IN HIGH HEAT OF TEXAS (SINCE MY MOVE HERE LST SUMMER), IT SEEMS MY TRANSMISSION COOLER CLICKS INTO SERVICE AS DESIGNED WHEN ENGINE TEMPS GET TOO HOT, MY SPEED DECREASES BUT I CAN HEAR MY ENGINE REVS INCREASING, BUT I LOSE ALL DRIVE POWER WHEN IT DOES, IT HAS ONLY HAPPENED WHEN TEMPS ARE ABOVE THE MID 90S, LAST TIME I WAS PULLING MY TRAILER AT 65 MPH GOING UP A SHORT HILL ON AN EXPRESSWAY AND I LOST ALL POWER BEFORE GETTING TO THE TOP, MY SPEED DECREASED TO 30 MPH, I HAD NO WAY TO WARN DRIVERS BEHIND ME, WHO ERE GOING 65+, THAT I WAS SLOWING DOWN, MY FEAR IS SOMEONE WOULD RAM INTO MY REAR END ..... HAVE BROUGHT THIS TO THE DEALER 4 TIMES NOW, IF, AS I HAVE BEEN TOLD, THERE IS NOT A DEFECT, THEN IT SEEMS WE HAVE A HUGE DESIGN FLAW

THERE IS A SWITCH THAT ENGAGES THE BRAKES UNDER THE BRAKE PEDAL. THIS SWICH FAILED AND KEPT THE BRAKES ON FOR THE LAST 300 MILES OF A TRIP. THIS WORE THE BRAKES OUT AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AT ABOUT 6000 MILES. THE DEALER REPLACED THE SWITCH AND REDID THE BRAKES TO MAKE THEM WORK. WHAT THIS INCLUDED I FOUND OUT AT 23,000 MILES WHEN MY BRAKES NEEDED TO BE REDONE AGAIN. THE REAR DRUMS ARE BLUE FROM THE HEAT. THE FRONT ROTORS WERE TURNED TO WITHIN 0.001 OF SCRAP. I HAD TO REPLACE THEM AT 23,000 MILES. THE DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT LOOK AT THE CAR THE SECOND TIME WITHOUT CHARGING $50.00 AND BASICALLY SAID THAT THE TRUCK WAS OUT OF WARRENTY AND TOUGH COOKIES. IT IS GOOD TO KNOW THAT THEY HAVE FINALLY BEEN CAUGHT ON THIS. PS THEY ALSO REPLACED MY TRANSMISSION DUE TO THE CONVERTER PUMP UP PROBLEM.

THE WIPER MOTOR WILL WORK INTERMITTENTLY. IF A BUMP IS HIT WIPERS WILL CUT OUT. RECALL ISSUED ON 1995 AND 1996 MODELS BUT NOT 1994. WE OWN TWO 1994 S10 AND BOTH ARE HAVING THE PROBLEMS WITH WIPER MOTOR. WIPER MOTOR HAS CUT OUT TRAVELLING IN RAIN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WITH IS A DEFINITE SAFETY HAZARD.

WHEN BARKES ARE APPLIED AT ANY SPEED, BRAKES MAKE A CRUNCHING NOISE, & PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR. THIS OCCURS WHEN DRIVING OVER ANY SMALL OR LARGE BUMPS. BRAKES HAVE TO BE PUMPED TO STOP, MANY NEAR ACCIDENTS. THE NUMBER OF FAILURES & SPECIFIC DATES WERE NOT PROVIDED, TOO NUMEROUS TO PUT IN THAT SECTION OF THE QUESTIONAIRE.

I OWN BOTH A 1995 S10 CHEVY BLAZER AND 1994 CHEVY S10 PICKUP, BOTH OF WHICH HAVE DEFECTIVE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WHICH WORK INTERMITTENTLY. I FOUND A NHTSA RECALL #98V150000 FOR 1995 TO 1997 S10S AND BLAZERS WHICH ALLOWED ME TO HAVE MY BLAZER FIXED. HOWEVER, THE RECALL DOES NOT INCLUDE 1994 MODELS. WHY ARE THEY NOT INCLUDED IF THEY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM? I HAVE NOTICED POSTINGS FROM OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM ON 1994 MODEL YEARS WHICH INDICATES MINE IS NOT A UNIQUE CASE.

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM MY 2ND JOB ON 4/27/99 AROUND 9:00 PM, IT WAS RAINING AND MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE WORKING AS I LEFT MY JOB, BUT BEFORE I COULD MAKE IT A MILE DOWN THE ROAD THEY QUIT. I HAD TO STOP IN A DIMLY LIT INDUSTRIAL PARK AND TRY TO GET THEM TO COME BACK ON, I WAS NOT ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH THAT. I HAD TO DRIVE HOME IN THE POURING RAIN WITH MY HEAD HANGING OUT THE WINDOW BASICALLY, IT WAS EITHER THAT OR WALK IN THE DARK AND RAIN. I COULD HAVE HAD AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THESE FAULTY WIPERS. ALSO, SINCE I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK IN '94 MY BRAKES HAVE COLLAPSED NUMEROUS TIMES, AT ONE POINT THEY COLLAPSED WHEN I WAS GOING DOWN A SLIGHT HILL, WHEN THEY COLLAPSED I SWERVED EVER SO SLIGHTLY AND SIDE-SWIPPED A CURB WHICH DAMAGED MY RIM AND CAUSED A FLAT. SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE MASTER CYLINDER REPLACED, THE BRAKES REPLACED CONSTANTLY, AND ANYTIME I TAKE IT TO A SHOP TO BE REPAIRED THEY CANNOT FIND THE PROBLEM. I ONLY HAVE 68,000 MILES ON A 5 YEAR OLD TRUCK AND I HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL DRIVING IT BECAUSE I NEVER KNOW IF THE BRAKES WILL STOP. *AK
