 93 chev k2500, 5.7l, at. the automatic transmission shift lever locking feature has failed to the point the lever can be inadvertently moved to any position when ever the ignition switch is on. normally you need to pull the lever toward you to shift out of park or into reverse from drive or neutral. persons in the car can now inadvertently brush the lever and shift into and out of gear. no actual incident occurred, but the dealer said they see quite of few of these failed this way. i consider this a safety issue that the manufacture should seriously consider for a recall. *jb

VISIBILITY - WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER
08/01/19991001/01/1993
 Wipers intermittently failed requiring manual instigation to restart; the wiper motor was replaced with a used motor (?year) around 1997; the wiper has again intermittently failed while in use 08/1999; restarting the wipers required either stopping and tugging on the wiper until it started or trying multiple speed changes on the control until it would start usually requiring about 10-30 seconds before stopping to tug at it. i am currently having this looked at again by my mechanic.

 While windshield wipers are activated, they will stop after approximately 10 minutes of operation. it is necessary to stop the veh., get out and manually move the wiper arm to get the wipers to move again. this is dangerous when it is raining because the driver is unable to see out of the windshied due to the accumulitive rain water on the windshield. when it was reported to dealer, they advised that they were aware of the proplem and that it had to do with the windshield wiper motor switch. they advised that it would cost $60. for the unit plus installation. they reported that other owners have experienced the same problem, but there was no recall by the manufacturer. i have contacted the dealer several times since this occasion to ascertain if there is a recall but each time i'm advised that no recall has been issued.
