1998 Chevrolet Blazer

WE OWN (MY WIFE) A 1998 CHEVY BLAZER. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS BEGAN TO QUIT FOR NO REASON INTERMITTENTLY ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO. WE WERE RECENTLY TRAVELING WEST ON I-70 JUST PAST THE EISENHOWER TUNNEL IN COLORADO IN A RAGING DOWNPOUR, AND THEY QUIT AGAIN NEARLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. I'VE READ ON THE WEB THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE WIPER MOTOR PULSE MODULE FOR MANY YEARS' BLAZER MODELS, BUT NOT THE '98 OR '99, WHICH ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM ACCORDING TO THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS I'VE READ ON THE WEB. I BELIEVE THE 1998 MODEL BLAZER PULSE MODULE SHOULD BE RECALLED ALSO. CAN'T YOU COMPEL GM TO RECALL THIS ALSO? I'VE READ NUMEROUS STORIES ON THE WEB OF PEOPLE GETTING INTO ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. GM SHOULD FIX IT FOR FREE. *NM

DT: CONSUMER STATES THAT THE LEVERS ON THE FRONT TWO SEATS BROKE. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE 2001. THE OWNER CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER. THE MANUFACTURER TOLD THE OWNER TO KEEP REPLACING THE LEVERS WITH THE SAME IDENTICAL PART WITH WHAT THEY PROVIDED. AFTERWARDS, THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE LEVERS. THEY KEPT BREAKING. OWNER DECIDED TO GO TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP WERE THE LEVERS WERE MADE OUT OF METAL AND WERE LASTING . THEY HAVE NOT BROKEN SINCE THE OWNER CHANGED THE LEVERS TO METAL. CURRENTLY, THE OWNER WAS GOING TO HAVE TO REPLACE THE LEVER ON THE OTHER SEAT WHICH WOULD COST $113.52. THE OWNER STATED THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL, THAT THEY REPLACE THE LEVER WITH REAL METAL INSTEAD OF FLIMSY METAL, AND THE MANUFACTURERS SHOULD REIMBURSE THE CONSUMER. *AK *JB
