HOW DO I FIND OUT WHAT TO DO OR HOW TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM???NO SAFETY DEFECT LISTED. *AK

WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN MARCH OF 2001. THE SEAT LATCH THAT SLIDES THE SEAT FORWARD BEGAN TO GIVE US PROBLEMS. WE TOOK THE CASING OFF OF THE BASE OF THE SEAT AND FOUND THAT THE RELEASE LEVER HAD BEEN WORN TO THE POINT THAT IT NO LONGER RELEASES THE SEAT TO SLIDE FORWARD.

THE FIRST PROBLEM THAT I HAD WITH THESES TIRES WAS BACK IN JULY OF 2000. ON BOTH OF THE FRONT TIRES THE BELTS HAD BROKEN AT THAT TIME THE TRUCK HAD ABOUT 12,000 MILES ON IT. THE PROBLEM WAS CAUGHT BEFORE ANY SEPARATION HAD HAPPENED. THEN ON 8/17/01 I WAS DRIVING ON I215 AND THE TRUCK PULLED HARD TO THE RIGHT AND THERE WAS A LOUD BANG. I BROUGHT THE TRUCK BACK UNDER CONTROL AND PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND GOT OUT. I WALKED AROUND TO THE FRONT RIGHT SIDE AND THE TIRE HAD SEPARATED, IT DIDN'T GO FLAT. THEN EXACTLY A WEEK LATER I HAD THE LEFT FRONT TIRE BLOWOUT. THIS TIRE WAS IN PIECES. AFTER THE FIRST SEPARATION I CALLED FIRESTONE AND WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT TO A FIRESTONE DEALER IN MY AREA TO HAVE THE REST OF THE TIRES LOOKED AT. I DID THAT I TOOK IT TO TED WIENS ON WARM SPRINGS.

SEAT FAILURE-THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT SUPPORT BROKE CAUSING THE SEAT TO LURCH FORWARD AND BACKWARD UPON STOPPING AND STARTING OF THE VEHICLE ACCOMPANIED BY A LOUD POPPING NOISE. DEALER IS REPLACING SUPPORTS ON BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEAT SINCE THE PASSENGER SEAT WAS ALSO LOOSE OR CRACKING. ENGINE-THE ORIGINAL ENGINE IN THE TRUCK FAILED. THE CRANKSHAFT ROD BEARINGS WERE BADLY WORN. THE TROUBLE WAS DETECTED BY A SLIGHT KNOCK IN THE LOWER PART OF THE ENGINE. THE NEW ENGINE STARTED TO PRODUCE A "TAPPING NOISE" UPON COLD START UP. THE DEALER SAID THIS WAS A NORMAL NOISE DUE TO LOOSE PISTONS (SLAP). THE NOISE SUBSIDES AFTER ABOUT 4 MINUTES OF WARM-UP. IF THIS IS PISTON SLAP, THE ENGINE WILL WEAR FASTER CAUSING PREMATURE FAILURE. I CALLED GM AND THEY WERE NOT INTERESTED IN THE DISCUSSING OR HELPING WITH LATTER PROBLEM.

FRIDAY JUNE 6, 2001 MY WIFE AND FIVE KIDS LEFT FROM HUNTSVILLE, AL TO GO TO PENSACOLA, FL FOR THE WEEKEND, THEY GOT ABOUT 250 MILES AND THE REAR END BLEW OUT ON OUR 1999 CHEVY SUBURBAN LT K1500. THE WAS A "KLUNK" AS SHE WAS TRAVELLING 70MPH ON I-65. THERE WAS A DEALERSHIP IN SIGHT, SO I HAD IT TOWED THERE, AND THE FOLLOWING MONDAY I CALLED TO GET AN ESTIMATE. I WAS TOLD THE REAR END HOUSING HAD A HOLE BLOWN THROUGH IT. THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME $1,900 FOR A USED REAR END, AND $250 FOR LABOR. THE LABOR SOUNDED REASONABLE, BUT THE $1,900 WAS OUTRAGEOUS. I CONTACTED THE CHEVY DEALER IN PENSACOLA AND LOCATED A USED REAR END WITH A 12 MONTH PARTS AND LABOR WARRANTY FOR $1,200, SO I CALLED A FLAT BED WRECKER AND PAID $220 TO HAVE TOWED TO PENSACOLA FOR REPAIR. I CALLED CHEVY CUSTOMER SERVICE AND FILED A COMPLAINT AGAINST THE GREENVILLE DEALER AND ON THE VEHICLE ITSELF (FILE #C04557412). THE FIRST CR I SPOKE WITH TOOK THE INFORMATION, BUT WAS NOT VERY HELPFUL BEYOND THAT. MY OWN MECHANIC WHO REPAIRED THE VEHICLE EXAMINED THE REAR END AND SAID IT LOOKED LIKE THERE WAS NO SEAL OR LEAKAGE PROBLEM BUT THAT SOMETHING INSIDE JUST GAVE OUT AND WENT THROUGH THE HOUSING. WE HAD OWNED A 93, C2500 THAT HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE REAR END SEAL AFTER 140,000 MILES, AND THAT IS A LITTLE MORE UNDERSTANDABLE, BUT 72,000 MILES SEEMS LIKE A VERY PREMATURE DEATH FOR A REAR END TO INCUR AN INTERNAL FAILURE. I CALLED CHEVY CUSTOMER SERVICE BACK AND SPOKE WITH A JUDY FRANCO. I TOLD HER WHAT THE MECHANIC SAID
