| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The stalk for the combination turn signal, windshield wiper, cruise control, broke resulted in unreliable operation of the windshield wipers and unreliable turn singal operation. in the case of the 2001 silverado the windshield wipers activated when the turn signalwas selected. since this same control was used for several critical functions, including turn signals, wipers, and cruise control activation and deactivation, i expect certain failure modes could present a serious safety issue. researching this issue, it seems to be a common problem on this model silverado and other gm vehicles that use the same combination control.*ak |
