VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER
WINDSHIELD WIPERS WORK ONLY OCCASIONALLY. I'VE HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR OVER A YEAR. WINDSHIELD WIPERS SEEM NOT TO WORK AT THE MOST INOPERTUNE TIME, LIKE WHEN IT RAINS REALLY HARD. I'VE BEEN USING PRODUCTS LIKE RAINEX TO PROTECT MYSELF FROM WINDSHIELD WIPER RELATED ACCIDENTS.*AK

WHEN SLOWING TO A STOP, BRAKE PEDAL STARTS TO PULSE, THEN ,ABS EFFECT KICKS IN AND DRIVERCANNOT STOP VEHICLE. BRAKES HAVE BEEN QUESTIONABLE FROM BEGINNING, HOWEVER WITHIN THE LAST 8 MONTHS HAVE BECOME INCREASINGLY UNSTABLE. DURING PAST MONTH, THERE HAVE BEEN 5 "NEAR MISSES" WITH OTHER CARS, GARAGE DOORS AND STATIONERY OBJECTS WHERE TRUCK HAS FAILED TO STOP.

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER
THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS SOMETIMES DO NOT START WHEN SWITCHED ON. THERE ARE OTHER TIMES I AM DRIVING WITH THE WIPERS ON AND THEY STOP WORKING FOR AWHILE THEN START AND RUN FOR SOME TIME THEN STOP. I HAVE FOUND THAT WHEN THE WIPERS ARE NOT RUNNING AFTER BEING TURNED ON THAT IF I WIGGLE THE CONNECTOR AT THE WIPER MOTOR THEN THEY WILL START WORKING, BUT WHILE DRIVING THEY MAY AGAIN SHUT OFF. I CONTACTED CHEVROLET AND WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED UNDER THE RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. I WOULD LIKE FOR YOU TO INCREASE THE RECALLED VEHICLES WITH THIS PROBLEM. MY TRUCK DID NOT DEVELOPE THIS PROBLEM UNTIL ABOUT 1.5 YRS AGO AND I DIDN'T REALIZE THE SYSTEMIC PROBLEM RELATED TO THE WIPERS AND THOUGHT IT WAS JUST "THIS TRUCK" UNTIL I SAW THE RECALL WITH THIS PROBLEM AND FOUND MINE IS NOT INCLUDED. THANKS, WAYNE. *AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
THE ANTILOCK BRAKE CONTROLLER FAILED. I TALKED TO THE DEALER HERE IN TUPELO, AND HE SAID THAT IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THEY WOULD NOT FIX IT UNLESS I PAID. I CHECKED ON THE COST AND THEY SAID THAT IT WOULD COST AROUND 950.00 BUT WOULD BE ABOUT A MONTH BECAUSE THEY ONLY HAD A COUPLE OF THE UNITS THAT WOULD FIT MY TRUCK AND THEY WERE KEEPING THEM ON HAND FOR WARRANTY CALLS. I ASKED THEM WHY THE LONG DELAY AND THEY SAID THEY WERE GOING OUT QUITE OFTEN. I CALLED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE TO INQUIRE AND WAS TOLD THEY WERE UNAWARE OF ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE ANTILOCK SYSTEMS ON MY YEAR OF TRUCK. THAT DID NOT SEEM TO BE THE SAME INFORMATION I RECEIVED FROM THE DEALER, SO I CALLED 7 MORE DEALERS IN THE SURROUNDING AREA AND TALKED TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENTS. ALL I HAD TO DO WAS SAY THAT I WAS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY ANTILOCK BRAKES AND THEY SAID "OH IS THE PUMP RUNNING ALL THE TIME?" THEY SAID THAT WAS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND THEY HAD TO REPLACE THEM ALL THE TIME. I THEN THOUGHT THAT I WOULD SEE IF I COULD LOCATE A USED ONE IN A SALVAGE YARD AND REPLACE THE CONTROLLER MY SELF... I CALLED NUMEROUS SALVAGE YARDS AND FOUND QUITE A FEW OF 1999 SILVERADO'S BUT ALL OF THEM HAD ALREADY HAD THE CONTROLLER REMOVED. I THEN CALLED GM BACK AND TOLD THEM OF WHAT I HAD FOUND OUT, THEY WERE VERY NICE BUT IN EFFECT TOLD ME "TOUGH" SO I THOUGHT I WOULD WRITE TO YOU AND FILE MY COMPLAINT AND SEE IF YOU HAVE HAD ANY OTHERS.*AK

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
ON 7/9/02 THE TRUCK WOULD NOT START. HAD IT TOWED TO THE SHOP. IT WAS FOUND THAT THE WIRES THAT ATTATCH TO THE FUEL PUMP, WHICH IS INSIDE THE GAS TANK, WERE SHORTED OUT. THERE IS VISIBLE MELTING AND CORRODING OF THE CONNECTORS. CONSIDERING THAT THE WHOLE DEVICE, PLUS THE WIRING IS INSIDE THE FUEL TANK, AND SINCE THERE WAS A SHORT IN THE WIRING, THERE COULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS FIRE OR EXPLOSION. THIS TRUCK WAS A BOMB WAITING TO BLOW UP. UPON SEARCHING THE INTERNET, I HAVE FOUND MANY, MANY COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE GM FUEL PUMPS FAILING AND THE WIRING SHORTING OUT. NO ONE HAS HAD ANY LUCK GETTING GM TO RECALL THE PUMPS, AND SINCE WE JUST SPENT ALMOST $500 FOR THE REPAIR, I THOUGHT I WOULD INFORM YOU OF THIS SERIOUS RISK OF INJURY. GM SHOULD BE CONCERNED WITH THIS FLAW, AND I WAS TOLD THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM.*AK
