| There was a recall on the 1995 chevy blazer and certain 1994-1996 c-k trucks,tahoes and suburbans for a windshield wiper problem,i had a 1995 blazer, and i also have a 1995 truck. i took the blazer in for repair which they fixed. now my truck is doing the very same thing,which is, sometimes when i turn on the wipers, they work intermittently or not at all. this is a serious problem when i'm going 65 mph in the rain. i called chevrolet customer assistance only to find out my truck is not on the recall list, but i assure you it should be, because it is unsafe. *ak | |||
