The contact owns a 1995 Chevrolet G20. The contact stated while driving approximately 55 MPH, the windshield wipers failed to operate as needed. The contact stated that the failure recurred several times. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 168,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1995 CHEVROLET G20. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE BRAKES FAILED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE BY ENGAGING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

TRAVELING STRAIGHT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (65MPH), ON A VERY SMOOTH HIGHWAY, A LOUD POP WAS HEARD AND MY FRONT END DRIVER'S SIDE SUSPENSION COLLAPSED. I VEERED LEFT, STARTED TO ROLL, AND WAS RIGHTED BY A TOYOTA TACOMA IN THE LANE TO MY LEFT. THE TACOMA PROCEEDED TO WRAP AROUND THE FRONT OF MY VEHICLE COLLIDING WITH A VEHICLE IN THE LANE TO MY RIGHT. TWO VEHICLES WERE TOTALED AND THE DRIVER OF THE TACOMA SUSTAINED INJURIES. THE RECENTLY INSTALLED SUSPENSION (MOOG COMPONENTS, INSTALLED BY FIRESTONE) HAD TWICE BEEN INSPECTED BY FIRESTONE IN THE PREVIOUS 6,000 MILES. (SUSPENSION INSTALLED 10,000 MILES PRIOR TO ACCIDENT, INSPECTED 6,000 AND 3,000 MILES PRIOR TO ACCIDENT BECAUSE I NOTED TO FIRESTONE OBSERVED EXCESSIVE TIRE WEAR AND A SUSPENSION CLUNKING NOISE). THE PATROLMAN ON SCENE DID NOT CITE ME BECAUSE HE OBSERVED THE OTHERWISE BROKEN SUSPENSION WAS OF NEW, RECENTLY INSTALLED CONDITION. A LOWER BALL JOINT FAILURE APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN THE CAUSE. GIVEN THE SEVERITY OF THE ACCIDENT I REQUESTED ALL FAILED SUSPENSION COMPONENTS BE PLACED IN MY VEHICLE. WHEN I ARRIVED TO PICK UP THE VEHICLE I WAS INFORMED THESE PARTS WERE DISCARDED. TWO DAYS AFTER I PICKED UP THE VEHICLE I FORMALLY REQUESTED FIRESTONE ADDRESS A SERIES OF SUSPENSION CONCERNS I HAD, ONE YEAR LATER, NO RESPONSE ON ANY CONCERN. 500 MILES AFTER THE SUSPENSION RE-REPAIR, I ONCE AGAIN WAS EXPERIENCING A CLUNKING NOISE AND ANOTHER FIRESTONE RETAIL CENTER DETERMINED ALIGNMENT SHIMS WERE MISSING, AND ON REPLACEMENT THE CLUNKING NO

THIS COMPLAINT ADDS PDF ATTACHMENTS THAT I FAILED TO FILE 10 MINUTES AGO BECAUSE I MISUNDERSTOOD PROCESS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1995 CHEVROLET G20. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 20 MPH AND APPLIED THE BRAKES WHEN THE PEDAL DEPRESSED TO THE FLOORBOARD ABNORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS MANEUVERED TO THE SHOULDER AND COASTED TO A STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S HOME WHERE AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC EXAMINED THE VEHICLE BUT WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT ALSO FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 62,173. THE PLUNGER IN THE MASTER CYCLINDER WAS INCAPABLE OF PROPELLING THE BRAKE FLUID THROUGH THE LINES AND THE BRAKE CYCLINDERS COULD NOT EXPAND. VEHICLE HAS STOP BECAUSE OF TRANSMISSION. FAILURE DURING DOWN GRADE. VEHICLE PICKED UP SPEED WHEN TRANSMISSION WAS USED TO STOP ITS FORWARD PROGRESS. UPDATED 11/09/2011 *LN *TR

DT: THE CONTACT STATED ONE MONTH AGO HE NOTICED A BRAKE PROBLEM. WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKE AT ANY SPEED THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND THERE WERE NO BRAKES. JUST AS HE WAS PRESSING THE PEDAL THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER HE WAS OFF OF THE PEDAL THE LIGHT DISAPPEARED. HE THE CONTACT CITED RECALL 99I006000. HE CALLED THE MANUFACTURER, AND THEY TOLD HIM THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DUE TO VIN. *AK

WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED INTERMITTENTLY DUE TO WIRING HARNESS CONNECTOR MALFUNCTIONING. RECALL 98V15001 WAS ISSUED, HOWEVER, THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DUE TO VIN. *AK

FRONT END- WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES THE ENTIRE FRONT END SHIMMIES AND VIBRATES MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO CONTROL THE VAN. WE HAVE ONLY OWNED THIS VAN FOR LESS THAN 2 YEARS BUT THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEMS DOES NOT OPERATE PROPERLY. DOOR HINGES PREVIOUSLY REPLACE WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY NO LONGER OPERATE PROPERLY THEY ARE EITHER BROKEN OR STUCK. SEAT BELTS ARE TWISTED OR FAIL TO RETRACT. FRONT DOORS HAVE SHIFTED DOWNWARD. REAR POWER RECLINING SEAT IS STUCK IN DOWN POSITION. WAS STRUCK ON FRONT PASSENGERS SIDE WHILE TRAVELING ABOUT 55MPH AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. RECENTLY HAD TO HAVE EGR VALVE REPLACED ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT MY 1995 VAN HAD 1996 PARTS. COULD NOT FIND THIS PART IN ANY AUTO PARTS STORE IN TOWN SO I ENDED UP HAVING TO GO TO SALVAGE TO GET ONE FOR $50, IT WAS ALMOST $200.00 NEW AND EVEN AFTER WAITING A WEEK FOR THE PART THE AUTO PARTS STORE DID NOT GET ONE. THE HINGES FOR MY VAN ARE $43 EACH AND I AM SURE OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THIS SHOULD BE EXPECTED BECAUSE OF THE SNOW AND SALT IN OUR STATE. IT JUST SEEMS CHEVROLET SHOULD HAVE REDESIGNED THESE HINGES.

THE REAR SPRINGS ON THE BACK PART OF THE VEHICLE IS CAUSING BOTH FRONT TIRES TO WEAR EXCESSIVELY. THE DEALER INFORMED CONSUMER THAT THE CAUSE WAS DUE TO THE WRONG SIZE SPRINGS USED AT TIME OF MANUFACTURE. TS

AS A RESULT OF VEHICLE HIGHDROPLANNING AT THE RATE OF SPEED 45 MPH THROUGH A WATER PUDDLE, HITTING A TREE WITH FRONT END. AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AT ANY TIME. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION.AK

WE HAVE ALSO HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE RIGHT SIDE AXLE AND BEARINGS. ALSO THE COIL WENT OUT, AS WELL AS THE ENGINE SMALL BLOCK - WHICH DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM - THEY THEN HAD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE ENGINE.

REAR DRIVE AXEL ALWAYS NOISY, SEAL BROKE 2 TIMES, CAUSING DAMAGE TO BREAKS. THERE IS SCORING OF THE DRIVE AXLE AND HOUSING DAMAGE. I T HAS BEEN REPAIRED BUT I AM INFORMED I NEED A NEW REAR END BUT THAT CHEVROLET DOES NOT PRODUCE THEM. NHTSA REPORTS INDICATE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. I DO NOT WANT TO PAY 850.00 TO RELACE MY USED REAR END WITH A USED ONE THAT WILL FUNCTION JUST AS BADLY. WHERE CAN I GET NEW RELIABLE REPAIR PARTS FROM THE FACTORY. DO THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THIS DEFECT AND ARE THEY MAKING ANY COMPENSATION. COME ON THIS IS A 44,000.00 G-20 MARK III CONVERSION VAN, I WOULD EXPECT A BETTER DRIVE SYSTEM THAN THIS. HELP PLEASE. THANK YOU MRS. SHEPHERD

ANTI-LOCK BRAKES HAVE FAILED TWO TIMES IN PANIC STOPS, BRAKES WILL RELEASE ON ROUGH ROADS, BRAKES HAVE FAILED IN REVERSE, DEALER HAS REPLACED MASTER CYLINDER BUT THREE FAILURES HAVE OCCURED SINCE. BRAKES ARE GETTING WORSE WITH PEDAL GOING TO FLOOR IN PANIC STOPS AND RELEASING. HAD FAILURE IN MOUNTAINS THIS SUMMER IN REVERSE (PEDAL GOING TO FLOOR AND BRAKES RELEASING). THERE IS SOMETHING VERY WRONG WITH THE DESIGN OF THESE BRAKES! *AK

WINDSHIELD WIPERS WORK INTERMITTENTLY OR NOT AT ALL THIS IS DUE TO A FAULTY CIRCUIT BOARD. *AK

#1-MOUNTING BRACKETS FOR DRIVERS SEAT BROKE . SEAT FALLS BACKWARDS!! (THIS PROBLEM WAS NOT YET REPORTED TO DEALER WHEN TYPING THIS LETTER) #2- ORIGINAL ENGINE (350 CID)- KNOCKED ON STARTUP- ENGINE WAS REPLACED WITH ORIGINAL LONG BLOCK SUPPLIED BY WARANTY CO.-- REPLACEMENT ENGINE STILL HAS VERY LOAD KNOCKING AT STARTUP.

WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES THE ABS WARNING LIGHT COMES ON DUE TO THE ABS CABLE BEING CHAFED, LEAVING ABS INOPERATIVE. DEALER HAS SEEN VEHICLE. *AK

THIS IS ONLY A REPRESENTATIVE REPORT ON ONE GM VEHICLE IN AN EFFORT TO DRAW ATTENTION TO THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM WE HAVE HAD WITH MANY GM VEHICLES IN THE LAST YEAR AND ONE-HALF. WE OPERATE ABOUT 12 GM VANS, PICKUPS, TAHOES, SUBURBANS AND MINI-VANS AND WE HAVE HAD ABOUT 8 FUEL PUMP FAILURES ON THEM, SOME WHILE STILL IN WARRANTY, AND SOME JUST OUT OF WARRANTY. WE ARE NOW STARTING ON THE "SECOND ROUND" OF REPLACING FUEL PUMPS ON SOME OF THE SAME VEHICLES WE REPLACED THEM ON SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. IN THE 1995, 1996, 1997 & 1998 VEHICLES I MENTIONED, THE FUEL PUMPS FAIL WITH REGULARITY AND CREATE A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION IF ONE IS ON A CROWDED THOROFARE OR A RAILROAD CROSSING. WE DISCUSSED THIS PROBLEM WITH OUR GASOLINE SUPPLIER (LION OIL CO.) AND THEY ASSURED US IT WAS NOT A FUEL PROBLEM. THE LOCAL DEALERS TRIED TO BLAME THE PROBLEM ON OUR FUEL SUPPLY, BUT THE PROBLEM IS PREVALENT WITH GM DEALERS THROUGHOUT THE SOUTHEAST U.S. WE WERE TOLD BY LION OIL. THE FUEL PUMPS ARE MADE OF CHEAP PLASTIC MATERIALS AND PROBABLY COST THE DEALER ABOUT $50 BUT THEY CHARGE $427 FOR THEM TO A CUSTOMER. FOR GM OWNERS THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS DRIVING HAZARD AND UNFAIR FINANCIAL SITUATION TO HAVE TO CONTEND WITH AS THE FUEL PUMPS GO OUT WITH NO NOTICE AND THE VEHICLE COMES TO A HALT. THE TWO DEALERS I HAVE DEALT WITH WILL VERBALLY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE IS IN FACT A PROBLEM WITH THE PUMPS, BUT THEY SAY THEIR HANDS ARE TIED UNTIL GM ISSUES A RECALL. HOW MANY DOLLARS MUST BE WASTED AND HOW MANY DRIVERS MUST

RAKES FAILED TO WORK IN EMERGENCY STUATION. ALSO, WHEN VEHICLE RAN OVER A BUMP PEDAL WOULD RISE UP AND WOULD BE HARD TO APPLY. DEALER NOTIFIED, AND INFORMED THAT NOTHING COULD BE FOUND. CAN NHTSA HELP INTHOIS MATTER. *AK

WHEN APPYLING THE ABS BRAKES CONSUMER CAN HEAR THE SYSTEM ENGAGING, EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE OCCURRED WHICH HAS NEARLY CAUSED SEVERAL COLLISIONS. DEALER CANNOT IDENTIFY THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. PLEASE GIVE ANY FURTHER DETAILS. *AK

WHILE TRAVELING AND WHEN MAKING A SUDDEN OR GRADUAL STOP ON WET OR DRY PAVEMENT ABS BRAKES KICK IN, CAUSING BRAKE FADE AWAY, RESULTING IN EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE . CONSUMER HAS CONTACTED DEALER, AND DEALER HAS RESURFACED BRAKES ROTORS TWICE. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER DETAILS. *AK

WHEN DRIVING AT 55 MPH, ABS VALVE WENT OUT AND NEEDED REPLACED. *AK

CONCERNING AIRCONDITIONING SYSTEM: THE A/C WAS INNOPERATIVE WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND HAD TO BE SERVICED BEFORE IT WAS RELEASED TO MY OWNERSHIP. FOR EACH AUTMN SEASON SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE, THE A/C HAS FAILED AFTER THE FIRST HARD FREEZE FOR OUR AREA. IT HAS BEEN MY SUSPICION THAT AN O-RING OR SEAL HAS BEEN DEFECTIVE. THIS PAST MAY WHEN I TOOK IT IN FOR A/C SERVICE BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT COOL, I HAD TO PAY OUT-OF-POCKET FOR THE SERVICE SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS OFF WARRANTY. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT GM/CHEVROLET APPEARS TO PROVIDE DEFECTIVE SEALS/O-RINGS/VALVES FOR AFTERMARKET REPAIRS. THE DEALERSHIP REPORTED THAT "CHEVROLET AIRCONDITIONERS ALWAYS LEAK AND COOLANT REFILL IS EXPECTED". HA! MY SECOND COMPALAINT ABOUT THIS VEHICLE IS ITS BRAKING SYSTEM/SERVICE. THE DEALERSHIP TURNED THE ROTORS ON THIS VEHICLE AT 21000 MILES. I FIND THAT ODD BECAUSE I DON'T DRIVE IN STOP/GO CONDITIONS FOR THE MAJORITY OF MY TRAVELS (I LIVE IN VERY RURAL AREA). SINCE THAT SERVICING MY BRAKES HAVE PULSED UNDER NORMAL BRAKING CONDIDTIONS, YET THE DEALER ASSURES MY THAT IT IS JUST THE ABS. ??? NOT LIKELY. IF SO, IT IS ABNORMAL IN MY OPINION.

CONSUMER EXPERIENCING A INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WHEN ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A STOP OR REDUCING SPEED DUE TO ANTI-LOCK BRAKES KICKING IN WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. CONSUMER HAS CONTACTED THE DEALER. DEALER UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER DETAILS. *AK
