Two problems related to wiper have been reported for the 2000 Chevrolet Blazer. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 10/02/2014

I was driving yesterday when I smelled something burning. I looked and noticed my rear window was glowing orange and then the rear window exploded!.

2 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 12/21/2008

Occasionally the front wipers on my 2000 chevy Blazer would stop working for no reason at all and eventually after a few minutes would kick back on, but as of yesterday Dec 21 2008 they will not come back on. I was informed that this is probably due to a bad wiper circuit board. This same problem occurred and had a recall for a 1997 chevy s10 pickup. And guess what??? they use the same part number. However chevy will not replace the wiper circuit board on my vehicle because there was never a recall on my specific vehicle model/year. If it is the same part and I am having the same problem this should be replaced by the manufacturer. Now out of pocket I am looking at $150 or a little more depending on what parts store I can find this circuit board at. I called several dealerships and the chevy 1-800#. To me this is unacceptable, if it is the same part number that had a problem in a previous vehicle then it should be covered under the recall notice.
