1994 Chevrolet Suburban

1994 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN WIPER MOTORS FAIL AND WORK INTERMITTENTLY AND STOP WHILE DRIVING CREATING VERY DANGEROUS CONDITIONS. IS LISTED AS RECALL ON NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 03V15900 AND 98V150001 ON YOUR WEB SITE. WE CALLED CHEVROLET ON 800-222-1020 AND WERE TOLD THIS IS NOT A RECALL ITEM AFTER SEVEN YEARS. THE RECALL WAS NOT ISSUED UNTIL 07/01/98 AND 04/28/03 - THAT MAKES THE RECALL NOTICE PAST THE SEVEN YEAR CHEVROLET POLICY.

WINDSHIELD MOTOR WORKS INTERMITTENTLY. THIS WAS REPORTED TO URKA CHEVROLET IN LUDINGTON MI AND THEY STATED OUR 1994 SUBURBAN WAS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL AND TOLD US TO CALL CHEVROLET. SAME STORY WITH THEM. I WAS TRAVELLING FROM FORT LEAVENWORTH, KS TO CUSTER MI DURING EASTER 2005 THE WIPERS QUIT WORKING WHILE TRAVELLING ALONG AT APPROX. 65MPH. NO ACCIDENT, BUT SCARY TO PULL OVER ON HIGHWAY AT NITE CAUSE OF LACK OF VISION. *AK

WINDSHIELD WIPERS WORK THAN STOP. I WIGGLE WIRE CONNECTOR TO MOTOR THAN THEY WILL WORK FOR A SHORT PERIOD. IF I AM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, THEY WILL STOP WORKING AND SOMETIMES START WORKING AGAIN. I FOUND OUT THAT 1994 SUBURBAN 4X4 ARE NOT ON THE RECALL LIST FOR THE CARD THAT HAS A FAULTY SOLDER. I HAVE ALSO REPLACED MY DRIVERS SIDE CALIPER 4 TIMES SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE IN JANUARY 2003. I ALSO REPLACED THE BRAKE HOSE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. THE CALIPERS SEEMED TO GET STUCK AND WOULD NOT RELEASE. *JB

I HAVE HAD TWO ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE: 1. WINDSHEILD WIPER INTERMITTENT FAILURE. THIS STARTED TO HAPPEN AFTER THE WARRANTY PERIOD EXPIRED. I WAS INFORMED BY A CHEVROLET DEALER THAT THE RECALL(S) ISSUED THAT MATCH THIS BEHAVIOR EXACTLY DO NOT APPLY TO MY VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THE RECALL SHOULD INCLUDE MY 1994 CHEV. SUBURBAN C-1500 VEHICLE, AS IT CLEARLY DEMONSTRATES THIS EXACT INTERMITTENT BEHAVIOR. BEYOND INQUIRING RECENTLY WITH MY LOCAL DEALER, NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE. 2. POOR ABS BRAKE PERFORMANCE. THIS SYMPTOM HAS EXISTED SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NEW. I COMPLAINED SEVERAL TIMES, BUT NO PROBLEMS WERE FOUND AT THE TIME OF COMPLAINTS AT THE DEALERSHIP. I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYMPTOM, BUT I HAVE NOT YET INQUIRED WITH MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THE ISSUE CAN BE CORRECTED. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL "NEAR MISSES" WHEN HAVING TO STOP SUDDENLY AND ALMOST HITTING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME DUE TO POOR ABS PERFORMANCE AND INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCE.*AK

OWN A 1994 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN, WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED DUE TO CIRCUIT BOARD AND NTSB IDENTIFIED IN NTSB #03V159000. CHEVY WOULD NOT HONOR SAID MY S/N ON VEHCILE WAS 3,000 UNITS SHORT OF RECALL. MECHANIC SAID EXACT SAME PROBLEMS FOUND IN ALL 94'S. TOTAL COST WAS 110.00 ALL CHEVY WOULD SAY WAS SORRY, SEEM LIKE THAT PARTICULAR PART WAS USED IN ALL 94 AND IT SHOULD BE COVERED FOR SAFETY REASONS. WAS NEVER NOTIFED OF A PROBLEM AND THEY WENT OUT ON US 95 AT NIGHT IN A RAIN STORM. RECALL DID NOT COVER ALL PROBLEM VEHICLES. *AK
