Example complaints
Visibility (wipers, defrost, mirrors): “I own a 1993 Chevrolet k series pick up and am experiencing windshield wiper motor failure. The wipers will intermittently stop working usually in bad weather(heavy rain and snow). I understand there is a GM recall 03023 for vehicles of 1994 -1998. After reading this it is exactly what happens to my vehicle. Why are 1993's not included in this?”
NHTSA complaint #10021037, filed 2003-06, 58,000 milesTransmission and drivetrain: “The transmission was replaced at 15,312 miles, defaulted to 2nd gear. The transmission was not seeming to stay in gear at 47,028 miles, engine would suddenly rev-up then slowly take off (diagnosed by dealer as fuel pick up problem); however, I had their transmission service done at that time, 10 months ago. Now at 53485 miles the automatic transmission not shifting into gears automatically (dealer say it needs to be replaced again).”
