What owners reported
Newest filingsI OWN A 1998 CHEVROLET TRUCK THAT HAS THE SAME WINDSHIELD WIPER PROBLEMS AS THE 1994 -1997 CHEVROLET TRUCKS HAD WHERE THEY WILL CHOOSE WHEN THEY WANT TO WORK. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, AND THEY SAID TOO BAD, IT'S GOING TO COST YOU TO FIX. WHY IS THIS NOT COVERED UNDER THE SAME RECALL? *AK

Reading this record
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
