    THE SPEED OF THE TRUCK WILL VARY WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURS. WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES ON DRY PAVEMENT AND GOOD ROAD THE TRUCK WILL JERK HARD TO THE LEFT ,THEN SOMETIMES IT WILL NOT. SOMETIMES THE BRAKE PEDAL WILL FADE CLEAR TO THE FLOOR WHEN I GO TO STOP AT A SLOW SPEED. I HAD A NEW MASTER CYLINDER PUT IN THE TRUCK, BUT IT STILL DID THE SAME THING. SOME TIMES ALSO IT WILL MAKE THE FUNNY RATCHETING NOISE LIKE YOUR ON A DIRT ROAD AND TRYING TO STOP QUICKLY, BUT I WILL BE ON A GOOD DRY ASPHALT ROAD. SOME TIMES I WILL BE AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WILL FADE DOWN TO THE FLOOR. I HAVE HAD MY TRUCK AT A AUTO REPAIR SHOP FOR OVER 6 WEEKS NOW AND HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. IT HAS BEEN EXTREMELY DIFFICULT FOR MY FAMILY TO GET ALONG WITH ONLY THE ONE OTHER VEHICLE THAT WE HAVE.*AK

    THERE IS A RECALL ON THE WIPER MOTOR ELECTRONIC BOARD FOR SOME CHEVROLET WIPER MOTORS. I HAVE CONTACTED SEVERAL DEALERS AND PARTS DISTRIBUTORS TO FIND THAT THE PART NUMBER OF THE RECALL IS THE SAME AS THE NUMBER THAT MY VEHICLE HAS, YET MY VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED. I HAVE FOUND MANY REPORTS FROM OWNERS WITH THE SAME VEHICLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I'M SURE THAT MY INCIDENT WHERE THE WIPERS QUIT IN THE MIDDLE OF A RAIN STORM WHILE TRAVELING 55 MPH WAS JUST AS HAIR-RAISING AS THE REST. YET IT WOULD SEEM THAT NO ONE WOULD TAKE CARE OF THIS ISSUE. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN KNOWN FOR MORE THAT 4 YEARS. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. WITH THE NUMBER OF INCIDENTS REPORTED, THE SAME PART NUMBERS INVOLVED, AND THE SAME INTERMITTENT FAILURE DESCRIPTIONS, I AM TIRED OF HEARING THE SAME ANSWER - "THERE IS NOTHING WE CAN DO".*AK

    WE BOUGHT THIS PICHUP NEW, HAVE HAD IT IN THE SHOP MANY TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. IT STALLS ON US AT ANY TIME,THEY HAVE REPLACED PARTS AND REPLACED PARTS. EACH TIME THEY SAY IT IS EITHER THE FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM OR A OIL LEAK. THEY FIX IT AND AGAIN IT HAPPENS. I HAVE NOTIFIED THE MANUFACTORY, AT ONE TIME THEY EXTENDED THE WARRENTY ANOTHER 1200 MILES, BUT OF COURSE THE WARRANTY RAN OUT BEFORE THE TRUCK BROKE DOWN AGAIN. I ASK THEM TO AT LEAST RECALL THE PARTS THAT KEEP GOING OUT OR FIX THE PROBLEM AND PAY AT LEAST HALF OF REPAIRS ON TRUCK, SINCE IT HAS BEEN DOING THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER SINCE THE DAY WE BOUGHT THE TRUCK. ONCE A SERVICE MANAGER TOLD US THAT GM WAS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM WHEN THEY PUT THE SYSTEM ON THE 1995 TRUCKS, THEY HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE 1994 FUEL SYSTEM ALSO. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN REAR-ENDED MANY TIMES HAVE BEEN IN CONSTRUCTION AREAS ON HIGHWAYS WHERE THERE HAS BEEN NO WHERE TO PULL OFF. I WAS PASSING A CAR ONCE AND IT STALLED ON ME, ALMOST GOT HIT HEAD ON.PLEASE DONT TELL ME TO TRADE IT IN CAUSE I CANT AFFORD TO KNOW. THE MANAFACTER ACTED LIKE I JUST WANTED TO GET MY TRUCK FIXED FREE WHICH IS NOT THE CASE. THEY TOLD ME AT THIS TIME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. ALSO THE DRIVER SEAT BROKE IN THE BRACKETS THAT HOLDS IT TO THE FLOOR. I ASK THEM TO FIX THAT WHEN IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY THEY TOLD ME IT WASNT COVERED. SO MY HUSBAND FIXED IT THE BEST HE COULD. A FEW YEARS AGO A SERVICE REP. FROM THE GM WAS SUPPOSE TO MEET WITH US AT THE DEALERSHIP, THERE WERE ABOUT 4 OR 5 OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAD COMPLAINS ALSO, ANYWAY TO MAKE IT SHORT, THE REP. NEVER SHOWED UP AND ALWAYS PHONED IN WITH AN EXCUSE AND SAID I WILL BE THERE TOMORROW, WE WENT BACK TO THE DEALER FOR 3 DAYS HOPING HE WOULD SHOW UP BUT HE NEVER DID. I JUST SPENT ANOTHER $500.00 ON THE PICKUP GETTING IT FIXED AGAIN. HELP US PLEASE. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO DO THIS FOR 4 YRS NOW. I HAD GOT AHOLD OF YOUR OFFICE SEVERAL YRS AGO BUT DONT REMEMBER DATE OR NUMBER THEY GAVE ME. THANK YOU
