ABOUT A WEEK AFTER WE PURCHASED THE TRUCK, WE NOTICED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT WOULD ONLY LOCK IN FULL FORWARD POSITION ARE IN FULL REARWARD POSITION. NO IN BETWEEN. AS WE WERE ON A TRIP AND NOT USING THE SEAT ADJUSTMENT WE FORGOT ABOUT IT. THE TRUCK WAS RECALLED FOR THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BACK RECLINER BOLTS, GOT IT REPAIRED, NOW SOME TIME THE PASSENGER SEAT SLIDES FORWARD BY ITS SELF, NOW THATS DANGEROUS. I TOOK THE TRUCK IN TODAY 6/24/99 FOR THE SECOND RECALL 98065 BRAKE SWITCH. TOLD THE SERVICE MAN THE PROBLEM WITH THE SEAT, THEY CHECKED BOTH SIDES DRIVERS AND PASSENGER. DRIVERS IS POWER BUT IS LOOSE. HE INFORMEN ME THAT BOTH SEAT RISERS WERE WORN OUT AND THAT IS WHY THE SEATS ARE LOOSE. KNEW OF NO WARRENTY ON THEM, HE SAID THAT THE YEARS 94 TO 96 WERE ALL BAD, THEY HAVE THIS TROUBLE ALL THE TIME. THE TRUCK IS CHERRY, WHY DO THEY WARE OUT SO SOON? THE SEAT ADJUSTMENTS ARE HARDLY EVER MADE. I TOLD HIM THAT I WAS GOING TO CONTACT NITSA. HE SAID TO CALL THE ZONE REP AND MABY THEY WOULD -MABY PAY HALF. IF THIS IS TRUE WHAT HE TOLD ME ABOUT ALL THE 94 TO 96 TRUCKS HAVEING BAD SEAT RISERS, THEN THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL I BELEVE. HE SAID THAT THE 97 UP HAVE A NEW DESIGN ON THE SEAT RISERS. THE DRIVERS SIDE AFTER THEY DID THE RECALL ON THE SEAT RECLINER ALWAYS SEEMED LOOSE TO ME. NOW I KNOW WHY FOR THE PARTS ARE WORN OUT, THIS I DO NOT UNDERSTAND. I HAVE NEVER HAD THAT HAPPEN IN ANY OF THE VECHILES I HAVE EVER OWNED. NOW THE TRUCK WAS JUST TWO YEARS OLD AND HAD ONLY 28,00 MILE

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON MY TRUCK WILL WORK INTERMITTENTLY AND THEN QUIT FUNCTIONIN UNTIL THE TRUCK IS TURNED OFF FOR AWHILE. IT HAS BECOME AN EXTREME HAZARDOUS FOR MY FAMILY AND I TO DRIVE IN THE RAIN. I OWN AND/OR OPERATE TWO ADDITIONAL GM VEHICLE THAT HAD A SAFETY RECALL ON THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR CONTROL BOARD. SINCE I AND MY STEPSON BOUGHT THIS TRUCK USED, I CONTACTED CHEVROLET TO SEE IF A SAFETY RECALL HAD BEEN ISSUED FOR MY 1994 TRUCK. BY THE DESCRIBED MALFUNCTION IN THE RECALL IT SEEMED THAT MY 1994 TRUCK HAD A DEFECTIVE PART. I CALLED CHEVROLET'S 1-800 CONSUMER SATISFACTION NUMBER. BASICALLY, AFTER MANY CALLS AND ARGUMENTS THE WOMEN I SPOKE WITH SAID THAT "THE RECALL DID APPLY TO THE PART IN MY TRUCK, BUT CHEVROLET WOULD NOT PAY FOR THE REPAIRS DUE TO THE AGE AND MILEAGE OF THE TRUCK". HOWEVER, THEY DID SAY THAT "THERE IS AN OPEN CAMPAIGN ON THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH". I ASKED THEM HOW COULD THE AGE AND MILEGE OF THE TRUCK ELIMINATE THE WINDSHIELD WIPER RECALL AND NOT THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH RECALL. THEY COULD NOT ANSWER THIS. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT, THE TWO OTHER VEHICLES THAT OPERATE THAT HAD WIPER RECALLS ARE NOT EXPERIENCING ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE WIPERS AND HAVE BEEN FIXED, THE ONE TRUCK THAT I AM EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THE WIPERS, CHEVY WILL NOT FIX. I HAVE TIRED NUMEROUS TIME TO GET THROUGH ON THE TELEPHONE AND LEFT VOICE MAIL MESSAGES TO RETURN MY CALL AT NHTSA AND HAVE NOT GOTTEN A RESPONSE.
