“I was currently at plainview texas, 2007 Chevrolet Silverado, unable to drive due to rain, had to stop to wait for rain to go away, wipers fell to work during cold weather. Both wiper froze causing them not to work, had to stop at different stores to check if there was something wrong. Once we enter el paso tx started to work. Not safe to drive on a cold weather, wipers should be able to work in any type of weather, I was in dangerous driving along with my 2 daughters and husband.”
NHTSA complaint #10583593, filed 2014-04, 70,182 miles“Roof support and exterior rear-view mirrors combine to create a wide blind spot on both driver and passenger sides. On the date mentioned, I nearly ran over a pedestrian as he was in the driver's side blind spot and as he walked across the street, remained in that area until I was almost on top of him. On many subsequent dates, I have had cars appear from 'no where' due to being in that area when I approach an intersection. I firmly believe this blind spot contributed to the death of a teenage girl driving a similar truck, she was killed at an intersection north of lyndon, kansas.”
NHTSA complaint #10332221, filed 2010-05, 120 miles“Vehicle has dual air condition (A/C) controls. The driver side starts blowing hot (heater hot) air all of a sudden. The passenger side is okay, stays cold. Even when the A/C is turned off it still blows hot air. Even with the windows open, it is still hot air coming out of the vents; like as if the heater is on. Close the vents but still blows hot. Have to stop a few minutes and something must reset because it works okay for a while. Sometimes have to stop several times to get home or pull off to the side of the road. I live and drive in south texas... It gets 105 in the shade... …”
