#711662September 20, 1999
STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING ALONG A ROAD AT ABOUT 25 MPH MY POWER STEERING FAILED AND NEVER RETURNED. THE DEALER INDICATED THAT A SENSOR BECAME LOOSE AND CAUSED THE POWER STEERING PUMP TO FAIL. THEY SUGGESTED THAT I CALL THE GM HOT LINE. GM WAS NOT VERY NICE OR HELPFUL. THEY ASKED HOW MUCH MILEAGE. THEY INDICATED THAT ANYTHING THAT THEY WOULD DO WOULD BE UNDER THEIR GOOD WILL PROGRAM. THEY THEN ASKED ME HOW MUCH I WAS WILLING TO PAY. WHEN I INDICATED GM=80% AND ME 20% OF A $462 REPAIR BILL THEY ASKED ME TO HOLD ON AND THEN CAME BACK AND SAID THAT THEY WERE NOT WILLING TO PAY ANYTHING. I ASKED THEM WHY THEY EVEN BOTHERED TO ASK ME HOW MUCH I WOULD BE WILLING TO PAY--AND THEY INDICATED THAT THE TRUCK HAD A LOT OF MILEAGE AND THAT I SHOULD HAVE TAKEN THE EXTENDED WARANTY PROGRAM. I FEEL THE DEALER WAS TRYING TO INFORM ME THAT THIS POWER STEERING PUMP SHOULD NOT HAVE GONE IN THE MILEAGE THAT I HAD. I BELIEVE THAT A BAD ACCIDENT COULD HAVE RESULTED HAD I BEEN DRIVING ON A CURVEY ROAD. GM APPEARS TO BE DISINTERESTED IN MY WELFARE. I THOUGHT THAT BEONKA JONES WAS VERY RUDE IN HANDLING THE MATTER.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC
FRONT DISC BRAKES DO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE IN MAY 1997. APPROXIMATELY 6 MONTHS AFTER DRIVING THIS VEHICLE I STARTED NOTICING FRONT DISC BRAKE PROBLEMS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GUNDERSON CHEVROLET WERE THEY "GRINDED" AND LUBED FRONT "KNUCKLES?" . PROBLEM CONTINUED AND CONSISITS OF "JERKY" AND "CLUNKY" FRONT BRAKES. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO A PRIVATE REPAIR SHOP WERE FRONT DISC PADS WERE REPLACED AND FRONT ROTOR WERE TURNED DUE TO WARPING. VEHICLE CONTINUES TO EXHIBIT A "JERKY" BRAKING MOTION WHICH IS ANNOYING AND COULD POSSIBLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT DUE TO IMPROPER BRAKING. I BELIEVE THAT THIS FRONT BRAKE SYSTEM IS VERY POORLY DESIGNED AND WOULD EXPECT THAT GMAC SHOULD REPAIR THIS $35,000 VEHICLE WHICH SHOULD HAVE A RELIABLE AND SMOOTH FRONT BRAKING SYSTEM.( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 235/75/15 )
