1996 Chevrolet S-10 visibility problems

“RECALL ON WIPER MOTOR ON 1996 CHEVROLET S-10 PICKUP WAS DONE IN THE EARLY 90'S. WHENEVER IT RAINS NOW, WIPERS DON'T TURN OFF RIGHT AWAY. I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM BEFORE I HAD RECALL DONE, AND WAS OK UNTIL JUST RECENTLY. *JB”

“THERE IS AN INTERMITTENT SHORT IN THE WIPER CONTROL/ MOTOR SYSTEM THAT EACH TIME I REPORTED IT TO THE CHEVY DEALERS IN THIS AREA WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM . AND THAT THERE WERE NOT ANY OTHER REPORTS OF THIS KIND. AS I CAN SEE FROM THE NHTSA WEBSITE THIS IS PATENTLY UNTRUE. SINCE MY VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY PAST WARRANTY DUE TO YOUR AGENTS STALLING TACTICS , IF THIS LETTER DOES NOT BRING REDRESS TO THIS ISSUE I WILL BE FORCED TO TURN THIS ISSUE OVER TO MY ATTORNEYS. SINCERELY [XXX]. *AK *TR”

“TURN SIGNALS MALFUNCTIONED. THE A/C STOPPED WORKING DUE TO A FAULTY EVAPORATOR. THE STABILIZER BAR BROKE ON RIGHT SIDE WHICH CAUSED DRIFT/PULL. ENGINE COOLANT/ANTIFREEZE LEAKED. THE BALL JOINT FOR THE RIGHT-FRONT TIRE GAVE OUT. THE ALTERNATOR HAD TO BE FIXED AND REPLACED THE BATTERY. SPEEDOMETER SEEMED TO BE OFF BY 5 MPH. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD NOT WORK PROPERLY AND STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF A DOWN-POUR. THE DEVICE TO LOWER THE SPARE TIRE HAD TO BE REPLACED. *TT”

“EVER SINCE I HAVE HAD MY TRUCK THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS HAVE BEEN VERY INCONSISTANT. SOMETIMES THEY TURN ON WHEN I WANT THEM TO, AND SOMETIMES THEY DO NOT TURN ON. EVEN WHEN THEY DO TURN ON THEY TURN OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF USE. THIS HAS BECOME A GREAT HASSLE FOR ME, BECAUSE WHEN THEY DO NOT TURN ON WHEN IT IS RAINING MY VISIBILITY IS VERY RESTRICTED. THIS HAS BEEN VERY DANGEROUS, FOR EXAMPLE, ONE TIME I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND IT WAS POURING DOWN RAIN AND MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING, AND I COULD HARDLY SEE THE ROAD IN FRONT OF ME.”

“I HAVE EXPERIENCED INTERMITTENT WINDSHIELD WIPER FAILURE. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS VEHICLE WAS RECALLED SEVERAL YEARS AGO FOR THIS PROBLEM (NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 98V150001). A DEALER I CALLED SAID MY VEHICLE WAS NOT AFFECTED BY THIS RECALL. CAN YOU VERIFY THAT MY PARTICULAR TRUCK IS NOT AFFECTED?*AK”

“WHILE DRIVING 70MPH WINDSHIELD WIPERS JUST CUT OFF, CAUSING LOSS OF VISION OF ROAD.*AK CONSUMER THERE WAS A RECALL ISSUED, HOWEVER DID NOT APPLY TO VEHICLE DUE TO VIN. *JB”
