Example complaints

“While lowering driver's power window a snap occured and the window fell to the bottom. I contacted my local repair center. They informed me that it was a dealer only item. That the entire regulator assembly would have to be replaced. I spoke to the dealership and they informed me they had gone through hundreds! I veiwed the broken item and the steel cable seemed to be a design flaw, allowing water to settle at cable entrance. Why replace the entire regulator $235.91?”
NHTSA complaint #10108141, filed 2005-01, 103,000 miles“The two rear power windows on my 2000 chevy Tahoe developed internal intermittent shorts at the exact same time. I have also experienced trouble with the two front power windows not working at times. The dealership stated they have seen prior problems with the power windows in the Tahoe's. My vehicle only had 23751 miles on it at the time the back window motors were replaced. I was charged over $400.00 for these repairs. It seems to me the problem with the motors is a factory defect and I shouldn't be held liable for the expense of replacement.”
NHTSA complaint #10060010, filed 2004-02, 21,004 miles“Windshield wiper motor circuit board failure. Windshield wipers worked only intermittently, then stopped operating totally. After further investigation and troubleshooting, found open circuit in pc board contained in the the wiper motor housing. Looks like GM has still not addressed this issue even though their are recalls on earlier vehicles for the same type of failure.”
NHTSA complaint #10037421, filed 2003-09, 53,000 miles“Rear windows intermittently would not work and then both failed at the same time. N eeded to replace both motors and regulators.cost of repair exceeded $425.00. Apparently there is a service bulletin on this and a known defect like this should be covered by the manufacturer.”
NHTSA complaint #10088228, filed 2004-08, 40,750 miles“Neither one of the electric passenger windows will work. One will work at times and then at other times it will not. The window will not go down or up. This could purpose a problem especially with people with small children. You would have to break a glass to get in the passenger windows if needed. Chevrolet should fix this problem as it is a recurring problem in the Tahoe. I would be glad to know they are willing to fix this problem.”
