2000 Chevrolet Silverado Visibility & Wipers Problems

BOTH OF THE WINDOWS IN MY 2000 CHEVY SILVERADO WILL NOT WORK. THIS COULD RESULT IN FAILURE TO BE ABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY. AND THE TAILGATE WILL NOT STAY UP. *TR

PASSENGER WINDOW JUST STOPPED GOING UP ,MOTOR SOUNDS LIKE IT STILL WORKS BUT WINDOW WILL NOT MOVE .I THINK IT IS THE CABLE INSIDE ON THE PULLEY.*CN

2000 TAHOE: REAR HATCH WINDOW HINGE BROKE. IT IS MADE OF PLASTIC...PRETTY SHODDY FOR A 4W DRIVE VEHICLE. I HAVE ONLY OPENED THAT WINDOW 5-6 TIMES SINCE 2002, SO IT DEFINITELY WAS NOT ABUSED. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW...WOULD LIKE GM TO REIMBURSE ME FOR THE $600 WINDOW PLUS HINGES (THE CHEVY DEALER QUOTED $1300.) *JB

BOTH EXTENDED CAB WINDOW SEALS LEAK, WHICH HAS MADE THE WINDOWS SUBJECT TO FALLING OUT AND BREAKING *JB

WINDOW STOPPED WORKING. CABLE BROKE FROM POWER WINDOW REGULATORY ASSEMBLY. REPLACED PARTS. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE PASSENGER SIDE POWER WINDOW WORKS INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES AND REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE, INCLUDING REPLACING THE MOTOR. THE REPAIRS HAVE NOT CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALERTED.

NO INCIDENT..,HOWEVER WHILE IN ALASKA IN 2005. I WAS TOLD BY A STATE TROOPER THAT MY VEHICLE SIDE MIRRORS DO NOT MEET DOT STANDARDS, THEY ARE TOO SMALL TO PROPERLY VIEW THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE: 2000 CK3500, CREW CAB, 4X4, DUEL REAR WHEELS..,PULLING A 29' TRAVEL TRAILER. THE TROOPER IS RIGHT, MY MIRRORS DON'T EVEN VIEW BEYOND THE REAR FENDERS MUCH LESS THE TRAILER. MY QUESTION IS; HOW CAN THE VEHICLE INDUSTRY PUT A PRODUCT ON SALE IF IT DOES NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS IT WAS MADE TO DO? NOBODY BUYS A VEHICLE AS DESCRIBED WITHOUT USING IT TO PULL SOMETHING AND THE VEHICLE SHOULD MEET THOSE REQUIREMENTS PER THE STANDARDS SET BY DOT NATIONALLY AND BY STATES. *TR

ROLLED DOWN PASSENGER WINDOW TO TALK TO NEIGHBOR, WINDOW WOULD NOT GO BACK UP - BECAME INOPERABLE. HAD TO TAKE APART DOOR AND FORCE WINDOW UP AFTER MAJOR SNOW STORM. HAVE NOT REPLACED AT THIS TIME.

LEFT FRONT POWER WINDOW STOPPED WORKING IN THE DOWN POSITION.. DOOR HAD TO TAKEN APART IN THE RAIN AND WINDOW PUSHED UP TO CLOSE. DRIVER'S WINDOW MOTOR AND REGULATOR ASSEMBLY REPLACED.

1999-2005 CHEVROLET AND GMC SILVERADO STYLE EXTENDED CAB PICKUP TRUCKS. REAR VENT WINDOWS HAVE A SERIOUS PINCHING HAZARD FOR CHILDREN OR ADULTS WITH SMALL FINGERS. THE LATCHES WHICH OPEN THE VENT WINDOWS HAVE A CAM LATCH THAT WHEN CLOSING THE WINDOW,CREATES A PINCHING HAZARD. THE LATCH FLIPS THROUGH A SCISSORS MOTION WHEN CLOSING , THE OUTSIDE OF THE LATCH FLIPS INSIDE OF THE BOTTOM PART(IN BETWEEN IT). THE HAZARD SEEMS TO BE A MAGNET FOR CHILDRENS FINGERS AS BOTH OF MY CHILDREN HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY PINCHED SEVERAL TIMES. WHEN THE FINGER IS PINCHED IN THE LATCH IT IS PRESSED ON BY THE OUTSIDE FORCE OF THE WIND DETERMEND BY THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE(PINCHING IT EVEN WORSE), MY CHILDREN HAD TO PUSH OUT ON THE WINDOW TO RELEASE THEIR FINGER FROM THE LATCH WHEN PINCHED. *AK

THE PRESSURE LINE FROM THE RESERVOIR HAS A HOLE WHERE THE LINE PASSED NEAR/BEHIND THE BATTERY. IT APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN BURNED OR EATEN AWAY FROM TOUCHING BATTERY. *BF WHILE DRIVING THROUGH A STORM THE WINDSHIELD WASHER HAD BECOME INOPERATIVE. THE CONSUMER ALSO DISCOVERED THAT WHEN THE WASHER WAS ENGAGED, IT WOULD SPRAY WASHER FLUID ALL OVER THE BATTERY. *SC *JB

The contact owns a 1995 N/A Chevrolet GMT-400. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 03V159000 (VISIBILITY); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was contacted. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

RIGHT WINDOW WENT DOWN AND NEVER WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT CLOSE. UPON TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR I WAS INFORMED THAT PART #15095844 REGULATOR FAILED. THIS WINDOW WAS NEVER HARDLY USED. MILAGE IS NOT A FACTOR BUT DEALER WOULD NOT REPLACE IT. HAVE CONTACTED GM AND THEY SO MUCH AS TOLD ME TO GO AWAY THEY CAN NOT HELP. TALKING TO THE PARTS DEPT. THEY SAID THAT THEY ARE SEEING MORE OF THESE REGULATORS FAILING. DT

WHILE DEFROSTING FRONT WINDSHIELD, A LARGE CRACK APPEARED ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD. DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED AT THIS TIME. *AK *JB

THE HEATER DOES NOT DISTRIBUTE ADEQUATE AMOUNTS OF HEAT INTO THE PASSENGER'S FOOTWELL. WITH THE HEATER AT MAX. TEMP AND AIRFLOW AND THE FLOW ALL DIRECTED TO THE FLOOR, THE DRIVER WAS BAKING BUT THE PASSENGER'S FEET NEEDED A BLANKET WRAPPED AROUND THEM TO KEEP THEM SOMEWHAT COMFORTABLE WITH OUTSIDE TEMPERATURES IN THE THE 12 DEGREE AREA. THIS WENT ON FROM COLORADO TO TENNESSEE AND BACK OVER CHRISTMAS. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. THE DEALER CONTACTED GM'S TECH. SUPPORT, THE TRUCK WAS CHECKED; "THE HEATER IS PERFORMING TO SPECS."!!!! NOW I'M TOLD TO KEEP WORKING WITH THE DEALER. WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO KEEP WORKING WITH SINCE THEY'VE BEEN TOLD BY GM THAT EVERYTHING IS OK? GM'S CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE NOTES THAT THERE IS A GM "POOR HEATER PERFORMANCE REVIEW" CURRENTLY GOING ON WITHIN GM BUT OFFERS NO OTHER HOPE OF A SOLUTION. THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING AND REAL COLD ON LONG TRIPS WHEN I SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET COMFORTABLE. PLEASE LIGHT A FIRE UNDER GM SINCE I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO.*AK

LEFT REARVIEW MIRROR HAS VIBRATION. *AK

PASSENGER'S SIDE WINDOW WAS DOWN A THIRD. DOG STUCK HEAD OUTSIDE OF THE WINDOW, WINDOW WENT UP, AND DOG'S NECK ALMOST GOT CAUGHT INSIDE OF THE WINDOW. COMPLAINT FROM THE CONSUMER SAID THAT THE TAHOE HAD A LOCK OUT BOTTOM TOO CLOSE THAT LOCKED THE WINDOWS. *AK
