Consumer Description

AS DESCRIBED IN THE WINDSHIELD MOTOR FAILURE ISSUES CONCERNING THE 94 TO 97 CHEVROLET PICKUP TRUCK MODELS, MY 1998 SILVERADO EXTENDED CAB IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME EXACT DEFECT. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW MANY FAILURES IT HAS HAD BECAUSE IT IS A CONSISTENT PROBLEM. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE APRIL OF 2003 AND HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. I ALMOST TOTALED OUT MY TRUCK IN DALLAS BACK IN OCTOBER DURING A RAINSTORM DUE TO SYSTEM FAILURE. THEY PRETTY MUCH WORK WHEN THEY WANT TO. AND ITS USUALLY NOT WHEN I NEED THEM. SAME PART AS IN 97 ISSUES, SAME PROBLEM, BUT NO RECALL OR REPLACEMENT. REALLY MAKES ME WANT TO BUY ANOTHER CHEVY TRUCK!!! YEAH RIGHT!!!
