SOMETIMES THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS COME ON AND SOMETIMES THE WIPERS WILL NOT COME ON, TRUCK NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL (98V-150), REPAIRS MADE AT OWNER'S EXPENSE. CJ

I CALLED THE NHTSA OFFICE AND REPORTED THIS BY PHONE IN NOVEMBER 2000. THEY TOOK THE SAME INFORMATION AND SAID THAT I WOULD RECEIVE A FORM IN THE MAIL TO SIGN AND RETURN. THE FORM HAS NEVER BEEN RECEIVED. THE DEALER SERVICE TECH. THOUGHT THIS WOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE RECALL.(THIS IS HOW I FOUND OUT THERE WAS ONE) WHEN THE SERVICE MANAGER CHECKED, HE SAID IT DID NOT FALL INTO THE LIST OF VIN #'S. WHEN I CONTACTED GENERAL MOTORS ABOUT THIS ISSUE, THEY SAID THAT I WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL THAT IS ALREADY GOING ON. MY VIN # WAS NOT ON THE LIST. I HAD THE DEALER REPLACE THE CIRCUIT BOARD AT MY COST. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE RECALL EXPANDED AND MY MONEY REIMBURSED. THANK YOU! *AK

WINDSHIELD WIPERS MALFUNCTIONED WHILE IN USE WHICH CAUSED VISUAL DIFFICULTY, AND MAY RESULTIN A CRASH. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM; BUT, THIS VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL DUE TO VIN ALTHOUGH IT HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. *AK THE WIDSHIELD FAILED INTERMITTANTLY SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. *YH

EVERY REPAIR SHOP I CONTACTED FOR A QUOTE NEW EXACTLY WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS WITHOUT EVEN LOOKING AT THE VEHICLE, COMMENTING THAT THIS WAS A VERY COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH MY TYPE OF VEHICLE. A COOLANT LEAK FROM A BAD INTAKE MANIFOLD CAN BE A VERY COSTLY, ESPECIALLY IF NOT DETECTED EARLY.*AK

DOOR HANDLES HAVE BEEN DIFFICULT TO USE SINCE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. AFTER ARRIVING AT A DESTINATION DRIVER TRIED TO OPEN DOOR FROM THE INSIDE, AND DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN. THEN DRIVER TRIED PUSHING ON DOOR WHILE USING DOOR HANDLE, AND THE HANDLE BROKE. BOTH DOORS HAVE BEEN TOUGH TO USE. DIFFICULTY APPEARS TO COME FROM USE ON THE INSIDE ONLY. *AK ALSO LATCH ON TAIL GATE FAILED. THE CONSUMER WAS EVEN MORE CONCERNED ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY THAT THE DOOR MIGHT NOT OPEN DURING ACCIDENT OR FIRE. *YH

WHEN TURNING KEY TO START VEHICLE NOTICED A BURNING SMELL COMING FROM STEERING WHEEL. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION. *AK

WHEN DRIVING IN RAINY WEATHER CONDITIONS WINDSHIELD WIPERS WORK INTERMITTENTLY, CAUSING POOR DRIVER'S VISIBILITY. ALSO, RECALL 98V150001/MANUFACTURER'S RECALL 98043, DID NOT INCLUDE THIS VEHICLE. CONSUMER HAD REPLACED WIPER BOARD, NOT PROBLEM SINCE REPLACEMENT. *AK *SLC
