VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER:MOTOR
WINDSHIELD WIPERS WORK INTERMITTENTLY OR NOT AT ALL. CALLED DEALERSHIP BUT WAS TOLD THAT RECALL HAD EXPIRED. WHY IS THERE AN EXPIRATION DATE ON A PART THAT IS ONLY USED PERIODICALLY (WHEN IT RAINS) AND WHY IS THERE AN EXPIRATION DATE ON A PART THAT DEALS WITH SAFETY? ALSO, ACCORDING TO ODI SITE, THE RECALL WAS ON 94-96 TAHOES. IT SEEMS TO STILL EXIST ON THE 97'S ACCORDING TO ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS.*AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:POWER ASSIST:HYDRAULIC:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS, STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST:HOSE, PIPING, AND CONNECTIONS
LOSS OF MOST STEERING AND SERVICE BRAKES SIMULTANEOUSLY. STEERING FLUID LOSS DUE TO IMPROPERLY INSTALLED STEERING FLUID HOSE CLAMP. AN ASSEMLY CLIP WAS LEFT ON THE HOSE CLAMP AT THE FACTORY WHICH PREVENTED HOSE CLAMP FROM TIGHTENING. THE SIMULTANEOUS LOSS OF MOST STEERING AND BRAKING WOULD HAVE CAUSED SERIOS ACCIDENT IF EVENT HAD OCCURED ON MOUNTAINOUS ROAD OR IF VEHICLE WAS OPERATED BY PERSON WITH LESS STRENGTH. NO WARNING LIGHT OR INDICATION ON DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER APPEARED. SHOULD NOT THESE TWO CRITICAL SYSTEMS FUNCTION INDEPENDANTLY? *AK

SEAT BELTS
THE REAR SEATBELT IN MY 2003 CHEVROLET TAHOE ALLOWS ME TO INSERT THE METAL BUCKLE BETWEEN PARTS OF THE BUCKLE AND THE ACTUAL RECEIVING END WICH IT BELONGS LEADING ME TO BELIEVE MY CHILDREN ARE SAFELY BUCKLED IN. I HAD TO STOP SUDDENLY AND MY FOUR YEAR-OLD CHILD WAS THROWN OUT OF HIS CAR SEAT BECAUSE THE BUCKLE WAS IMPROPERLY FASTENED. BECAUSE MY CHILD IS IN A BOOSTER SEAT IT NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO REACH OVER AND VISIBLY SEE WHIHC "HOLE" THE METAL BUCKLE WAS INSERTED INTO. FORTUNATELY MY SON JUST EXPERIENCED MINOR BRUISING, BUT IT COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE.*AK
