#743591April 5, 2001
STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM
FAILURE CAUSED STEERING AT SPEED TO BE DANGEROUSLY SENSITIVE AND STEERING WOULD TORQUE TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT WHEN DECELERATING ON AN OFF-RAMP WHEN SENSOR TRIED TO SWITCH LEVEL OF STEERING ASSIST, AS IF RUNNING OFF ROAD ONTO SHOULDER. DEALER STATES THIS IS A PROBLEM THEY HAVE SEEN AND REPLACED SENSOR OUT OF WARRANTY. WAS NOT OBVIOUS WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS UNTIL I REALIZED THE VEHICLE HAD SPEED SENSITIVE STEERING. MOST DRIVERS WOULD NEVER REALIZE FAILURE HAD OCCURED. SIGNIFICANT PROBABILITY OF CONTRIBUTING TO A LOSS OF CONTROL ACCIDENT.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:POWER ASSIST:VACUUM, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:PADS
EXCESSIVE WEARING OF BRAKE PADS, BRAKE SHOES DUE TO THE INTERMITTENT ENGAGEMENT OF THE POWER BOOSTER WHILE DRIVING. TOOK VEHICLE WHEN IT FIRST HAD THIS PROBLEM TO TWO DIFFERENT CHEVROLET DEALERSHIPS AND WAS TOLD THAT BECAUSE I COULD NOT PROVE THE BOOSTER'S PREMATURE TRIGGERING THAT IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, IN OTHER WORDS THEY TOLD ME IF WE DON'T SEE IT AS BEING BROKEN WE AREN'T FIXING IT.. THEY DID NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THE EXISTANCE OF A SAFETY BULLETING SAYING IN FACT THAT THE POWER BOOSTER WAS PRONE TO FAILURE. SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD TO CHANGE OUT THE BRAKE PADS TWICE AT MY OWN EXPENSE. I REPLACED ALL PARTS WITH GMAC FACTORY PARTS AND REPLACED THE POWER BOOSTER WITH A GM REBUILT POWER BOOSTER. *AK
