1999 Chevrolet Tahoe complaints

EVER SINCE I PURCHASED THIS AUTO I HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT A FRONT END PROBLEM. THE AUTO DEALER KEPT TELLING ME IT WAS NOTHING. SENSING IT WAS A MALE/FEMALE PROBLEM I TOOK MY SON IN ONE DAY AND THEY FINALLY LOOKED AND SAID IT WAS BECAUSE I HAD "GLAZED BRAKES". THE SIUTATION DID NOT IMPROVE AFTER THE SO CALLED FIXED IT. SHORTLY THEREAFTER, I NOTICED SOMETHING VERY FUNNY ABOUT THE TIRE ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF MY VEHICLE. I HAD ALREADY HAD THE TIRES ROTATED SO THERE WOULD BE NOT REASON FOR EXCESSIVE WEAR AND BUBBLING ON ONE TIRE ONLY. I THEN TOOK THE AUTO A FRONT END ALIGNMENT SHOP. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE FRONT END WAS OUT OVER 3/4" AND COULD NOT BE ALIGNED WITHOUT PROPER MANUFACTURER ADJUSTMENT OF THE HOLES. THEY REFUSED. CHEVY HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THIS PROBLEM BY MANUFACTURING THE ELONGATED HOLE ON THE 2000 MODEL. PLEASE BE AWARE THAT NEITHER CHEVY OR MY DEALERSHIP WOULD ASSIST US. I WAS ABLE TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR AND HAVE IT DONE BEFORE I HAD A MAJOR FRONT END BLOW OUT. PLEASE, PLEASE MAKE THIS INFORMATION AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC BEFORE WE START READING ABOUT TAHOES AS WELL AS FORDS.*AK

TRUCK WAS TAKEN IN REPEATEDLY FOR BRAKES, TRANSMISSION, AIR CONDITIONER AND HEADLIGHTS PRIOR TO WARRANTY EXPIRATION AND WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM OR IT WAS UNDER "CHEV SPECS" OR WE WERE EXPERIENCING ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. WATER PUMP BEGAN LEAKING AND HAD TO BE REPLACED 2200 MILES OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY. ENTIRE BRAKE SYSTEM, LINES-CALIPERS, EVERYTHING HAD TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE "FOREIGN FLUID CORRODED" THE SYSTEM. NO ONE HAS TOUCHED THE BRAKES BUT THE DEALER. WE REPEATEDLY COMPLAINED ABOUT THE BRAKES TAKING TOO LONG TO STOP THE VEHICLE, HAVING A SPONGY FEEL AND ABSOLUTELY NO CONFIDENCE THAT THEY WOULD STOP IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION. OVERALL, THE BRAKES JUST DID NOT FEEL SAFE AND WE REPORTED THIS WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. INTAKE MANIFOLD IS LEAKING AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. BATTERY EXPLODED AND LEAKED BATTERY ACID EVERYWHERE DAMAGING OTHER ENGINE PARTS. TRANSMISSION IS IN NEED OF AN OVERHAUL/REPLACEMENT EITHER AS A DIRECT RESULT OF THE BATTERY EXPLODING OR MERE COINCIDENCE CONSIDERING WE HAVE ALWAYS COMPLAINED THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND YOU COULD PUSH THE TRUCK WHILE IN PARK A FULL FOOT. THE AIR CONDITIONER HAS ALWAYS LEAKED AFTER DRIVING APPROX. 2 HR AS WELL AS THE DRIVER'S SIDE HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHT ALWAYS HAS WATER IN IT. DETAILED COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN FILED WITH THE ATTORNEY GENERALS OF AZ AND FL, AS WELL AS COPIES SENT TO THE DEALER, MANUFACTURER AND LEASING COMPANY INVOLVED. CHEVROLET SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THE SHODDY PRODUC

THE RIGHT REAR UNIROLYAL TIGER PAW TIRE BLEWOUT WHILE DRIVING (TIRE SIZE P235/75R15).

I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET THE TRUCK REPAIRED BY NUMEROUS DEALERS SINCE THE DAY WE BOUGHT IT. THE TRUCK HAD 823 MILES ON IT WHEN WE BOUGHT IT "NEW" LATER ON FOUND OUT IT WAS A "DEMO". ARBITRATION DID NOTHING. WE STILL HAVE THE SHAKING TRUCK. OUT OF DESPIRATION FROM THE VEHICLE SHAKING VIOLENTLY, CAUSING ME TO PASS BLOODY STOOLS, I DECIDED TO REPLACE THE DIFFERENTIAL MYSELF. IT SEEMS TO HAVE CURED THE PROBLEM. NOW THAT THE DIFFERENTIAL IS OUT, I CAN SEE THAT IT IS BENT AND THE AXLES CRYSTALIZING DUE TO THE VIOLENT SHAKING. CHEVROLET DEALERS NOW SAY THAT I HAVE "VOIDED" MY 3 YR 36,000 MILE WARRANTY. SEVERAL CHEVROLET SERVICE CONSULTANTS RUDE AND THREATENING TO HANG UP ON ME. I DID HAVE A VERY GOOD SERVICE CONSULTANT WHOM I HAVE SPOKEN TO LATELY WHO WAS SHOCKED AT MY ORDEAL AND AGREES WITH ME THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I AM NOW TRYING TO GET REIMBURSED FOR MY OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSES ON MY "WARRANTIED" VEHICLE. I DO NOT WISH TO BE REIMBURSED FOR MY TIME, DIAGNOSING AND REPAIRING THIS TRUCK, BUT PERHAPS THE PROBLEM SHOULD BE AKNOWLEDGED BY CHEVROLET AND SOMEHOW REIMBURSED BY THEM. IF I HAD NOT CHANGED THE DIFFERENTIAL MYSELF, I FEEL THAT IT SURELY WOULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT AND DEATHS DUE TO THE FAILURE OF CHEVROLET NOT TAKING CARE OF THIS. I FEEL THAT BEFORE WE BOUGHT THIS TRUCK, SOMEONE REALLY ROMPED IT THROUGH THE DESERT. IT HAD REALLY LARGE TIRES ON IT THAT WE HAD THE DEALER CHANGE TO WHAT WAS RECCOMENDED ON THE DOOR PANEL. WE ASKED A MECHANIC WHO WORKS ON TRUCKS ALL T

EXPERIENCED EXCESSIVE VIBRATION WHEN BRAKING. MECHANIC ADVISED THAT ROTORS WERE WARPED AND NEEDED TO BE TURNED. THIS WAS DONE BUT PROBLEM REOCCURRED AFTER LESS THAN 5,000 MI. ADVISED THIS TIME THAT ROTORS ARE WARPED AGAIN AND NEED TO BE REPLACED, PROBABLY DUE TO "THE WAY I DRIVE". I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN WITH OTHER VEHICLES. AFTER ASKING THAT THEY LOOK FURTHER FOR A CAUSE, I AM TOLD THAT THIS IS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. AFTER PUSHING A LITTLE HARDER, I AM FINALLY ADVISED THAT THE ROTORS ON THIS YEAR/MODEL ARE PRONE TO WARPING AND SHOULD BE REPLACED, BUT ARE NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH I PUCHASED EXTENDED WARRANTY. I AM TOLD THAT THE GM REPLACEMENT PART WILL BE IDENTICAL TO ORIGINAL. REAR BRAKES WERE SCREECHING @27489 MI (I PURCHASED AT 23326 MI). TOLD THAT SHOES NEAD REPLCMT DUE TO WEAR. I, NOR ANYONE I HAVE SPOKEN WITH HAVE HEARD OF REAR BRAKE SHOES WEARING OUT AT THIS LOW MILEAGE. *AK

AT ANY SPEED, BRAKES ONLY WORK IF PEDAL IS PUSHED TO FLOOR, NEED LOTS OF STOPPING TIME. DEALER SAID THAT WAS THE WAY TAHOE'S WORK. FINALLY REPLACED THEM SOMEWHERE ELSE. THEY USED AN UPGRADE THAT THEY SAID TAHOES HAVE FOR THE 2000 YEAR. ALSO BOTH BACK DRUMS CRACKED.*AK

VEHICLE SHUDDERS WHEN BRAKING FROM HIGH SPEEDS, AND PULLS TO THE SIDE WHEN BRAKING FROM LOW SPEEDS, VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE RIGHT FRONT HUB LEAKED GREASE ON THE PAD AND BRAKE DRUM RENDERING THE BRAKES USELESS, THE CAUSE WAS A SEAL LEAKING, FOUR MONTHS LATER CONSUMER EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS AGAIN, MECHANIC FOUND THAT BOTH REAR AXLE SEALS HAD LEAKED GREASE/OIL ON BOTH REAR BRAKES RENDERING THEN USELESS AND CAUSING EXCESSIVE WEAR ON THE FRONT BRAKES, CONSUMER REQUESTED THAT THE REAR AXLE BE REPLACED ENTIRELY WHICH WOULD PROBABLY ELIMINATE THE BRAKE FAILURE, HOWEVER DEALER STATED THAT THEY ONLY REPLACED THE AXLE SEALS.*JB

ALL THE ENGINE OIL LEAKED OUT OF THE ENGINE IN A SPAN OF FIFTEEN MINUTES DURING A THREE MILE DRIVE. NLM

WHEN YOU HIT THE BRAKES, THEY DON'T SEEM TO STOP QUICK ENOUGH. I HIT MY BRAKES ON THE HIGHWAY TO EVOID AN ACCIDENT, THEY FIRST LOCKED UP, THEN LET GO, I HAD TO PULL TO THE SHOOULDER TO EVOID HITTING ANOTHER CAR. *AK

WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 30 MPH TRANSMISSION WENT OUT, NO PRIOR WARNING, MILEAGE AT THE TIME WAS 27000. *AL

WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 30 MPH CONSUMER APPLIED BRAKES, PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR, NO BRAKING ACTION. TOWED TO DEALER, WHO FOUND POWER BOOSTER HAD FAILED, AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. *AK

WHILE DRIVING STEERING WOULD JERK VEHICLE TO LEFT AND RIGHT AT ANY SPEED. TOOK VEHICLE DEALER, WHO TOLD CONSUMER TO REPLACE CONNECTOR, THAT REMEDIED THE PROBLEM.*AK

WHEN TAKING OFF OR STOPPING THERES A SQUEALING NOISE COMING FROM REAR. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER, AND THEY SAID DRIVESHAFT NEEDED TO BE LUBED. *AK

WHEN ABS BRAKES ENGAGE, THERE IS A "SCREECHING" OR "LOUD MOANING" NOISE, AND ABS FAILS TO BRING VEHICLE TO A STOP. CONSUMER HAS NOT TAKEN VEHICLE TO REPAIR SHOP TO BE EXAMINED. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION/ATTACHMENTS. *AK

COULD NOT STOP ALMOST WRECKED! REPLACEMENT COST ALMOST $500. VERY DANGEROUS!!!. NO SAFETY DEFECT MENTIONED. *AK

VEHICLE HIT A TREE. UPON IMPACT, SEAT BELT DID NOT RETRACT, AND AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, RESULTING IN INJURIES.*AK

POWER WINDOW IS COMPLETELY INOPERABLE, AND UNFORTUNATELY IS IN THE DOWN POSITION. 2000 SUBURBAN AT WORK-SAME PROBLEM EXCEPT R.R. WINDOW, AND IT IS IN THE UP POSITION.*AK

CONSUMER WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 30MPH ON HIGHWAY AND WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING FRONT WNT INTO SHOULDERS OF A STEEP HILL. 45 DEGREE ANGLE, AND VEHICLE HIT A TREE. UPON IMPACT, DUAL BAGS DIDN'T GO OFF. DEALERSHIP WAS AWARE OF PROBLEM.*AK

WHEN TAKING FOOT OF GAS PEDAL VEHICLE WILL CONTINUE AT CURRENT SPEED WITHOUT SLOWING DOWN. IN ORDER TO SLOW VEHICLE DOWN, CONSUMER MUST APPLY BRAKES. WHEN CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP, THEY INSTALLED AN IDLE AIR CONTROL VALVE WHICH CORRECTED THIS DEFECT FOR APPROXIMATELY 4,000 MILES. "CRUISE" DEFECT HAPPENED AGAIN, AND THE IDLE AIR CONTROL VALVE WAS REPLACED BY A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP. AT 29,000 MILES, ENGINE WILL BACK DOWN APPROXIMATELY 5 TO 10 SECONDS AFTER THE CONSUMER REMOVES FOOT FROM GAS PEDAL. *AK THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND STATED THE CONDITION OF THE VEHICLE AS NORMAL. *YH

ENGINE JUST STOPS RUNNING WITHOUT WARNING OR SYMPTOMS AS IF THE KEY WERE TURNED OFF. STARTS AGAIN WITHOUT PROBLEM.. NO WARNING LIGHTS ON DASH EXCEPT BATTERY SYMBOL AT TIME OF STALL. COULD BE FATAL IF PASSING ON 2 LANE.. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ON FREEWAY. COUNTLESS HOURS TRYING TO LOCATE PROBLEM TO NO AVAIL... I TRADED THE CAR. UNSAFE TO DRIVE.. WORRIED IT WILL BE SOLD WITHOUT BEING FIXED. *AK

TAIL LIGHTS AND TURN SIGNAL LIGHTS KEEP BLOWING OUT. REPLACED BULBS AND WIRING HARNESS ON THREE OCCASIONS WITHIN NINE MONTHS. DEALER NOTIFIED, AND REPLACE THEM. BUT, PROBLEM STILLOCCURRING. FEEL FREE TO PROVIDE ANY FURTHER DETAILS ON THIS MATTER.

CONSUMER WAS TRAVELING 65MPH ON HIGHWAY AND STEERING WAS LEAKING. STEERING PUMP WENT OUT 70,000 MILES, AND HAD TO BE REPLACED.*AK

THE FLOATING DRIVESHAFT WAS INADEQUATELY LUBED CAUSING A POPPING NOISE AT THE DRIVESHAFT YOKE, THE CONSUMER BELIEVES THIS PROBLEM CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION. NLM

FAILURE CAUSED STEERING AT SPEED TO BE DANGEROUSLY SENSITIVE AND STEERING WOULD TORQUE TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT WHEN DECELERATING ON AN OFF-RAMP WHEN SENSOR TRIED TO SWITCH LEVEL OF STEERING ASSIST, AS IF RUNNING OFF ROAD ONTO SHOULDER. DEALER STATES THIS IS A PROBLEM THEY HAVE SEEN AND REPLACED SENSOR OUT OF WARRANTY. WAS NOT OBVIOUS WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS UNTIL I REALIZED THE VEHICLE HAD SPEED SENSITIVE STEERING. MOST DRIVERS WOULD NEVER REALIZE FAILURE HAD OCCURED. SIGNIFICANT PROBABILITY OF CONTRIBUTING TO A LOSS OF CONTROL ACCIDENT.

EXCESSIVE WEARING OF BRAKE PADS, BRAKE SHOES DUE TO THE INTERMITTENT ENGAGEMENT OF THE POWER BOOSTER WHILE DRIVING. TOOK VEHICLE WHEN IT FIRST HAD THIS PROBLEM TO TWO DIFFERENT CHEVROLET DEALERSHIPS AND WAS TOLD THAT BECAUSE I COULD NOT PROVE THE BOOSTER'S PREMATURE TRIGGERING THAT IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, IN OTHER WORDS THEY TOLD ME IF WE DON'T SEE IT AS BEING BROKEN WE AREN'T FIXING IT.. THEY DID NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THE EXISTANCE OF A SAFETY BULLETING SAYING IN FACT THAT THE POWER BOOSTER WAS PRONE TO FAILURE. SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD TO CHANGE OUT THE BRAKE PADS TWICE AT MY OWN EXPENSE. I REPLACED ALL PARTS WITH GMAC FACTORY PARTS AND REPLACED THE POWER BOOSTER WITH A GM REBUILT POWER BOOSTER. *AK

THE TRANSMISSION FAILED WHILE DRIVING. NLM

WHILE DEPRESSING BBRAKE PEDAL VEHICLE CONTINUED TO TRAVEL WITHOUT ANY INDICATION THAT PEDAL WAS AT FLOORBOARD. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION*AK

I WAS 20 MILES FROM HOME GOING 64 MPH, ON A SLIGHT CURVE. I HEARD AND FELT THE BACK TIRE BLOW THE TIRE WALL FROM THE POINT OF TIRE WEAR TO THE CENTER. I WAS SHOCKED AT THE DAMAGE.. THE TAHOE LEANED SEVERELY TO THE RIGHT, BUT REMAINED UPRIGHT. I HELD THE STEERING WHEEL TIGHT AND STRAIGHT. AND EASED THE TAHOE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE TAHOE WAS HARD TO CONTROL, BUT WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. WHEN THE TIRE BLEW THE TAHOE LEANED SEVERELY TO THE RIGHT. WHEN I GOT OUT OF THE TAHOE, I DISCOVERED THE TIRE HAD SUFFERED CATASTROPHIC FAILURE. THE TIRE COMPLELEY COLLASPED. THE SIDE WALL COMPLETELY BLOW AWAY. THIS TIRE WAS A FULL SIZE SPARE WITH ONLY 4000 MILES ON IT. SQUARE CHUNKS WHERE REMOVED FROM PART OF THE SIDEWALL. THERE WERE A NUMBER OF TEARS IN THE TIRE. FROM THE POINT OF THE TREAD TO THE CENTER.. I CALLED MY HUSBAND ON THE CELL PHONE; HE WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A TRIAL (HE'S AN ATTORNEY). HE DROVE THE 20 MILES TO THE SITE AND HE WAS SHOCKED AT THE DAMAGE. WE CALLED A TOW TRUCK THE WHEEL ITSELF WAS DAMAGED. AT THIS TIME WE DO NOT KNOW IF THE REAR AXLE IS DAMAGED, IT WILL BE CHECKED OUT TOMORROW. IT'S AT THE DEALERSHIP NOW. NO ONE HAD SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT. THIS WAS NOT A FLAT, IT WAS AN ENTIRE BLOWOUT. WE STILL HAVE POSSESSION OF THE DEFECTIVE TIRE AND PHOTOS WERE TAKEN AT THE SCENE AND AT THE DEALERSHIP.*AK (TIRESIZE: P2451/76R1)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P2451/76R1 )

THE BATTERY POSITIVE LEAKED ONTO THE BRAKE LINE WHICH IN TURN ATE THROUGH THE BRAKE LINE AND A LOSS OF BRAKE FLUID AND BRAKES WITHOUT WARNING HAPPENED. I WAS TRAVELING AT 40MPH WHEN WENT TO APPLY THE BRAKES AND THEY WENT SLOWLY TO THE FLOOR AS I WAS STOPPING AND THEN DROPPED TO FLOOR AND I WENT THRU THE MIDDLE OF A INTERSECTION (I THANK GOD THAT TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT). I SEE THAT IN THIS DATA BASE THAT THIS IS COMMON PROBLEM AND I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT THIS IS NOT A RECALL. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO BE HURT OF KILLED BEFORE GMC DOES SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. I HAVE PURCHASED 8 NEW GM VEHICLES IN THE LAST 10 YEARS AND IF THIS IS THE WAY THEY ARE GOING TO TREAT CUSTOMERS, I WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER. NEEDLESS TO SAY THE VEHICLE WILL BE FOR SALE AS SOON AS IT IS FIXED AND ANOTHER BRAND WILL BE CONSIDERED. *AK

ABS WILL WORK INTERMITTENTLY WHEN APPLYING BRAKES. PEDAL GOES HARD, THEN BRAKES WILL WORK. ONCE ABS FAILED COMPLETELY. *AK ABS FAILED AGAIN GOING THROUGH A 4 WAY STOP, LUCKILY THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC AT THE TIME. *SLC

MY TAHOE HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN FOR REPAIRS 6 TIMES FOR A KNOCKING OR CRUNCHING NOISE WHEN TURNING STOPPING OR GOING OVER BUMPS. THE DEALER HAS CHANGED BOTH REAR SPRINGS,SHACKLES, U-BOLTS AND RE-TOURQUED THE FRONT CONTROL ARMS, TRANS CROSS MEMBER BOLTS, FUEL TANK MOUNTING STRAPS AND BRACKETS TO PROPER SPECS. THE VEHICLE CONTIUES TO MAKE THIS NOISE. *AK

WEATHER STRIPPING JUST SIMPLY FELL OFF OF BACK (BARN) DOORS. *AK

BATTERY POST BROKE LOOSE FROM BATTERY AND BATTERY ACID LEAKED FROM BATTERY ONTO FRAME MEMBERS AND ELECTRICAL WIRE HARNESS DIRFECTLY BELOW BATTERY WITH CONSIDERABLE CORROSION TO INSULATION. DEALER REPLACED DEFECTIVE BATTERY UNDER WARRANTY WITH SAME BATTERY MODEL, BUT ACCNOWLEDGED THAT GM HAD REDESIGN A NEW BATTERY (PLANTINUM) DUE TO HEAT AND VIRBRATION PROBLEMS FROM 1995 TO CURRENT ON TRUCK AND SUV'S. DEALER SAID THAT GM HAD NOT RECALL ON EXISTING BATTERYIES OR ANY POLICY TO REPLACE AT OWNER REQUEST THE OLD DEFECTIVE DESIGNED BATTERIES WITH THE NEW REDESIGNED PLANTINUM MODEL. DEALER INC CA, , IN MONTANA AND AAA ACKNOWLEGED THAT THESE BATTERIES ARE FAILING IN LARGE QUANTIES. I FILLED A FORMAL COMPLAINT WITH GM CUSTOMER SERVICE ON FAILLURE OF GM TO RECALL AND TO OFFER NEW MODEL BATTERY TO OWNERS WITH FAILUES....TODAY NO RESPONSE ON CORRECTIVE ACTION RECEIVED FOR GM. GM MAGAIZNE ARTICLE ALSO WROTE ON NEW IMPROVED DELCO PLANTINUM BATTERY'S IMPROVED DESIGN FOR BOTH HEAT AND AFFECTS OF VIBRATION. FAILURE OF BATTERY APPEARENTLY IS CAUSE BY GM HAVING ADDED THE SECOND BATTERY CABLE TO THE POSITIVE POST WHICH FAILS UNDER NORMAL ROAD VIBRATION DUE TO THE EXTRA STRESS ON THE POST ASSEMBLY. OUR DEALER DID NOT REPAIR THE DAMAGE TO THE FRAME PROTECTIVE COATINGS OR THE WIRING HARNESS.

TRANSMISSION STUCK IN 3RD GEAR. UPON DEALER DIAGNOSIS THEY FOUND TRANSMISSION HARNESS CHAFED WITHIN THE TRANSMISSION HOUSING. THIS COMPONENT IS NOT EXPOSED TO OUTSIDE ELEMENTS. BECAUSE IT IS WIRING WITH NO EXPOSURE, THE INSULATION ON THE WIRE SHOULD NOT DETERIORATE UNLESS SUBJECTED TO EXTREME HIGH TEMPERATURES OR RUBBING. *AK

THE VEHICLES DRIVETRAIN CAUSES VIBRATION. NLM

POWER STEERING IS ERRATIC ON CURVES, MOSTLY TO THE LEFT. TENDS TO OVERSTEER SUDDENLY WHEN ENGAGED. VERY TRICKY WHEN ROAD CONDITIONS ARE NOT OPTIMAL,I.E., RAIN. HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY SO IT CAN CATCH YOU OFFGUARD. DANGER OF AN ACCIDENT IS IMMINENT IF NOT CORRECTED SOON.

WHEEL BEARING SIEZED UP, RESULTING IN A FIRE. *AK

CONSUMER WAS TRAVELING 55MPH ON HIGHWAY AND ANOTHER VEHICLE RAN IN FRONT, AND CONSUMER'S VEHICLE HIT OTHER VEHICLE BROADSIDE. UPON IMPACT, AIRBAGS DIDN'T GO OFF.*AK

BRAKES REQUIRED REPLACEMENT AT 10,000 WHICH WAS ONE YEAR AGO AND ARE NOW BEING REPLACED AGAIN AT 21,000. WHEN CONTACTING MANUFACTURER, THEY REPORTED NORMAL USAGE, WHICH IS OBSURD.*AK

CONSUMER STATES BRAKE SFAILED WITHIN THE FIRST 2000 MILES AND THE DEALER HAS FAILED TO PROVIDED A REMEDY FOR THE PROBLEM.YD

MY VEHICLE HAD NO FAILURE. I AM CONCERNED THAT MY 3 YEAR OLD CAN FAR TOO EASILY UNBUCKLE HIMSELF. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE AN ITEM THAT WOULD PREVENT HIM FROM DOING SO. *AK

WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED VEHICLE EXPERIENCES EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. DEALER HAS INSPECTED VEHICLE, AND HAS NOT BBEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE OR CORRECT PROBLEM. *AK

THE CONSUMER STATED THAT THE BRAKES FAILED COMPLETELY AND CONTACTED THREE DEALERS. THE DEALERS FAILED TO CORRECT THESE BRAKE DEFECTS. *YH

INTERMITTENTLY VEHICLE SWAYS FROM SIDE TO SIDE. DEALER HAS REPAIRED VEHICLE TWICE.*AK THE CUSTOMER THINKS THE PRE SET FRONT END COULD BE POSSIBLE CAUSE. *YH

DEALER GAVE CONSUMER FRONT & BACK BRAKES ALL THE AROUND & THEY WERE JUST CHANGED. BRAKES WERE ALWAYS PURCAHSED FROM DEALER (DELCO). BRAKE DRUMS PADS & ROTORS WERE CHANGED. DEALER WAS SAYING IT WAS NORMAL WEAR. LAST TIME THEY WERE CHANGED WAS IN AUGUST.*AK

THE 10/22/00 DEFECT WAS TAKEN TO A CHEVROLET DEALER IN MICHIGAN. IT WAS FIXED AND WE GOT THE VEHICLE BACK ON 10/27/00. ON OUR TRIP BACK TO INDIANA ON 10/30/00, THE DIFFERENTIAL FLUID WAS FLYING OUT AND IT STARTED THE HIGH PITCH HUMMING AGAIN. THAT WAS BASICALLY TWICE IT WENT OUT IN ONE WEEK! AS OF THIS DATE, 11/2/00, IT IS BACK TO A DEALER IN BLOOMINGTON, INDIANA. *AK

THE POSITIVE TERMINAL ON THE ORIGINAL DELCO BATTERY BROKE OFF, LEAKING ACID DOWN THE WHEEL WELL ONTO THE RIGHT FRONT BRAKE LINES AND THE ABS ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR TO THE RIGHT FRONT BRAKE. THE ACID CORRODED THE BRAKE LINE, ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR, AND REMOVED THE PAINT ON THE FRAME AND LOWER A-FRAME. THE FAILURE OCCURED IN OUR DRIVEWAY AND THE VEHICLE WAS DISABLED. HAD TO BUY A NEW BATTERY AND 2 CANS OF BATTERY ACID CLEANER TO REMOVE THE ACID IN THE RIGHT SIDE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND LOWER FRAME ASSEMBLY. THE BRAKE PROBLEM OCCURED AS MY WIFE WAS DRIVING HOME. SHE SAID THAT THE STEERING WAS SHAKING AND RUMBLING. IT WAS PULLING TO ONE SIDE. I FOUND THE LEFT FRONT CALIPER HAD SEIZED IN THE CRADLE ASSEMBLY AND WORN THE OUTER PAD TO LESS THAN A TENTH OF AN INCH. SHE SAID IT HAD BEEN SQUEALING FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS. THE RIGHT SIDE WAS OK, BUT, I CHANGED ALL FRONT PADS ANY HOW. I HAD TO CLEAN RUST FROM THE CALIPER AND MOUNT TO ALLOW MOVEMENT IN THE ASSEMBLY. I STILL HAVE THE BAD BATTERY AND THE BRAKE PADS. *AK

BRAKES FAILED AT 19,443 MILES. BOTH PADS AND RIGHT ROTOR NEEDED REPLACEMENT. DEALERSHIP WILL NOT STAND BEHIND WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE SERVICE BULLETINS OUT ON BOTH THE BRAKES AND ROTORS.

VEHICLE STALLED OUT DUE TO A FIRE STARTED BY THE FUEL PUMP, WHICH BURNT THROUGH THE GAS TANK.*AK WIRE GOING TO FUEL PUMP SHORTED OUT ON FRAME CAUSING FIRE RESULTING IN DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. *YH
