1998 Chevrolet S10 complaints

PROBLEM STARTED IN 1999 WITH ERRATIC OPERATION OF THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND CONTINUED UNTIL FAILURE. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN EXTENSION OF NHTSA #03V159000 CAMPAIGN. THE PART REPLACED WAS MANUFACTURED BY ITT AUTOMOTIVE PART #PCB 24006727 REV. C DEALER FP-NUMBER 12463090 DESCRIPTION MODULE 16.O67. *NM

IN THE LAST 2 MONTHS, MY VEHICLES WINDSHIELD WIPERS HAVE STOPPED WORKING WHILE IN OPERATION OR THEY SIMPLY WILL NOT START AT ALL. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WITH THE LOSE OF VISIBILITY. I TOOK THE VEHICLE(1998 S10 BLAZER) TO THE DEALER AND HE REPLACED A BAD CIRCUIT BOARD MODULE TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND HAVE PAID THE DEALER FOR THE FIX. I HAVE FOUND THAT GM ALREADY HAS A RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE FOR THE 1997 MODEL BUT MY YEARS MODEL IS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL. THE NHTSA ID # IS 03V159000. GM SHOULD COVER THIS VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM ON THE 1998 MODEL AS IT VERY OBVIOUS THAT THIS MODEL HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE 1997'S. *NM

LEFT TOP BALL JOINT BROKE WITHOUT WARNING AT HIGHWAY SPEED. *JB

1998 CHEVY BLAZER, BRAKES ARE SLIPPING WHEN COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, OR MOVING UNDER 10 MPH. I UNDERSTAND THERE IS A RECALL FOR GM SUV'S ( NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 05V379000) AND BELIEVE BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE THE CHEVY BLAZER SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. *NM

THE STEEL CABLE THAT SUPPORTED MY SPARE TIRE UNDER MY TRUCK'S BODY BROKE (IT WAS RUSTED OUT) WHILE DRIVING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY. I WAS ABLE TO RETRIEVE ALL PARTS (TIRE, CABLE TOGGLE AND TIRE RETAINER), AND NO OTHER CARS WERE DAMAGED SINCE THEY SWERVED TO AVOID THE DEBRIS. THE RUSTED TOGGLE SHOWS THAT ONLY THREE STRANDS OF CABLE WERE UNRUSTED WHEN IT BROKE, WITH MORE THAN 90% OF THE REMAINING CABLE RUSTED AWAY. IF SOMEONE WANTS TO LOOK AT THE TOGGLE I WILL MAIL IT, LET ME KNOW. IN MY OPINION, STAINLESS STEEL SHOULD HAVE BEEN USED, SINCE THIS CABLE IS EXPOSED TO ALL ROADWAY SPASHING. *NM

WARNING SYSTEMS ON VEHICLE ARE INOPERATIVE RESULTING IN ENGINE DAMAGE.***NO ANSWER REQUIRED*** *MR *SC

DT: THE CALLER RECEIVED A RECALL CONCERNING CATALYTIC CONVERTER. THE DEALER WILL NOT FIX IT BECAUSE HE DROVE MORE THAN 12,0000 MILES. DEALER WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE OF THE MILEAGE. MANUFACTURER WAS CALLED THREE TIMES AND THEY ALSO SAID VEHICLE HAD TOO MANY MILES. VEHICLE BROKE DOWN AND HAD TO BE TOWED. *AK

DT: 1998 CHEVROLET S10. THE CONSUMER STATES THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS DO NOT WORK. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN LOOKED AT. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM ON PREVIOUS YEARS. THIS STARTED ABOUT A YEAR AGO, THEY WOULD WORK WHEN THEY WANTED TO, NOW THEY DO NOT WORK. *AK

WIPERS STOPPED DURING THUNDERSTORM ON INTERSTATE! THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES! THEY WORK INTERMITTENTLY. BUT YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN. MECHANIC SAYS THIS IS COMMON IN THIS TRUCK. PARTS AND LABOR AROUND 200.00 . I SEE A POTENTIALLY FATAL SITUATION THAT WILL HAPPEN OR PERHAPS ALREADY HAS. WHY IS CHEVROLET IGNORING THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT COULD RESULT IN DEATH? *NM

WINDSHIELD WIPERS QUIT WORKING WHILE RAINING. HAS DONE THIS FOR THE LAST 2 1/2 YEARS. THANKFULLY I HAVE NOT WRECKED. EVERYONE I HAVE TALKED TO HAS SAID THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR 1996 AND 1997 MODELS BUT NOT FOR 1998'S. WELL THERE NEEDS TO BE. NOTHING HAS BEEN TO CORRECT THE FAILURE BE CAUSE CHEVEROLET SAYS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG BECAUSE THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS YEAR MODEL. I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO REPLACE EVERY PART AND SEE BY TRIAL AND ERROR. I'VE READ THAT IT MIGHT BE A CIRCUIT BOARD. I GUESS ITS GOING TO TAKE SOMEONE GETTING KILLED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. *JB

WINDSHIELD WIPER FAILURE, WIPERS HAVE FAILED MANY TIMES OVER THE 3 YEARS THAT WE HAVE OWNED THIS TRUCK. WE HAVE WENT TO SEVERAL MECHANICS FOR HELP AND NO SOLUTIONS HAVE WORKED. AN AUTO TECH. INSTRUCTOR TOLD MY SON THAT THE S10 HAS A WEAK SYSTEM AND THAT NEW ENDS COULD NOT BE ORDERED FOR CONNECTIONS. SEVERAL PEOPLE WHO HAVE S10'S HAVE TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS MY TEENAGE SONS TRUCK AND I FILL THAT CHEVORLET SHOULD RECALL AND FIX THE PROBLEM. *NM

I OWN AN 1998 CHEVY S10 PICK-UP TRUCK. SOME TIME LAST YEAR I STARTED TO GET A P1870 TROUBLE CODE. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER I WAS TOLD THAT MY TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT THE COST OF $2,300. AT THE TIME THE TRANSMISSION ONLY HAD 61,000 MILES ON IT. I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM WITH THESE TRANSMISSIONS. I BELIEVE THAT GM SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS FAULTY TRANSMISSION. *JB

THE EXTENDED CUB 3RD DOOR HANDLES CONTINUES TO BREAK EVERY 6 MONTHS. IT IS MADE OF PLASTIC. I PURCHASED THE 1998 S10 IN MARCH, 04, IN JULY THE HANDLE BROKE. THIS SAME NEW HANDLE BROKE WAS REPLACED IN DECEMBER, 04. FINALLY, THE 2 NEW HANDLE BROKE IN AUGUST, 05. THE BREAK IS ALWAYS IN THE SAME AREA. THE DEALER HAS COMMENTED THAT HE HAS NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS TO HIM FOR THIS PART, BUT TO CHEV HAS MADE NO EFFORT TO RECALL OR ASSIST IN ANY WAY. CAN I HAVE YOUR REVIEW AND ASSISTANCE? *NM

DT: CONSUMER STATED THAT THE TAILGATE CABLE SNAPPED WITH VERY LIGHT WEIGHT ON IT. AT THE TIME THE CABLE SNAPPED THERE WAS A CHILD ON THE TAILGATE. THIS WAS ON THE RIGHT SIDE, BUT THE LEFT SIDE CARRIED THE WEIGHT. THE OWNER WAS CONCERNED THAT HE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO TRUST THE TAILGATE AT THIS POINT. THE OWNER WAS GOING TO REPLACE THE TAILGATE CABLES AND MAYBE THE WHOLE TAILGATE ITSELF. THE CABLES WERE FINE. THERE WERE NOT ANY WEAR AND TEAR ON THE CABLES. THE OWNER CALLED THE DEALER, AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE. THE OWNER ALSO CALLED GM, AND THEY CONTACTED THE MANAGER, WHO RELAYED ANY ASSISTANCE IN THIS MATTER. THEY WERE NO INJURIES.*AK

1998 CHEVROLET S10 PICKUP CATALYTIC CONVERTER FAILED.*MR THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER BECAME SO HOT THAT IT MELTED A HOLE IN THE BEDLINER OF THE TRUCK. AFTER THAT INCIDENT THE CONSUMER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE. THE MANUFACTURER REFUSED TO HONOR THE RECALL. *NM CONSUMER WOULD LIKE A FOLLOW UP REGARDING FAILURE. *TT

WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAIL INTERMITTENTLY. FAILURE IS UNPREDICTIABLE. LAST FAILURE OCCURED WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE 495 DURING A HEAVY RAINSTORM

I SAT ON THE OPEN TAILGATE AND BOTH TAILGATE SUPPORT STRAPS BROKE. THEY WERE BOTH VERY CORRODED ABOUT 10 INCHES FROM THE END CONNECTED TO THE BED. THE STRAPS APPEAR TO BE VERY CORRODED AT THE POINT OF BREAKAGE.

DT: CONSUMER SAYS WHILE DRIVING VE IN THE RAIN WINDSHIELD WIPERS PERIODICALLY MALFUNCTIONED. SOMETIMES STOPPED COMPLETEL, SLOWED DOWN OR TURNED OFF. THIS HAPPENED SINCE PURCHASING VEHICLE. CONSUMER RECEIVED NO HELP FROM DEALER OR MANUFACTURER. *AK

LAST YEAR THE WIPERS STARTED TO NOT WORK PROPERLY, IT WOULD SPEED UP, SLOW DOWN, NOT WORK, NOT SHUT OFF, NOW IT IS WORSE. QUITE HAZARDOUS DURING RAIN, NOT REPAIRED YET, CALLED LOCAL DEALER ADVISED NO RECALL FOR THAT YEAR. THERE IS A RECALL FOR 1997 MODEL YEAR WITH SAME PROBLEM

2 COMPLAINTS ON THIS VECHILE 1> NEEDS WIPER MODULE RECALLED, LIKE PREVIOUS MODEL YEARS (HAD TO PAY FOR THIS SERVICE) 2> BOTH OF MY TAILGATE STRAPS ARE BROKEN..HAVE SEEN SEVERAL OF THESE VECHILES WITH SAME PROBLEMS. HAD TO REPLACE WIPER MODULE AND TAILGATE STRAPS

I RECENTLY PURCHASED AN 1998 CHEVY S-10 PICKUP IN WHICH HAD HIGHWAY MILES OF @176000 MILES. THESE TRIPS WERE MADE FROM THE TEXARKANA TO DALLAS AREA ON I-30. AFTER MY PURCHASE OF SAID VEHICHLE BEING THE SECOND OWNER I HAD BEEN SMELLING GASOLINE AND SEARCHED HIGH AND LOW FOR ITS SOURCE OF ORIGIN FOR APPROXIMATELY 2 WEEKS AND ON MY WAY HOME FROM SHEVEPORT LA., THE SMELL WAS OVERWHELMING AND WAS VERY LUCKY MY TRUCK DID NOT EXPLODE INTO FLAMES THAT NIGHT, I CHECKED AGAIN UNDER THE HOOD AND EVENTUALLY UNDERNEATH THE CARRIGE AND FOUND NO LEAKS FROM THE TANK ETC. I STARTED THE ENGINE AND LOOKED AGAIN AND NOTICED SMOKE FROM THE UNDERNEATH EXHAUST, UPON FURTHER INSPECTION THE MAIN GAS LINE WHICH ROUTES OVER THE TRANSMISSION THROUGH A METAL STRAP WHICH HOLDS IT INPLACE HAD RUBBED AN AREA IN WHICH CREATED THIS AND WHAT IS A VERY DANGEROUS INCIDENT AND NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO, HAD THE EXHAST IGNITED, GAS WAS ALL OVER THE TOP OF THE TRANSMISSION AS WELL ALL THE WAY DOWN THE DRIVE SHAFT. I REPLACED WITH REGUALAR FLEX GAS LINE FROM AN AUTOMOTIVE STORE. I STILL HAVE THE OLD LINE FOR FUTHER INSPECTION IF NEEDED, BUT OTHERS MAY NOT BE AS FORTUNATE AS I AND WOULD ONLY THINK THE SMELL IS COMING FROM THE CARBURATOR AREA AND WOULD END UP THE VEHICHLE CATCHING FIRE OR BLOWING UP. TAKE THIS VERY SERIOUS AND CORRECT THE DEFECTIVE AREA BY INSTALLING A RUBBER SPACED METAL STRAP WHICH WILL SEPERATE THE THREE LINES AS WELL EXPOSURE OF BEING RUBBED BY THE STRAP IN WHICH HOLDS THEM. MY LEAK WAS SPRAYING UP

THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE CABLE THAT SUPPORTS THE SPARE TIRE FROM THE BASE OF THE VEHICLE. WITHOUT WARNING THIS CABLE SNAPPED, CAUSING THE SPARE TIRE TO FALL FROM UNDER THE BASE OF THE VEHICLE. *AK *SB *NM

WIPER MOTOR

DT: THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM IS ACTIVATING PREMATURELY WITH SPEEDS UNDER 15MPH. THE BRAKES ARE MAKING A HUMMING NOISE, AND DOESN'T STOP AT ALL. THIS PROBLEM HAS GONE ON FOR 5 MONTHS. THE CONSUMER HAD THE ABS SENSOR REPLACED ON THE FRONT AT A PRIVATE MECHANIC SHOP, TWO YEARS AGO. THE VEHICLE IS A FOUR DRIVE . *TT

I OWN TWO 1998 CHEVROLET TRUCKS; ONE IS AN S-10 PICK-UP, THE OTHER A BLAZER. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAIL ON BOTH OF THEM, USUALLY IN THE MIDDLE OF A DOWNPOUR.

MY GAS PEDEL STUCK AND THE CABLE FRAYED CAUSING THE ENGINE TO RACE WHILE IN GEAR,LUCKY I WAS ON A BACK ROAD AND NOT IN TRAFFIE,ON A 98 S10 PICKUP,I SAY THAT CHEVY SHOULD FIX ALL ,PUBLIC HAS NO SAY ON HOW THEY MAKE THEIR CARS, GAS PEDELS SHOULD ALWAYS WORK,

CONSUMER STATED THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL JUST QUIT. THE DEALER REPLACED THE CIRCUIT BOARD. *JB

1998 CHEVROLET S10 PICKUP ENGINE FAN EXPLODED THROUGH THE HOOD OF THE TRUCK.*MR THE INCIDENT HAPPENED WITH SUCH FORCE THAT IT TORE A HOLE IN THE HOOD 11" LONG AND 1 1/2" WIDE. THE METAL ON THE HOOD WAS PEELED BACK FROM THE FORCE. THERE WAS ALSO SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE UNDER THE HOOD. *BF

1998 CHEVY S-10 PICKUP TRUCK. BOTH TAILGATE CABLES BROKE WHILE STANDING ON TAILGATE RESULTING IN A FALL TO THE GROUND. BOTH CABLES ARE CORRODED AT THE MID POINT WHERE THEY FOLD WHEN CLOSING THE TAILGATE.

MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS HAVE A WIRING PROBLEM. WHEN THE SWITCH IS TURNED, THEY WORK SOMETIMES AND SOMETIMES THEY DO NOT. THEY OFTEN DO NOT WORK IN THE RAIN BUT ON DRY DAYS THEY WILL COME ON. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT WATER IS GETTING IN THE WIRING HARNESS, AND THE DEVICE HAD TO BE SHAKEN IN ORDER FOR THE WIPERS TO COME BACK ON. WINDSHIELD WIPERS THAT WILL NOT WORK IN THE RAIN SEEMS PRETTY RIDICULOUS TO ME. THERE WAS A RECALL ON EARLIER YEAR MODELS THAT HAVE ALMOST IDENTICAL WIRING. THE WIPERS NOT WORKING HAS PUT ME IN SEVERAL SERIOUS SITUATIONS. *AK

1998, S10 PICKUP TAILGATE STRAPS RUSTED IN 2 PIECES. THESE WERE RECALLED ON MY 2002 1500 FULL SIZE. WHY NOT THE S10 ? *AK

EA 05 008/TAILGATE SUPPORT CABLES BREAK: WHILE STANDING ON THE TAILGATE AND LOADING A SINK ONTO THE REAR BED THE LEFT SIDE SUPPORT CABLE HAS BROKEN. NO INJURY TO REPORT. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED. *NM

WHEN YOU TURN THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON, THEY WILL WORK AND THEN STOP WORKING WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, IF YOU GO TO TURN THEM FOR MIST, THEY WILL GO BACK AND FORTH LIKE THEY WERE ON AND NOT STOP, IF YOU PUT THEM ON INTERMENT, THEY WILL WORK SOMETIMES BUT THEY USUALLY STAY ON UNTIL YOU PULL OVER AND TURN THE TRUCK OFF AND BACK ON.*AK

WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR QUITS INTERMITTANTLY , NEEDING TO GO OUTSIDE AND WIGGLE WIPER ARM TO GET GOING. VERY MUCH A HAZARD DURING HEAVY RAINS. SHOULD BE RECALLED. *AK

SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE ATTEMPTING SLOW ACCELERATION ON AN INTERSTATE INCLINE. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE NOV 2001, SERVICE CENTER UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE AFTER ONE DAY DEPITE BEING TOLD ABOUT PREVIOUS SYMPTOMS AND REPAIRS. ON TWO PREVIOUS OCCASIONS DEALERSHIP WHERE PURCHASED DIAGNOSED AS FAILED FUEL INJECTOR AND LEAKING "SPIDER VALVE". UNFORTUNATELY ON THE 2ND TIME THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE BEFORE BOTH CATALYTIC CONVERTERS WERE BURNED OUT BY RAW FUEL BEING DUMPED INTO THE EXHAUST,RESULTING IN A VERY LARGE REPAIR BILL. ONLY ABLE TO IDENTIFY AFTER I HAD POINTED THEM TO THE REPAIR RECORDS OF 18 MONTHS EARLIER. DON'T FEEL THAT IT SHOULD BE NECESSARY TO REPLACE FUEL INJECTION COMPONENTS AT 18 MONTH INTERVALS ON A VEHICLE THAT IS NOT ABUSED AT ALL AND HAS ALL ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. ALSO DEALING WITH A PROBLEM THAT DUMPS RAW FUEL INTO A HOT EXHAUST SYSTEM WOULD CERTAINLY SEEM TO BE A SAFETY HAZARD.*AK

WHEN OPENING THE THIRD REAR DOOR THE INSIDE DOOR HANDLE BROKE OFF. DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. *AK

THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BECAME STUCK AFTER BEING DEPRESSED. VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE ON ITS ON. CONSUMER WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER, AND TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF. CONSUMER HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALER, AND MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE BUTTER FLY LINKAGE SHEARED OFF WHILE DRIVING. THIS CAUSED THE THROTTLE PEDAL TO REMAIN OPEN. MECHANIC INFORMED THE CONSUMER THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *AK THE THROTTLE BODY BUTTERFLY HAS A METAL ATTACHMENT HELD ON BY TWO RIVETS. OVERTIME THESE RIVETS BECAME LOOSE AND CAUSE METAL FATIGUE TO THE ATTACHED PIECE OF METAL ON THE BUTTERFLY. THE RIVET ON ONE SIDE BROKE THROUGH THE FATIGUE HOLE THAT WAS DRILLED FOR THE RIVET INSERT THEN CAUSING THE ATTACH PIECE TO SHIFT THUS WEDGING THE THROTTLE OPEN. *TC

THE EMERGENCY BRAKE PEDAL ASSEMBLY FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. AS A RESULT THE VEHICLE BEGIN TO ROLL. THE DEALER STATES THE PLASTIC FLANGE ON THE LEFT OF THE RATCHET TENSIONING SPRING SPOOL BROKE, WHICH JAMMED THE BRAKE MECHANISM. *JB WHEN THE CONSUMER APPLIED THE BRAKE WHILE STOPPED, IT WOULD NOT SET AND THE VEHICLE ROLLED BACK. *SC

WHILE DRIVING MY WINDSHEILD WIPERS WORK AT ANY SPEED THEY WANTED EVEN AFTER TURNING THEM OFF, CAUSING MY WIPERS TO WEAR OUT FASTER, THEN THEY QUIT WORKING.*AK

I OWN A 1998 CHEVROLET S-10 SLR PICKUP TRUCK AND THE SEATS DO NOT ALWAYS CATCH. I WENT TO A GM DEALER AND PAID $300.00 TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM FIXED BUT SOME TIMES THE SEATS DO NOT CATCH AFTER YOU PULL THEM FORWARD TO GET INTO THE AREA BEHIND THE SEATS, EITHER PASSANGER OR DRIVER. THIS IS A SPERATIC ERROR BUT WHEN THE SEATS DO NOT CATCH MY PASSENGER IS SLIDE FORWARD OR AT TIMES I THE DRIVER WILL FIND MYSELF GOING FORWARD BECAUSE THE SEAT TRACK DID NOT LOCK.*AK

SOMETIMES WINDSHIELD WIPER DOES NOT WIPE AT ALL. OMETIMES IT WON'T STOP WIPING. OMETIMES WHEN SET TO INTERRUPTED WIPING, IT WIPES CONTINUOUSLY. AS HAPPENED FREQUENTLY, ALMOST EVERY TIME IT HAS RAINED AND I HAVE HAD TO USE THE WIPERS SINCE IT STARTED IN SEPT. 2004. *AK

TAILGATE STRAPS BROKE, CAUSED BY NOT BEING GALVINIZED.*AK

WHILE OPENING THE TAILGATE THE CABLE BROKE ON BOTH SIDE BECAUSE THEY HAD RUSTED. *AK......*AK

(1) LOADING SMALL RIDING LAWNMOWER INTO BED OF MY S-10 PICKUP (2) BOTH TAILGATE CABLES BROKE WITH NO PRIOR SIGN OF WEAR (3) AWAITING REPLACEMENT CABLES AT EXPENSE OF CHEVROLET, BECAUSE THEY KNOW THE PROBLEM EXISTS ON CURRENT MODELS AND HAVE RECALLED THEM, BUT NOT MINE!. *AK

WHEN THE TAILGATE WAS IN USE BOTH OF THE TAILGATE SUPPORT STRAPS SNAPPED. THIS CAUSED THE TAILGATE TO FALL. DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEMS. *AK

TAILGATE SUPPORT CABLE FAILURE. *AK

WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED INTERMITTENTLY. DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. *AK

ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS, THE CONSUMER HAD TO REPLACE THE TAILGATE SUPPORT CABLES DUE TO CORROSION/RUST. *JB *TC

WHEN DRIVING, THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPERS WORKED INTERMITTENTLY. *JB WIPERS WORKED ON HIGH SPEED BUT IF PUT IN LOW SOMETIMES THEY WORK AND SOMETIMES THEY DO NOT. THE CONSUMER STATED THAT IF HE TOUCHES THE CIRCUIT BOARD WIPERS COME ON. *TC

WHILE DRIVING, THE CONSUMER SMELLED A FUEL ODOR. THE CONSUMER ALSO NOTICED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED OIL WAS A LEAKING FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER DETAILS. *JB
