THE TRUCK WAS MAKING A CLUCK DURING LEFT TURNS FROM THE DRIVERS FRONT TIRE, I TOOK IT TO SEARS FOR INSPECTION AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS BUT DID SAY THAT THE BALL JOINTS (ALL FOUR) WERE GOING BAD AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT SOON. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHERE PURCHASED FOR ANOTHER INSPECTION AND THEY SAID THE SOUND WAS DUE TO THE BALL JOINTS (COST TO REPLACE=$700). I HAD THE BALL JOINTS REPLACED...THE TRUCK STILL MAKES THE SOUND AND IN ADDITION, NOW MAKES THE CLUCK WHEN TURNING RIGHT IN ADDITION TO LEFT. AT THE SAME TIME, I HAD THE MECHANICS INSPECT THE DRIVE TRAIN DUE TO A GRINDING SOUND THAT IS GETTING WORSE AND CHANGES WITH SPEED. THEY DETERMINED THAT THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL IS BAD AND WILL NEED TO BE REBUILT/REPLACED IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE (AT A COST OF ABOUT $1000).*AK

THE SPEED CONTROL MODULE TURNED ON BY ITSELF, AND THE THROTTLE OPENED WIDE. PRESSING DOWN ON THE BRAKE DID NOT RELEASE THE SPEED CONTROL. I WAS FORCED TO THROW THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL (WHICH RED-LINED THE MOTOR AT ABOUT 4,500 RPM) AND SHUT IT OFF. ONLY ON THE THIRD RESTART OF THE MOTOR DID THE MODULE RELEASE. I WAS TRAVELING AT ABOUT 50 MPH, AND BEGAN TO ACCELERATE TO GO UP A SMALL HILL. THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS NOT ON WHEN THIS PROBLEM OCCURED. THE OTHER PROBLEM CONCERNS THE EGR VALVE. IN LATE 1999, I TOOK THE CAR TO A LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER BECAUSE IT WAS RUNNING ROUGH. THEY ANALYZED IT AS A STUCK EGR VALVE, AND CLEANED IT. TWO MONTHS LATER, I GET A LETTER FROM CHEVROLET (NOT A RECALL NOTICE) STATING THAT MY CAR MAY HAVE AN EGR PROBLEM. I HAD TO TAKE THE CAR BACK A FEW MONTHS LATER, AND ASKED FOR A NEW VALVE TO BE INSTALLED. THEY REFUSED, AS THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT BE REIMBURSED BY GM ANYMORE. SINCE THAT TIME, THE SAME PROBLEM HAS MANIFESTED ITSELF 4 TIMES, AND EACH TIME, THE DEALER MAINTAINS IT ISN'T THE EGR VALVE. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS PURE DECEPTION ON THE PART OF THE DEALER, AND THE NTSA SHOULD FORCE GM TO REPLACE THE EGR VALVES ASAP. THE CAR WANTS TO DIE IN TRAFFIC WHEN THIS PROBLEM APPEARS, WHICH IS SPORADIC AND UNPREDICATABLE.

MY 1995 CHEVROLET BLAZER WAS IN A HEAD ON COLLISION WITH A 4 FOOT TALL CEMENT FLOWER POT. MY BLAZER WAS GOING APPROX. 25 MILES PER HOUR AT IMPACT AND MADE CONTACT WITH THE FLOWER POT DIRECTLY IN THE CENTER OF THE CAR. THE DAMAGE INCLUDED PUSHING THE BUMPER, GRILL, AND RADIATOR BACK INTO THE FAN AND ALSO BUCKLING THE HOOD. THE INSURANCE COMPANY TOTALED MY VEHICLE, ESTIMATING ABOUT $7800. WORTH OF DAMAGE. THE AIRBAG NEVER DEPLOYED. I CONTACTED CHEVROLET ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY "IN THEIR OPINION THE AIRBAG WAS NOT DEFECTIVE BECAUSE THE CAR DID NOT COME TO AN ABRUPT STOP". MY QUESTION IS HOW WOULD THEY KNOW WHAT HAPPENED IF THEY NEVER ASKED HOW MUCH DAMAGE THERE WAS OR LOOKED AT THE CAR OR EVEN ASKED ME TO SEND THEM PICTURES OF THE CAR? I THINK THEY JUST COULDN'T EVEN BE BOTHERED. IF THE DRIVER HADN'T BEEN BELTED IN, SHE SURELY WOULD HAVE HIT THE WINDSHIELD.*AK
