VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER:MOTOR
I REPLACED WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR AT MY OWN EXPENSE/ CIRCUIT BOARD DID NOT COME WITH NEW MOTOR AND HAD TO BE TRANSFERED FROM OLD UNIT. THIS WAS COVERED UNDER A RECALL NHTSA 98V15001 HOWEVER IT COVERED VEHICLES MFG. UP TO 5/96 MINE WAS MFG 6/96 YET IT HAS THE PROBLEM COVERED IN THE RECALL WHICH IS TO CORRECT AN INTERMITTENT WIPER FAILURE. IT'S A REAL TREET TO BE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AND HAVE YOUR WIPERS QUIT. YOU CAN PULL OVER, OPEN THE HOOD, AND SLAP THE WIPER UNIT AND IT WILL RESUME WORKING FOR A WHILE. .

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP, EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BACK UP LIGHTS
NHTSA CAMPAIGN#95V124000 INDICATED A WIRING DEFECT ON THE HIGH MOUNTED STOP LIGHT FOR 1995 CHECROLET TAHOE. MINE FAILS.I TOOK THE TRUCK TO JERRY HAMM CHEV. IN JACKSONVILLE ON 5/4/00 TO HAVE THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES FIXED FOR THE SECOND TIME,AND ASKED THEM TO ALSO REPAIR THE HIGH-LIGHT. THEY REFUSED,STATED THE RECALL WAS NOT IN THEIR DATABASE. I PROVIDED THEM WITH A PRINTED COPY OF YOUR CAMPAIGN,AND THEY STILL REFUSED. THEY ALSO MADE ME PAY FOR THE ABS MODULATOR REPAIR ON 02/22/99 EVEN THOUGH IT WAS COMMON KNOWLEDGE THAT TAHOES WERE HAVING ANTI-LOCK BRAKE FAILURES. I DON'T THINK THE ABS MODULATOR (HEART OF THE ABS) SYSTEM SHOULD HAVE FAILED AT 47,000 MILES. THE ONLY THING THEY DID WAS SPLIT THE COST OF THE PART AFTER I COMPLAINED AND INDICATED I WAS CALLING CHEVROLET

SEATS
I ENTERED MY VEHICLE AND WHEN I SAT IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT THE FRONT LEFT FRAME BRACKET ON THE SEAT SNAPPED. THE WELDING APPARENTLY BROKE. THIS VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN OFF-ROAD AND I AM NOT OBESE. NOW, WHEN I SIT IN THE SEAT, IT LEANS BACK IN AN UNCOMFORTABLE AND, MOST IMPORTANTLY, DANGEROUS POSITION. THE SEAT MOVES BACK AND FORTH EVERYTIME THE ACCELERATOR AND/OR BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED. I TRIED TO HAVE GM FIX THIS, BECAUSE IT IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT, AS WELDING SHOULD NOT COME UNDONE UNDER NORMAL OPERATING CONDITIONS. GM WOULD NOT ACCEPT THE RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX THIS DEFECT. *AK
