SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK
I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE MASTER CLYNINDAL, ROTOR AND BRAKES 4 TIMES SINCE PURCHASE. THE MOST RECENT, 12/30/98, WAS 1 MONTH AFTER THE 3RD TIME. THE BRAKES FADE, GRIND AND DISAPPEAR ALTOGETHER. I HAVE JUST MISSED MANY ACCIDENTS. THE CAR IS CURRANTLY IN THE SHOP AFTER LOOSING THE BRAKES COMPLETELY. THE REPAIR MANAGER HAS TOLD ME IT IS NOW THE AIR HOSE FOR THE ANTILOCK BRAKES AND THAT MY REAR BRAKES WERE COMPLETELY GONE. I HAVE HAD TO PAY FOR 3 OF THESE BRAKES JOBS FOR A TOTAL OF $900. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE THIS CAR. I SEEN ON THE COMPLAINT LISTING FOR MY CAR NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM, SOME WITH INJURIES. THE PARTS USED TO REPAIR MUST ALSO BE DEFECTIVE. CHEVY MUST BE WAITING FOR PEOPLE TO DIE BEFORE THERE IS ACTION TAKEN. THE MANAGER AT THE DEALERSHIP IS ALSO IS STUMPED. THEY HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING. THEY APPEAR TO BE SINCERE AND HELPFUL. I AM AT WITS END. I CAN NOT CONTINUE TO PAY FOR WHAT MUST BE A DEFECT IN THE CAR DESIGN. I MUST WONDER HOW MANY PEOPLE MAY HAVE DIED FROM THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE NOT BEEN RECONIZED? PLEASE ASSIST ME IN RESOLVING THIS. I AM NOT GETTING ANYWHERE AND FEAR FOR MY LIFE. TRADING IN THE CAR IS NOT A GOOD OPTION FOR ME AT THIS TIME. THANK YOU, JOYCE KAMAN.

SEATS
THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE OUTER SEAT RISER ON THE DIVER SEAT. I WENT TO GET IN MY CAR AND THE SEAT RISER SNAPPED AND THE SEAT ROCKED ALL THE WAY TO THE BACKSEAT. I REMOVED THE SEAT TO INSPECT IT AND FOUND THAT THE OUTER TRACK THAT THE SEAT RIDES ON WAS BROKEN AND THIS IS WHAT CAUSED THE SEAT RISER TO BREAK. WITH THE TRACK BROKEN IT WAS PLACING TOO MUCH PRESSURE ON THE SEAT RISER WHEN I WOULD SIT DOWN IN THE SEAT. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A FLAW IN THE PART AND A RECALL SHOULD BE MADE. I HAD TO DRIVE 25 MILES TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH THE SEAT ROCKING BACK. I HAVE CONTACTED CHEVROLET ABOUT THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THE PRICE TO REPLACE THE PART IS OUTRAGEOUS. $658 FOR THE REPLACEMENT SEAT RISER. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. I HOPE THAT THE APPROPRIATE MEASURES WILL BE TAKEN TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM.
