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.

I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE USED, SHORTLY AFTER THE TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING. GOT RECALL INFORMATION, AND TOOK IT INTO 5 STAR DEALERSHIP. THEY VERIFIED THAT THE LOW AND REVERSE CLUTCH WERE WORN. BUT REFUSED TO REPLACE OR REMEDY THE SITUATION. THEY DID HOWEVER HONOR RECALL 99041 AND INSTALLED WIRING HARNESS FOR EBCM FOR ABS BRAKES. HOW IS ONE RECALL TOO OLD TO HONOR, YET ANOTHER IS NOT? THE TRANSMISSION RECALL WAS ISSUED IN 1994, MY JIMMY HAD BEEN IN THE SHOP PREVIOUSLY IN 1999. I WOULD THINK THAT THE RECALL SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE THEN. *NM

THE WIND HIELD WIPERS FAIL TO WORK 99% OF THE TIME DUE TO A WIRING PROBLEM (IT APPEARS). YOU CAN GET UNDER THE HOOD AND TOUCH THE WIPER MOTOR AND WIRING A NUMBER OF PLACES AND THEY WILL WORK. SOMETIMES JUST TOUCHING THE WIRING JACK WILL DO THE SAME, YET WHEN YOU TURN LOOSE THEY WILL STOP. WHEN THEY DO WORK YOU MUST HAVE THEM ON HIGH, THEN A LOT OF THE TIME THEY WORK AS IF THEY ARE ON DELAY, OR THEY WILL NOT WORK AT ALL. PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS PROBLEM, AND LET ME KNOW WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE TO CORRECT THIS. IT IS A SAFTY HAZARD NOT HAVING WIPERS WHEN IT'S RAINING/WHEN SOMEONE PASSES YOU AND HIT'S A WATER PUDDLE, AND IT SPLASHES ON YOUR WINDSHILED AND THEY WILL NOT WORK TO CLEAN IT OFF. *AK
