1997 Chevrolet Tahoe visibility complaints
Page 3 of 3: complaints 41 to 51 of 51, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Windshield wipers work occasionally on high, but most of the time not when it is e fuel pump has had to be replaced two times and does not give a warning that it is going to to quit. The steering has a bad place in it a approx. 50mph going around a curve and will pull harder in to the curve, either there something wrong with parts to this truck or I have a lemon. I have spoke with others and their wipes do the same thing.
While driving in the rain windshield wipers would quit working without warning, causing driver's vision to be obscured. Would need to stop vehicle, get out, and jiggle wiper motor or wires to get them going again. Visibility was very poor in heavy rain. Taking vehicle to dealer to check out wiper motor & wires.
The vehicle would not start due to delco battery failure,which resulted from the battery leaking acid and in securely installed. The windshield washer failed due to the reservior and connection lines damaged by the leaking battery acid.
Intermittently windshield wipers quit working in the middle of operation. After turning windshield wiper switch on and off several times, the wipers finally came back on. Truck was taken to the dealership. Problem was not corrected. Please provide any further information.

On dec 24, 1997 for the first time in chicago, ill, my sister in law and I were on our way back home from thier company x-mas party. There first real storm of the year winter that is. On our way back we could not get the vehicle warm the windows were frosted right up my sister in law was helpnig me scrap the ice off the inside of the windshield. All windows were froz in the inside with three kids in back covered with blankets. I thought may be I was doing something wrong because this was the first time I really drove it anywhere. We went really slow all other vehicles were going slow or already off road stuck I had the vehicle in 4wd so we plowed right through everything. We got home and I told my husband he was in another vehicle with my brother I wanted my child in my vehicle because of the weather being so bad I figured he is safer in a bigger vehicle. When my husband went out he started the vehicle up and did not believe me nor my brother. A few days later we left and sure enough on our way home to michigan not but a few miles the heat quit working . We stopped about 5 hours later to warm up and eat we went back out vehicle had heat again not for long thou. We then in return brought the vehicle into dealership right away. They replaced the control head. This is the first time if more info please right or call please help us!
