SUSPENSION:FRONT
I WAS A VICTIM OF THE MAY 1999 TORNADOS. MY HOME AND PREVIOUS AUTO WERE COMPLETELY DESTROYED BY THE STORM. SMICKLAS CHEVROLET KNEW I WAS DESPERATE WHEN I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK NEW ON MAY 12, 1999. THE TRUCK WAS A DEMONSTRATOR, WITH 3585 MILES ON IT. AFTER I HAD IT ABOUT TWO AND = MONTHS, AND HAD DRIVEN IT LESS THAN 4,500 MILES, A SERIOUS VIBRATION APPEARED IN THE STEERING WHENEVER THE TRUCK REACHED ABOUT 60 MILES/HOUR. THE SHIMMY IS PRESENT ALL THE TIME AT HIGHWAY SPEED, AND SOMETIMES THE TRUCK ALSO PULLS TO THE RIGHT. BETWEEN JULY OF 1999 AND JULY OF 2000, I BROUGHT THE TRUCK BACK TO SMICKLAS SEVEN TIMES TO HAVE THE STEERING DEFECT CORRECTED. I HAVE SERVICE RECORDS FOR THOSE OCCASIONS (7/31/99, 8/21/99, 8/24/99, 9/28/99, 10/20/99, 11/17/99 AND 7/17/00). SMICKLAS JUST KEPT FOOLING WITH THE TIRES AND WHEEL ALIGNMENT, EVEN THOUGH IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN OBVIOUS AFTER THE FIRST THREE TRIES THAT THIS WAS NOT THE PROBLEM. THE STEERING DEFECT IS STILL THERE.

AIR BAGS
I CONTACTED SARAH SCHILLE OF GENERAL MOTORS ABOUT THIS FAILURE.SHE SENT AN INVESTIGATOR TO TOM BENSON TO LOOK AT THE TRUCK. HE DID WHATEVER HE DOES TO COLLECT DATA FROM THE VEHICLE AND THEN TAKES PICTURES ETC. AND SENDS ALL OF THE INFORMATION TO GM FOR EVALUATION. I FEEL THIS ACCIDENT WAS SEVERE ENOUGH FOR THE AIRBAGS DEPLOY AND I'M NOT SATISFIED AT ALL WITH GM'S RESPONSE TO THE SITUATION. I REQUESTED THE REPORT AND A COPY OF THE DEPLOYMENT CRITERIA FOR THE AIRBAGS I WAS TOLD THAT INFORMATION WILL NOT BE SUPPLIED. HOW AM I TO KNOW IF THIS IS A FAILURE OR NOT. THIS INFORMATION SHOULD NOT BE PRIVATE TO THE MANUFACTURER ONLY. I WANT SOMEONE TO LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM.
