Reports submitted to NHTSA, shown in the owner's own words
CONSUMER EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS WITH WIPER MOTOR PRIOR TO RECEIVING RECALL NOTICE. *BF THE CONSUMER REQUEST REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE REPAIRS MADE PRIOR TO RECEIVING THE RECALL NOTICE. *NM
WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED INTERMITTENTLY DURING OPERATION, CAUSING POOR VISIBILITY. CONSUMER WILL HAVE TO GET OUT OF VEHICLE AND WIGGLE CONNECTOR TO RESTART WIPERS, BUT EVENTUALLY THEY WILL FAIL AGAIN. CONSUMER CONTACTED DEALER, AND WAS TOLD VEHICLE WAS IS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL DUE TO VIN ALTHOUGH IT HAD SAME DEFECT. *AK
WHILE DRIVING AT 30 MPH FRONT LEFT BRAKE DISC ROTOR BROKE, LEAVING VEHICLE WITH NO FRONT BRAKING POWER. DEALER HAS BEEN CONTACTED. *AK
FRONT DRIVERS SEAT DISPLAYED AN INCREASING WOBBLE FROM ABOUT MID OCT 1999. WHEN THE WOBBLE WORSENED, I ATEMPTED TO TIGHTEN THE FRONT DRIVER'S SEAT ANCHOR BOLTS (WHERE SEAT ASSEMBLY ATTACHES TO SEAT FRAME STRUCTURE). AT THAT TIME I FOUND THAT THE FRONT STRUCTURAL CROSS MEMBER OF THE DRIVERS SEAT HAD SHATTERED AT THE MOUNTING BOLT DISPLAYING SEVERE FATIGUE FAILURE. IF AN ACCIDENT WERE TO OCCUR THERE IS HIGH PROBABILITY OF THE SEAT DISLODGING OR COLLAPSING DUE TO COMPROMISED STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY.
THIS TRUCK HAS ABS. AT SPEEDS ABOVE 25 MPH, WHEN THE BRAKES ARE EVEN LIGHTLY TOUCHED, ON ANY SURFACE, THE TRUCK WILL SHAKE TREMENDOUSLY (ENOUGH TO SHAKE YOU OUT OF THE SEAT). 2 MECHANICS SO FAR HAVE FOUND NO PROBLEMS. TAKING THIS TO THE LOCAL DEALER IN 2 DAYS.
WIPER BOARD WAS FIXED FOR OVER 100 DOLLARS, BUT LATER FOUND THAT MANY OTHER TRUCKS OF SAME TYPE HAVE HAD A RECALL, SO WHY CAN'T THIS TRUCK HAVE IT ALSO, IF HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS?
WINDSHIELD WIPERS / WASHER FAILED, RECALL ON COMPONENT HOWEVER VEHICLE DENIED DUE TO VIN #. YC
WINDSHIELD WIPER BLADE MOTOR FAILS INTERMITTENTLY. GM IS AWARE AND HAS A RECALL CAMPAIGN, BUT THAT MY TRUCK VIN NO DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR THE RECALL. ALSO ON THE BRAKE SYSTEM THERE SEEMS TO BE A DELAY FROM THE TIME OF BRAKE APPLICATION TO THE ACTUAL MECHANICAL STOPPING OF THE VEHICLE. *AK

Complaint and recall counts across every year of this model
Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers. Older model years have had longer for reports to accumulate.
