SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
CAR ONLY HAS 40000 MILES ON IT AND WHENEVER I WOULD BRAKE OR COME UP TO A STOP LIGHT, THE WHEELS WOULD SHIMMY AND THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD VIBRATE. I WAS AFRAID IT WOULD NOT STOP AND WOULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I TOOK IT TO THE CHEVROLET DEALER IN WALDORF MD. THE MECHANIC SAID HE COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT AND COULD NOT MAKE IT DO IT. THAT WAS 2 MONTHS AGO AND IT STILL DOES IT ALL THE TIME. SOUNDS LIKE ALL THESE OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FOR THIS VEHICLE.. DEFECTIVE WARPED ROTORS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I CANNOT GET A DEALERSHIP TO FIX IT. *NLM

THIS IS A TOXIC CAR. IT HAS A MOLD PROBLEM AND IS MAKING ME SICK. THE CAR SMELLS LIKE MOLD. WE PULLED OUT ALL THE SEATS AND CARPET CLEANED EVERYTHING TO TRY TO GET IT OUT. IT STILL SMELLS LIKE MOLD. IT IS NOT THE HEATER OR AC AS THE SMELL IS COMING FROM THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE. THERE IS NO DAMPNESS BUT EVERYTHING I PUT IN THE BACK SEAT ENDS UP SMELLING LIKE MOLD. I CALL IT THE MOLD MOBILE. AFTER ABOUT 2 MINUTES, YOU CAN'T SMELL THE MOLD, SO IT MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO TRACK. THE DEALERSHIP IN WALDORF SAID IT WOULD TAKE DAYS TO LOCATE IT, BUT THEY COULD SMELL IT TOO. IT IS UNDER WARRANTY AND THERE MUST BE SOMETHING THAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS. IT MAKES ME SICK TO MY STOMACH AND I GET HEADACHES. *NLM

POWER TRAIN:AXLE ASSEMBLY
THE CONSUMER HEARD A LOUD NOISE FROM THE REAR END. THE MECHANIC BROKE DOWN THE REAR END AND FOUND THAT THE AXLE BEARINGS SHOWED VERY UNUSUAL WEAR PATTERNS THAT WERE NOT NORMAL FOR A VEHICLE WITH LITTLE MILEAGE. (REPLACED THE AXLE BEARINGS/SEALS, FRONT/REAR PINION BEARINGS, AND THE DIFFERENTIAL CARRIER BEARINGS) THE CONSUMER FEELS THAT THE PREMATURE WEAR OF THE AXLE IS AN INDICATION OF THIS BEING A DEFECTIVE COMPONENT. *SCC

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DIFFERENTIAL UNIT
NOTICED REAREND NOISE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. TURNED VEHICLE INTO DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. BAD PINON SEAL WAS CAUSE OF REAREND TO LEAK FLUID. WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. SAME PROBLEM HAS OCCURED NOW 5 TIMES IN THE LAST 14 MONTHS. TWICE THE ENTIRE REAREND HAD TO BE REBUILT WITH NEW GEARS, BEARINGS, AND SEALS. AGAIN ALL 5 CAUSES WERE THE PINON SEAL LEAKING AND CAUSING LOSS OF FLUID IN THE REAREND. REAREND MUST HAVE A MANUFACTUER DEFECT TO CAUSE 5 PINON SEALS TO LEAK IN LESS THAN 14 MONTHS AND ONLY 8,000 MILES.*AK

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DRIVESHAFT
VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED WITH 2,000 MILES ON IT AND STILL UNDER MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY.AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS FOR A FEW DAYS I NOTICED THE STEERING WHEEL SHIMMIED BACK AND FORTH. THIS WAS ANNOYING BUT NOT ENOUGH TO CAUSE CONCERN.I WANTED TO WAIT A LITTLE LONGER AND MAKE SURE THERE WERE NO OTHER ISSUES TO BRING TO THE DEALERS ATTENTION BEFORE TAKING IT IN FOR WARRANTY WORK. AT ABOUT 7,OOO MILES THE SHIMMYING BECAME MUCH MORE INTENSE AND VERY DANGEROUS WHEN BRAKING AT 50 TO 60 MPH.THIS CONDITION COULD CAUSE LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL AND COLLISION. I TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE ROTORS WERE WARPED DUE TO EXCESSIVE BRAKING AND NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.I HAD TO PAY TO HAVE THE ROTORS TURNED. I CONTACTED GENERAL MOTORS AND COMPLAINED AND HAVE NOT HEARD BACK FROM THEM. ALSO THE DRIVELINE MAKES A "TINK TINK" NOISE WHEN GOING FROM PARK TO "R" OR "D" OR WHENEVER THE LOAD CHANGES ON THE DRIVETRAIN. I WAS TOLD THE DIFFERENTIAL NEEDED SERVICING AT 7,000 MILES AT MY COST.*AK

STRUCTURE:BODY:BUMPERS
RIGHT AND LEFT FRONT FENDERS ARE NOT CONNECTED TO THE FRAME UNDER THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER WAS ASKED TO REATTACH THE RIGHT FENDER. THEY DID ATTACH IT, HOWEVER IT NOW STICKS OUT. UPON RETURNING TO THE DEALERSHIP WE REQUESTED THEY REATTACH THE FENDER SO THAT IT IS NO LONGER STICKING OUT. WE ALSO REQUESTED THAT THEY CHECK THE LEFT FENDER AS WE HAD NOTICED IT TO BE LOOSE AS WELL. THE MANAGER AT THE DEALERSHIP HAD CHECKED THE FENDERS AND SAID THAT THEY ARE NOT COVERED UNDER WARRENTY AND IT APPEARS THAT THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN BOTTOMED OUT. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN BOTTOMED OUT AND SHOWED NO SIGNS OF SUCH ON THE BOTTOM OF THE VEHICLE. HOW CAN THEY REPAIR THE RIGHT FENDER AND THEY SAY THAT THE SAME PROBLEM ON THE LEFT SIDE IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRENTY? I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE SOME ANSWERS.*AK
