Ongoing problem with driver's side power window door would allow windows to go down, and intermittently would not allow them to be returned upwards. Dealer notified and replaced switch, but problem still occurs. Notifed manufacturer and informed consumer that they were unable to do anything at this time. Consumer would have to take vehicle back to dealer when the problem reoccurs. Seeking help from NHTSA in this matter.
Windshield wipers will intermittently cut out and shut off on their own. Chevrolet has not been contacted. The original tires had tread separation and the second set of tires purchased by the consumer as replacement also have tread separation. Tire size p275/60r15. Second set of tires only have 27000 miles on them, tires are Goodyear Eagle gt ii.
Our pickup has intermiting windshield wipers. Sometimes they stop completely, change speeds, and itermit by themselves while driving. I am aware of NHTSA campaign id number 98V150000, and when I called GM they said our vehicle wasn't one of the recalled vehicles. How do I confirm if or if not my vehicle should be recalled for this problem.
Windshield wipers failed while vehicle traveling at 70 MPH during rain storm. GM currently has recall for 1994-1996 vehicles for this exact problem (campaign #98043). GM says that my VIN is not on the recall list therefore will not reimburse for repair charges. Getting my VIN on the recall list will force GM to reimburse.
Windshield wipers work intermittently while in operation or not at all, causing severe poor visibility while driving, and could lead to a vehicle crash. Dealer notified, and informed consumer that vehicle was not cover under manufacturer's recall. Please feel free to provide any additional information.
Windshield wiper motor would only work on a slow delay motion. Vehicle inspected by dealer, and was informed that thiswas due to a defective pivot drive assembly. Dealer refused to repair unless cost goes to consumer. Consumer believed this was a manufacturer's defect. Seeking help from NHTSA.
Driver's and the passenger's seats move forward and backward, which May cause a loss of vehicle control and injuries to occupants. Dealer cannot determine the cause of the problem, rear tail light continually has water which has leaked into socket, the windows seep water also.et.
Ongoing problem with windshield wipers intermittently working due to a defective motor. At the time of the problem dealer was unable to resolve the problem while vehicle was under warranty. Currently, vehicle out of warranty and problem will only be resolved at consumer's cost.
While driving the windshield wipers would come on their own, and when the consumer turned them off, they continued to come right on. Driving at night the windshield wipers come right on as the consumer starts to drive. Contacted dealer, can't deterimine the problem.
Consumer noticed after turning the windshield wiper switch on, the wiper would not work. Consumer would tap on the motor and the motor would start working. Ts the module on the wiper failed, disallowing the wipers to operate normally. The module has been replaced.
