    I HAVE HAD TWO OF THE SIX INJECTORS ON THIS TRUCK REPLACED. EACH AT A DIFFERENT TIME, NOW, IT SEEMS AS IF MORE THAN ONE HAS GONE ON THE BLINK. NOT SURE WHAT THE HECK IS HAPPENING, BUT IT IS RATHER EXPENSIVE TO KEEP REPLACING THESE ONE AT A TIME. I ALSO DUG UP A WEBSITE THAT SHOWS THERE IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE INJECTORS; HOWEVER, I BELIEVE IT MAY ONLY APPLY TO CALIFORNIA VEHICLES.

    CONSUMER STATED THAT WINDSHIELD WIPERS WORKED INTERMITTENTLY, AND SOMETIMES THEY DID NOT WORK AT ALL. THIS WAS DANGEROUS BECAUSE WHEN WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED CONSUMER COULD NOT SEE WHERE SHE WAS GOING. ALSO, CONSUMER STATED THAT THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED WITH HER 1996 SUBURBAN WHICH WAS RECALLED. *AK

    THE DRIVER'S SEAT RECLINER HANDLE BROKE OFF INSIDE THE JOINT; HAD TO DRIVE IN A VERY UNCOMFORTABLE POSITION UNTIL IT WAS REPLACED! VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE; $300.00 AT THE DEALERSHIP. THE METAL SEEMED TO BE SOFT AND FAIRLY EASY TO BREAK; I DO NOT CHANGE THE SEAT POSITION OFTEN. 8JB

    WINDSHIELD WIPERS HAVE BEEN SPORADIC FOR LAST TWO MONTHS; WAS ABLE TO GET THEM STARTED BY GETTING OUT OF TRUCK AND MOVING THE BLADES BY HAND; LAST WEEK, IN HEAVY DOWN POUR, THE WIPERS WOULD NOT WORK AT ALL; STOPPED AT AN AUTOBODY SHOP, THE GUY SMACKED THE MOTOR WITH A WRENCH AND GOT THEM WORKING WELL ENOUGH FOR ME TO GET HOME. THEY ARE STILL NOT WORKING. *JB
