1994 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN Complaints

OWN A 1994 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN, WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED DUE TO CIRCUIT BOARD AND NTSB IDENTIFIED IN NTSB #03V159000. CHEVY WOULD NOT HONOR SAID MY S/N ON VEHCILE WAS 3,000 UNITS SHORT OF RECALL. MECHANIC SAID EXACT SAME PROBLEMS FOUND IN ALL 94'S. TOTAL COST WAS 110.00 ALL CHEVY WOULD SAY WAS SORRY, SEEM LIKE THAT PARTICULAR PART WAS USED IN ALL 94 AND IT SHOULD BE COVERED FOR SAFETY REASONS. WAS NEVER NOTIFED OF A PROBLEM AND THEY WENT OUT ON US 95 AT NIGHT IN A RAIN STORM. RECALL DID NOT COVER ALL PROBLEM VEHICLES. *AK

DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT DID NOT RETRACT. GM DEALER REFUSES TO REPAIR RETRACTOR BECAUSE THEY CLAIM IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY.*AK *MR

BRAKING SYSTEM INTERMITTENTLY FAILS DURING PANIC STOPS OR WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES OVER BUMPS AT A SLOW SPEED. *NLM

ON MY 1994 SUBURBAN THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAIL TO WORK SOMETIMES. CHEVROLET HAS PUT OUT A RECALL FOR THIS BUT WHEN I ASK ABOUT MY VHEICLE THEY SAY IT IS NOT COVERED. I AM A BIT CONFUSED BY THEIR LACK OF RESPONSE WHEN THEY KNOW THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM. *AK

RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELT RESTRAINT FAILED TO OPERATE. SEAT BELT NO LONGER FUNCTIONS AS DESIGNED. *LA

WINDSHIELD WIPERS EXPERIENCED THE SAME DEFECT AS STATED IN RECALL 03V159000; HOWEVER, THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED DUE TO VIN.*AK

RECALL NUMBER: 98V150001 MY 1994 CHEVY SUBURBAN IS NOT IN THE VIN NUMBERS COVERED BY THE RECALL ALTHOUGH IT WAS MADE AT SAME PLANT IN SAME YEAR AS OTHERS COVERED. I HAD TO PAY FOR EXACT REPAIR AS LISTED IN RECALL. DEALER SERVICE TECH. TOLD ME THAT THEY, "HAVE DONE AT LEAST 100 OF THESE REPAIRS ON MODEL YEARS THAT ARE IN THE RECALL, BUT MAYBE 30 OF THOSE HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN COVERED BY THE RECALL. THE OTHERS HAVE HAD TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR THEMSELVES JUST LIKE YOU." IT'S NOT THAT THE REPAIR WAS OVERLY EXPENSIVE, BUT IT SEEMS THAT IF THERE IS A RECALL THAT COVERS FIVE YEARS OF CARS MORE THAN 30% OF THE REPAIRS SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE COVERED VIN NUMBERS. I BELIEVE THAT THE NUMBER OF VEHICLES THAT SHOULD BE COVERED BY THIS RECALL SHOULD BE GREATLY INCREASED. *LA
