SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:POWER ASSIST:VACUUM
I WAS GOING 55 MPH ON BELTWAY. I DISCOVERED THAT MY BRAKES WERE VERY HARD TO PUSH AND COULD NOT STOP. PULLED OFF TO SHOULDER AND COULD NOT PICK UP ANY ACELERATION. I HAD THE CAR TAKEN IMMEDIATELY TO DEALER FOR CHECK-UP. THE DEALER (FOX) ADVISED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER HOSE FROM THE MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER BECAME LOOSE AND WAS "CRIMPED" NEAR THE HOOD AND FIRE WALL. THIS RESULTED IN THE FLOW OF VACUUM PRESSURE BEING COMPROMISED AND STOPPING. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER HOSE HAD TO BE "REPOSITIONED." THIS CORRECTED BOTH PROBLEMS OF FAILED BRAKING AND LACK OF ACCELLERATION. THE DEALER WOULD NOT OR COULD NOT FULLY EXPLAIN IF THIS WAS A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM OR WAS A RESULT OF HUMAN ERROR WHEN WORK IS PERFORMED ON THE CAR. THE DEALER WOULD NOT REPLACE THE "CRIMPED" BOOSTER HOSE. LOST OF BRAKES WHEN GOING HIGHWAY SPEEDS WAS QUITE UPSETTING. I THOUGHT I WOULD PASS THIS COMPLAINT ON FOR YOU REVIEW AND ANY ACTION YOU DEEM FIT. IF THIS IS A SAFTY PROBLEM, PERHAPS A TECH BULLETIN OR WARNING SHOULD BE ISSUED BY CHEV. THANK YOU. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME FOR ANY OTHER INFORMATION REQUIRED ON YOUR PART.*AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHEN EXITING THE CAR, PERSONS OPENING DOOR RECEIVE SHOCK. THIS IS VERY PAINFUL AND CAUSES PERSON TO JUMP. THE DEALER COULD NOT COME UP WITH ANY REASON FOR THIS AND SAID THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING FOR US. WE HAVE TRIED STATIC GUARD AND INSTALLATION ON A GATES STATIC STRAP TO CAR WITH NO CHANGE. ALL PARTS OF CAR APPEAR TO BE CONNECTED WHEN CHECKED FOR CONTINUITY. PLEASE LET US KNOW IF THEIR IS SOMETHING WE CAN DO OR IF THERE IS ANY OTHERS WITH THIS PROBLEM.

SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:POWER ADJUST
THE FRONT TWO SEAT ANCHORS ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE HAVE SHEARED OFF. I COULD UNDERSTAND IF THE BOLTS CAME LOOSE OR SOMETHING, BUT THESE ARE CLEARLY STRUCTURAL FAILURE. SINCE IT IS THE SEAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT IT IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE THAT THESE COMPONENTS HAVE FAILED. I CAN UNDERSTAND NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR, BUT THE METAL USED IN SEAT MOUNTS SHOULDN'T SHEAR UNDER NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. AND NO, MY WIFE AND I DON'T WEIGH 400LBS OR SOMETHING. ;) THANX FOR ANY HELP YOU CAN PROVIDE.
