I HAVE A 1998 4X4 CHEVROLET BLAZER. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE IN AUGUST OF 2002. SINCE THEN, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS HAVE QUIT OFF AND ON. IF THE QUIT, I HAVE TO TAPE THE WIRING HARNESS WHERE THEY PLUG IN. IT APPEARS THAT THE HARNESS BEGINS TO SAG AFTER TIME AND PULLS THE PLUGS OUT. *AK

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER:SWITCH/WIRING
AT NIGHT DURING A POURING RAINSTORM MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING ON A NARROW TWO LANE ROAD. THINK THIS WON'T QUICKEN YOUR PULSE? REPAIR WAS $166.00 AND MY MECHANIC SAYS THIS IS A FREQUENT REPAIR IN HIS SHOP. I SEE PLENTY OF COMPAINTS FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM IN THE 1998 MODEL. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE AND A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED.

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER:MOTOR
I AM THE OWNER OF A 1998 CHEVY BLAZER. MY WIPERS HAVE CEASED TO FUNCTION AND THERE IS A LARGE RECALL ON GM VEHICLES 1994-1997. MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED IN OCT. 1997 AND SO WAS THE WIPER BOX. THE RECALL WAS FOR 1.77 MILLION TRUCKS. I THINK IT SHOULD ALSO INCLUDE THE EARLY 1998 (TECHNICALLY THEY ARE 1997) VEHICLE. MY VIN # IS [XXX]. WITH GM/CHEVY KNOWING THE ENORMITY OF THIS PROBLEM, IT IS NO FAIR THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY 125.00 TO CORRECT THEIR DEFECT IN THEIR PRODUCT. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TRANSMISSION SHIFTS EXTREMELY ROUGH, PROBLEM IS EVEN WORSE WHEN VEHICLE IS WARM. PROBLEM STARTED AT 70,000 MILES. FOUND OUT THROUGH RESEARCH THAT THIS PROBLEM IS EXTREMELY COMMON IN CHEVROLET TRUCKS, VANS, AND SUVS FROM 1995-1999. WHY NO RECALL YET?
