POSSIBLE ENGINE FAILURE RESULTING IN FIRE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WHILE DRIVING (OHIO TRAFFIC CRASH REPORT). NLM

TRAILER HITCH HAS DEVELOPED TWO CRACKS IN LEFT AND RIGHT HAND SIDES OF HITCH WHICH COULD CAUSE A PROBLEM IF PULLING ADDITIONAL WEIGHT. CONSUMER HAS CONTACTED DEALER. *AK THE DEALER VERIFIED THAT THE TRAILER HITCH HAD CRACKED ON BOTH SIDES AND WAS UNSAFE. THE CONSUMER SAYS THAT THE HITCH WAS IMPROPERLY DISIGNED AND SHOULD BE REIMBURSED COST OF REPAIR. *YH

WINDSHIELD WIPERS ONLY WORK INTERMITTENTLY. THERE IS A RECALL, BUT THIS VEHICLE NOT AFFECTED DUE TO VIN. *AK CONSUMER STATES WHEN A FAILURE OCCURS, HE CAN RAISE THE HOOD AND TAP ON THE WIPER BOX, AND THEN THE WIPERS WILL RE-START, CONSUMER STATES THIS FAILURE HAS HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, EVEN ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. *JB

WHILE USING WINDSHIELD WIPERS THEY WOULD QUIT WITHOUT A WARNING, JUST LIKE MENTIONED IN RECALL 98 V 150 001. HOWEVER, THIS THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL DUE TO VIN. *AK DEALER REPLACED CIRCUIT BOARD. *SLC

WINDSHEILD WIPERS QUIT WORKING IN THE MIDDLE OF OPERATION. TRUCK NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL CAMPAIGN 98V150001.

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WORK INTERMITTENTLY. THE WIPER MOTER CAN BE HEARD TRYING TO ENGAGE THE WIPERS, BUT FAILS TO DO SO. IF THE CAR IS DRY PRIOR TO RAIN, THE WIPERS SOMETIMES WILL WORK. IF THE CAR IS OUT AND IS WET, THE WIPERS WILL NOT WORK. THE WIPERS WILL SOMETIMES FAIL ONCE IN USE. I HAVE CONTACTED CHEVROLET, TO WHICH THEY SAID THEY CAN'T INCLUDE THE CAR IN THE RECALL ALTHOUGH IT SEEMS TO BE THE SAME PROBLEM. OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED IN THE RECALL. WE TOOK DELIVERY OF THE CAR ON APRIL 29, 1994.*AK

THE HITCH RECEIVER IS STARTING TO CRACK (PART # 15643953). NLM

CONSUMER HAD VEHICLE INSPECTED BY INDEPENDENT GROUP AT A TRADE SHOW THAT FOUND TRAILER HITCH WAS CRACKED IN SEVERAL DIFFERENT LOCATIONS. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION/ATTACHMENTS.*AK

WINDSHIELD WIPERS WORK INTERMITTENTLY DURING RAIN. TECHNICIAN STATED THAT MOTOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *AK WIPER MOTOR WORKS SOMETIMES AND SOMETIMES WON'T TURN OFF, IT HAS BEEN REPLACED BEFORE FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. *SLC

I FOUND ON THE NHTSA WEB SITE THAT A RECALL WAS INSTITUTED FOR THE WINSHIELD WIPER MODULE FOR 1994 SUBURBAN'S. I WASN'T NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH I A MODULE FAILURE AS DESCRIBED AND I HAVE A 1994 SUBURBAN. I CALLED CHEVROLET AND THEY SAID THAT MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT WITHIN THE SPECIFIED PERIOD AND I COULD NOT BE REIMBURSED FOR REPLACING THE MODULE. IS THIS CORRECT? *AK

EA95-026, CONSUMER WAS DRIVING IN GENERAL TRAFFIC ABOUT 20 MPH ,GOING FROM STOP TO STOP. CONSUMER APPLIED BRAKES AS NORMAL WITH ENOUGH SPACE , BUT VEHICLE WAS NOT STOPPING FAST ENOUGH. CONSUMER APPLIED BRAKES AGAIN HARDER, BUT BRAKES DID NOT RESPOND. VEHICLE WAS STILL SLOWING DOWN AT SAME RATE OF SPEED, CAUSING A REAREND CRASH. PRIOR TO INCIDENT, CONSUMER NOTICED THAT IT TOOK LONGER TO STOP, ABOUT 5 FEET FURTHER IN A NORMAL STOPPING CONDITION. *AK

WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH CONSUMER APPLIED BRAKES, PEDAL FELT HARD AND WENT TO FLOOR, BUT NO BRAKING ACTION. CONSUMER HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE, CONSUMER WAS INJURED, AND VEHICLE WAS TOTALLED. *AK

PULL TO THE RIGHT WHEN BRAKE IS APPLIED, CALIPERS ARE'T BEING RELEASED PROPERLY. *AK

INTERMITTENT WINDSHIELD WIPER PROBLEM. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS MAKE/MODEL, BUT THIS VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED DUE TO VIN. *AK

CARRIER GEAR ON LIMITED SLIP DIFFERENTIAL CRACKED. MANUFACTURER WILL BE NOTIFIED. *AK CONSUMER STATES ABS DO NOT STOP VEHICLE AND CONSUMER HAS HAD TO RUN OFF THE ROAD MAY TIMES IN ORDER TO PREVENT AN ACCIDENT. *SLC

WHILE RAINING WINDSHIELD WIPERS SOMETIMES GO OUT FOR A PERIOD OF TIME BY THEMSELVES, AND SOMETIMES THEY DON'T. THERE IS A RECALL 98V150001, BUT THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL DUE TO VIN. *AK THE DEALER STATE THAT THE VEHICLE VIN DOES NOT INDICATE THE DEFECTIVE UNITS. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM PRESENTS THE IDENTICAL SYMPTOMS AS THE VEHICLES IN THE RECALL. *YH

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS BEGAN TO WORK INTERMITTENTLY, USUALLY NOT AT ALL (DURING RAIN, GO FIGURE). IF THE SWITCH WAS TURNED ON AND YOU PULLED ON THE ARM OF THE WIPER, THEY WOULD SOMETIMES BEGIN TO FUNCTION. I LEARNED OF A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM: VISUAL SYSTEMS:WINDSHIELD WIPER AND WASHER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 98V15000, CAMPAIGN #: 98043. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE LISTED DEALER FOR THE DEFECT OF A BAD CIRCUIT BOARD TO BE CORRECTED. I WAS TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM THAT THEY FOUND WITH THE WIPERS, THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE RECALL, WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. THIS WAS ON 1-3-01, AND I HAD TO PAY $ 95.67 FOR THE REPAIR, WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED AS DICTATED BY THE RECALL. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE. JOHN JACOB

WHEN USING BRAKES THE CAR WILL STOP FOR BRIEF MOMENT THEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WILL PULSATE AND THE BRAKE STOP WORKING,THEN I HAVE TO TAKE MY FOOT OF THE BRAKES AND HIT IT AGAIN./ ON THE SET BELT WHEN THEY ARE BUCKLED AND YOU MOVE FORWARD THEY WILL NOT RETRACT.*AK

WINDSHIELD WIPER DELAY CIRCUIT BOARD FAILED. THIS VEHICLE WAS MADE ON JAN 12, 1994, THEREFORE IT WAS NOT SUBJECT TO THE RECALL CAMPAIGN #98V150001, AND THE DEALER REFUSED TO REPAIR THE BOARD AS PART OF THE RECALL. I REPLACED THE BOARD MYSELF. THE OLD PART IS AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION BY AN NHTSA-APPOINTED ENGINEER, IF YOU DESIRE. SINCE IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THIS CONDITION EXISTS FOR MORE THAN THE LIMITED DATES MENTIONED IN THE RECALL, IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT YOU EXPAND THE CAMPAIGN TO INCLUDE ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES. YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO SAVE LIVES. PLEASE DO NOT TAKE IT LIGHTLY. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A BIGGER PROBLEM THAN YOU ORIGINALLY THOUGHT - SEE THE FOLLOWING COMPLAINTS - ODI #S: 735172 734175 864283 862133 844514 711482 839471 838820 838386 848120 707007 843175 838540 707212 830912 841155 543656 830459 707179 713640 479355 516020. *AK

THESE 3 CASES OF AN ABS FAILURE OCCURRED ON DAMP ROADS. TWO CASES INVOLVED THE RIGHT FRONT TIRES BEING OVER LEAVES ON THE ROAD WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED. ALL THE CASES INVOLVED TRYING TO STOP AT A STOP SIGN. NORMAL PRESSURE(NOT A PANIC STOP) WAS APPLIED TOBRAKES, AND ALL 3 CASES WERE AT A SPEED OF 5MPH OR LESS. WHEN THE ABS SYSTEM KICKED IN, THE CAR BASICALLY WOULD NOT STOP WITHIN ANY REASONABLE DISTANCE. WE HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THIS ABS SYSTEM(KELSEY-HAYES) EVER SINCE WE PURCHASED VEHICLE IN 1994. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THIS SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK!!!! IF THE ABS EVER KICKS IN, YOU ARE IN TROUBLE. WE HAVE HAD ONLY 1 ACCIDENT SINCE 1994(CAUSED BY THE ABS), BUT HAVE HAD NUMEROUS NEAR-MISSES. I HAVE EVEN LOOKED INTO DISCONNECTING THE ABS, BUT THERE IS SIOME INTERLOCKING OF THE ABS TO THE TRANSMISSION OR OTHER SYSTEMS THAT PREVENT YOU FROM DOING THAT. I HAVE TALKED TO THE DEALERS, MANUFATURER, AND THE NTHSA. THE DEALERS AND THE MANUFACTURERS ARE NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT BECAUSE IT WOULD INVOLVE REPLACING THE WHOLE KELSEY-HAYES SYSTEM NOT JUST A MODIFICATION.*AK

ABS IS MALFUNCTIONING, CAUSING POOR BRAKE PERFORMANCE, AND ABS WILL ACTIVATE ON DRY PAVEMENT.*AK *SLC

CONSUMER NOTICED TRAILER HITCH ATTACHMENT WITH CRACKS ON SIDE. *AK THE CRACKS ARE ON THE CURVED PART OF THE ANGLE BRACKET BOLTED TO THE FRAME, DEALER REPLACED THE HITCH. *SLC

NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID #98V150001 COVERS THIS FAILURE FOR SUBURBAN'S MANUFACTURED SHORTLY AFTER MY SUBURBAN WAS MANUFACTURED. THE COMPONENT THAT FAILED IS THE SAME AS THE ONE DESCRIBED IN #98V150001. THIS SITUATION NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT AND SHOULD BE CORRECTED BY THE MANUFACTURER REGARDLESS OF THE DATE OF MANUFACTURER. IT IS A SAFTEY HAZZARD THAT COULD LEAD TO LOSS OF LIFE.

THE TRUCK HAS POOR BRAKING ABILITY, WHICH MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO STOP WHEN NEEDED. ONE ACCIDENT HAS RESULTED AS DESCRIBED, IN 3/1999. MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS AND SERVICE ATTEMPTS HAVE BEEN DONE WITH NO RESULT. MULTIPLE COMPONENTS HAVE BEEN CHANGED AT MY EXPENSE, WITH NO CHANGE. THE DEALER (JOE HOLLAND IN CHARLESTON, WV) STATES THE BRAKES ARE FUNCTIONING AS DESIGNED. THE TRUCK IS VERY DIFFICULT TO STOP IN SITUATIONS WHERE A QUICK STOP IS NEEDED. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN CHRONIC SINCE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED. IT TAKES A LONG TIME TO SLOW THE CAR DOWN. MANY CLOSE CALLS HAVE HAPPENED. POOR BRAKE PERFORMANCE.*AK

TREAD SEPARATED FROM BODY OF TIRE. TIRE SERIAL # DK 32644-S P4402 21643-B (DOT NUMBER: ACHL213035 TIRESIZE: P235/75R15) (DOT NUMBER: ACHL213035 TIRESIZE: P235/75R15)

EA 95 026/POOR BRAKE PERFORMANCE: WHEN APPLYING BRAKE IN A SUDDEN STOP/EMERGENCY SITUATION IT CAUSES LOSS OF BRAKING, AND VEHICLE CONTINUES ON. DEALER NOTIFIED ,AND INFORMED CONSUMER THAT NOTHING COULD BE FOUND. PLEASE FELL FREE TO PROVIDE ANY FURTHER DETAILS. *AK

RECALL 98V150 000/WINDSHIELED WIPER WIRING: WINDSHIELED WIPERS WORK INTERMITTENTLY, CAN RESULT IN INOPERATIVE WIPERS, REDUCING DRIVER'S VISIBILITY AND INCREASING RISK OF VEHICLE CRASH. MANUFACTURER NOTIFIED, AND INFORMED CONSUMER THAT VEHICLE WAS NOT COVER UNDER RECALL DUE TO VIN. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO PROVIDE ANY FURTHER DETAILS. *AK

THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED ON NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN 98V150001, BUT THE CAR WAS MANUFACTURED IN 1993, BEFORE THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE RECALL. THE SYMPTOMS OF MY COMPLAINT ARE EXACTLY AS STATED IN THIS RECALL.

DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S SEATBELTS MALFUNCTIONED DUE TO SHOULDER BELT NOT TIGHTENING. IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL IT STATES THAT IT SHOULD BE TIGHT. *AK BOTHE FRONT BUCKET SEAT 3 POINT RETRACTER'S ARE INOPERATIVE. SHOULDER HARNESS WILL NOT TIGHTEN. *YH

AIR CONDITIONER HAS FAILED 3 YEARS IN A ROW, REPLACED BY THE SUGGESTED MANUFACTURER PART. PART IS ONLY GUARNTEED FOR 1 YEAR AND SEEMS TO BREAK SHORTLY AFTER GUARNTEE EXPIRES.

APPROXIMATELY 80% OF THE TREAD SEPARATED FROM THE TIRE CARCASS. IT REMAINED ATTACHED TO THE TREAD WHICH WAS STILL ATTCHED TO THE CARCASS AND DAMAGED THE LEFT REAR FENDER AND DOOR (APPROXIMATELY $800 IN DAMAGE + $125 COST OF THE TIRE, SEE LATER). THE CARCASS BLEW OUT IMMEDIATELY. CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WAS NOT LOST. I SENT THE TIRE TO FIRESTONE FOR ANALYSIS AND POSSIBLE COVERAGE OF MY DAMAGE DUE TO A PRODUCT DEFECT. THEIR RESPONSE WAS THAT THE TIRE HAD BEEN DAMAGED BY A ROAD HAZARD AND THEY WERE THEREFORE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DAMAGES. IN ANY EVENT, I DON'T BELIEVE THAT THEIR TIRE SHOULD CATASTROPHICALLY FAIL BUT I DIDN'T BELIEVE I WOULD HAVE MUCH SUCCESS FIGHTING THEIR DECISION. THE TIRE ITSELF WAS COVERED BY A ROAD HAZARD WARRENTEE AND WAS REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE. THE TIRES WERE NEARING THE END OF THEIR SERVICE LIFE BUT STILL HAD A DEPTH OF TREAD WITHIN LEGAL REQUIREMENTS. I HAVE SINCE REPLACED ALL 4 TIRES WITH THOSE OF ANOTHER MANUFACTURER. I SEND YOU THIS INFORMATION FOR USE IN YOUR CURRENT ANALYSIS OF PROBLEMS WITH THESE SIZE TIRES. ULTIMATELY, I WOULD BE SATISFIED WITH REINBURSEMENT FO THE BODY REPAIR ON MY VEHICLE. THE TIRES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE OF NORMAL (AND ACCEPTABLE) WEAR.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE AS A NEW DEMO WITH 3210 MILES. IN FEB 1995 WITH ONLY 8000 MILES ON THIS VEHICLE WHILE TRAVELING AT 65+ MILES PER HOUR ON THE FWY THE LEFT REAR TIRE EXPLODED ( TREAD SEPARATION) . ALMOST CAUSING ACCIDENT AND ROLL OVER!( NO ACCIDENT OR INJURIES OCCURED). WHEN I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF FWY THE LEFT REAR TIRE WAS COMPLETELY RIPPED TO SHREDS. I CHANGED THE TIRE INSTALLING THE SPARE. I TOOK FAILED TIRE TO LOCAL FIRESTONE TIRE DEALER ( KENNEDY FIRESTONE) FOR WARRANTY ADJUSTMENT. THEY SAID I MUST HAVE HIT SOMETHING ON THE FWY. I EXPLAINED I NEVER HIT ANYTHING THE TIRE JUST BLEW APART AT HIGH SPEED WITH NO WARING. THEY DID NOT ADJUST TIRE FOR WARRANTY WHAT SO EVER @ 8000MILE. I HAD ALL FOUR TIRES REPLACED WITH BFG ALL TERRIAN TIRES AND HAVE NEVER PURCHASED FIRESTONE PRODUCTS SINCE THIS INCIDENT.*AK (TIRESIZE: LT245/75R)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: LT245/75R )

ABS ON CHEVROLET, SUBURBAN IS UNRELIABLE AND FAULTY - NEED A SOLUTION BEFORE A FATALITY OCCURS.*AK

FIRESTONE WILDERNESS HT TIRES(255 70 R15) EXPERIENCED TREAD SEPARATION. *SLC

ON ROAD LESS THAN 5 MINUTES. SPEED 5 TO 8 MPH. FIST SIZED BLOWOUT IN CENTER OF TREAD. *AK (DOT NUMBER: DON'T SEE TIRESIZE: LT245/7R16)

WHEN DRIVING VEHICLE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WORK INTERMITTENTLY. DEALERSHIP IS AWARE OF PROBLEM.*AK

INTERMITTENTLY WINDSHIELD WIPERS BECAME INOPERABLE. A RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED ON VEHICLE MAKE AND MODEL; HOWEVER, THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED DUE TO VIN. MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED. *AK

THE 1994 SUBURBANS HAD A RECALL #98V150000 FOR THE PROBLEM OF THE WIPER MOTOR MODULE BECOMING INOPERABLE. I TOOK MINE IN FOR THE REPAIR AS MY WIPERS WERE NOT WORKING AND WAS TOLD THAT THE VIN# FOR MY VEHICLE WAS OUTSIDE THE COVERED RANGE, SO I WOULD HAVE TO PAY THE $86.96 TO REPAIR IT. OBVIOUSLY, THE VIN RANGE SHOULD BE EXPANDED AS THE PROBLEM IS EFFECTING OTHER VEHICLES.

RECALL 99025000/BRAKE SWITCH: ON GOING / INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WHEN BRAKE ARE APPLIED ON ROUGH SURFACE ROAD OR A BUMP IT CAUSES A TEMPORARY LOSS OF BRAKE FOR 3-5 SECONDS BEFORE RESTORING. VEHICLE BEEN A INDEPENDENCE REPAIRS SHOP ON TWO OCCASIONS, AND PROBLEM WAS STILL OCCURRING. DEALER NOTIFIED FOR A APPOINTMENT. FEEL FREE TO PROVIDE ANY FURTHER DETAILS. *AK

MY VEHICLE IS SUBJECT TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN 98V150001 AND/OR 98V150000. CHEVROLET IS MAINTAINING THAT MY VEHICLE HAS ALREADY BEEN FIXED, ALTHOUGH THAT IS NOT THE CASE. WHILE THIS MAY BE A RARE SNAFU, IT MAY BE PART OF A PATTERN OF CONDUCT. INTERESTINGLY, CHEVROLET HAS SAID THAT IF I CAN PRODUCE THE RECORDS THAT DEMONSTRATE THAT THE WORK HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE, THEY WILL DO THE WORK AGAIN. (SINCE THE WORK HAS NEVER BEEN DONE, I OBVIOUSLY CANNOT MEET THIS REQUIREMENT.) FROM CHEVROLET'S PERSPECTIVE, I CAN HAVE THE WORK DONE TWICE IF I HAVE A RECORD OF IT HAVING BEEN DONE ONCE, BUT I CANNOT HAVE IT DONE AT ALL IF THEY HAVE A RECORD THAT IT WAS DONE PREVIOUSLY, BUT I HAVE NO SUCH RECORD. DO THEY THINK THEY CAN WIN WITH THIS LOGIC? DOES NHTSA MONITOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THESE RECALLS? DO YOU KNOW THAT THIS IS GM'S POLICY?

WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL FAIL INTERMITTENTLY DURING OPERATION, CAUSING POOR TO NO VISIBILITY. SAME DEFECT AS MENTINED IN RECALL 98V150001. BUT, MANUFACTURER CLAIMED THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL DUE TO VIN. *AK

BAD STEERING WOBBLE; DIFFICULTY IN MAINTAINING CONTROL. BELT SEPARATED ON ALL 4 TIRES. FIRESTONE REPLACED WITH WILDERNESS HT TIRES AT OWNER'S EXPENSE.( DOT NUMBER: UNAVAILABL TIRE SIZE: 23575R15XL )

WINDSHIELD GO OUT WHEN TURNING ON THUMPS TO DASH, A GIGGLE TO THE WIPER WILL RESTART THEM

INTERMITTANT OPERATION OF WINDSHIELD WIPERS/RECALL STARTED IN 1994/HAVING SAME PROBLEM BUT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT IN RECALL.

RECALL 98 150001/WINDSHIELD WIPER: WINDSHIELD WIPERS WORKING INTERMITTENTLY, RESULTING IN INOPERATIVE WIPERS, REDUCING DRIVER'S VISIBILITY, AND INCREASING RISK OF A VEHICLE CRASH.
