98 chevy camaro: running lights melt and cause bulb to fuse with fixture. This has already happened on this car three times. I think that this problem really needs to be investigated for recall replacement at chevy's cost. They know this part melts. They know it has a history. The part seems to have a lifespan of 2 1/2 years. I am expecting the other one to melt soon as they did the last time within a month or so of each other. It seems that chevy would rather be forced to replace a part, then simply protecting it's drivers. This is my last hope to get the running lights replaced since the part is defective. Other defective parts, moody ignition, driver side mirror, and windshield wipers.
Driving on highway at night in a pouring rain, windshield wipers stopped working. Since then sometimes they work and sometimes they don't, all on the same trip. Car has been to dealer twice and they cannot duplicate the problem.
Twice under warranty windshield wipers failed to come on and the dealer (different from where I bought the car) replaced the wiper motor. The repair lasted approx. 1 year before the next failure. Now that the warranty is over all of a sudden it's the switch and will cost me $275.00. The same symptoms each time- wipers would not operate until put on full or by pushing the mist control first.
Winshield wipers occasionally failed to operate, dealer replaced module. Recall issued on the same part for the 1996 chev s10. *ak
While traveling on the freeway with windshield wipers on the second highest setting, the passenger-side windshield wiper arm broke in half. The wiper assembly slid up the windshield, flew over the top of my car, and landed in the middle of the freeway. Fortunately, the only driver behind me was several hundred yards away.
