What 1995 Chevrolet C Series owners say
Windows, wipers & sunroof
Windshield wipers fail to work properly in the rain. This causes driver to have poor visibility. Would need to roll down driver's window & jerk on wipers to get started. Has not been to dealer. Its an intermittent problem, but now being more continuous. Going under hood, can jiggle wires for wipers to move.
Wipers quit working, after wiggling the wiring harness going into the electric wiper motor the wipers will work again for a while. Automatic gear shift lever will stick in park sometime, resuilting in reaching up in the steering column to free it up. Has happen 50-75 times
Transmission & drivetrain
Dt: consumer sates: he had a clutch plate and a shaft replaced on the transmission in October 2004. In the past when he was pulling an r.v. Trailer he had no problem pulling the mountain passes (in oregon). After he had the parts replaced, while pulling a mountain pass,going approx. 45 MPH, he lost the clutch. It went straight to the floor. He was able to get off the road. The next morning, after the engine had cooled the clutch was fine. The dealership can't see anything wrong with the clutch, because they test it when the engine is cold. The manufacturer said he would have to take it up with the dealership.
ABS sensor light stays on. Both front and rear brakes were recently replaced and were in good condtion. When vehicle was moving more the 40 MPH and brakes pressed , started to feel that there were no brakes, and vehicle would start to skid. Dealer was charging consumer for repairs since warranty has expired. The speedometer malfunctions.
