I own a 1998 chevrolet truck that has the same windshield wiper problems as the 1994 -1997 chevrolet trucks had where they will choose when they want to work. I took it to the dealer, and they said too bad, it's going to cost you to fix. Why is this not covered under the same recall?
Engine is making a knocking noise. Problem is related to carbon deposit build up which causes a piston knock.
Vehicle experiencing rumbling in rear end. Only occurs when turning left/right from a dead stop and after driving for at least one half hour.
