REAR BRAKE LINE CORRODED THRU AND FAILED CAUSING LOW SPEED ACCIDENT. NO INJURIES THANK GOD. BUT IT WAS A BAD EXPERIENCE NOT BEING ABLE TO STOP A 5000LB TRUCK AT ANY SPEED, I WILL ATTEST TO THAT!

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS QUIT WORKING WHILE IN USE. THE CONSUMER HAD TO JIGGLE THE PLUG THAT WENT INTO THE WIPERS TO RESTART THE WIPERS.

CHEVROLET SAYS FAILED WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE RECALLED ON VEHICALS PRODUCED SEVEL MONTHS AFTER MINE FORE THE SAME FAILER. THE DEFECTIVE PART WAS INSTALLED ON MORE VEHICELS THAN THE MANUFACTURER'S PARAMERTERS IN THE CURRENT RECALL. ADDITIONAL VEHICALS SUCH AS MINE NEED TO BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL BEFORE MORE PEOPLE GET KILLED DUE TO THE THE SUDDEN FAILER OF WIPER IN HEAVY RAIN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. *AK
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.
