1995 GMC SIERRA Complaints

WINDSHIELD WIPERS WORK INTERMITTENTLY. THERE IS A RECALL ON WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR, BUT THIS VEHICLE IS NOT AFFECTED DUE TO VIN. *AK

INTERMITTENT WIPER AND WASHER OPERATION - SAME AS OTHER COMPLAINTS - DEALER AND GMC BOTH STATE VEHICLE NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL (NHTSA 98V15001, AND MFG.#98043) BASED ON VIN NUMBER. THERE ARE OBVIOUSLY MANY FAILURES NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL- WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO GET GM TO INCLUDE THIS VIN IN THE RECALL??*AK

GM AND DEALERSHIP VISTA CHEVROLET IN LAS VEGAS, NV REFUSED REPAIRS OR REIMBURSEMENT FOR REPAIRS AS REQUIRED BY PRODUCT SAFETY RECALL CAMPAIGN BULLETIN NO. 98043 DATED SEPTEMBER 1998. IF THEY ARE CORRECT THAT OUR VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED BY THIS SAFETY RECALL, THEN THE SCOPE OF THE 1998 RECALL WAS TOO NARROW, AS DEMONSTRATED BY THE FAILURE OF THIS SAME PART IN OUR VEHICLE. WE FINALLY PAID AN INDEPENDENT GARAGE TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE PART IN DECEMBER, 2000. GM SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO EXPAND THE SCOPE OF THE RECALL TO INCLUDE OURS AND SIMILAR VEHICLES.*AK

WINDSHIELD WIPERS WORK ONLY INTERMITTENTLY, A BUMP IN ROAD IS ENOUGH TO STOP THEM FROM OPERATING PROPERLY. *AK *JB

ABS LIGHT WENT ON PERMANTLY AND ABS DIDNOT WORK HAD TO HAVE MOTOR REPLACED BECAUSE OF MOTOR AND VALVE FAILURE FEB 2000, SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED IN JULY 2000 WITH THE SAME RESULTS AND THE MOTOR HAD TO BE REPLACED AGAIN, NOW HAS HAPPEN A THIRD TIME WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND SAME SOLUTION MARCH 2001, THERE IS NO REASON THIS UNIT SHOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED THREE TIMES IN 13 MONTHS. *AK

VEHICLE WAS SHOWING SAME DEFECT AS STATED IN NHTSA RECALL 98V150001. MANUFACTURER INFORMED CONSUMER THAT HIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL DUE TO VIN. *AK CONSUMER STATES WIPERS WORK INTERMITTENTLY AND CAUSE POOR VISION. *SLC

WINDSHIELD WIPERS WORK INTERMITTENTLY AND PERIODICALLY, STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY. THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ISSUED UNDER 98V150001, BUT TMANUFACTURER HAS ADVISED THAT THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT A PART OF RECALL DUE TO VIN. *AK *SLC

WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL WORK ONLY INTERMITTENTLY FOR YEARS. CURRENTLY, HAVE STOPPED WORKING. THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS MAKE/MODEL; BUT THIS VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED DUE TO VIN. *AK *SLC

THE WINDSHIELF WIPERS HAVE BEEN A PROBLEM FOR YEARS, BUT SINCE USE OF THIS TRUCK IS DISCRETIONARY AND OFF ROAD FOR THE MOST PART, I NEVER DID ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THE WIPERS FAILED COMPLETELY ON AN INTERSTATE AT NIGHT IN THE RAIN; I COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING. I ALSO COULD NOT SHAKE THE WIRING HARNESS OR TAP THE CIRCUIT BOARD TO GET IT TO START AGAIN, LIKE I HAVE DONE IN THE PAST. I WAS TOLD THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS (TSB#98043), BUT THE DEALER WHO TOOK OVER FOR THE ONE I BOUGHT IT FROM SAID THAT IT DOES NOT APPLY TO MY VEHICLE (VIN). WHY NOT? IT IS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM ON THE SAME VEHICLE TYPE/SIZE/ETC. IF THE "RECALL" DOES NOT APPLY, IT SHOULD. THE NEW DEALER SAYS THEY WILL LOOK AT IT FOR $75, AND THEN FIX IT (WITH PERHAPS A "CREDIT" BEING GIVEN FOR THE REPAIR). I FIGURE THAT THE $75 IS TO PAY FOR THE FIX, TO A PROBLEM THAT IS ENDEMIC, AFFECTING SIMILAR VEHICLES. PLEASE HELP.

ASKED FOR RECALL INFO. FROM DEALER, NEVER RECEIVED ANY RECALL INFORMATION. LOOKING TO SEE IF THERE WAS EVER A RECALL ON TRANSMISSION.*AK
