What 1996 Chevrolet K15 owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
98v150001 should cover 4wd k1500 same failure occurs with these models as the same unit is involved. Dealer won't fix because "its not covered under recall". This is an oversight by the federal safety agency and the 4wd probably has a greater failure occurance since the failure mode is the solder joints failing due to vibration/ shock, which on a 4wd I would think it to be worse. In the htsa discription it says 2wd and 4wd vehicles but gm is only covering 2wd. So I guess I have to ask why ??
Right side seats keep losening, side door linkage continues to come apart, no way to easily escape, without rolling the window down!
Brake vacuum booster failed causing total brake failure.
Contatacted gm concerning the problem. They told me my vehicle was not covered under current recall of this type vehicle even if my problem was the same as stated in the recall for 1996 vehicles. Please look into having my model vehicle included in the recall. Thank you
