Wipers just stopped working while driving in the rain. unable to get them to turn back on. seems to be eerily similar to a previous recall (03v159000) of earlier year model vehicles. recall needs to be extended asap to cover 1998+ year model vehicles

I just bought the truck used and sometimes the windshield wipers will work and sometimes they will not come on at all. it does this whether it IS stationary, in motion, on a city street or a highway, turning, braking, hot or cold weather, etc. it IS unsafe when it IS raining because the wipers do not clear the windshield of rain, snow, sleet, water from other vehicles on the road passing or ahead of you or sleet. you cannot see clearly where you are driving. I was told by a friend they had a recall on the 1997 wiper motor on his S10 truck. thought this might be the same problem. the two owners before me had the same problem with it. I am not sure who the orginal owner IS or was.

While in motion on the freeway, the spare tire hoist cable under the truck bed failed and the spare tire dropped to the ground. After it fell, a second safety cable used to prevent theft of the tire was causing the tire to drag behind the vehicle for an unknown number of miles. While pulling over, the safety cable also failed due to rubbing against the ground and the tire came fully loose from the truck. Another vehicle behind the truck ran into the tire but no major accident occurred. Both vehicles were able to pull off the road. the loose spare tire and the loose safety cable lock were recovered, however, the broken piece for the tire hoist was not recoverable. damaged/failed hardware: oem spare tire cable hoist (failed), third part safety cable (damaged)

My pickup was sitting in front of my home when it wouldn't start. I raised the hood and a rat was under the hood with debris with pieces of hoses and insulation from under the hood. After removing the debris I could see the wireing coatings and the hoses were all chewed and missing with part of it in the debris. I had discovered the same type of damage to my car that day but with a squirrel under the hood! I've lived here many years never had a problem with other vehicles. Afraid this could cause a safety hazard if it doesn't show up till on the road. Have not had it repaired yet due to the severity of damage & cost. Why are the rodents eating the wiring cover and hoses in vehicles?

The vehicle intermittently shuts off while driving. all power IS lost. all lights on instrument panel come on as if the truck were just started. "service engine soon" light comes on. sometimes the truck restarts and continues working and other times it stalls completely as if the key was turned off. this happens at random times and in random situations. we may be accelerating aggressively (merging into traffic) or driving smoothly at slower speeds. it IS not consistent with road conditions, temperature or whether we are driving up or downs a hill, on the flats, going straight or around curves. it may happen twice within a mile then not again that day. once it has staled completely, starting the engine can be difficult, like it IS not getting fuel or electrical current to the engine. fuel filter has been changed with no change in symptoms. problem codes that come up when diagnosed are as follows... p1632 p0341 p0335 this problem has just begun to show itself in the past 6 weeks, maybe starting in early september, 2015. this IS very disconcerting as this IS my wife's commuter car and she does not feel safe in it at this point.

I backed out of my driveway. Began slowly traveling down the hill that I live on. The brakes completely failed. The brake warning light was not on prior to this occuring. The engine also stalled. I had no way to slow or stop safely, as the parking brake cable was rusted and did not work. I made it to the bottom of the hill. Ended up driving off of a small embankment causing damage to the front bumper and other external areas in the front. The hood and driver side door are no longer sealing very good. a repair shop had to replace much of the brake lines due to failure caused by rust. the mechanic also found fuel line damage due to rust and replace them as well. I could have easily been injured or died that day, or have caused injury or death. Why has chevrolet not been required correct these problems? *tr

I was driving on freeway at 60mph and set the cruise control on, but the truck continued to accelerate, even after stepping on brake pedal, I was able to control the speed by holding the brake pedal, downuntil I got to my destination, turned the truck off/on and checked to see the acceleration had stopped, the truck stayed on high idle.

Windshield wipers work only intermittently or not at all. Problem IS exacerbated by bumpy roads. Online research shows this IS apparently a common problem related to cracked solder joints on the wiper control circuit board, a problem for which two recalls have already been issued by chevrolet but which do not extend to the 1998 model year. Wipers will often shut off unexpectedly while driving in heavy rain. Obviously, this IS a serious safety issue and the previous recalls that only cover up to 1997 need to be extended to cover later model vehicles which suffer from the same safety problem. (The incident date in this complaint IS a random date selected shortly after I purchased the vehicle and around the time I first noticed the problem. This issue IS ongoing and has become increasingly severe since then.) *kb

General motors IS conducting a special policy program for 903,464 owners of 2000 - 2003 model s/t vehicles through which owners may, at their option, either (1) periodically inspect the tailgate support cables installed in their vehicle and have the cables replaced if the cable coating exhibits any indications of damage or deterioration or (2) request that the tailgate support cables be replaced free of charge.

Odi IS upgrading rq04-012 and opening an ea to investigate the tailgate support cables installed in 1998 - 2004 model year sonoma and S10 model vehicles.general motors IS conducting recall campaign 04v-129 to replace the tailgate support cables originally installed in certain model year 2000-2004 sierras and silverados and certain model year 2002-2004 avalanches and escalade exts (c/k models).general motors has advised odithat the tailgate support cables installed in the subject vehicles were fabricated using identical or similar sheathing material as the recalled vehicles.however,general motors has advised odi that sonoma and S-10 vehicles differ from c/k models in several ways: the vehicle height IS lower; the tailgate displacement (drop) when not supported by the cables IS smaller and the tailgate comes to rest at a less severe tip angle when not supported by the cables; the tailgate mass IS smaller; and the size, payload, and usage characteristcis are less demanding than c/k model vehicles.gm also stated that sonoma and S-10 warranty claim information indicates a lower claim count and a lower claim rate than recalled c/k models.notwithstanding the above information, odi has received an additional 73 non-injury complaints and 10 injury complaints on the subject vehicles during rq04-012 (since november 2004 to date), which justifies opening an engineering analysis to further investigate this issue.
