Complaint history

When NHTSA received these reports. Changes in reporting alone do not establish a change in failure rates.

Problems owners report

Listed groups have at least 3 complaints. The page includes the 20 largest groups plus any additional flagged groups; some complaints are not assigned to a group.

AI groups complaints by meaning; the groups are approximate. Share ratio compares the problem’s share of this vehicle’s complaints with its share on other vehicles over the last 24 months (shown from 3 recent complaints). A 2× ratio means twice the complaint share, not twice the failure risk. Flags mark unusual shares or recent surges after an AI review of the complaint content. “First signal” does not mean the pattern has persisted continuously.How recall estimates are calculated.

Recalls

• NHTSA recall #03V159000April 28, 20031,755,876 vehicles affected

  visibility: windshield wiper/washer

  On certain minivans, pickup trucks, and sport utility vehicles with certain model-engine combinations, the windshield wiper motor may fail due to cracked solder joints on the controller circuit board. The windshield wipers could work intermittently or not at all.

  If this were to occur during bad weather, driver visibility would be reduced, which could result in a crash.

  Remedy

  Dealers will replace the wiper motor circuit board and cover. Owner notification began on june 19, 2003. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact Chevrolet at 1-800-222-1020, Gmc at 1-800-462-8782, or Oldsmobile at 1-800-442-6537.

• NHTSA recall #95V175000September 13, 199569 vehicles affected

  suspension: front: control arm: lower arm

  These vehicles were assembled with the left-hand lower control arm-to-frame rear nut not tightened to the specified torque.

  Low torque Can allow the attachment bolt to loosen and subsequently fatigue and break. This Can result in separation of the left-hand control arm from the frame increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.

  Remedy

  Dealers will tighten the left-hand lower control arm-to- frame rear nut to the proper torque specification.
