What this page shows
Everything below is an owner-reported complaint submitted to NHTSA about the 1992 Chevrolet Pickup, grouped by the component NHTSA recorded on the report. These are not confirmed defects, and they are not recalls. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a category with more reports in it is not evidence that a part is defective.
Complaints are reports submitted by owners and drivers to NHTSA. They are not verified and do not establish that a defect exists.

HERE'S THE TEXT I E-MAILED TO THE CHEVROLET CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER A FEW MINUTES AGO: I HAVE RECEIVED YOUR LETTER ALERTING ME ABOUT A POTENTIAL WIPER PROBLEM WITH MY 96 SUBURBAN. IT JUST SO HAPPENS THAT THE PROBLEM YOU DESCRIBED RECENTLY BEGAN TO OCCUR IN MY 92 PICKUP. THE WIPERS WILL SIMPLY STOP WORKING WITHOUT WARNING. LATER, THEY'LL START WORKING AGAIN ON THEIR OWN. THEY HAVE STOPPED IN VARIOUS POSITIONS AT VARIOUS TIMES. I'D LIKE TO THINK THAT THIS DEFECT, SIMILAR TO THE ONE OBSERVED IN NEWER MODELS, COULD BE CORRECTED BY MY DEALER AT NO COST TO ME.
