VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER
K2500 WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAIL TO COME ON WHEN SWITCH IS TURNED ON. SOMETIMES THEY STOP IN MID-CYCLE. I HAVE TO TURN THEM ON AND GET OUT AND PULL ON THE WIPER ARM TO GET TO INITIATE MOVEMENT. I GOT CAUGHT IN A THUNDER SHOWER AND HAD NO WIPERS AND HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND GET OUT TO PULL ON THE WIPER ARM. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AND THE DEALERSHIP AND THE GM SERVICE LINE BOTH SAY THAT MY TRUCK IS NOT COVERED UNDER ANY RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM, ALTHOUGHT THERE EXISTS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM.

SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:RECLINER
ABOUT A WEEK AFTER WE PURCHASED THE TRUCK, WE NOTICED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT WOULD ONLY LOCK IN FULL FORWARD POSITION ARE IN FULL REARWARD POSITION. NO IN BETWEEN. AS WE WERE ON A TRIP AND NOT USING THE SEAT ADJUSTMENT WE FORGOT ABOUT IT. THE TRUCK WAS RECALLED FOR THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BACK RECLINER BOLTS, GOT IT REPAIRED, NOW SOME TIME THE PASSENGER SEAT SLIDES FORWARD BY ITS SELF, NOW THATS DANGEROUS. I TOOK THE TRUCK IN TODAY 6/24/99 FOR THE SECOND RECALL 98065 BRAKE SWITCH. TOLD THE SERVICE MAN THE PROBLEM WITH THE SEAT, THEY CHECKED BOTH SIDES DRIVERS AND PASSENGER. DRIVERS IS POWER BUT IS LOOSE. HE INFORMEN ME THAT BOTH SEAT RISERS WERE WORN OUT AND THAT IS WHY THE SEATS ARE LOOSE. KNEW OF NO WARRENTY ON THEM, HE SAID THAT THE YEARS 94 TO 96 WERE ALL BAD, THEY HAVE THIS TROUBLE ALL THE TIME. THE TRUCK IS CHERRY, WHY DO THEY WARE OUT SO SOON? THE SEAT ADJUSTMENTS ARE HARDLY EVER MADE. I TOLD HIM THAT I WAS GOING TO CONTACT NITSA. HE SAID TO CALL THE ZONE REP AND MABY THEY WOULD -MABY PAY HALF. IF THIS IS TRUE WHAT HE TOLD ME ABOUT ALL THE 94 TO 96 TRUCKS HAVEING BAD SEAT RISERS, THEN THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL I BELEVE. HE SAID THAT THE 97 UP HAVE A NEW DESIGN ON THE SEAT RISERS. THE DRIVERS SIDE AFTER THEY DID THE RECALL ON THE SEAT RECLINER ALWAYS SEEMED LOOSE TO ME. NOW I KNOW WHY FOR THE PARTS ARE WORN OUT, THIS I DO NOT UNDERSTAND. I HAVE NEVER HAD THAT HAPPEN IN ANY OF THE VECHILES I HAVE EVER OWNED. NOW THE TRUCK WAS JUST TWO YEARS OLD AND HAD ONLY 28,00 MILES ON THE SPEED-O WHEN I PURCHASED IT. AND THE SEAT RISERS WERE WORN OUT THEN. DOES GENERAL MOTORS EXPECT NO MORE THAN TWO YEARS OR LESS FOR THE SEAT RISERS TO FAIL? IF WE HAD A HEAD ON ACCIDENT AND THE SEAT WILL SLIDE FORWARD, THEN IT COULD RESULT IN A FATALITY. THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR THIS SHODDY PARTS. THE ONLY REASON THE DRIVERS SEAT DOESNT SLIDE FORWARD IS BECAUSE IT IS ELECTRICALLY POWERED. I BELEVE THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION, FAULTY PARTS, BAD DESIGN. HOW COMES THEY CHANGED THE SEA
