1995 Chevrolet C2500 Visibility Problems

Owner-reported complaints naming the visibility system, filed with NHTSA

Data refreshed

Visibility reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

WHEN HAULING CATTLE ON THE FREEWAY, A SUDDEN DOWNPOUR HIT, WE COULD NOT SEE AND THE WIPERS DID NOT WORK. THERE WAS QUITE A LOT OF TRAFFIC AND WE WERE VERY LUCKY TO BE ABLE TO PULL OVER SAFELY AND NOT CAUSE ANY ACCIDENTS. THE WIPERS HAD QUIT BEFORE AND OUR MECHANIC SAID TO TAP THE MOTOR TO LOOSEN ANY DIRT, THAT HELPED BUT WAS NOT A CURE. WE REPLACED THE MOTOR THE END OF APRIL, 1999. *AK
