AIR BAGS
THIS WAS A VERY HEAVY FRONT END COLLISION. THE VISUAL DAMMAGE EST. IS 10,000 DOLLARS AND STILL RISING THEY DO NOT HAVE THE INTERNAL DAMAGE EST. I CALLED GM AND FILED A FORMAL COMPLAINT. THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WERE VERY BUSY AND DID NOT HAVE TIME TO INVESTIGATE THIS FAILURE. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT THIS WOULD COST THE TO MUCH MONEY TO DO AN INVESTIGATION. THE REP FROM GM TOLD ME THAT THEY COULD TELL IF THE WRECK WAS BAD ENOUGH BY THE DESCRIPTION OF THE WRECK OVER THE PHONE WITH OUT EVEN SEEING THE WRECK. THE DALLAS FIRE DEPARTMENT, DALLAS POLICE DEPARTMENT, TOW TRUCK DRIVER AND HUFFINES CHEVROLET WHICH IS A CERTIFIED CHEVROLET BODY SHOP SAID THAT THIS WAS WAY TO MUCH DAMAGE TO THE FRONT END AND THEY SHOULD HAVE WENT OFF. BUT COPRORATE GM SAID THAT IT WAS NOT AND THEY COULD TELL THAT WITHOUT SEEING THE VEHICLE. GM ALSO TOLD ME THAT THE OTHER VEHICLE IN THE ACCIDENT TOOK ALL THE IMPACT, WITHOUT EVEN SEEING THE VEHICLES HOW WOULD THEY NOW THIS? I STILL HAVE 10,000 DOLLARS OF FRONT END DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE AND THAT IS WAY TO MUCH IF THE OTHER VEHICLE TOOK ALL THE IMPACT. THEY REPEATEDLY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS OK THAT THEY DID NOT GO OFF BECAUSE THE REST OF THE SAFTEY EQUIPMENT WORKED "I.E. SEATBELTS, CRUMPLE ZONES" BUT THAT DOES NOT CHANGE THE FACT THAT THE AIRBAG SYSTEM DID NOT WORK AND THIS WOULD HAVE KEPT MY 7 MONTH PREGNANT WIFE FROM HITTING THE DASH BOARD! IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTION I WILL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM LARGE OR SMALL. THANK YOU!*AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:POWER ASSIST:VACUUM
AT A SPEED OF 50 MPH I APPLIED BRAKES ON THE APPROACH OF A STOP LIGHT. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT DOWN ABOUT TWO INCHES AND THEN CATAPULTED UP VARY QUICKLY. AT THIS POINT THE PEDAL WAS VERY HARD. WHICH IF THE VACUUM BOOSTER FAILED IT SHOULD HAVE LEFT ME WITH HYDRAULIC MANUAL BRAKES, AND IT DID NOT. I HAD TO STOP THE TRUCK WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AFTER ROLLING THROUGH A RED LIGHT AT ABOUT 30 TO 40 MPH. I REPLACED THE VACUUM BOOSTER AND IT FIXED THE PROBLEM. CHEVY CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPT. WAS CALLED AND A CASE WAS OPENED #C06749958. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE LIKE IT FAILED, THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A LOSS OF LIFE ISSUE. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS OF BRAKE PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE AND AT THIS POINT NOTHING BEING DONE ABOUT IT. *TS ***DIMSII IVOQ ENTRY POSTED AFTER 12-12-02 CUT OVER TO ARTEMIS***761073
