TIRES
APPROXIMATELY 6 WEEKS AGO I NOTICED THAT THE AIR PRESSURE IN MY TIRES HAD LOWERED, & I SHOUGHT WITH THE WEIGHT VARIANCE THAT THERE WASN'T A PROBLEM. I CONTACTED FIRESTONE, & THEY HAD INFORMED ME OF NO RECALL. THE PROBLEM CONTINUES, & I STOPPED BY JENOR TIRE IN THIENSVILLE, WI, & THEY INFORMED ME THAT MY FRONT RIGHT TIRE WAS SHOWING SIGNS OF SEPERATION. I PLAN ON HAVING NEW GOODYEAR TIRES INSTALLED ON MY VAN ON OCT. 3, 2000 (TIRESIZE: LT24575R16)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: LT24575R16 )

#726913August 7, 2000
POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE STICKS AFTER SEVERAL HOURS OF DRIVING (LONG TRIPS). THE NEEDLE HAS STAYED STUCK AT 70 MPH WHEN COMMING OFF OF THE EXPRESSWAY UNTIL ALMOST AT A COMPLETE STOP. IT HAS ALSO STAYED AT 20 - 30 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS GOING ABOUT 50 MPH. DEALER AND CHEVY WILL NOT AUTHORIZE REPAIRS UNTIL CONDITION CAN BE REPLICATED BY THE SERVICE DEPT. GIVEN THE INTERMITTENT NATURE OF THIS IMPORTANT SAFETY DEVICE FAILURE, IT IS NO LONGER SAFE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE FOR LONG PERIODS. UNRELATED PROBLEM, BOTH OUTSIDE REAR VIEW MIRRORS VIBRATE IN THE WIND MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE OBJECTS IN THEM. *AK
