THIS VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH SEAT BELTS INCOMPATIBLE WITH THE SEAT HEIGHT. THE LAP BELT PORTION EXITS THE RETRACTOR ASSEMBLY AT AN EXTREME ANGLE THUS CAUSING EXCESS WEAR IN BOTH THE BELT FABRIC AND THE RETRACTOR COVER. THE BELT ALSO BECOMES ENTRAPPED IN THE SLIT CUT IN THE BELT RETRACTOR SO IT WON'T RETRACT AND BECOMES ENTANGLED IN THE DOOR AS IT'S CLOSED. DUE TO THIS DESIGN FLAW ALL THE AVAILABLE REPLACEMENT DRIVERS SIDE PARTS HAVE BEEN CONSUMED AND NO REDESIGNED PARTS HAVE BEEN PRODUCED. EVEN IF THE REPLACEMENT PART WERE AVAILABLE IT TOO WOULD SOON BECOME WORN TO THE POINT OF QUESTIONABLE SERVICEABILITY WITHIN A FAIRLY SHORT TIME. I CONTACTED CHEVROLET AND WAS GIVEN REFERENCE # 71-1330000620. THE REPRESENTATIVE CONTACTED THE LOCAL DEALER WHO CONFIRMED PARTS NO LONGER AVAILABLE. THE REPRESENTATIVE REFUSED TO OPEN AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE MATTER SIMPLY STATING PARTS DON'T LAST FOREVER. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF THESE PICKUPS STILL ON THE ROAD AND ANY OF THEM DRIVEN BY TALL DRIVERS WITH THE SEAT FULLY BACK WILL HAVE THE SAME WEAR PATTERN. I TRIED GETTING THE PART FROM SALVAGE SOURCES AND FOUND ALL COMPATIBLE PARTS WERE EITHER SOLD OR IN THE SAME CONDITION AS MY WORN PART. I DID MAKE A MODIFICATION TO THE SEAT BELT RETRACTOR HOUSING WITH SOME DIAGONAL CUTTERS TO ALLEVIATE THE BELT BECOMING ENTRAPPED IN THE SLIT BUT THE BELT IS WORN BEYOND SAFE LIMITS AND SINCE THE EXIT ANGLE IS STILL INCORRECT THE WEAR WILL CONTINUE DESPITE THE COVER MODIFICATION. I AGREE PARTS DON'T LAST FOREVE

WHEN DRIVING THE WIPERS WILL QUIT WORKING. THE CAUSE OF FAILURE IS THE WIPER CONTROL MODULE. THIS HAPPENED TO ME. A MECHANIC TOLD ME THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS COMPONENT, WHEN I CHECKED WITH THE LOCAL DEALER THEY STATED THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. I HAD TO PURCHASE MODULE TO REPAIR MYSELF. DRIVING WAS IMPARED AT FAILURE BECAUSE IT WAS RAINING AND IT WAS POSSIBLE TO RESTART WIPERS BY GETTING OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND MOVING THE WIPERS. BUT THE NEXT FAILURE OF WIPERS MIGHT HAPPEN ONLY A COUPLE OF MILES DOWN THE ROAD.
