Windshield wipers come on and off intermittently in inclement weather. *ak the check engine light illuminates and when it does the transmission doesn't shift. The front of the vehicle bounces and pulls to one side. Wipers would fail while driving, but by the time the consumer got home and tried them again, they worked.

What owners say
The vehicle described pulls to the left or right depending on the lay of the road. It will not go straight at any time without applying correction with the steering wheel. I researched the "customer complaints" for the 1998 gm series (olds bravada, gmc jimmy, chev blazer). The customer complaints are staggering. The trend on this safety issue is profound. Gm has a problem and so do the consumers. Have you picked up on this trend? Are there studies? Gm had a recall to re-torgue a steering linkage bolt. That's not the problem overall. It extends into newer models too. I think we need help before we have another firestone/ford explorer like problem. Please investigate. Please advise on results. Thanks for helping because it is evident that gm is aware of the problem and has not fixed it. There are lots of failures, lots of crashes, lots of injuries, and I'm sure some loss of life. And I'm only seeing what has been reported to you. I would bet it is a very big problem. Thanks again. Don sellars.
