Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 32 of 32, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Passenger sliding door window shattered while driving for no reason at all. Nothing hit the window and it just popped loudly and shattered.
Rear passenger's window exploded while driving at 30 MPH. Fortunately seat was empty and nobody was hurt.
Consumer stated vehicle was having the same problem as mentioned in recall on the windshield wipers. Dealer will not repair because VIN is not included. Recall number unknown.
Consumer states the anti-lock brake light comes on intermittently. Manufacturer notified, also the front brake and rotors have been replaced.
Consumer states while stopped at red light with no warning the rear window on the van exploded. Consumer is assuming that either the window had been improperly installed or there was faulty material in the glass itself.
Front wiper blades stopped working twice.
I was driving on the hwy and the side window next to the drivers seat exploded. There was no warning. It is supposed to be safety glass. It shaddered into thousand of pieces and they flew all over the van. It is my understand that safety glass is supposed to hold the glass together. This did not happened. It was like if the glass had been frozen and then shaddered. It was very dangerous and almost cause me to crash. Please advise me if this has happened to other chevy vans.
Back window shattered. Dealer has been notified.
Driver entered vehicle and shut driver's door, and rear window shattered. Dealer did not know why this happened.
We have had nothing but problems with our "lemon" and we have received no response from chevrolet on our concerns.
The passenger side mirror will not stay at the fixed position, I have to constantly adjust it every time I drive. This creates dangerous driving condition.
When using windshield wipers there is a smear present that causes poor visibility. Dealer has replaced the windshield wipers, and problem still exists. *ak windshield presents a hazar d on the road at night because of the glare from on coming lights and in the day time when it rains.
Van fogs up all windows which makes it impossible for the driver to see out. Defrost takes it off the windshield, mostly, but all other windows stay fogged over. Air conditioner did not work correctly when van was purchsed, but the dealership claimed it did. I believe the air conditioner/defrost is all related. As such, the van has had a problem since the purchse date. The dealer was unable to duplicate the problem-had it in for service 8+ times. Ed bozarth chevrolet refuses to see the van for this problem.
A/c is not cooling adequatley. Yh
While driving north bound on I-71 in northern kentucky, my driver side window blew out. I immediately pulled to the side of the road and dialed "911". Within minutes, the kentuck state highway patrol was on the scene. As we evaluated the situation and condition of the vehicle in question, I had concerns that the window was shot out. The officer assured me that it was not for the projectile would still be in the vehicle. We further discussed other projectiles hitting the window and that too was ruled out for the same reason as previously stated. Also, the majority of the glass blew outside the vehicle. Glass fragments were inbedded into the paint on the driver side and additional chips were discovered in the rear window (same side) as well. The sound of the window shattering is similar to a shot gun blast. It scared the *&%&*% out of me, my wife and my children. Should we have been in heavier traffic, this could have been fatal. As I have discussed this with many people, I have discovered that this is a more frequent occurence then you would think. I believe that most people assume that something contacted the window causing it break and simply turn it in to the insurance. When in fact, there could be a serious defect in the glass itself or the mechanism used to raise and lower these windows.
The 24' wiper blades would not stay attached and is a serious road hazard. Yh
Seat belt holder missing. Nlm
Plastic tube within heating/ventilation system , underneath the dashboard and above accelerator pedal, became loose and fell out. It then got wedged behind the accelerator pedal which did not allow vehicle to retuen to idle, almost causing an accident. Also replaced front brake disc rotors and pads.
Driving with wiper on when the windshield exploded outward.
Windshield wiper do not function in snow or freezing rain because they freeze in the hole and cannot be dug out.
Heater - the heater does not work properly to heat vehicle -- there is not enough air coming from any vent, whether it be in floor, A/C vents, or defroster position. -- seems to indicate that there is a restriction in the air flow, possible an interior heater door not working properly. -- heater can be on max heat in highest blower motor position and vehicle never gets warn enough to turn heater controls down -- this is a little better when vehicle is sitting still for a long period, but it is not uncommon to have cold feet while driving. -- dealer states that all like models operate the same and that there is no problem. -- air flow through ducts is possible 1/3 that of our 1996 blazer and 1997 pick-up truck, both of which have great heaters.
