SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DRUM, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
I HEARD A POPPING SOUND TWICE WITH IN ONE MILE OF EACH OTHER AS I WAS APPROACHING STOP LIGHTS. THEN HEARD A GRINDING SOUND AS I DROVE ON . TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THE SPRINGS IN THE REAR DRUMS HAD BROKEN AND CAUSED OTHER DAMAGE TO THE DRUMS AND BRAKING SYSTEM. I QUESTIONED THEM ABOUT A MANFACTURE DEFECT AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY WOULD DO . I PAID $501.66 TO GET IT FIXED. TODAY 05/16/2000 I READ IN THE PAPER THAT GM HAS SETTLED A LAWSUIT IN NEW JERSY AGREEING TO PAY FOR THE SAME PROBLEMS IN OTHER GM CARS OF THIS VINTAGE BUT IT DOES NOT METION THE BONNEVILLE. EVEN THOUGH I HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH MY CAR AS THE ONES THAT WERE LISTED IN THE LAWSUIT. *AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:ALTERNATOR/GENERATOR/REGULATOR, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:12V/24V/48V BATTERY
I PURCHASED TIS CAR IN JUNE 1999. I ASK THE DEALER BEFORE I DROVE IT OUT OF THE YARD IF THIS CAR HAD BEEN SERVICED, THEY STATED IT HAD. I DROVE THE CAR ON TUES. THE 15, AND IT STOPPED. AND HAD TO BE TOWED, I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE BATTERY. I WAS OUT ON SAT. THE 4TH OF JULY AND IT SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF B'WAY. IT HAD TO BE TOWED, I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE ALTENATOR, I WAS LEAVING THE MALL IN PARAMUS N.J. IN AUG.1999 AND IT SHUT OFF I CALLED FOR A TOW AND GOT BOOSTED TO GET HOME. IT SHUT OFF ON ME AGAIN IN LATER SEPT. EACH TIME I WAS TOLD IT WAS A WIRING PROBLEM. ON NOVEMBER THE 22, THEY PICKED IT UP AGAIN ANDI WAS AGAIN TOLD IT WAS A WIRING PROBLEM. ON JAN, THE 25 I WAS ENROUTE TO WORK AND IT SHUT OFF AND HAD TO BE TOWED, AT THIS TIME I WOULD NOT PICK IT UP BECAUSE I TOLD THEM I WAS GOING TO COURT, BECAUSE I HAD BEEN SOLD A BEAUTIFUL LEMON. THE SWORE I WOLD NOT HAV E ANOTHER PROBLEM ANDS I BROUGHT IT HOME. ONLY TO FIND THE FRONT DEFOGGER WAS NOT WORKING AND I HAS TOLD THEM ABOUT IT BEFORE. ON MARCH THE 21, I TRIED TO START THE CAR AND NOTHING. THEY SAID THE BATTERY HAD CORROSION ON IT . THEY ALSO SAID THE OIL PAN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I FOUND AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR HAD BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT IN THE FRONT. I WAS NOT TOLD THIS. NOW THE SALEMAN THAT SOLD IT TO ME IS TRYING TO OFFER ME SOME KIND OF DEAL. I TRULY NEED SOME LEGAL ADVISE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THANK YOU. *AK
