STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM
POWER STEERING SQUEALS WHEN YOU TURN TO THE LEFT. THIS HAPPENS TURNING THE WHEEL TO THE LEFT FROM CENTER, NOT WHEN YOU HIT THE LOCK ALL THE WAY TO LEFT. AND, IT ONLY HAPPENS AFTER THE TRUCK HAS WARMED UP. I HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS THE FIFTH ONE THAY HAD SEEN WITH THIS PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULD NOT REPAIR THE SQUEALING AND I WOULD HAVE TO WAIT AT LEAST TWO MONTHS BEFORE GM WOULD HAVE A SOLUTION. I FIND THIS UNACCEPTABLE. PLEASE CONTACT GM AND PUSH FOR A SOLUTION SOONER THAN THAT. THANK YOU. *AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
BRAKES CONSTANTLY WENT OUT. WHILE DRIVING CONSUMER WOULD PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL TO SLOWDOWN, BUT AUTOMOBILE WOULD CONTINUE TO MOVE AS IF BRAKES WERE NOT PRESSED AT ALL. AFTER BRAKES WERE PRESSED A COUPLE OF TIMES, THEN AUTOMOBILE WOULD STOP. AUTOMOBILE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND HELD FOR 3 WEEKS. ONE DAY AFTER THE CONSUMER PICKED UP THE AUTOMOBILE, BRAKES WENT OUT AGAIN. THIS COULD CAUSE CONSUMER TO HAVE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *AK

POWER TRAIN:AXLE ASSEMBLY
ON JAN. 17,2000 WE WERE DRIVING THROUGH NORMAN,IT WAS FOGGY, AND WE HIT A SLICK SPOT. I OVER CORRECTED AND THE TRUCK SPUN. WE HIT THE CRUB WITH THE LEFT REAR TIRE AND JUMPED THE CRUB. IT LOOKED TO BE FLAT BUT WHEN WE TRIED TO PULL THE TRUCK OFF THE CRUB AND STRAIGHTEN OUT TO PUT THE SPARE WHEEL ON IT WOULD NOT MOVE OR TURN. WE HAD IT TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP WHO LOOKED AT THE DAMAGE AND FIXED IT. WE FILED WITH THE INSURANCE BECAUSE WE THOUGHT IT WASN'T COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. WE WERE TOLD LATER THAT THE AXLE SHOULD NOT HAVE BENT LIKE IT DID TO BEGIN WITH. *AK( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P235/75R16 )

SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:RECLINER
MY SON [XXX] PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE NEW FROM [XXX] IN BRANDON MS IN 1997 AND I PURCHASED IT WHEN HE TRADED IT IN TO DANNY BERRY CHEV. THE RECLINING PART OF THE SEAT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE WILL NOT ADJUST PROPERLY. I WORK FOR A BODY SHOP IN HAZLEHURST MS AND WE HAVE REPAIRED AND REPLACED SEVERAL OF THESE ON CHEVROLET PICKUPS. SO I ASSUME THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS COMPONENT SINCE SO MANY ARE BREAKING. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
