1995 Chevrolet Silverado complaints

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS SOMETIMES DO NOT START WHEN SWITCHED ON. THERE ARE OTHER TIMES I AM DRIVING WITH THE WIPERS ON AND THEY STOP WORKING FOR AWHILE THEN START AND RUN FOR SOME TIME THEN STOP. I HAVE FOUND THAT WHEN THE WIPERS ARE NOT RUNNING AFTER BEING TURNED ON THAT IF I WIGGLE THE CONNECTOR AT THE WIPER MOTOR THEN THEY WILL START WORKING, BUT WHILE DRIVING THEY MAY AGAIN SHUT OFF. I CONTACTED CHEVROLET AND WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED UNDER THE RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. I WOULD LIKE FOR YOU TO INCREASE THE RECALLED VEHICLES WITH THIS PROBLEM. MY TRUCK DID NOT DEVELOPE THIS PROBLEM UNTIL ABOUT 1.5 YRS AGO AND I DIDN'T REALIZE THE SYSTEMIC PROBLEM RELATED TO THE WIPERS AND THOUGHT IT WAS JUST "THIS TRUCK" UNTIL I SAW THE RECALL WITH THIS PROBLEM AND FOUND MINE IS NOT INCLUDED. THANKS, WAYNE. *AK

WITH NO WARNING, REAR BRAKE WENT OUT, MAKING IT HARD TO STOP VEHICLE. CAUSE UNKNOWN. DEALER NOTIFIED BUT CANNOT REMEDY THE PROBLEM.*AK *TT

CHEVROLET WILL NOT HONOR THE RECALL OF THE DEFECT. HAVE CALLED THEM AND EMAILED THEM AND THEY REFUSE TO REPAIR A KNOWN RECALL ISSUE. NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER : 98V150001. NO SAFETY DEFECT LISTED WITHIN SUMMARY. *AK

WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL STOP INTERMITTENTLY DURING OPERATION. DEALER PERFORMED RECALL 96V0229. BUT PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. CONSUMER HAD TO PAY 50 PERCENT FOR COST OF REPAIRS. *AK *TT

WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEED AND WITHOUT WARNING SPARE TIRE UNLATCHED AND WAS RELEASED. *AK THE STEEL CABLE HOLDING THE SPARE TIRE HAD RUSTED CAUSING THE SPARE TIRE TO FALL OUT FROM UNDER THE TRUCK, THE SPARE TIRE BLOCKS VISUAL INSPECTION OF THE CABLE. *TT

WINDSHIELD WIPERS DON'T WORK HALF THE TIME. SOMETIMES THEY WORK FINE, SOMETIMES THEY DON'T EVEN START (JUST GET A GRINDING SOUND FROM THE WIPER MOTOR), AND SOMETIMES THEY WORK AT FULL SPEED WHEN SET TO SLOWEST SPEED. C SERIES TRUCKS HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM, BUT WHEN CHEVY CUSTOMER SUPPORT WAS CONTACTED, THEY SAID IT DIDN'T APPLY TO THE K SERIES (4 WHEEL DRIVE) AND THAT I WAS OUT OF LUCK. C SERIES WAS RECALLED FOR SAME PROBLEM IN SEPTEMBER OF 1998. THE ORIGINAL MALFUNCTIONING PART WAS REPLACED ON THIS TRUCK IN FEBRUARY OF 1997 WITH THE SAME MALFUNCTIONING PART. IN MY OPINION, SINCE THE RECALL OF THE CSERIES WASN'T UNTIL 9/98, THEN THE PART THAT WAS REPLACED WAS THE EXACT SAME MALFUNCTIONING PART. WHAT I WANT TO KNOW IS WHY WERE ONLY THE CSERIES TRUCKS RECALLED IF IT WAS A PROBLEM COMMON TO ALL OF THE CHEVY TRUCKS? *AK

VEHICLE, WITHOUT ANY WARNING, WILL SHUT OFF. CONTACTED DEALER, AND DEALER REPLACED INJECTION PUMP, IT DID NOT WORK. SECOND TIME THE PROBLEM OCCURRED DEALER REPLACED A SENSOR IN VEHICLE, BUT THAT REMEDY DID NOT WORK. PLEASE GIVE ANY FURTHER DETAILS. *AK

I HAVE HAD FOUR (4) TRANSMISSIONS FAIL IN 77,000 MILES. THEY ALL HAVE FAILED DUE TO THE COOLING SYSTEM BECOMING CLOGGED, CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO OVERHEAT. THE ORIGINAL TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 35,000 MILES. THREE OTHERS HAVE FAILED SINCE THAT TIME. THE FIRST THREE FAILED WHILE TRAVELING AT NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND NOT TOWING ANYTHING. THE MOST RECENT FAILURE OCURRED WHILE PULLING A SMALL TRAVEL TRAILER ON FLAT INTERSTATE HIGHWAY IN SOUTHERN ARIZONA. CHEVROLET CONTINUES TO PUT IN NEW TRANSMISSIONS AND CLEAR THE COOLING SYSTEM. HOWEVER, THE TRANSMISSIONS CONTINUE TO BURN UP. CHEVROLET HAS TOLD ME THE TRANSMISSION FAILURES ARE NOT RELATED AND HAS REFUSED TO PROVIDE ME WITH A FINAL LASTING FIX TO THE PROBLEM.*AK

I PURCHASED TWO SETS OF GOODYEAR WRANGLER TIRES BECAUSE THE FIRST SET HAD FLAT SPOTS ON THEM AFTER 25,000 MILES. GOODYEAR DESTROYED THE FIST SET W/O MY PERMISSION AFTER THEY WERE SENT IN BY HEURING CHEVROLET & CADILLAC AT 1856 US HIGHWAY 30 VALPARAISO, IN 46385 FOR INSPECTION. GOODYEAR NEVER REPLIED TO ME EITHER BY TELEPHONE OR BY E-MAILS THAT I MADE AND/OR THE SERVICE MANAGER AT HEURING CHEVROLET MADE. HAVING NO CHOICE OR TIRES I THEN PURCHASED A SECOND SET FROM BROWN TIRE AT 6755 MELTON RD IN PORTAGE, IN 46368 AND THEY HAD FLAT SPOTS ON THEM TOO AFTER 22,000 MILES. ALL EIGHT TIRES I HAD PURCHASE FROM GOODYEAR HAD FLAT SPOTS ON THEM AFTER DRIVING WITH THEM ON MY TRUCK. ARROW CHEVROLET TOLD ME TO DEAL WITH THE TIRE MANUFACTURE MYSELF CAUSE THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM. *AK (TIRESIZE: 235/75/15)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 235/75/15 )

I HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN SERIOUS ACCIDENT WHILE ON VACATION IN COLO. DRIVING ON I70 IN A HARD DOWNPOUR WHEN THE WIPERS STOPPED. ANY DEALER SHOULD DOCUMENT COMPLAINTS AND REPAIR AT NO COST.

TREAD SEPERATED, THEN BLEW OU AFTER TRAVELING FOR 4 HOURS, MILD DAY 80 DEG. JUST REBALANCED AND ROTATED TIRES LESS THAN 500 MILS PRIOR. NO WARNING, NO NOTICABLE TIRE WEAR OR UNDERINFLATION. DAMAGE TO TRUCK WAS EXTENSIVE, $1100 FENDER, TIRE, ETC. SPOKE W/ FIRESTONE, THEY DIDNT GIVE ANY AID, JUST SEND THE TIRE TO NASHVILLE, WITH CLAIN FORM. I WAITED FOR 4 WEEKS THEN THEY SENT CHECK W/ SIMPLE EXPLANATION OF DAMAGE COVERED. SINCE THEN I'VE NO LUCK SPEAKING W/ THEM CONCERNING REPLACEMENT TIRES OR REASONABLE REPARATIONS ON REMAINING 6 TIRES. REMAINING TIRES ARE SHOWING SIDEWALL CRACKS AND BULGES. I WILL REPLACE THESE TIRES MYSELF, BUT WILL KEEP TIRES FOR CLAIM / INVESTIGATIONS. *AK (DOT NUMBER: VDOR1WW435 TIRESIZE: LT23585R16)

I KNOW THAT THE S10 WAS RECALLED FOR THE WIPERS PROBLEM AND LOOKED IT UP AND CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE SILVERADO'S WERE NOT RECALLED. THEN I CALLED THE 800 NUMBER FOR CHEVY AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY DID NOT FEEL THAT IT WAS IMPORTANT ENOUGH TO RECALL. MY MAIN CONCERN IS THAT IT IS THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM AS THE S10'S AND IT HAS THE SAME WIPER MOTOR. SO WHY WILL THEY NOT FIX THIS PROBLEM TOO. *AK

WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 55 - 70 MPH TREAD ON THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE CAME OFF. DRIVER WAS ABLE TO CONTROL TRUCK. THIS WAS A BRIDGESTONE TIRE. ALL FOUR TIRES WERE REPLACED AT OWNER'S EXPENSE.
