IT STARTED WITIN 1-2 MONTHS OF PURCHASE, I STARTED HAVING BRAKE PROBLEMS, SINCE THAT TIME I HAVE HAD MY TRUCK TO THE CAR DEALER FOR REPAIRS OR ALL 4 BRAKES AND OTHER PARTS 100% REPLACED, ON THE LAST VISIT THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY 1/2 OF THE $600. BILL AND THE NEXT TIME THEY WOULD PAY NOTHING. I JUST HAD MY TIRES REPLACE FOR THE FIRST TIME ON 2/14/00 AND LES SCHWAB TOLD ME MY BRAKES WERE TO A 10-15% BALANCE LEFT. WITH THIS INF. IT WILL MAKE IT 5 TIMES MY BRAKES WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED AND THE DEALER WILL DO NOTHING. WHILE SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT AND THEN TRY TO GO SOMETIMES THE BRAKES ARE LOCKED UP AND IT WON'T MOVE, AND OTHER TIMES WHEN I NEED TO STOP EVEN ON DRY PAVEMENT THE ANTI LOCK WILL KICK IN AND START JERKING THE TRUCK AROUND. I WAS TOLD BY THE PEOPLE AT THE ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE I SHOULD CONTACT YOU ABOUT THIS MATTER. I HAVE SENT AN EM TO THE CHEV DEALER AND DIRECTLY TO CHEV BUT HAVE BEEN IGNORED. I'M GETTING WORRIED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY AND MYSELF WHILE BEING IN THIS TRUCK. PLEASE HELP ME WHERE YOU CAN WITH THIS MATTER. THANK YOU DALE HARDER. *AK

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER:MOTOR
WINDSHIELD WIPERS WORK INTERMITTENTLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT A DOZEN TIMES. MOST RECENTLY WITH MY MOTHER IN65 MPH IN RAIN WHEN THE WIPERS STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD. TALKING TO OTHER G.M. ONWERS, INCLUDING MY SON, HIS '96 TRUCK DOES THE SAMETHING. AT PLACE OF EMPLOYEMENT FRIENDS WITH A '94 & 96 MODELS HAVE HAD THE SAME EXPIRENCE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT CHEVROLET HAS ACKNOWLEDGED BUT NOT MY VIN NUMBER. WHERE DO THEY DRAW THE LINE? I'M NOT A HAPPY CUSTOMER AND I FEEL CHEVROLET SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILTY BECAUSE THEY ARE VERY MUCH AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM FOR YEARS! *AK
