I HAVE A 1999 (MANUFACTURED APRIL 1998) CHEVROLET TAHOE. WAS RETURNING HOME WITH FAMILY IN MIDDLE OF THUNDERSTORM, WHEN WINDSHIELD WIPERS TOTALLY STOPPED WORKING. HAD A HECK OF A TIME MAKING IT HOME SAFELY. IMMEDIATELY TOOK TAHOE TO DEALER, WHERE AFTER MIS-DIAGNOSIS OF PROBLEM, WAS FINALLY RESOLVED WITH REPLACEMENT OF $400 WIPER MOTOR. I KNOW THAT THERE WAS A RECALL OF 97 MODELS AND THIS WAS MANUFACTURED IN APRIL OF 1998. COULD THERE BE A LINK? CHEVROLET/GM HAS STATED IN NO UNCERTAIN TERMS, THEY WILL NOT FIX THIS UNDER A SAFETY ISSUE, AND I AM ON MY OWN. NOT ONLY IS THIS THE 1ST VEHICLE I'VE EVER HAD A WIPER MOTOR GO BAD, BUT THAT COUPLED WITH THE RECALLS OF THE PRIOR YEAR'S ??? THAT'S MY COMPLAINT. *NLM

1999 CHEVROLET TAHOE - STEERING PROBLEMS. STEERING WHEEL INCONSISTENTLY LOSES TENSION AND OFFERS TOO MUCH PLAY - CAUSING DANGEROUS JERKING AND UNPREDICTABLE SWERVING. *JB

THE BRAKE LIGHTS ON THE VEHICLE FAILED BECAUSE A WIRE IN THE SYSTEM BURNED OUT. THERE IS NO CURRENT RECALL FOR THIS HARNESS BUT THE REPLACEMENT PART IS OF HEAVIER GAUGE WIRE. THE CIRCUIT IS FUSED BUT THE FUSE WAS STRONGER THAN THE CIRCUIT IT IS SUPPOSED TO PROTECT. I THINK THAT IN SOME CASES THIS COULD BE A FIRE HAZARD AND IN ANY CASE THE LOSS OF BRAKE LIGHTS IS CERTAINLY DANGEROUS. *JB

THE VEHICLE HAD NO STABILITY WHILE DRIVING, THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE MOVED IN DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS. *JB

WHILE DRIVING THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION DIDN'T SHIFT FROM THE FIRST TO THE SECOND GEAR PROPERLY. *NLM
