What owners report
WHEN EVER IT RAINS OR IF I GO THROUGH THE CARWASH, THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS VERY HARD. FEELS LIKE SOMEONE HIT YOU FROM BEHIND. SEEMS LIKE WHEN THE TRANSMISSION HARNESS GETS WET IS WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURS. *TR
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1996 CHEVROLET C1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR WORKS INTERMITTENTLY. HE HAS HAD TO TAP THE MOTOR IN ORDER FOR IT TO FUNCTION AGAIN. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE RECALL WAS NO LONGER ACTIVE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 104,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 104,500.
CLEAR COAT ON THE PAINT CAME OFF OF THE FINISH SEVERAL YEARS BACK AND I WANTED TO KNOW IF THERE WAS ANY RECALL ON THAT ISSUE. I TAKE SERIOUS PRIDE IN MY VEHICLE AND IF GENERAL MOTORS ASSUMES PRIDE IN THEIR PRODUCT AS THEY ADVERTISE THEM TO BE THEN THEY WON'T MIND AMENDING THE PROBLEM. I HAVE NEVER BEEN MADE AWARE OF ANY RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM SO ANY INFORMATION YOU CAN SUPPLY TO ME WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. *TR
TL-THE ELECTRICAL WIRES THAT GOES INTO THE FUEL TANK THAN MAKES THE GAS TANK AND THE GAS GAUGE WORK SHORTED OUT THE FUEL PUMP SO THAT IT WON'T WORK AND THE GAS GAUGAE ALSO. HE HAD IT REPAIR IN MO AND AFTER DRIVING ABOUT A 100 MILES THE GAS GAUGE WOULD NOT WORK AND HE TOOK TI TO A DEALER TO GET IT SERVICED AND THEY STATED THEY WILL NOT FIX IT. WHAT IS THE RECOURSE IF GETTING A REIMBURSEMENT THIS IS THE THIRD FUEL PUMP HE HAS PUT IN THE VEHICLE
ON 10/03/02 I HAD A CHEVY TRUCK [XXX] REPAIRED FOR LOW SPEED ABS ENGAGEMENT, (UNDER EXT WARR). IN SEPT OF 2005, I AGAIN STARTED EXPERIENCING LOW SPEED ABS ENGAGEMENT. THIS TIME SINCE IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, I HAD IT REPAIRED AT AN INDEPENDENT SHOP. IT OCCURRED FIRST AT 51,409 MI AND THE NEXT TIME AT 70,000 MI. THIS COULD PROVE TO BE A REAL PAIN IF THIS PROBLEM IS GOING TO RESURFACE EVERY 20,000 MILES. *NM UPDATED 07/17/2012 *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
