I WENT OUT ONE MORNING AND STARTED MY TRUCK AND HEARD A RATTLE NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. I GOT OUT AND OPENED THE HOOD. ALMOST INSTANTANEOUSLY THE ENGINE BACKFIRED AND THE COOLING FAN BLEW APART AND FRAGMENTS OF METAL CAME THROUGH THE PLASTIC SHROUD AND INTO MY FACE AND HEAD CAUSING SERIOUS AND WOULD HAVE BEEN FATAL INJURY TO MYSELF. IF IT WERE NOT FOR THE FAST RESPONSE OF THE PARAMEDICS WHO FLEW ME TO THE HOSPITAL BY CHOPPER. I AM NOW BLIND MISSING AN EYE AND MY FACE AND HEAD ARE SCARED ALONG WITH POSSIBLE BRAIN DAMAGE. PLEASE DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO KEEP THIS TRAGIC ACCIDENT FROM HAPPENING TO ANYONE ELSE. *TR

I PURCHASED A 1993 GMC SIERRA PICKUP FOR MY SON FROM MY FATHER WHO WAS THE ORIGINAL OWNER. MY FATHER TOOK VERY GOOD CARE OF IT MAKING ALL SCHEDULED MAINTENANCES AS WE HAVE DONE AS WELL AFTER PURCHASING IT. MY SON WAS ON HIS WAY TO SCHOOL WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE STEERING COLUMN BROKE. HE WAS UNABLE TO STEER THE TRUCK AND HAD TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AFTER GOING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH. LUCKILY HE DID NOT LOOSE CONTROL NOR DID HE CRASH HEAD ON INTO THE ON COMING LANE OF TRAFFIC. ONCE STOPPED HE COULDN'T GET THE IGNITION TO TURN OFF WITH THE KEY. HAD TO JIGGLE THE STEERING COLUMN AROUND TO SHUT OFF THE ENGINE. HE DID THIS WITHOUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. WE HAD THE TRUCK TOWED BACK TO OUR HOME AND ARE IN THE PROCESS OF FIXING IT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING IN RAIN WITH MY WIPERS ON LOW SPEED, THEY SUDDENLY STOPPED, JUST AS A TRUCK WAS PASSING ME, WITH THE ROAD WATER THROWN ON THE WINDSHIELD BY THE SEMI, I COULD NOT SEE THE ROAD AHEAD. I COULD SEE IN MY SIDE MIRROR THAT I WAS CLEAR ON MY RIGHT SIDE, SO I PULLED OVER ON THE SHOULDER AND STOPPED. I ALSO OWN A 1991 3/4 TON SILVERADO WHICH I HAVE HAD TROUBLE WITH THE WIPER DELAY FUNCTION, ALTHOUGH THEY HAVE NOT TOTALLY STOPPED AS THE SIERRA'S DID. I SPOKE WITH SOME OTHER GM TRUCK OWNERS WHO SAY THEY HAVE EXPERIENCED SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THE WIPER SYSTEMS OF THEIR TRUCKS, SOME AS FAR BACK AS 1988 MODELS. *JB

NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN 03V159000; GENERAL MOTORS ISSUED A WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR RECALL. THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DUE TO VIN. HOWEVER, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE WORKING INTERMITTENTLY. *AK *SC *JB

DEFECTIVE WIRING HARNESS TO WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR, CAUSING WIPERS TO STOP RUNNING RANDOMLY.*AK

#1 TRANSMISSION. SLIPS OUT OF GEAR INTO NUETRAL WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. MUST COAST OVER TO SIDE OF ROAD, TURN OFF ENGINE, WAIT, RESTART AND CONTINUE ON. NARROWLY CAUSED A COLLISION WITH A SEMI TRUCK WHILE COASTING TO SIDE OF ROAD. COMPLAINED TO DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES, SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. NOW TRANS IS LOCKED IN 2ND GEAR AND WON'T SHIFT TO A HIGHER GEAR. #2 PAINT. STARTED CHIPPING WITHIN 6 MONTHS OLD AND LESS THAN 2500 MILES. DEALERS SAID NOTHING COULD BE DONE. ROOF IS NOW RUSTED THROUGH AND HEADLINER IS HANGING DOWN. DEALER AND ZONE REP SAY GMC IS NOT RESPONSIBLE AND REFUSE TO REPAIR AND REPAINT. #3 SEAT BELT RETRACTOR. DRIVER'S SEAT BELT WILL NOT RETRACT AND IS VERY LOOSE. IT WOULD NOT PREVENT INJURY OR DEATH IF INVOLVED IN A CRASH. DEALER AND ZONE REP DENY RESPONSIBILITY AND REFUSE TO REPAIR EXCEPT AT MY EXPENSE. #4 RADIO. RADIO HAS BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES BY THE DEALER SINCE NEW AND THEY REFUSE TO REPLACE OR REPAIR IT AGAIN. VOLUME MUST BE TURNED UP ALL THE WAY TO BE HEARD. THIS IS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH EVERY RADIO THEY SAY THEY HAVE REPLACED.

REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION 4 TIMES, RECALL ON SEATS WERE FIXED BUT BOLTS KEEP BREAKING SO I BOUGHT NEW SEATS OF A DIFFERNT STYLE AND REPLACED THEM AFTER A 5 YEAR PROBLEM. PAINT HAS BEEN FLAKING OFF THE TRUCK FOR APPOXIMATELY 4 YRS AND I CANT GET THE DEALER OR GM TO DO ANYTHING WITH THIS PAINT PROBLEM. THEY SAY IT IS BECAUSE I AM THE SECOND OWNER. THE TRUCK WAS IN AN ACCIDENT BUT THE TOP OF THE CAB AND THE BED IS ALL THAT NEEDS PAINTED, AND THEY WERE NOT DAMAGED IN ANYWAY BECAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT.

WINDSHIELD WIPERS QUIT WORKING WHILE DRIVING IN A SNOW STORM. THIS RESULTED IN POOR VISIBILITY, WHICH ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. CONSUMER HAD TO PULL OVER, AND HIT THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR FOR THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS TO START WORKING. RECALL 03V15900 WAS ISSUED, BUT THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED DUE TO VIN. *AK

WHILE DRIVING IN INCLEMENT WEATHER WINDSHIELD WIPERS CAME ON AND OFF ON THEIR OWN. *AK

PROBLEMS WITH VEHICLE SLIPPING OUT OF GEAR WHILE DRIVING.*MR THE VEHICLE WENT FROM DRIVE TO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO TOLD THE CONSUMER THAT A NEW TRANSMISSION WOULD COST HIM $4000.00 AND TO REBUILD AN OLD ONE WOULD BE $3000.00. THE CONSUMER HAS MADE ONGOING COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE VEHICLE AND FEELS THE COST OF THE TRANSMISSION SHOULD BE LOWERED. NOT ONLY HAS THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION ,BUT THE ROOF OF THE TRUCK INCLUDING THE REPLACEMENT OF THE HEAD LINER THAT NOW HANGS DOWN WHICH WAS DUE TO THE ROOF LEAKING, THE CONSUMER HAD TO REPLACE THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BELT RETRACTOR AS WELL AS THE RADIO SYSTEM. *CB THE VEHICLE ALSO HAD A BROKEN SEAT BACK RECLINER, THE IGNITION SWITCH WOULD NOT TURN OFF, THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE WOULD NOT ENGAGE, THE SHOCKS WERE BAD AND THE VEHICLE WAS IN NEED OF AN ALIGNMENT. *JB

DRIVER'S SEAT BELT RETRACTOR WILL NOT RETRACT. SEAT BELT IS VERY LOOSE AND WOULD NOT PREVENT INJURY OR DEATH IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. DEALER AND GMC ZONE OFFICE REFUSE TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY AND/OR REPAIR THE RETRACTOR EXCEPT AT MY OWN EXPENSE. *LA

TRANSMISSION. COMES OUT OF DRIVE WHILE MOVING AND TRANSMISSION GOES INTO NEUTRAL. DRIVER MUST COAST OVER TO THE SHOULDER OF ROADWAY, STOP, TURN OFF ENGINE, WAIT SEVERAL MINUTES THEN RESTART ENGINE. CAN CAUSE A COLLISION WITH OTHER VEHICLES WHILE COASTING TO THE EDGE OF ROADWAY. HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING TO GMC FOR 10 YEARS WITH NO CORRECTION OF PROBLEM. I NARROWLY AVOIDED A COLLISION WHILE COASTING TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. *LA

WHILE DRIVING THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WORK INTERMITTENTLY CAUSING PROBLEMS ON THE HIGHWAY. THERE IS A RECALL ON SIMILAR VEHICLES BUT THE CONSUMER'S VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED. *PH

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE INOPERATIVE. A RECALL HAD BEEN ISSUED, HOWEVER, IT DID NOT APPLY TO CONSUMER'S VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER. *JB

THE CONSUMER'S DAUGHTER WAS UNSECURING THE BELT BUCKLE ATTACH TO THE SEAT. WHEN SHE LIFT UP THE BUCKLE UP THE BELT RETRACTED FAST AND HIT HER INSIDE OF THE MOUTH STRIKING HER FRONT TOOTH. THE DEALERSHIP IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. MR

TIRE DEVELOPED A LARGE EGG SHAPED BUBBLE ON RIGHT, OUTSIDE HALF OF TREAD AREA. NOT ON SIDEWALL BUT DIRECTLY ON THE THREAD. THE VEHICLE STARTED TO ROCK VIOLENTLY FROM SIDE TO SIDE CAUSING THE RIGHT FRONT END TO DIP AND RISE RAPIDLY. I STOPPED IMMEDIATELY AND OBSERVED THIS BUBBLE. I DROVE THE REST OF THE WAY HOME, APPROXIMATELY 2 MILES. AT 10 MPH. WHEN I ARIVED HOME THE TIRE THEN DEFLATED BUT IT DID NOT BURST. THE TIRE IS FLAT BUT INTACT. IS THIS A TIRE YOU WOULD BE INTERESTED IN TESTING OR CHECKING OUT? PLEASE ADVISE. I CAN SEE FROM MY EXPERIENCE HOW THE CAR COULD OVER TURN DUE TO THIS INCREASING VIOLENT RISING AND DIPPING OF THE FRONT END. IF THIS OCCURRED ON A DIP AND THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED I BELIEVE IT WOULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO ROLL OVER VERY QUICKLY. THANKS JOHN. *AK

TREAD CAME OFF OF THE TIRE. *AK (DOT NUMBER: MD11 T5H1 TIRESIZE: LT245/75R1)

THIS WAS A RECALL ITEM-94-C-62(B). SINCE THE RECALL I'VE HAD THE TRUCK IN THE DEALERS SHOP 3 TIMES. THEY'VE REPLACED THE SAME SEAT BOLTS EACH TIME. THEY EVEN REPLACED THE SEAT THE SECOND TIME IN THE SHOP. THE LAST TIME IT TOOK OVER A MONTH AND DEALING WITH 3 GM CUSTOMER SERVICE PEOPLE TO GET GM TO PAY FOR IT. WHICH AT THAT TIME GM STATED THAT THEY WOULD NO LONGER PAY FOR ANY FURTHER SEAT REPAIRS. THIS SEAT FEELS LIKE IT MIGHT BE GETTING LOOSE AGAIN. AS THIS WAS A RECALL ITEM ARE THEY ONLY OBLIGATED TO REPAIR IT AS LONG AS THEY WANT? ONE OF MY CONCERNS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN IT BREAKS AGAIN? EACH TIME IT BREAKS, IT DOES SO WHILE DRIVING. IS THIS JUST AN ISOLATED EVENT OR ARE OTHERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM? GM CUSTOMER SERVICE TOLD ME MY REOCCURING PROBLEM IS THE ONLY ONE THEY HAVE HEARD OF RELATED TO THIS RECALL.

EVERYONE I KNOW WHO OWNS A FULL-SIZED GENERAL MOTORS PICK-UP HAS EXPERIENCED INTERMETTENT FAILURE OF THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS. MINE HAVE NOW FAILED COMPLETELY AND WILL NOT FUNCTION AT ALL. I CONTACTED THE PARTS DEPARTMENT AT THE LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. THE GENTLEMAN IN THE PARTS DEPARTMENT STATED THAT 'QUITE A FEW' OF THE FAILING COMPONENTS HAVE BEEN SOLD. THE COMPONENT THAT IS FAILING IS SOME TYPE OF ELECTRONIC CARD THAT CONTROLS THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS. THE CARD IS MOUNTED ON THE FIREWALL IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. MY QUESTION IS: IF SO MANY OF THESE CARDS ARE FAILING AND CAUSING THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS TO STOP FUNCTIONING, WHY HASN'T GENERAL MOTORS ISSUED A RECALL TO HAVE A MORE RELIABLE COMPONENT INSTALLED? THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS PERFORM A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY FUNCTION BY MAINTAINING THE DRIVER'S VISION DURING ADVERSE WEATHER CONDITIONS*AK.

CONSUMER HAD RECALL 93V163 COMPLETED, 2 OF THE BOLTS ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE SNAPPED WHILE BRAKING ALSO CAUSING THE SEAT BACK FRAME TO CRACK IN THE WELDS, THE CONSUMER TOOK THIS TO THE DEALER WHO COMPLETED THE WORK FOR THE BOLTS BUT THE CONSUMER HAD TO PAY FOR THE PARTS, THE CONSUMER HAD THE SEAT BACK FRAME REPLACED ON HIS OWN, JUST RECENTLY WHILE BRAKING,THE BOLTS BROKE ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE, CAUSING THE BACK FRAME TO BEND AND SEPARATE AT THE WELD JOINTS, GM STATED THAT BECAUSE THE SEAT RECLINED FORWARD THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLACING OR REPAIRING THE SEAT BOLTS, THE CONSUMER ARGUED THAT WHILE BRAKING THE SEAT WOULD RECLINE FORWARD, BUT THE DEALER STILL REFUSED ANY KIND OF REPAIR. *SLC

WINDSHIELD WIPESR WORK INTERMITTENTLY OR NOT AT ALL. THIS CAUSES POOR VISIBILITY, AND MAY LEAD TO A VEHICLE COLLISION. FEEL FREE TO PROVIDE ANY FURTHER DETAILS. *AK

VEHICLE HAS EXPERIENCED CONTINUED TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS, REPLACED TRANSMISSION ON TWO OCCASIONS, HOWEVER CONTINUES TO EXPERIENCE PROBLEMS.

RECALL WORK WAS DONE IN MAY '96, SECOND FAILURE IN FEB '99 GMC WAS CONTACTED, NOTHING COULD BE DONE. RECALL WORK IS NOT GUARANTEED, EVEN THOUGH THIS COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUS HAD THE VEHICLE BEEN TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED WHEN THE FRONT SEAT BOLTS BROKE.

THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURED AT VEHICLE STARTUP, WHEN DRIVING AND ATTEMPTING TO TURN ON THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS, AS WELL AS HAVING THEM STOP RUNNING ONCE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. WHEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER GM DEALER TO HAVE THE PROBLEM CORRECTED THEY SAID THERE WAS A SHORT AND SUPPOSEDLY CORRECTED IT. THE PROBLEM HAS SINCE REOCCURED AND KEEPS OCCURING. THE NUMBER THAT I PUT IN THE BOX IS LOW WHEN I CONSIDER ALL OF THE TIMES THAT THEY WOULD NOT OPERATE WHEN THEY WERE TURNED ON.
