Ifconsumerhitsbrakespassenger seat will move back and forth, andconsumer can get hurt inevent of a crash. Cause unknown. Dealer notified.
My family was involved in a frontal collision in april of 97.we filed a suit with gm and lost because of the comparative law in tn. However, during the law suit we were informed that nhtsa does not or did not require a crash worthiness test on seat back strength on drivers side if loaded during a crash.i am reporting to you that there is a problem with this and we feel that some kind of tests need to be required.during the trial we met several people that complained to nhtsa and to gm about both drivers seatback and passenger seatbacks coming forward in a frontal collision.these silverado extended cab trucks need to be tested or the seats need to be removed and supplemented with the bucket seats that gm subed in during the middle of production.gm was aware of the problem and did comply with the motor vehicle safety standers.i believe that the standers must be revised.the american consumer spends 20,000-$30,000.00 on vehicles and the should feel safe.the extended cab siverado pick-up is a sharp looking vehicle and it keeps value so it is appealing to consumers as it appealed to me. There are several hundreds of vehicles out there between 1987-1992 that have this seatback locking mechanism.please look into this before anyone else gets hurt.mr

Windshield wiper frequently turn off while in use, won't come on at all and sometimes won't turn off. Dangerous when driving in rain/snow. Why are 1992 trucks not covered like 1994 and up? have seen many complaints dating back to 1990. .

Windshield wipers suddenly stopped working. Problem continued to get progressively worse. Replaced the wiper motor with no resolution of problem. Mechanic said the wiper motor controller board (circuit board) could be bad, and that there might be a recall for this part.
When i went to get a state inspection on my truck windshield wiper motor would not engage and the attendant told me these 1992 trucks were well known for the wiper motor not to work, he suggested when it dod not work to hit the wiper motor with a blunt instrument and it would operate.on 10-28-00 we were caught in a rainstorm and the wipers would not come on so we proceeded to hit the wiper motor with a crowbar to make it come on, it worked.i was very grateful that i could pull over to the shoulder of the road to do this manuever.i would hate to be in the hammer lane and not be able to have wipers available to me.the attendant that gave me this info said there is a short in the motor that came from the factory like this. I wanted someone to be aware of this problem, and i figured the dealership would say it was my cost not their's. I would appreciate you looking into this matter and replying as to if i'm the only one expierencing this problem.i paid $20,000 for this truck and this is my only complaint i have about the truck. Thank you very much. Nancy hobaugh.
