CONSUMER PUT VEHICLE IN TO THE DRIVE POSITION, VEHICLE'S ACCELERATOR WENT TO THE FLOOR AND WAS STUCK, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO FISHTAIL UNCONTROLLABLY THROUGH A PARKING LOT AND THEN PROCEEDED INTO AN ALLEY WHERE THE VEHICLE FINALLY STOPPED AFTER CRASHING THROUGH ONE FENCE AND BEING STOPPED AT ANOTHER.

FIRESTONE DEALER STATES THE TIRE IS NOT REPAIRABLE NOR COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTY OR RECALL. THEY OFFERED NO EXPLAINATION OF CAUSE OR SOLUTION OTHER THAN TO BUY NEW TIRES. NOTE, PROBLEM IS THE SAME ON 2 TIRES IN SAME/SIMILAR PLACES .( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 245/75/16 )

RECALL 99I006000/ MANUFACTURER'S RECALL 99046; CONSUMER IS HAVING A BRAKE PROBLEM. CONSUMER HAD RECALL REPAIRS DONE, AND ENGINE CHECK LIGHT KEPT COMING ON. DEALER TOLD CONSUMER TO DRIVE IT HOME BECAUSE THE COMPUTER NEEDED TO BE RESET. CONSUMER THEN FOUND THAT THERE WAS A WIRE LYING ON THE FLOOR. DEALER FORGOT TO RECONNECT IT, AND THAT CAUSED ENGINE CHECK LIGHT TO STAY ON. DEALERS HAD TO PUT BACK THE OLD PART FOR THE BRAKE MODULE INSTEAD OF THE NEW PART BECAUSE CONSUMER HAS TO GET THE HYDRAULIC BRAKES FIXED BEFORE THEY COULD PUT NEW PART IN FOR THE BRAKE MODULE . WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED AFTER LEAVING THE DEALER, THEY WENT STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR & STARTED DOING A UP& DOWN MOTION BEFORE THEY FINALLY STOPPED VEHICLE FROM REARENDING ANOTHER VEHICLE. *AK

UPON MAKING A NORMAL STOP ON WET PAVEMENT BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD CAUSING EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE, RESULTING IN AN ACCIDENT. CONSUMER HAS CONTACTED DEALER, DEALER HAS REPLACED PARTS. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER DETAILS. *AK

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PICKUP TRUCKS, CREW CABS, UTILITY TRUCKS AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES. THESE VEHICLES WERE BUILT WITH THE POLARITY OF THE WIRING FOR THE ZERO ADJUST BRAKE SWITCH REVERSED FROM WHAT WAS SPECIFIED ON THE SWITCH DRAWING. WITH THE REVERSED POLARITY, THE CONTACTS IN THE BRAKE SWITCH CAN WEAR OUT PREMATURELY. THE BRAKE SWITCH WILL PERFORM NORMALLY UNTIL THE BRAKE SWITCH CONTACTS WEAR OUT, RESULTING IN LOSS OF THE BRAKE LAMPS WITHOUT ANY WARNING TO THE DRIVER. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM I HAVE WITH MY VEHICLE. PLUS, THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL NOT SHUT-OFF BECASE THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE NOT TURNED ON WHEN PUSHING DOWN ON THE BRAKE PEDAL.

WHEN MAKING ONLY A RIGHT TURN INTO A PARKING SPACE ABS SYSTEM ACTIVATED FOLLOWED BY TEMPORARY BRAKE FAILURE. THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED AFTER THE ABS COMPUTER SYSTEM WAS REPLACED DUE TO RECALL 99I006000. *AK

EGR VALVE CLEANED AT ONE DEALER, REPLACED AT ANOTHER WITHIN 3 WEEKS. COST OF CLOSE TO $1000 TO DO. *AK

YOUR CAMPAIGN #'S 99V193000 & 99I006000 BOTH LIST A PROBLEM WITH THE ABS SYSTEM THAT SOUND IDENTICAL TO THE PROBLEM I HAVE. WHENEVER I'M BRAKING AND I RUN OVER ANY SLICK SURFACE (FOR INSTANCE: PAINTED CROSSWALK THAT IS WET FROM RAIN) OR HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD WHILE BRAKING MY VEHICLE MAKES A LOUD GRUNTING NOISE AND I LOSE MY BRAKES. I HAVE CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND THE DEALER AND THEY BOTH SAID YOUR CAMPAIGNS DOES NOT COVER MY VEHICLE, WHY NOT? MY PROBLEM SOUNDS EXACTLEY LIKE THE DESCRIPTION YOU GAVE ON THIS WEB SITE. IN ADDITION TO THIS PROBLEM I HAVE ANOTHER, THAT MAY BE RELATED TO THE FIRST PROBLEM. I HAVE PUT NEW BRAKES ON MY VEHICLE AND DRIVEN APPROX. 3-6000 MI. AND RETURNED TO THE BRAKE SHOP COMPLAINING ABOUT THE FIRST PROBLEM ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT MY BRAND NEW BRAKES ARE SHOT. SOME HOW THIS VEHICLE EATS BRAKE PADS. I BELEIVE IT TO BE RELATED TO THE MALFUNCTIONING ABS SYSTEM. *AK

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE WOULD BE MISSING/BACKFIRING AND BLOWING BLACK SMOKE. WENT TO EMISSION CONTROL INSPECTION, AND VEHICLE DIDN'T PASS. ALSO, FUEL INJECTION LINE IN THROTTLE BODY WAS A PLASTIC LINE AND IT SPLIT. FILLED UP FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM WITH GASOLINE. IF THERE WAS A SPARK, VEHICLE WOULD CATCH ON FIRE. IN ADDITION, REPLACED CATALYTIC CONVERTER/O2 SENSOR/ RADIATOR CAP/ BRAKE ROTORS, AND THROTTLE BODY AIR VALVE. HOWEVER, VEHICLE WAS STILL EXHIBITING THE SAME PROBLEM. CONTACTED DEALER . *AK

NO SUMMARY LISTED FOR ABOVE VEHICLE. *AK

I HAVE REPLACED THE EGR VALVE 3 TIMES ON THIS VEHICLE. I AM HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE VEHICLE RUNNING ROUGH. I WAS TOLD I HAVE ALOT OF CARBON BUILDUP AROUND THE EGR PORTS AND THIS IS BREAKING/FLAKING OFF. THE DEALER SAID THEY WOULD HAVE TO TAKE THE CYLINDER HEADS AND INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET AND SUBMERGE IN A HOT TANK OF ACID TO CLEAN THE CARBON OFF THESE PARTS. THE REPAIR QUOTE WAS $1600.00 AND THERE WAS NO QUARANTEE HOW LONG THIS WOULD TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEMS I AM HAVING WITH THIS VEHICLE.

CONSUMER WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 35MPH AND THERE WAS A LIGHT AT THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL. CAR IN FRONT OF CONSUMER DIDN'T TAKE THE LIGHT SERIOUSLY SINCE IT EMPHASIZED CAUTION . CONSUMER APPLIED BRAKES AND THE ABS BRAKES DIDN'T KICK IN AT ALL. CONSUMER HIT VEHICLE IN FRONT. *AK

EGR VALVE REPARIED SEVERAL TIMES ALSO, . FUEL PUMP REPLACED. *AK

THE VEHICLE STALLED ON THE HIGHWAY SEVERAL TIMES DUE TO FUEL INJECTION PUMP FAILURE. YH

WHEN DRIVING AND UPON MAKING GRAUDAL STOP, BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD, CAUSING EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. CONSUMER NOTED THAT RECALL 99I006000 DEALT WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. BUT, PARTS WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL LATER THIS YEAR. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER DETAILS. *AK

AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS EGR VALVE GOES OUT, CAUSING LOSS OF BRAKE POWER. DEALER HAS REPAIRED VEHICLE. *AK

THE LAP BELT BECOMES FRAYED AT ENTRY POINT INTO SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY. I LOOKED FOR A REPLACEMENT AT SEVERAL SALVAGE YARDS AND ALL OF THE 2 DOOR S-10 BLAZERS HAD THIS DEFECT.*AK

SEAT BELT WON'T RETRACT. THIS IS MY 3RD FULL SIZE GM TRUCK SINCE 1989 THAT HAS THE SAME TYPE OF PROBLEM. THIS ONE IS WORSE BECAUSE IT WON'T RETRACT AT ALL. *AK

DUE TO CRACKS AND RUST IN THE SEAMS OF THE FUEL TANK, LEAKAGE OCCURS. DEALERSHIP ADVISED THAT THIS IS A COMMON OCCURENCE. *AK *ML

WHILE USING WINDSHIELD WIPERS THEY WOULD WORK INTERMITTENTLY. DLR HAS BEEN NOTIFIED. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION. *AK

WHILE DEPRESSING BRAKES VEHICLE WOULD CONTINUE TO TRAVEL ALSO PULSATES. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION. *AK

ON NUMEROUS OCCASSIONS THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES HAVE FAILED, FAILURE HAS ALMOST RESULTED IN TWO ACCIDENTS.*ET

WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 20 MPH WOULD STEP ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP VEHICLE OR REDUCE SPEED, BUT IT WILL RESULT IN EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. *AK

GMC MADE A POLICY ADJUSTMENT TO 100,000 MILES. MINE FAILED AT 102,000. A FRIEND'S INJECTOR FAILED AT 66,000 AND ANOTHER AT 105,000. *AK

VEHICLE BRAKING HAS SEEMED TO BE UNPREDICTABLE. ABS WILL SEEM TO TAKE OVER WHEN UNNECESSARY UNDER NORMAL BRAKING SITUATIONS CAUSING UNEXPECTED EXTENDED BRAKING DISTANCE. WE WERE INFORMALLY TOLD BY SEVERAL MECHANICS THAT THAT IS JUST HOW ABS IS SO WE ASSUMED THAT IT WAS JUST A POOR DESIGN NOT COVERED BY ANY WARRANTIES FOR THE SECOND OWNER SO WE DID NOT PURSUE IT FURTHER. IN ADDITION, WE HAD A ROUGH RUNNING CONDITION THAT WAS DIAGNOSED AS THE EGR VALVE CLOGGED WITH CARBON DEPOSITS. THE ENGINE IDLED ROUGH, HAD A STRONG ODOR AND HAD INTERMITTENT BRAKE FAILURE (HARD PEDAL) CAUSING IT TO BE VERY DIFFICULT TO STOP. WE HAD THE ENGINE "MOTORVAC'D" TO CLEAR CARBON DEPOSITS AND HAD THE EGR CLEANED. IT RAN WELL FOR ABOUT A WEEK THEN BACK TO THE SAME SYMTOMS. WE WERE TOLD IT WOULD JUST RUIN A NEW EGR IF WE REPLACED IT AGAIN SO WE HAVE NOT DETERMINED WHAT TO DO WITH IT. ALSO THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF THROUGHOUT THESE EPISODES

RIGHT FRONT WHEEL HUB ANTI LOCK BRAKE SENSOR FAILED. THIS RESULTED IN THE VEHICLE HAVING NO BRAKES AND ON TWO OCCASIONS NOT BEING ABLE TO STOP AT/FOR STOP SIGNS WITH NEAR MISSES EACH TIME. AS THE BRAKES DID NOT ENGAGE THE DEALERS AT FIRST THOUGHT THAT THE CRUSE CONTROL WAS NOT DISINGAGING WHEN THE BRAKE WAS DEPRESSED AND THAT THIS RESULTED IN THE CAR DRIVING ITSELF THRU THE BRAKES. BUT A COMPUTER DIAGNOSTIC CHECK REVEALED THAT THE ANTI ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SENSOR WAS EXPERIANCING INTERMITTENT FAILURES AND THAT THIS WAS WHY THE BRAKES WERE NOT WORKING. DEALER MECHANICS TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD NO SERVICE BULLETINS FOR THIS TYPE OF FAILURE. THEY ALSO SAID THAT WHEN THE ANTI LOCK BRAKES FAIL THE VEHICLE SHOULD STILL BRAKE SAFELY WITH STANDARD BRAKE SYSTEM. BUT IN THIS CASE THE DEFECTIVE SENSOR WAS CAUSING THE SYSTEM TO NOT BRAKE AT ALL. *AK

WHILE DRIVING OR PARKING CONSUMER NOTICED THAT FUEL TANK WAS LEAKING. CONTACTED DEALERSHIP & TOOK VEHICLE TO MECHANIC. WAS INFORMED THERE WAS RUST ON TOP OF LID DUE TO ROAD SALT & CORROSION. *AK
