Gm is conducting a recall on all subject vehicles build between may 1999 and october 14, 1999.significant changes were incorporated into production in early october 1999, and vehicles built after that date have lower warranty failure rates.the complaint and warranty data appear to support the effectiveness of these changes. Gm made additional changes in november 1999, february 2000, may 2001, and february 2004.odi will continue to monitor this problem and will take further action, if warranted, in the future.for further technical details see the attached engineering analysis report.

There have been less than 2 complaints per 100,000 subject vehicles related to the alleged defect.the oldest vehicles (my 1999) have only 2 complaints in over 140 thousand vehicles after over 4 years in service.the rate of warranty claims potentially related to the alleged defect is less than 0.1%.there are no known incidents involving rapid loss of tire pressure or loss of vehicle control. A defect trend has not been identified at this time.accordingly, this investigation is closed.the closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by NHTSA that no safety-related defect …

The brake lines rust and they burst this occurred on my main brake line going to the abs controller I had no brakes from mechanics they say this is a common problem on usa made cars brake lines should never ever rust and burst

When driving at highway speeds or even around town the vehicle randomly jerks to one side or another alignment was just done and was told all was good tires are new Pitman armor place ball joints replaced still having the issue of it darting specially when going around curves it wants to pull vehicle to the ditch and I look like I am driving drunk which I'm not I've had my mechanic try to inspect the issue he couldn't find it I heard they're made possibly be a TSB out for it but it's hidden

275/75 r16 tires coming apart on the side walls

Spare tire hoist wire broke and spare tire was released from vehicle on the highway. Vehicle was doing speed limit of 75mph and spare tire barely missed traffic behind vehicle.

The contact owned a 2002 Chevrolet Suburban. The contact stated that while driving at 40 mph, there were cicadas flying towards the front driver side windshield that obstructed the contact's visibility which caused the contact to crash into a utility pole. The air bags did not deploy. The contact was transported to the hospital by ambulance for injuries sustained. A police report was filed. The vehicle was first towed to a towing yard then towed to an auto body shop where the insurance company deemed it totaled. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and had sent out a field representative to inspect the vehicle and retrieved the event data recorder from the vehicle. The failure mileage was 260,000.

The steering pump has plenty of fluid in the reservoir and has been changed regularly. All of the sudden all power assisted steering disappeared when turning to the left making parking nearly impossible causing a great safety concern as this is my only vehicle and now my wife cannot take the truck anywhere. According to other owners, it's a common issue caused by the booster valve sticking shut and when I inquired about repair, I was quoted a part cost of 300 bucks which I don't have at all. Hopefully enough folks report this issue resulting in action taken by NHTSA even though the vehicle is almost 20 years old.

I WAS ON THE FREEWAY THERE WAS TRAFFIC I WENT TO SLOW DOWN MY BRAKES LOCKED UP ON ME MY CAR FISH TAILED I RELEASED THE BRAKES AND THEY WERE STILL STILL LOCKED. CAUSED ME TO SLID AT LEAST 30 FEET I WAS ONLY GOING 35. WHICH CAUSED ME SLAM INTO THE CENTER DIVIDER

WHEN YOU PUSH ON THE HORN NOTHING HAPPENS, BUT THE PANIC BUTTON ON THE REMOTE MAKES THE HORN GO OFF. IT'S NOT THE HORN UNDER THE HOOD, THAT IS FAULTY, IT IS THE SWITCH INSIDE THE STEERING WHEEL BURNED UP. I HAVE ASKED MULTIPLE MECHANICS TO FIX THIS AND THEY SAID IT WOULD TAKE A WHOLE DAY AND THE STEERING WHEEL AND AIRBAG WOULD HAVE TO BE REMOVED. THEY SAID THAT THEY SEE THIS SWITCH BURN UP ALL THE TIME IN GM STEERING WHEELS. IT WILL COST A LOT IN LABOR AND ALSO PARTS. *TR

PARKING BRAKE WILL NOT HOLD THE CAR IN PLACE AND WAS LIKE THAT WHEN I BOUGHT IT NEW. UNABLE TO REPAIR IT TO MAKE IT HOLD THE CAR. PROBLEMS GETTING CAR INSPECTED.

WHEN DRIVING MY 2002 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN 1500 AT SPEEDS UNDER 10 MPH IN BUMPER-TO-BUMPER TRAFFIC, THE ABS INDEPENDENTLY ACTIVATED. THIS HAPPENED IN DRY WEATHER ON A FREEWAY. WHEN THE ABS INDEPENDENTLY ACTIVATED, THE CAR VIBRATED AND ACCELERATED WITH DIFFICULTY AND JERKED. THE BRAKES LOCKED UP, CAUSING A TIRE TO BLOW OUT. THE CAR CAUGHT FIRE WHERE THE BRAKES HAD LOCKED UP THE FRONT RIGHT WHEEL. THE FIRE COMMANDER WHO EXAMINED THE CAR AFTER PUTTING OUT THE FIRE AND THE MECHANIC WHO IS REPAIRING THE CAR BOTH EXPLAINED THAT IMPROPER ABS ACTIVATION LED TO A RUPTURE IN THE BRAKE LINE, EXPOSING THE LEAKING BRAKE FLUID TO THE HEAT GENERATED BY THE LOCKED BRAKES. THIS VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS AS INDICATED IN NHTSA RECALL 05V379000 CONCERNING THE ABS SYSTEM BUT IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DUE TO THE VIN. THE CAR HAD BEEN TAKEN TO A GM DEALER TWO MONTHS EARLIER (IN JULY) WITH A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THE ABS SYSTEM. THE GM DEALER DID NOT MENTION THE RECALL BUT MADE EXTENSIVE (AND EXPENSIVE) REPAIRS TO THE CAR. THE CAR EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN IN SEPTEMBER, WHEN IT LED TO THE FIRE. THIS WAS NOT ENOUGH TIME OR THE RIGHT SEASON FOR THE ABS TO DETERIORATE FROM SALT EXPOSURE SINCE THE JULY REPAIRS. MY CAR IS PROBABLY EXCLUDED FROM THE RECALL BECAUSE IT IS REGISTERED IN VIRGINIA. IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED BECAUSE THE CAR IS REGISTERED IN FAIRFAX COUNTY, VIRGINIA, LESS THAN 15 MILES FROM WASHINGTON, D.C. AND MARYLAND. FAIRFAX COUNTY IS FURTHER NOR

ANTI LOCK BRAKES ARE ACTIVATING ON THERE OWN WHEN TRYING TO STOP AND HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO CRASH 4 TIMES. I FINALLY PULLED THE ABS FUSE OUT THIS STOPPED IT BUT NOW I HAVE NO ABS IAM IN SOAP LAKE WASHINGTON IT SHOWS A RECALL BUT ONLY FOR A FEW STATES I BOUGHT MY SUBURBAN NEW IN BOISE IDAHO AND NOW RESIDE IN WASHINGTON STATE MY VEHACLE IS EFFECTED EXTREMELY BAD WITH THIS PROBLEM

BRAKE LINES RUSTED AND BRAKES FAILED TWICE WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO ACCIDENTS. FIRST INCIDENT WAS THE REAR BRAKE LINE BURST. I REPLACED THE RUSTED BRAKE LINE. FRONT BRAKE LINE BURST 6 MONTHS AFTER REAR BRAKE LINE WAS REPLACED. ALL FRONT BRAKE LINES WERE SO RUSTED, I REMOVED AND REPLACED ALL OF THEM AS A PRECAUTION. THE BRAKE LINES RUSTED IN AREAS WHERE THEY WERE CLAMPED, SO THAT SALT AND DIRT COULD NOT BE CLEANED OUT. BRAKE LINES WERE UNPAINTED BARE STEEL.

BRAKES FAILED WHILE DRIVING 60MPH ON HIGHWAY I-476 (PHILADELPHIA PA) WITH THE FAMILY IN THE VEHICLE. UPON BRAKING TO STOP FOR TRAFFIC, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT DIRECTLY TO THE FLOOR AND PUMPING THE PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES DID NOT RESULT IN ANY BRAKING OF THE VEHICLE. AFTER MANAGING TO GET THE VEHICLE TO A STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, AND THEN PUMPING THE BRAKE PEDAL SEVERAL MORE TIMES, BRAKE FLUID COULD BE SEEN COMING FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE AT BOTH THE AREA AROUND THE REAR AXLE AND THE AREA UNDER THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT. LATER, INSPECTION OF THE BRAKE LINES FOUND THEM ALL TO BE SEVERELY RUSTED. AFTER READING THAT THIS IS AN EXISTING PROBLEM WITH GM VEHICLES, IT IS GREATLY DISAPPOINTING, TO SAY THE LEAST, THAT NO NOTIFICATION OR RECALL WAS GIVEN. SUCH A SEVERE AND SCARY SAFETY PROBLEM SHOULD REQUIRE AT LEAST NOTIFICATION OF CUSTOMERS AND BETTER QUALITY DESIGN/CONTROL OF BRAKING COMPONENTS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL PULSATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE FAILURE DID NOT RECUR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 220,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ABS WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE HUB SENSOR ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 180,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. UPDATED 01/31/2017*CT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN. THE CONTACT SMELLED A SMOKE ODOR COMING FROM THE AIR CONDITIONER AND THE VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE CONTACT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE BEFORE THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A FIRE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 193,337.

THE REAR BRAKE LINE FAILED FOR THE SECOND TIME AND CAUSED ME TO HAVE ACCIDENT. THE ISSUE IS THAT THE FRONT BRAKES DID NOT STOP THE VEHICLE AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. WHEN THIS HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME 2009 THE DEALER CHANGED THE MASTER CYLINDER AND OTHER BRAKE COMPONENTS STATING THAT IS WHY THE FRONT BRAKES DIDN'T WORK HOWEVER THIS FAILURE WAS EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE FIRST INCIDENT ABSOLUTELY NO BRAKES.

THE CIRCUIT BOARD UNDER THE DRIVERS SEAT SHORTED OUT AND CAUGHT ON FIRE WHILE THE CAR WAS OCCUPIED.

THE PARKING BRAKE ON THIS VEHICLE HAS NEVER WORKED PROPERLY SINCE NEW AND NOW I GET A REJECTION STICKER IN THE STATE WHERE I LIVE DUE TO THIS AND THEN HAVE TO SPEND MONEY TO REPAIR IT AND IT STILL DOES NOT WORK. IT WILL NOT HOLD EVEN ON THE SLIGHTEST INCLINE. VERY DANGEROUS.

BRAKE LINE HAS CORRODED AND RUBBED A HOLE IN THE BRAKE LINE AND LEADED FLUIDED. HAS BEEN REPLACED AND IS RUBBING IN SAME PLACE ON FRAME AGAIN.

BRAKE LINE ROTTED OUT RESULTING IN NEAR COLLISION. SECOND FAILURE IN AUG. OF 2015 BOTH EVENTS WERE A NEAR COLLISION . THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN KEPT IN NEAR PERFECT CONDITION AS A HAULER FOR MY TRAILER, NOW FEAR TO USE AS ALL LINES LOOK BAD, SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE OF A NON COROSSIVE MATERIAL. VEHICLE SPENT MOST OF IT'S LIFE IN VERMONT

THE REAR FUEL TANK STRAP BROKE BY THE BOLT. THE STRAP THEN PIVOTED DOWN ONTO THE DRIVE SHAFT. THE ONLY REASON THE TANK DID NOT HIT THE ROAD IS BECAUSE OF THE STRENGTH OF THE FUEL FILLER HOSES FROM THE GAS CAP.

MY ANTILOCK BRAKES ARE GOING OFF AT SLOW SPEEDS, ALMOST CAUSING ACCIDENT, GOING ABOUT 4-5 MPH, NEED TO KNOW IF MY VIN IS COVERED IN RECALL

STARTED VEHICLE PUT IN REVERSE TO BACK UP AND WHEN APPLIED BRAKES THEY PEDAL WAS SOFT AND THEN WENT TO FLOOR AND VEHICLE HIT A TREE. BRAKE LINES ARE RUSTED SEVERELY.

WENT TO PRESS ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO PUT THE VEHICLE INTO DRIVE AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK GOT OUT AND BRAKE FLUID WAS COMING OUT FROM UNDER THE CAR NEAR THE FRONT OF THE DRIVERS DOOR. *TR

TRAVELING ON A 4-LANE HIGHWAY, 35 MPH, APPROACHING RED LIGHT IN LINE OF HEAVY TRAFFIC. I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND FELT THE PEDAL GO TO THE FLOOR. I STEPPED ON THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND WAS ABLE TO STOP THE TRUCK BEFORE HITTING THE VEHICLE AHEAD OF ME. SECOND INCIDENT: 2014. TRAVELING DOWN HILL TOWARD STOP SIGN. SAME SEQUENCE OF EVENTS AS ABOVE. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT CHEV. SUBURBANS SOLD IN NEW ENGLAND HAVE STEEL BRAKE LINES! THIS IS MY 8TH SUBURBAN. FIRST EXPERIENCE WITH RUSTING EVERYWHERE UNDER CHASSIS, ESP. BRAKE LINES. *TR

COMING UP TO A STOP LIGHT I NOTICED I NEEDED TO PUSH BRAKE PEDDLE FARTHER DOWN TO STOP. THE SAME FOR EACH STOP AFTER THAT. I KNEW THAT ANOTHER BRAKE LINE HAD FAILED. I HAD TWO REPLACE UNDER HOOD ABOUT A YEAR AGO. THIS ONE IS OVER FRAME MIDWAY BACK. *TR

VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN CRASH AFTER BRAKES FAILED, WITHOUT WARNING INDICATOR. BRAKE LINE WAS CORRODED THROUGH IN ENGINE COMPARTMENT NEAR BRACKET ON FRAME. *TR

BRAKES FAILED TODAY. STEEL TUBING WAS FOUND TO BE PERFORATED ALONG THE FORWARD LEFT PORTION. THE REMAINDER OF THE TUBING IS SUBSTANTIALLY CORRODED AND APPEARS SUBJECT TO FAILURE AS WELL. I SEE THAT THIS FAILURE IS THE SUBJECT OF NHTSA ACTION NUMBER EA11001 . *TR

MY SON WAS TRAVELING @ 50 MPH WHEN BRAKES FAILED. HE NARROWLY MISSED HITTING A CAR AT AN INTERSECTION. FOUND OUT FROM MECHANIC THAT BRAKE LINE HAD FAILED AND WAS ENTIRELY CORRODED. HAD NO WARNING. REPAIR COST $1,200. EVIDENTLY, THIS HAPPENS SO OFTEN THAT THERE IS AN AFTERMARKET KIT TO REPLACE ALL LINES. HAS THEIR BEEN A RECALL?.. *JS

LAST YEAR THE ODOMETER AND GEAR SELECTION DISPLAY ON MY 2002 CHEVY SUBURBAN WOULD GO OUT THEN A WHILE LATER IT WOULD COME BACK ON. THIS WENT ON FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS WITH THE DISPLAY STAYING OFF FOR LONGER AND LONGER TIMES. AROUND DECEMBER 2013, THE DISPLAY WENT OUT PERMANENTLY. I TOOK MY 2002 SUBURBAN FOR THE REQUIRED SMOG TEST ON APRIL 28,2014 AND SINCE THERE WAS NO ODOMETER MILEAGE DISPLAYED ( EVEN AFTER PRESSING THE ODOMETER BUTTON WITH THE ENGINE OFF ), THE TECHNICIAN HAD TO PUT DOWN "NONE" UNDER MILEAGE. THE SITUATION OF NOT HAVING A DISPLAY FOR DISPLAYING WHAT GEAR YOU ARE IN IS A SAFETY ISSUE! A PERSON MIGHT ACCIDENTALLY PUT THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE INSTEAD OF REVERSE. ALSO WITHOUT AN ODOMETER, IT IS GOING TO BE HARD TO ESTIMATE THE MILEAGE WHEN SELLING THE VEHICLE. *TR

DRIVING MY 2002 1500 SUBURBAN THE BRAKE LINE LET LOOSE, GOT THE TRUCK TO THE SHOP ON THE LIFT FOUND ALL BRAKE LINES CORRODED AND TWO LEAKING FLUID. UPON INSPECTION FOUND ALL FUEL LINES ROTTED OUT AS WELL. REPLACED ALL LINES IN THE TRUCK BRAKE AND FUEL INCLUDING FRONT RUBBER LINES AND CALIPERS. TRUCK HAS NEVER HAD A GREAT BRAKE PEDAL STILL DOES NOT. ALSO FOUND ROCKER PANELS ROTTING OUT ALONG WITH QUARTERS TRUCK IS BEAUTIFUL IN AND OUT EXCEPT THE CHEAP METAL GM USED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO PROPERLY RESPOND TO DECELERATION ATTEMPTS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM WAS FAULTY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH AND COMING TO A LIGHT CHANGING TO YELLOW DURING A HEAVY SNOWFALL I HAD ATTEMPTED TO STOP . THE ABS PULSATED A FEW TIMES BECAUSE OF THE SNOW AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND THE SUBURBAN DID NOT STOP AND I COULD ONLY HOLD ON HOPE AND PRAY MYSELF AND MY 2 AND 3 YEAR OLDS GET THROUGH THE SNOWY AND SLIPPERY INTERSECTION WITHOUT HITTING ANYONE OR GETTING HIT BY SOMEONE ELSE, LUCKILY THE SNOW ON THE GROUND ACTUALLY HELPED SLOW THE VEHICLE, THE MASTER CYLINDER SHOWED MINIMAL FLUID LOSS, I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER COLD WEATHER AND AGE CAUSED THE FAILURE AND AN ESTIMATE OF ABOUT 1500 TO REPAIR . THIS HAPPENED WITHIN 7 MONTHS OF A DEALER MULTI-POINT INSPECTION WHICH SHOWED NO LEAKS AND FULL BRAKE INSPECTION BY THE DEALER WHICH INCLUDED THE BRAKE LINES AND A REQUESTED SYSTEM BLEED TO TRY TO GET THE BRAKES TO WORK PROPERLY.THE TRUCK ALSO HAS A LONG SOFT PEDAL TRAVEL WHICH GOES BELOW THE GAS PEDAL HEIGHT OF WHICH THE DEALER HAS INFORMED ME IS NORMAL AND LIKE ALL OLDER 2002 SUBURBANS. AND THE FINAL BILL FOR THE BRAKELINES WAS 1730.26 AFTER ADDING AN OIL CHANGE WHILE IT WAS THERE FOR SERVICE... GOT IT HOME AND FLUID WAS LEAKING PROFUSELY ON THE DRIVEWAY (WHERE I HAD NO LEAKS UP UNTIL THIS POINT) THE DEALER DENIED OVERFILLING THE OIL WOULD CAUSE THE LEAK AND SUGGESTED THAT THE COLD WEATHER CAUSED THE FRONT SEAL LEAK SO I HAD AGREED TO REPLACE THE FRONT SEAL WHICH WAS ANOTHER 374.44 AND THE NOTES NOW SHOW MULTIPLE OIL LEAKS.AND A REPEAT BRAKE INSPECTION SHOWS NO FA

WE WE WERE TRAVELLING AT ABOUT 75 MILES WHEN THE CAR SHUT DOWN. ALL ELECTRICAL STATUS LIGHTS AND THE ENGINE WENT OFF. WE COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND IT STARTED RIGHT AWAY. *TR

I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS PROBLEM WITH THE ABS SYSTEM FOR OVER 2 YEARS AND HAVE REPLACED ALL THE SENSORS BRAKES AND HUBS ON MY SUBURBAN, I HAVE BEEN READING ALL THE CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS AND CHEVY IS WELL AWARE OF THIS ISSUE.MY ABS SYSTEM RUNS WHEN IT WANTS PREVENTS MY CAR FROM PROPERLY STOPPING AND WHEN I REPORTED THE ISSUE THEY TOLD ME TO PULL THE FUSE SO THE PUMP WOULD SHUT OFF, SO I AM DRIVING AROUND WITH NO ABS SYSTEM AND WE JUST HAD THE SENSORS REPLACED AGAIN AS WELL AS THE HUB AND THE SAME THING IS HAPPENING WITH THE PULSATING OF THE BREAK PEDDLE AND THE RUNNING PUMP I WOULD THINK CHEVY WOULD DO A RECALL WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS.. *TR

BACKING TO HOOK UP TO TRAILER, BRAKES FAILED NO PRIOR WARNING (LIGHT). ALL BRAKE LINES NEED REPLACED AS WELL AS FUEL LINES BEGINNING TO LEAK AND WILL SOON NEED REPLACED.

I WAS APPROACHING A 4-WAY STOP SIGN IN PHILADELPHIA WHEN I NOTICED THE BRAKE PEDAL SINKING TO THE FLOOR. I HAD BEEN USING THIS VEHICLE DAILY AND HAD RECENTLY USED IT FOR A TRIP TO THE STORE. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT OR PROBLEM WITH BRAKING OR PEDAL FEEL BEFORE THIS OCCURRED. I PUMPED THE BRAKE PEDAL TO TRY TO COME TO A STOP. I DID NOT COME TO A COMPLETE STOP UNTIL I WAS INTO THE INTERSECTION BY USING THE PARKING BRAKE AND PUTTING THE TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO SAFETY WHERE I NOTICED BRAKE FLUID POURING OUT FROM AN EXTREMELY RUSTED BRAKE LINE BEHIND THE LEFT REAR TIRE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS PUSHED. FORTUNATELY, THERE WAS NO CROSS TRAFFIC OR PEDESTRIANS OR CHILDREN CROSSING THE STREET AT THE TIME. THIS HAPPENED IN A SCHOOL ZONE WHERE CHILDREN ARE ALWAYS PRESENT. *TR

THE METAL BRAKE LINES APPARENTLY HAVE RUSTED TO THE POINT OF TOTAL FAILURE. ONE METAL LINE BLEW OUT AS WE DROVE DOWN AN INCLINE I HAD TO USE THE PARKING BRAKE TO STOP. THEN TO A REPAIR SHOP AS WE WERE OUT OF TOWN. THE SHOP REPLACED THE LINE THAT BLEW OUT AND POINTED OUT THAT ALL OF THE OTHER METAL LINES WERE ABOUT TO HAVE THE SAME RUST FATIGUE FAILURE. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN REGISTERED IN VIRGINIA ALL OF ITS HISTORY. ON LINE I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PURCHACE STAINLESS STEEL BRAKE METAL LINES PRE BENT. IT WOULD SEEM TO ANY ONE THAT IF YOU CAN NOT STOP A VEHICLE DUE TO A COMMON SYSTOM FAILURE THAT COULD AN ACCIDENT OR DEATH IT MUST BE A SAFETY RECALL. *JS

WHEN BRAKING AT LESS THEN 10MPH THE ANTILOCKING BRAKING SYSTEM KICKS IN AND CAUSES THE CAR TO GO MUCH FURTHER TO STOP. THIS HAS ALMOST CAUSED AN INJURY BY MY GOING OVER A CURB. NO ANTILOCKING SHOULD OCCUR LESS THEN 10MPH - THIS IS VERY UNSAFE DUE TO THE FACT THAT BRAKING AT UNDER 10MPH FREQUENTLY INVOLVES BARRIERS IN FRONT OF THE CAR WHERE EVERY INCH OF STOPPING DISTANCE IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. ABS BRAKING IS FOR WHEN TIRES BREAK STATIC FRICTION ON THE ROAD, AND, I ASSURE YOU THAT NO FRICTION IS BEING BROKEN - THIS IS A SERIOUS FLAW! *TR

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 115,000.

WE WENT ON A FISHING TRIP FROM WILSON, NC TO NEW PORT NEWS. I DROVE ALL THE WAY THERE WITH NO PROBLEM. WE ARRIVED AT THE JAMES RIVER BRIDGE AND MY TRUCK CUT OFF. IT CRUNK UP AND ROLLED A LITTLE THEN DIED AGAIN. IT TOOK ME 25 MINUTES TO PARK. I HAD TO WAIT UNTIL IT DECIDED TO STAY ON. WE FISHED THEN WE LEFT THE NEXT MORNING. MY TRUCK DROVE GOOD WITH NO PROBLEM. IT NORMALLY TAKES US 2 HRS. TO GET BACK HOME. MY TRUCK STARED CUTTING OFF AGAIN WHEN WE GOT 40 MILES FROM HOME. IT TOOK 4 1/2 HRS. TO GET HOME FROM 40 MILES AWAY. IT WAS SO HOT. MY FAMILY HAD TO WAIT ALONG A HOT, LONG, LONELY HIGHWAY. IT STARTED CUTTING OFF MORE. I HAD THE FUEL PUMP CHANGED AND ALSO THE FILTER. IT HASN'T CUT OFF TODAY BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME BACK ON. IT'S BEEN 3 DAYS SINCE THOSE PARTS WAS REPLACED. I DON'T KNOW WHY MY SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT IS BACK ON. IT WAS OFF BEFORE IT STARTED CUTTING OFF. NOW IT STAYS ON AND NEVER GOES OFF. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 95 A THUMP WAS HEARD AND THE CAR BEGAN TO FILL WITH EXHAUST FUMES. ON EXAMINATION IT WAS FOUND THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE HINGE TO THE REAR WINDOW GLASS BROKE. SINCE THE GLASS EXTENDS UP PAST THE HINGE THE ONLY FIX WAS TO EPOXY IT. THE MECHANIC POINTED OUT THAT WHEN THE WINDOW IS BEING CLOSED IT CAN BE SEEN THAT THE HOLD OPEN STRUT IS PUTTING IMMENSE PRESSURE ON THE HINGE. EVEN IF THE WINDOW IS NEVER OPENED, THE HEATING OF THE GAS IN THE HOLD OPEN ROD PUTS PRESSURE ON THE HINGE SO I HAD THE ROD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE REMOVED. GOOGLING THIS PROBLEM SHOWED MANY, MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AT DIFFERENT MILEAGES AND TIMES. THE TWO WORST CASE SCENARIOS FROM THIS MALFUNCTION OF THE HINGE ARE THAT THE WINDOW WILL SIMPLY FALL OFF AT 70 MPH INTO FOLLOWING TRAFFIC OR, LIKE MY CASE. THE CAR WILL FILL WITH EXHAUST FUMES INCAPACITATING THE DRIVER AND THE OCCUPANTS WHILE SPEEDING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. *TR

JUST HAD TO REPLACE BRAKE LINES DUE TO SEVERE CORROSION. THIS COST ME A SMALL FORTUNE. THIS IS COVERED UNDER NHTSA ACTION # EA11001. PERFORMED SERVICE TO AVOID CATASTROPHIC EVENT.

REAR BRAKE LINE FAILED RESULTING IN LOSS OF BRAKING ABILITY. *TR

WHILE DEPRESSING BRAKES AT A COMPLETE STOP, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. I PROCEEDED AT A SLOW RATE OF SPEED AND TESTED THE BRAKE SYSTEM. THE BRAKE PEDAL HAS TO BE PUSHED ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR JUST TO GET THE VEHICLE TO COME TO A SLOW/CRAWLING STOP. AFTER INSPECTING UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE, I DISCOVERED THE LEFT REAR BRAKE LINE LEAKING. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP. *TR
