NHTSA complaint #10115524, filed 2005-04, 103,668 miles“The speed ometer works intermittenly and the windshield wipers also work intermittenly. Sometimes the car stalls, or will not start and when taken to a dealer they came nothing is wrong. It also will sometimes run rough and will have a service engine soon light come on. I did receive a letter from Chevrolet regarding some of these problems, but I was told my car did not qualify for a recall repair because there was nothing wrong.”
NHTSA complaint #715366, filed 1999-11“Vehicle transports 5 children and handicapped wife-- if wiper motor goes out during travel at high rate of speed an accident will occur/ we have just gotten lucky. 2 auto places said that part is on recall from Chevrolet but can't find any definate information or recall number to complain to Chevrolet. My kids range from 16-4 and I would hate for an accident to cause their lives if it can be avoided. Is their a recall on this part? What is the recall number? Thank you.”

The problem is intermittent, causing wipers to fail at high speeds on heavily trafficked roads, during the rain. This has placed my family at risk as it appears to have done to many others. If you cannot see the pattern here, please contact me and I will be glad to give you a list of the odi id numbers, such as 861175, 719100, 853252, 847447, 847065.”
