Power steering assist tends to pull the wheel to the right or left with too much assist after barely turning the wheel one way or the other (has always done this since new). Windshield wipers have recently been acting up when activating the washer mechanism. Sometimes they won't work, sometimes they stop in the middle of the wipe cycle. The date below is a required field, but the incidents have happened numerous times since I purchased the vehicle new.
1997 GMC Sierra 1500 visibility complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 14 of 14, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I received a recall notice for my 1997 gmc suburban. The campaign number is 03023. The defect was related to the windshield wiper motor stopping which has recently happened to us during heavy rains. When I brought the vehicle to the dealership (tucks trucks in hudson ma), they refused working on the vehicle as the gm system showed a campaign status as "closed". I contacted gm and they said they would look into it. In the mean time I have wipers that stop working intermittently during rainstorms. I am curious to know how many of these campaigns are closed with no reason listed as mine is.
Automatic transmission slams into gear recently, changed fluid helped for a couple of months - windshield wiper motor works when it feels like it - fuel gauge has not worked since 1999 and other people I know have the same problems with their general motor trucks.
While driving windshield wipers malfunctioned which may caused visual difficulty, and could have resulted in a crash.
