Complaints on fileComplaints 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.

AT ABOUT 1996 HAD TRANSFER CASE SEAL GO OUT AND LOST ALL FLUID. SECOND DEALER (GARVIN MOTORS, POWELL,WY) STATED NO PROBLEM WITH DRIVELINE. SAID GENERAL MOTORS WOULD NOT HELP WITH PROBLEM. VEHICLE PRESENTLY MUST HAVE U-JOINTS REPLACED (3RD TIME) AND CARRIER BEARING REPLACED (2ND TIME). DID GM EVER RECALL THIS VEHICLE FOR DRIVELINE PROBLEMS? HAVE HEARD THEY HAD HIDDEN WARRANTY ON EXTENDED CAB TRUCKS FOR DRIVELINE PROBLEMS, BUT I HAVE BEEN DENIED ASSISTANCE 2 TIMES BY 2 DIFFERENT DEALERS. CAN YOU HELP. THANKS MUCHLY.

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.
