The seat frame broke around the main bolt holding the seat to the body bracket, metal did not seem strong enough to hold a average male driver. This is the first time I have ever complained, and I have had numerous chevy trucks.
While driving about between 35-40 MPH the frame that supports the driver's seat broke. The seat has not been repaired. The dealer has been notified about the seat. Owner is not able to repair at this time.
Windshield wipers do not work sometimes and do at other times. Recently, in a heavy rain on the highway the windshield wipers did not come on when activated. After a minute or two they sometimes come on. Other times they may work perfectly. The chevrolet dealership said there was a recall for my year model and a common problem for this vehicle but my model did not qualify for the repair due to VIN.
While driving on I-95 in my 1994 chevrolet c2500 with the 6.5 l naturally aspirated diesel, my truck suddenly stalled and I lost all my engine powered components (power steering, brakes, etc.) I pushed on the brake pedal very hard but was barely slowing down. I finally got the truck slowed down enough to get off on the shoulder of the freeway. I then had to sit there for 30 minutes to allow the pump mounted driver to cool down before I could turn around and garage my vehicle.
