Silverado 3500

  • 48,000 miles
Windshield wipers will not work at times. When they do start working, they will not go off unless fuse is pulled. This is a serious safety issue. Recall should be done !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

problem #2

Nov 202007

Silverado 3500 8-cyl

  • 49,000 miles
The windshield wipers will not turn off at times, causing me to pull over and remove the fuse for w/S wipers. Afterwards, as I continue driving and it starts raining again or I get splashed by another driver, my visibility is greatly diminished to a point to where safety is of "grave" concern. It is getting to the point to where it is happening too much.

problem #1

Oct 152003

Silverado 3500

  • Automatic transmission
  • 10,140 miles
Constant wind noise from hood hinge flaps and top windshield seal at 50 and above. Also driver door seal squeals. I repaired the flapping noises myself after the dealer tried 6 times and said it was my bug deflector. The door seal was replaced after 6 trips and is worse now than then. I repaired this as well as I could. They replaced 1 of 3 seals. After 6 visits for my Goodyear tires (nothing found wrong again) they decide to replace them. It took 2 weeks to get tires and then they replaced 2. the trans is clunker and has computer software issues causing shifting problems and dealer can not duplicate. The computer thinks it is ok so no codes will be stored. I also pointed out the GM tsb's to them on this problem. I may as well go to the zoo for service at least I get to expect poor service from wild animals. I wrote the vp of GM and he responded to me and forwarded my letter to vp of sales and service. Went back for repairs and still have same problems and the new tires with 1000 miles are bad just like the others. $38,000 piece of junk with $3 hr monkeys repairing it. What a joke, they can have this truck back since there is nothing wrong with it. I was also refused service two times by my local dealer because I bought it else where. Service manager said: "you are not our loyal customer and if we decide to service you, you go behind our loyal customers, reguardless of order". I think he may be looking for other employment now that the vp called me to discuss my concerns, but that is still against the law and the GM contract. Think I am going to just get a horse and when it stops working just shoot it.
