VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER:MOTOR
WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY IN THE LATE AFTERNOON, IT BEGAN TO RAIN VERY HARD. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE TURNED ON AND WHERE OPERATING CORRECTLY FOR ABOUT FIVE MINUTES WHEN SUDDENLY THEY STOPPED. IT WAS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE BUT, I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY. I TRIED THE SWITCH SEVERAL TIMES WITHOUT ANY SUCCESS. WHILE SITTING ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD THE WIPERS STARTED AGAIN AND CONTINUED TO WORK. I DECIDED TO PULL BACK ON THE ROAD BUT, AFTER ABOUT ANOTHER THREE MINUTES THEY STOPPED AGAIN IN MID STRIDE. AGAIN I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER. I GOT OUT OF THE TRUCK AND GRABBED THE WIPER ARM. AS SOON AS I TOUCHED IT BEGAN TO OPERATE AGAIN. *AK

#723801June 9, 2000
POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE VEHICLE MOVED BACKWARD, ON TWO OCCASIONS IN 1999, WHILE RUNNING AND PARKED ON A SLIGHT INCLINE. THE TRANSMISSION WAS FULLY ENGAGED IN PARK ON BOTH OCCASIONS. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS CONDITION (NHTSA 94V093000), BUT THE RECALL STATES THAT THE S-SERIES TRUCKS ARE EXCLUDED BECAUSE THEY ARE "ONLY 2-WHEEL DRIVE." I HAVE CONTACTED CHEVROLET MOTOR COMPANY AND HHTSA AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED, BASED UPON THE VIN. HOWEVER, MY S-SERIES BLAZER IS 4-WHEEL DRIVE, I BELIEVE THAT THE TRANSMISSION FITS THE RECALL DESCRIPTION, AND THE PROBLEM THAT I EXPERIENCED (I.E., THE VEHICLE CAME OUT OF PARK WHILE RUNNING) IS THE CONDITION FOR WHICH THE TRANSMISSION WAS RECALLED. I, THEREFORE, BELEIVE THAT THE STATEMENT EXCLUDING S-SERIES TRUCKS BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT 4-WHEEL DRIVE IS INCORRECT AND NEGLECTS THE OCCURRENCE OF A DANGEROUS CONDITION IN THE S-SERIES VEHICLES LIKE MINE.
