a possibility that if there was an accident where the blazer caught on fire, the driver may not be able to quickly exit the vehicle due to this problem.
Had tried to start vehicle the 1st time & it failed to catch. Retried the 2nd time & finally caught. Weather was not a factor in starting vehicle. Had taken vehicle to dealer & mechanic replaced the battery. Also had fuel pump checked & replaced it. The new fuel pump terminal was broken & needed to be replaced. The computer chip was also replaced. In addition, pcv hose was not insulated & the windshield wiper washer was not working.
Makes loud popping sound. Fixed 1x in aug. Said it was control arm. Worked at first, now it's back. Help!
Severe water leak--left side of windshield.
Rear defrost, wiper switch.
My complaint is a result of poor design and placement of the power window switch on the rear doors. My wife, my two daughters and myself were waiting on a slow moving queue line. The vehicle was turned off but the key was in the on position. My wife and I were standing directly outside the vehilce. My 3 year old daughter was freely walking around the inside of the vehicle. She stood on the arm rest to see what was going on outside the car and inadvertantly stood on the power window switch. The switch is a toggle type where you push the switch down to put the window down but the biggest problemn is that you also push the other side of the switch down the put the window up. When she stood on the switch the window closed on her neck. We were fortunate to act quickly and stopped the window 1 1/2" inches from the fully closed position. I shutter to think of what would have happened if our actions werent as quick. We initially questioned why the drivers side window control switch was not engaged. The answer is that the switch not only controls the rear wondows but also the passenger door and is normally off for convenience for the passenger. I have to question why the passenger window is included in this control switch as it is illegal to have children in the front seat anyway. I also own a 98 honda accord and the designers of the power window switches in that vehicle have obviously taken this hazard into consideration where the switch has to be lifted in order to close the window. The switch location in my 98 blazer as well as design must be changed before something terrible happens to another child. Please feel free to contact me with regard to this matter.
Consumer continues to experience problems noise with brake system, several repairs of pad and rotors repositioning of the brake cables have not corrected problems. Yh
Windshield wiper design allows for building up of ice and snow on windshield and blades resulting in poor visibility.
