1995 Chevrolet Tahoe 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.

I FOUND OUT AFTER I HAD TO REPLACE THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR BECAUSE THE WIPERS WOULD ONLY WORK INTERMITTENTLY AND THAT THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL. I HAD PURCHASED A MOTOR AND INSTALLED IT MYSELF TO SAVE $100 OVER THE COST OF A MOTOR FROM THE DEALER, NOT TO MENTION LABOR. THE DEALER WOULD ONLY REIMBURSE ME $42, WHICH IT SAID WAS THE COST OF THE CIRCUIT BOARD. AT THE TIME I HAD TO REPLACE THE MOTOR, THE CIRCUIT BOARD WAS NOT AVAILABLE TO ME. I ONLY THINK THAT I SHOULD HAVE BEEN REIMBURSED FOR MY ACTUAL EXPENSES WHICH TOTALED ABOUT $70 FOR A REBUILT MOTOR. (THE DEALER WANTED $170 FOR A MOTOR). *AK
