1994 Chevrolet Suburban visibility complaints
Page 2 of 7: complaints 11 to 40 of 168, newest first, as owners wrote them.
1994 chevrolet suburban wiper motors fail and work intermittently and stop while driving creating very dangerous conditions. Is listed as recall on the federal safety agency campaign id number 03v15900 and 98v150001 on your web site. We called chevrolet on 800‑222‑1020 and were told this is not a recall item after seven years. The recall was not issued until 07/01/98 and 04/28/03 - that makes the recall notice past the seven year chevrolet policy.
Windshield motor works intermittently. This was reported to urka chevrolet in ludington mi and they stated our 1994 suburban was not covered by the recall and told us to call chevrolet. Same story with them. I was travelling from fort leavenworth, ks to custer mi during easter 2005 the wipers quit working while travelling along at approx. 65mph. No accident, but scary to pull over on highway at nite cause of lack of vision.
The windshield wipers worked intermittently. This vehicle was not included in the federal safety agency recall campaign 03v159000 due to VIN.
Windshield wipers work than stop. I wiggle wire connector to motor than they will work for a short period. If I am driving down the road, they will stop working and sometimes start working again. I found out that 1994 suburban 4x4 are not on the recall list for the card that has a faulty solder. I have also replaced my drivers side caliper 4 times since purchasing the vehicle in january 2003. I also replaced the brake hose on the drivers side. The calipers seemed to get stuck and would not release.
I have had two issues with this vehicle: 1. Windsheild wiper intermittent failure. This started to happen after the warranty period expired. I was informed by a chevrolet dealer that the recall(s) issued that match this behavior exactly do not apply to my vehicle. I believe the recall should include my 1994 chev. Suburban c-1500 vehicle, as it clearly demonstrates this exact intermittent behavior. Beyond inquiring recently with my local dealer, nothing has been done to correct this issue. 2. Poor ABS brake performance. This symptom has existed since the vehicle was new. I complained several times, but no problems were found at the time of complaints at the dealership. I noticed that there was a recall associated with this symptom, but I have not yet inquired with my local dealership to see if the issue can be corrected. I have had several "near misses" when having to stop suddenly and almost hitting the vehicle in front of me due to poor ABS performance and increased stopping distance.
Windshield wiper quit in the middle of a snow storm.wipers will start then go off and not restart.never know when they will work.
Own a 1994 chevrolet suburban, windshield wipers failed due to circuit board and ntsb identified in ntsb #03v159000. Chevy would not honor said my s/n on vehcile was 3,000 units short of recall. Mechanic said exact same problems found in all 94's. Total cost was 110.00 all chevy would say was sorry, seem like that particular part was used in all 94 and it should be covered for safety reasons. Was never notifed of a problem and they went out on us 95 at night in a rain storm. Recall did not cover all problem vehicles.
While driving in inclement weather windshield wipers came on and off.
On my 1994 suburban the windshield wipers fail to work sometimes. Chevrolet has put out a recall for this but when I ask about my vheicle they say it is not covered. I am a bit confused by their lack of response when they know that there is a problem.

Recall number: 98v150001 my 1994 chevy suburban is not in the VIN numbers covered by the recall although it was made at same plant in same year as others covered. I had to pay for exact repair as listed in recall. Dealer service tech. Told me that they, "have done at least 100 of these repairs on model years that are in the recall, but maybe 30 of those have actually been covered by the recall. The others have had to pay for the repair themselves just like you." it's not that the repair was overly expensive, but it seems that if there is a recall that covers five years of cars more than 30% of the repairs should be included in the covered VIN numbers. I believe that the number of vehicles that should be covered by this recall should be greatly increased.
