MY WIFE AND I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE SINCE 1996. WE BOUGHT IT USED WITH 18,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE ALWAYS HAD TROUBLE HEARING NOISES AND TROUBLE WITH A SOFT BRAKE PEDAL ON THIS VEHICLE. WHEN THE CAR HAD ABOUT 40,000 MILES ON IT, I HAD AN INCIDENT WHERE I APPLIED THE BRAKES GOING ABOUT 55 MILES PER HOUR TO SLOW DOWN TO GET ON THE EXPRESSWAY AND BOTH REAR WHEEL CYLINDERS BLEW OUT ON ME ALMOST CAUSING A SEVERE ACCIDENT. SINCE THE VEHICLE TURNED OVER PAST 60,000 MILES, I HAVE HAD AT LEAST THREE INCIDENTS WHERE ACCIDENTS ALMOST OCCURRED DUE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL GOING ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR ON ME AND I WAS UNABLE TO STOP. TWICE THIS HAS HAPPENED AFTER GETTING BRAND NEW BRAKES DONE ALL THE WAY AROUND, ONCE AT THE DEALER AND ONCE AT A MIDAS MUFFLER SHOP. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS MALFUNCTION IN THE ABS SYSTEM. I WILL CONTACT THE DEALER TOMORROW, SINCE IT JUST HAPPENED AGAIN. DT
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.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: 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.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: LIGHT DUTY PICKUP TRUCKS AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, 2 AND 4-WHEEL DRIVE. SOLDER JOINTS NEAR THE WIRING HARNESS CONNECTOR CAN CRACK CAUSING THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS TO WORK INTERMITTENTLY.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS CONDITION CAN RESULT IN INOPERATIVE WIPERS, REDUCING A DRIVER'S VISIBILITY, AND INCREASING THE RISK OF A VEHICLE CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE WIPER MOTOR CIRCUIT BOARD AND COVER.
