| I own a 1998 chevrolet camero which i purchased new. since i have owned this vehicle the cabling system that manually controls the driver's side mirror has broken 4 times. the previous 3 times it was repaired under warrenty. from what i understand they had to replace the entire mirror each time. the cable has broke again and now is no longer under warrenty. i don't know how much of a problem this has been in other similar vehicles. when the cable breaks the mirror moves inward out of adjstment and cannot be set by any other means. not having a functional driver's side mirror is extremely dangerous. *ak | |||

| Twice under warranty windshield wipers failed to come on and the dealer (different from where i bought the car) replaced the wiper motor. the repair lasted approx. 1 year before the next failure. now that the warranty is over all of a sudden it's the switch and will cost me $275.00. the same symptoms each time- wipers would not operate until put on full or by pushing the mist control first.*ak | |||

| While traveling on the freeway with windshield wipers on the second highest setting, the passenger-side windshield wiper arm broke in half. the wiper assembly slid up the windshield, flew over the top of my car, and landed in the middle of the freeway. fortunately, the only driver behind me was several hundred yards away. *ak | |||
