Example complaints

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

“The wind shield wipers are doing the exact same thing as the 1995 and 96 Gmc sierra trucks. I drive a 1998 Gmc so you think they would have figured this out by now. My wipers will work occasionally but not when you really need them. I know its not the motor because it has been checked out. I would appreciate it if Gmc would fix this problem.”
