This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Vehicle experiencing problem with windshield wipers intermittently stop working during operation, or do not work at all. Also heater intermittently stops working, as well. Both problems cause poor visibility, and can lead to a vehicle collision. Dealer notified.
Windshield wipers are intermittent, it was taken to the dealership and verified, however, this VIN was not included in the recall for the 95 Chevrolet Blazer 2. antilock brakes were also inspected and found to be defective by dealership, but again the VIN for this vehicle was not included in the recall for the anti-lock brakes for 95 Chevrolet Blazer. 3. passenger side rear view mirror has cracked and broke off two times. The cracks are originating on the underside of the mirror support. After speaking with the dealership, they indicated to have the same problem with their parts vehicle which is also a 95 Chevrolet Blazer, and I have talked with two other people who own Blazer who had the same defect. I have also tried to locate a used mirror in junk yards, in altus ok, lubbock, tx, and valdosta ga. None of the junk yards had any, they had the vehicles but the mirrors had already been bought. They second mirror I installed broke off and was dangling by the wires while driving down the interstate at 70mph nearly causing an accident, and not to mention it made it difficult to see drivers on the passenger side of the vehicle while changing lanes.
While driving down in raining conditions windshield wipers will stop working. If consumer hits a bump they will come back on. When this happens the consumer has to pull over until wind shield wipers come back on. Also, ABS brakes are making a growling noise when stopping. Has not been to a dealer.
Intermittently windshield wipers would quit working in the middle of operation. The problem was reported to the dealership. Wiper problem corrected by dealer at owner's expense. Truck not included in recall 98V150000/001 GM/windsshield wiper wiring due to VIN.
The windshield wiper system is intermittently inoperable at times. Identical to NHTSA campaign id # 98V150001. Chevrolet refuses to accept my vehicle under this recall since it was manufactured 7/94 instead of 8/94. I had the problem fixed by Chevy; the fix consisted of replacing the same board identified by the recall. I had an electrician exam the board, since I kept the old one, and he identified the problem with the solder joints being cracked near the wiring harness. Yet Chevy will not recognize this as the problem that the recall was issued for. How many more vehicles were missed" how do I get reimbursed for this since Chevy charged me to fix their faulty manufacturing problem on the vehicle I bought from them"
Consumer received a recall notice on the windshield wipers. She made an appointment with dealer. Vehicle was left at the dealership on 12-may-99 for repair. When owner picked the vehicle up, recall work was not done. Manufacturer has been notified.
Vehicle experienced failure of the windshield wipers prior to recall on two occasions, however reimbursement for one repair is not included in the recall repair.
Although I experience the problem associated with campaign id 98V150000, Chevrolet says that my vehicle is not part of the recall. The Chevrolet customer service section could not tell me why it is not included, nor would they refer me to any other individual to try to find out why.
The windshield wipers have a malfunction. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. I can be driving down the street, with the wipers on, and they will just quit. Sometimes, when it starts raining they won't even come on. It's frustrating and dangerous. Chevy has a recall out for this problem, they state that it effects 1995 S-10S, but according to my VIN, my vehicle is not part of the recall. Obviously, that is incorrect, my wipers are doing exactly what the recall states. I fail to understand why my truck is not considered under this recall. This is not the first problem I have had with this vehicle. This truck is a lemon. I have numerous other problems for which Chevy was unwilling to even consider as a possible manufacture defect. One of those conditions was a problem with the egr valve. I tried to tell them there was a problem. I had the egr replaced at about 40 or 50K. Now Chevy wants to send a recall notice out. Of course they only reimburse if the repairs were made by a Chevy dealer, mine weren't. I also had a defective transmission replaced at 45K. Chevy wasn't willing to listen to me about that either. I guess the commercial that george straight makes for Chevy is false advertising. I wonder how george would feel if he knew he was supporting such a sorry operation\product. I realize these problems are unrelated to my original complaint. I have a shoe box full of receipts. I will weed through them and send another questionaire regarding these issues. Thanks so much for your time.
The windshield wipers on my truck stopped in mid-wipe during a recent rain storm twice while I was traveling on interstate 24, during a heavy rainstorm. I called the dealer and was told that the vehicle was under recall. When I took the vehicle in this morning I was told it was not under recall and that it would cost $81.25 to replace the wiper module. I paid for the repair but feel that if they are recalling S-10's for this reason that mine should have been repaired also. It appears that the recall does not take care of the total problem, but only a portion of the vehicles with problems. Please assist me and other S-10 owners that this effects.
