Example complaints

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

“I own a 1994 Gmc Yukon and the windshield wipers quit working without warning. Sometimes they will start working on their own, sometimes you have to tug on them to get them to start up again. The recall says 1994 to 1997 but I have not received a letter. Gm says my VIN is not included. This is a joke, there is definately a defect and this is very dangerous as I drive 68 miles a day.”

NHTSA complaint #10062153, filed 2004-03, 185,000 miles

“Vehicle experienced the same defect with its windshield wipers as stated in recall 03 v 159 000. The consumers vehicle was not included in the recall due to VIN. The windshield wiper worked almost 70% of the time. Sometimes the wiper wouldn't shut off by using the switch but when the would finally go off the stopped in the middle of the windshield which made it difficult to see.”

NHTSA complaint #10026739, filed 2003-07, 38,000 miles

NHTSA complaint #10061235, filed 2004-04, 161,000 miles

“The contact owns a 1994 Gmc Yukon. The contact stated that the windshield wipers worked intermittently. The dealer stated that the VIN was not included in NHTSA campaign id number 03v159000 (visibility:windshield wiper/washer), although the failures were identical. The vehicle will be repaired at the contact's expense. The failure mileage was 155,000 and current mileage was 160,000.”

NHTSA complaint #10265890, filed 2009-04, 155,000 miles

“Windshield wipers completly stopped working in a winter storm 12/09/03. I found out about a recall on the wiper circuit board and took it to the dealership and told them what had happened. They did nothing but look at the VIN and told me that my 1994 Yukon needed a circuit but did not fit into the recall. They were going to charge me $85.00 for something that many others get fixed for free. They knew what was wrong with the wipers without any exam at all. That tells me that there must also be a problem with all on the circuit boards in all of the trucks. …”
