VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER:MOTOR
WHILE DRIVING IN RAINY CONDITIONS AND WITHOUT WARNING THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL JUST QUIT. CONSUMER FEELS THAT THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE WHEN THIS HAPPENS DRIVER CAN'T SEE WHERE HE IS GOING. TO GET THEM GOING AGAIN DRIVER HAS LIFT THE HOOD, JIGGLE ON THE MOTOR WIRES TO THE WIPERS, AND THEN THEY WILL GO AGAIN. DEALER SAID THEY KNEW ABOUT THE PROBLEM, BUT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THE CONSUMERS VEHICLE. *AK

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK
I HAVE HAD THIS TRUCK AT GLOCKNER CHEVROLET IN PORTSMOUTH, OHIO 45662 FOR REPAIR ABOUT 10 TO TWELVE TIMES NOW. THIS PROBLEM IS NOT BEING SOLVED. I HAVE CONTACTED GM SEVERAL TIMES (OVER 30) TO GET THIS TRUCK FIXED. I ASKED FOR A AREA VEHICLE MANAGER TO COME DOWN AND LOOK AT THIS TRUCK AND I HAVE HAD NO SUCCESS IN EVEN GETTING A RETURN PHONE CALL. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH SEVERAL GM REPS. ABOUT THIS PROBLEM THAT IS PUTTING ME AT RISK OF HAVING AN ACCIDENT BUT THIS DOESN'T SEEM TO BE ANY CONCERN OF THEIRS. I FINALLY GOT 1 PERSON TO GIVE ME THEIR DIRECT LINE TO HELP ME WITH THIS PROBLEM. THE PERSON IS JOE PACHECO AT 1-800-43-FLEET. I AM STILL HAVING NO SATISFACTION IN GETTING THIS PROBLEM RESOLVED. TODAY MY TRUCK IS BACK IN THE SHOP. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME IN THE PAST TWO WEEKS. I WOULD APPRECIATE IN INSIGHT YOU CAN GIVE ME ON THIS SITUATION. MY NEXT STEP WAS GOING TO SEE AN ATTORNEY, BUT I AM HOPING THAT IT DOESN'T HAVE TO COME TO THAT. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR 16 MONTHS NOW. THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

SUSPENSION
VEHICLE HAS HAD A DRIVELINE VIBRATION SINCE PURCHASED NEW . DEALER REPLACED THE TIRES 3 TIMES AND THEN DECIDED IT WAS NOT THE TIRES . AFTER FAILING TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM , DEALER STATES THAT GM SAYS THERE IS NOT A PROBLEM AND THAT THE VIBRATION IS NORMAL AND WITHIN SPECS. I KNOW THIS VIBRATION SHOULD NOT BE THERE AND I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON TO COMPLAIN TO GM . THEY ( GM ) HAVE TAKEN BACK EITHER BY BUYING BACK OR " TRADE ASSIST " MANY OF THESE VEHICLES , WHICH , BY THE WAY , ARE WITHIN SPEC. . THERE IS ALSO NO KNOW BUILD DATE FOR MORE OF THESE VEHICLES . I HAVE BEEN OFFERED THE "TRADE ASSIST" FOR MY VEHICLE WHICH WOULD BE ACCEPTABLE WERE IT NOT FOR THE $0.20 A MILE THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME FOR MILAGE ALREADY ON THE VEHICLE , BUT ALSO FOR ALL THE MILES WHILE WAITING FOR THEM TO PROVIDE ME WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE . I MAY BE IN THE WRONG PLACE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS BUT I DON'T HAVE ANY GUIDENCE IN PERSUING A RESOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM . H E L P !!

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:MASTER CYLINDER
THE PLASTIC BRAKE-FLUID RESERVOIR IS VERY SLOPPILY (AND LOOSELY) ATTACHED TO THE MASTER CYCLINDER VIA TWO PINS THRU OVERSIZED HOLES IN THE RESERVOIR ASSEMBLY. THE HOLES ARE MUCH LARGER THAN THE RESTRAINING PINS RESULTING IN CONSIDERABLE SLOP. THE RESERVOIR ASSEMBLY IS NOT RIGIDLY ATTACHED TO THE MASTER CYLINDER AND IS FREE TO VIBRATE. THE RANGE OF MOTION ALLOWED BY THE SLOP IS CONSIDERABLE. I FEAR THAT SYMPATHETIC ENGINE OR ROAD VIBRATIONS MAY DAMAGE THE MASTER-CYLINDER/RESERVOIR INTERFACE. I CHECKED OUT A NEW SILVERADO IN THE DEALER'S SHOW ROOM AND ITS BRAKE-FLUID RESERVOIR ALSO APPEARED TO BE INADEQUATELY FASTENED TO THE MASTER-CYLINDER ASSEMBLY.
