SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:RECLINER, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
MY ABS LIGHT GOES ON FREQUENTLY. I HAVE BEEN IN A COUPLE OF ALMOST COLLISIONS. IN SLOW MOVING TRAFFIC, THE SENSOR GOES ON AND FREEZES MY BRAKES. MY CAR HAS BEEN TO DEALERSHIP AND TO REPAIR CENTERS AND ALL COMPANIES SAY THEY THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. THE SOLUTION EACH TIME WAS JUST TO REPLACE THE SENSOR, HOWEVER, EVEN DRIVING OUT OF DEALERSHIP THE ABS LIGHT WENT ON. I HAVE READ IN THE PAST SIMILAR INSTANCES WITH ABS PROBLEMS, IS THERE EVER GOING TO BE A RECALL, OR IS IT GOING TO TAKE A SERIOUS LAWSUIT/ACCIDENT BEFORE THE PROBLEM GETS FIXED? I ALSO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE RIGHT PASSENGER SEAT HANDLE BREAKING, AND IT IS STILL BROKEN. *JB

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER:MOTOR
MY 98 BLAZER'S WINDSHIELD WIPERS HAVE A MIND OF THEIR OWN. THEY COME ON BY THEMSELVES, GO OFF WHEN THEY WANT TO. ON INTERMITTENT, THEY DO WHATEVER SPEED THEY FEEL LIKE DOING, AND CAN SHUT THEMSELVES OFF AT ANYTIME (IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THEY WERE JUST TURNED ON OR NOT). IT IS DANGEROUS AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS YEAR (THERE'S BEEN ONE ON EVERY OTHER YEAR)! PLEASE HELP RESOLVE THIS SITUATION GM! *JB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
NO HEAT AT 50,000 MILES --VEHICLE COOLING SYSTEM FLUSHED BY INDEPENDENT GARAGE 12-31-02. DEX-COOL RENEWED AT THIS TIME. COST $160.00. IN APRIL 2003 NO HEAT AGAIN. I DRAINED DEX-COOL AND USED SYSTEM CLEANER TWICE FOR APPROXIMATELY 6 HOURS EACH TIME WITH HEATER ON. I FILLED SYSTEM WITH REGULAR PRESTONE GLYCOL BASED ANTIFREEZE. NO PROBLEMS TO DATE. THE ORIGINAL DEX-COOL WAS A MUDDY SLUDGE WHEN REPLACED AND THE SECOND CHARGE OF DEX-COOL WAS ALREADY CHANGING COLORS AND THICKENING AFTER ONLY 4 MONTHS WHEN IT TOO WAS REPLACED. DEX-COOL DOES NOT LIVE UP TO THE MANUFACTURERS CLAIMS OR THE DEALERS REPRESENTATIONS. I AM A FEDERALLY LICENSED AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE TECHNICIAN WORKING FOR A MAJOR AIRLINE FOR 14 YEARS AND WOULD BE HAPPY TO GIVE A DEPOSITION IN REGARDS TO THIS MATTER. *NLM
