Filed Aug 2, 2000TX

THIS VEHICLE HAS A MAJOR DRIVETRAIN VIBRATION PROBLEM @55MPH/2200RPM. THIS MPH/RPM WAS THE INITIAL INDICATOR OF A PROBLEM. OVER THE LAST 700+ MILES THE PROBLEM HAS INCREASED AND IS NOW ALMOST CONTINUALLY PRESENT. ALSO, AT CONSTANT RATES OF SPEED, GENERALLY ABOVE 35MPH, IF YOU ARE DRIVING IN A STRAIGHT LINE FOR OVER ~ A QUATER MILE OR MORE, THE DRIVE TRAIN FEELS LIKE IT IS SHIFTING LATERALLY AND WILL THEN PULL THE VEHICLE SIDEWAYS WHILE YOU CONTINUE TO HOLD THE STEERING WHEEL STRAIGHT. AS YOU MAKE A STEERING CORRECTION IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION OF THE PULL, THE VEHICLE TENDS TO OVER-CORRECT IN THAT DIRECTION. AFTER MANY COMPLAINTS TO THE SHOP FOREMAN, DEALER CUSTOMER SERVICE MANAGER, AND THE SERVICE MANAGER, THE CHEVROLET DEALER HAS REFUSED TO ADDRESS THESE CONCERNS CALLING THEM "ROAD & TIRE NOISE". THIS LAST TIME (7/25/00) THE SHOP FORMAN DISMISSED THE PROBLEM AGAIN AS "HEARD ROAD NOISE AND TIRE VIBRATION" EVEN THOUGH THE REPAIR INVOICE REFLECTED NO CHANGE IN MILAGE DRIVEN (MILAGE IN 1184/MILAGE OUT 1184). THE DEALERSHIP HAS ALSO ATTEMPTED TO DISMISS THE PROBLEMS AS "A BAD TIRE" BUT HAS NEVER EXAMINED THE TIRES FOR BALENCE, ETC. (EACH WHEEL HAS ONE NUT CONTAINING TORQUE-SEAL & NONE OF THE TORQUE-SEAL HAS BEEN DISTURBED). I HAVE ALREADY SENT AN E-MAIL TO THE DEALERS CORPORATE OWNERS (BILL HEARD ENTERPRISES) WITH NO RESPONSE AT ALL. IF THESE PROBLEMS ARE NOT CORRECTED IN THIS VEHICLE IT WILL CERTAINLY RESULT IN A WRECK AND PERSONAL INJURY, IF NOT DEATH. HAS THIS PROBLEM BEEN PR

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
