1994 Chevrolet S10 visibility complaints
Page 3 of 9: complaints 41 to 70 of 241, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Windshield wiper on 1994 chevrolet s-10 has frequent intermittent problems where it does not switch on or turn off when it does come on.
The vehicle experienced the same defect with it's windshield wiper wiring as stated in recall 98 v 150 000. The consumers vehicle was not included in the recall due to VIN.
Exterior rear view mirrors attached to vehicle with insufficiently strong materials that tend to break during temperature swings or through application of light force. Driver's side mirror broke in august of 2001 of unknown circumstances, passenger's side mirror broke on march 1 2003 during a car wash. Inspection of mirror and door showed plastic housing was cracked and bolts were shorn off.
Windshield wipers work intermittently and only for a short period of time. They usually stop working when most needed, usually during periods of rain.
Windshield wipers failed due to defective wiper motor module. Was told by an auto parts store, the local dealer's parts department, and a dealer technician that the original circuit board was defective on the s-10, and the full-size pickup, for several years.
This is in reference to the federal safety agency campaign number 98v150001. I accidentally came across this website and found this campaign notice for 1995 chevrolet s-10 model pick ups and newer. I own a 1994 s-10 and am experiencing the same problems. Did the federal safety agency look at the 1994 models since they are the same body styles? I'm sure other 1994 owners are experiencing the same problems. Thanks
The windshield wipers fail intermittently and without warning making it difficult for the consumer to see during inclement weather. *ts
The federal safety agency recall 98 v 150 000/ manufacturer's recall 98043 concerning windshield wipers. Consumer stated the wipers work intermittently or would stop during operation. Nlm the electronic board was replaced. However after several years, the problem is reoccurred. *tt *jb.
Consumer states that the windshield wipers will intermittenly work, contacted dealer several times of the past five years and they have not done anything for the consumer. Nlm
While driving 80mph in rain windshield wipers stopped working, causing zero visibilty.
Windshield wiper motor is intermittent. Functions normally, or will not start, or will not stop. Unable to predict function.
While driving and with no warning windshield wipers will work intermittently, and will cause consumer to have visibility problems in rainy weather. Dealer notified.
While driving 45mph in rain windshield wipers shut off.
Windshield wipers work intermittently. There is recall 98v150000, but this vehicle is not affected due to VIN.
Windshield wiper switch had a short in wiring that would cause wipers to stop running in the middle of rainstorms, or they would not operate at all. Smoke would come up from the steering column as a result. Also affected the turn signals at times.
While driving consumer tried to use windshield wipers on a rainy day and without warning windshield wipers became inoperable. Dealer has been notified.*ak

Windshield wipers work only intermittently,.vehicle has not been examined by dealer.
While driving in the rain windshield wipers will not come on, and sometimes will not turn off until car turns off.
Windshield wipers fail intermittently, sometimes they work...sometimes they don't, when driving in the rain they may quit working at anytime (sometimes in a downpour) sometimes I can get them to work again by yanking on the blades, sometimes not. Experienced same problem 3 years ago and had star cheverolet replace the "black box" motor ($300.) and now they're failing again.....mechaninc at the time said "too bad this truck isn't a 95 or 96 cause those models were recalled.....when asked why the 94's were not included, he replied "propbably not enough complaints" my main concern is safety following another replacement of the wiper motor, how can I be assured while driving in the rain, the wipers won't stop working at any time? In addition, a $300 expense every couple years just to be able to safely drive in the rain seems a bit inapropriate to expect the consumer to endure the expense and risk, especially if other models have already been recalled due to know problems.
Windshield wipers intermittently work during inclement weather. Visibility is reduced, and this poses an unreasonable risk to safety when windshield wipers fail. Dealership has not examined the vehicle for this problem, and informed consumer that vehicle was not included in recall campaign 98v150000 due to VIN. *ak
Windshield wipers will quit working, if I wiggle the wire connector going into the motor they will start working again. I have been told that there is a recall of these wiper motors but when I contacted g.m. They said there was no recall and I was not going to be helped .
Windshield wipers work intermittently and failed when they were needed for driving purposes, dealership informed consumer that this vehicle was not covered by recall 98v150000. *ak consumer was told that the bulletin only covered vehicles built in shreveport, this vehicle has a uaw sticker on the door column.
Proper operation of windshield wipers are intermittent. Dealership informed consumer that this vehicle is not included in recall 98v150000, and has not made a determination as to the cause of the problem. Please provide any additional information / attachments.
Windshield wipers are intermitent and don't work at all times.
Windshield wipers had not been working on occasion. I went to the chevrolet dealer and they told me that other chevrolet trucks had been recalled for this same thing, but my truck did not have the right VIN number to get it replaced. They wanted something like $250 for the same thing that was broken on all the other chevrolet s10. A wire is located badly and it breaks or shorts out or something. I can not afford that. Then one day going 60 MPH in a pouring rain storm they completly shut off. We could not see a thing. We had to pull over to the side of the road. We were in heavy traffic and could not see anything! Per the seat belts. They lock and with every move, or breath the seat belt tightens and chokes and squeezes the passager until you have to take it off, hand feed the seat belt back into the holder and then try to rebuckle your self. This is dangerous when you are on the high way or anywhere for that matter. You should not be cut inhalf just breathing in a seatbelt. Thank you.
While traveling windshield wipers would stop working. Consumer would have to pull over, and move windshield wipers by hand to return to normal use. Please provide furhter information.
Windshield wipers is are working intermittently as in recall #98v150000, but truck was manufactured in march 1994 and appears to be exempt.
Windshield wipers work one minute or one day and not the next. I see where 1995 s10s have been recalled for this problem. My truck was made late in the model year--maybe it has a 1995 wiper module? My local dealer is going to replace the wiper module, but of course I'll have to pay for it because it hasn't been recalled.
