“I have a 1994 chevy 1500 truck that I have found to have the same problems as are involved in a chevy recall but my truck is not included. It has exactly the same problems as the ones involved in your recall. How ever I am required to pay for this fix. I do not believe you vehicles have been looked at closely enough for all with this problem to have been included. Our wiper circuit board is not working just as all the ones that are covered. We are very dissatisfied with service at Chevrolet.”
NHTSA complaint #10171343, filed 2006-10, 125,000 miles“Windshield wipers stop working and then they would start again and stop again. Sometimes I would have to pull over until they would start again or until it stopped raining. This has been doing this every since I bought this truck.”
NHTSA complaint #10020599, filed 2003-05, 100,000 miles“Windshield wipers will work intermittantly. Never know if they are going to come on. Have made driving impossible at times. Have had to pull over and wait for conditions to improve befroe proceeding. This has been an ongoing problem for over 10 months. I understand there is a recall for this problem, but my vehicle is not listed under the recall notice. When I discussed it with my dealer they told me that the same board is being replaced in other types of vehicles, but they have not been authorized to change them out in my vehicle. …”
NHTSA complaint #10040859, filed 2003-09, 136,000 miles“Rear brake line corroded thru and failed causing low speed accident. No injuries thank god. But it was a bad experience not being able to stop a 5000lb truck at any speed, I will attest to that!”
NHTSA complaint #10955703, filed 2017-02, 168,000 miles“Dt: the contact stated the windshield wipers worked intermittently. This has been happening for about a year. He took the vehicle to the dealership, and they informed him there was NHTSA recall 03v159000, but this vehicle was not included due to VIN. There had been no corrections prior to this, but the vehicle is at the dealership being repaired now.”
