SPEEDOMETER SIGNAL IS INTERRUPTED SPORATICALLY WHEN LEFT TURN SIGNAL IS USED. THIS IS A TEMPORARY INTERRUPTION THAT CAUSES THE SPEEDOMETER TO SHOW THE SPEED DROPS OFF IN A FRACTION OF A SECOND BY ABOUT 20 MPH, THEN RESUMES ACTUAL SPEED.

WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAIL RANDOMLY. TAPPING ON THE WIPER MOTOR RESTARTS THEM. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. DEALER SAYS THIS IS NOT COVERED BY RECALL 98V1500001 EVEN THOUGH IT SOUNDS THE SAME. I COUNTED 44 COMPLAINTS FOR THE 1500 SERIES TRUCKS ON THE NHTSA WEB PAGE. I PERSONALLY KNOW TWO OTHER OWNERS OF THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL TRUCK WHO HAVE THE PROBLEM. A SAFETY RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED.

WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE WORKING INTERMITTENTLY. SOMETIMES WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD COME ON, AND SOMETIMES THEY WOULD NOT. IF SWITCH WAS LIFTED ON FOR A FEW DAYS WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD COME ON. PROBLEM HAS BEEN CORRECTED AT OWNER'S EXPENSE. WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR CIRCUIT BROAD AND COVER WAS REPLACED, WHICH WAS THE SAME CORRECT ACTION AS IN RECALL CAMPAIGN 98V150001. TRUCK NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL.*AK
