NHTSA Complaint #10110762 — 2003 CHEVROLET AVALANCHE

WINDSHELD WIPERS WILL NOT RESPOND TO SWITCH. I'VE BEEN TOLD BY GM SERVICE MANAGERS THAT GM GOT A BATCH OF BAD MOTORS. I'VE TRIED THE 800-222-1020 NUMBER AND WAS TOLD TOUGH OUT OF WARRENTY. MY STEERING COLUMN HAS A CLICKING VIBREATING NOISE AND FEEL WHEN TURNING. I'M TOLD AGAIN BY THE SERVICE MGRS. THAT A NUMBER OF GM PRODUCTS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM BUT IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE."IT'S A LUBERCATION PROBLUM CAUSING THE NOISE AND AGAIN TOUGH. THE WIPER MOTOR COSTS $325.00 AND THE STEERING COLUMN ANOTHER $300.00. MY CAR IS 2 YEARS OLD WITH 93000 MI. THE SPARK PLUGS ARE SUPPOST TO LAST 100,000. WHY IS EVERY THING ELSE FALLING APART? I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD SEND ME A LOYAL CUSTOMER DISCOUNT FOR A NEW GM NO WAY. I'LL BUY A TOYOTA TUNDRA NEXT TIME IF I CAN'T GET SOME RESTITUTION FROM GM. *AK
