Intermittently windshield wipers become inoperable obstructing the driver views. Dealer sorry there is no recall on this vehicle. Please provide further information.
Windshield wipers work intermittently. This can result in inoperative windshield wipers, reducing driver's visibility, and increasing risk of a vehicle collision. Dealer / manufacturer were notified, and informed consumer that vehicle was not covered under a recall. Feel free to provide any further information on this matter.
Windshield wipers come on intermittently without prior warning. Dealership is aware of problem.
Inspection found cracks to the hitch platform. The receiver (hitch platform) was factory installed when new. Consumer tows a 34 foot airstream travel trailer.
This is not my personal vehicle, I work for an insurance company handling a claim in which two of our insured's employees were injured after losing control of their vehicle when the tread separated from the tire. A police report confirms this is how the incident occurred. I am reporting this as I am aware of these incidences ocurring with the steeltex, yet it is not part of the recall. (dot number: vm11b1a tiresize: lt24575r16)
1993, chevrolet c2500, about 5,000 miles on the tires, tire size lt24575r16. While driving there is vibration which may cause a loss of vehicle control. Took to chevrolet dealer. Dealer stated it was bad tire, and one of the tires had a bulge in it. Went to a tire place and they confirmed what dealer said. Also, indicated that wheels of the truck were defective. *ak dealer found one of the tires to have sidewall/tread separation. Dot#mk11jnhv449 - goodyear workhorse tires.
Pe00 020; consumer was traveling about 70mph on highway and heard a loud noise because tread was hitting up againt vehicle. He was able to pull over to the shoulders. There were two incidents, second incident was on right rear tire, and first incident was on left rear tire where tread had separated. Tires were bridgestone, firestone, 2657516, duller#ht. There were no injuries reported.
I started having problems shortly after buying this vehicle and it has been in the shop every 6 to 8 months ever since. To this date I have had 15 heater cores, 2 radiators, all hoses, 1 motor, and 2 sets of glow plugs replaced. Each time a component fails I get the truck back with the dealership telling me that they "fixed" the problem now and I won't be coming back. Since it takes 6 to 8 months for the problem to recur I am now stuck with a lemon vehicle that continues to have the same problem from day one and is now out of waranty.
Windshield wipers become inoperable in rainy weather conditions, cause unknown. *ak
