Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“I have been having intermittent problems with the windshield wipers for the a couple of years. I finally decided to try and fix the problem and discovered this is not an unusual problem with Gmc pickups. The windshield wipers may or may not work. Most of the time it is when it is a little damp outside but there is no set pattern. I can be driving down the road with them working fine and they just stop.”

NHTSA complaint #10095930, filed 2004-10, 63,000 miles

“The seat back on the driver's side leans too far back because the support to the seatback is bent causing the driver to be in a reclined position or sit up and drive with no back support, with the seat in this condition it is difficult for the driver to see over the dashboard. Nlm”
