1998 Chevrolet Blazer Other or unknown Problems

“The windshield wipers fail to work properly. They stop working at the most inopportune times...like when there is a rain fall and they are needed for safety and visibility. I contacted GM and was told they have not received enough complaints to warrant a recall. The recall is available on 94 to 96 models. However, the manufacture date on my vehicle is 2/17/1997. In a torrential rain fall, going 50 MPH on the interstate, the w/s wipers stopped, it was a very dangerous situation, especially when an 18 wheeler passed my son, whom was driving and splashed extra water on the vehicle. …”

“While driving at 45 MPH, the vehicle was involved in a collision that caused the vehicle to roll over four times. As a result, the driver sustained severe body injuries, which included one hundred and eleven stitches and had to be hospitalized for eleven days. The cause has yet to be determined. Please provide additional information.”

“While driving down the road, the vehicle sounded as if someone was tampering with the locking mechanism. The consumer states that the rear hatch opened on its own, when the engine was off. The locks continued to click. Ts per-invoice; electrical repair-relay, found the body control module faulty-replaced the bcm battery, found the the switch for the endgate glass inop/shorted replaced. Scc”

“Chevrolet has seen the truck several times and will not do anything about the problem and I have talked to other people that have the same truck and they also have the same problem.I would like to know if there is something else that can be done about it. No safety defect mentione din summary.”

“2 years ago in the fall, I went to firestone with a complaint of no heat. With no heat, the defrosters are slow or do not clear the windshield in a quick or safe manner. Firestone replaced the thermostat and I had sufficient (not hot like in the past) heat until this past november. Again with no heat or efficient defrosters, I took my vehicle to wilson's auto service. They said my thermostat was completely open--the spring was caught. They performed service to the extent of replacing the thermostat and backflushing the heater core. …”
