What 1992 Chevrolet C1500 owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Just bought this 1992 chevrolet p/u c1500, very good looking truck and body in great shape but found that the frame directly under the front of the door on both sides of the truck are almost completely rusted into. I'm going to have to replace frame at a cost of approx. 2000 dollars.
Driving down road and side/top of tire (section) came off.
Winshield wipers work intermittently, manually moving them with hand sometimes gets them working again. On-going problem.
Consumer states that when the vehicle was in park the emergency parking brake disengages causing damage to the vehicle.dealer notified.
Vehicle is experiencing wiper failure during hard rain.
As a result of an accident driver's seat became undone, throwing consumer into steering wheel. *ak seat back and head rest came forward and caused severe bruising of chest muscles and bone structure, head was thrown into steering wheel causing mouth to strike causing bad cuts and bruises to lower lip, neck and head injuries are yet undiagnosed, seat bolt stripped out of the nut on the rear drivers side causing driver to be injured from momentum of seat.
Original paint flaking off the exterior of truck; transmission jumping from high to low gear for no reason. Also when transmission gets under a load(climbing a small hill) the transmission vibrates excessively untill you let off of the throttle. The entire vehicle shakes.
Windshield wiper motor stopped working while driving on the interstate. Vehicle was traveling approximately 65-70mph when this occurred. Could not get wipers to turn back on. Almost had an accident and had to pull off the side of the road and wipe windshield off. This has occured many times since and there needs to be a recall on the wiper motors on thie year truck(1992).
Seatbelts were replaced by dealer in 1996 free of charg. Currently, they are worn out again in same place. *ak the cable that holds the seat belt buckle to the floor failed.
