NHTSA Complaint #750503 — 1994 CHEVROLET S10

WINDSHIELD WIPERS HAD NOT BEEN WORKING ON OCCASION. I WENT TO THE CHEVROLET DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT OTHER CHEVROLET TRUCKS HAD BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS SAME THING, BUT MY TRUCK DID NOT HAVE THE RIGHT VIN NUMBER TO GET IT REPLACED. THEY WANTED SOMETHING LIKE $250 FOR THE SAME THING THAT WAS BROKEN ON ALL THE OTHER CHEVROLET S10. A WIRE IS LOCATED BADLY AND IT BREAKS OR SHORTS OUT OR SOMETHING. I CAN NOT AFFORD THAT. THEN ONE DAY GOING 60 MPH IN A POURING RAIN STORM THEY COMPLETLY SHUT OFF. WE COULD NOT SEE A THING. WE HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WE WERE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING! PER THE SEAT BELTS. THEY LOCK AND WITH EVERY MOVE, OR BREATH THE SEAT BELT TIGHTENS AND CHOKES AND SQUEEZES THE PASSAGER UNTIL YOU HAVE TO TAKE IT OFF, HAND FEED THE SEAT BELT BACK INTO THE HOLDER AND THEN TRY TO REBUCKLE YOUR SELF. THIS IS DANGEROUS WHEN YOU ARE ON THE HIGH WAY OR ANYWHERE FOR THAT MATTER. YOU SHOULD NOT BE CUT INHALF JUST BREATHING IN A SEATBELT. THANK YOU.
