#10020920June 2, 2003
WHEELS:RIM, WHEELS:HUBCAP/COVER
THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT INVOLVED. I AM THE SECOND OWNER ON A 1999 CHEVROLET, BLAZER. MY HUSBAND NT TO PUT NEW BRAKES AND TIRES ON FOR THE FIRST, THE SHOP COULDN'T GET THE TIRE OFF. THE REASON--THE RIMS WERE MANUFACTURED ALUMINUM WHICH COOL FASTER THAN STEEL BEHIND THE RIMS.IT PRODUCES A SUBSTANCE THAT MAKES IT STICKY, WHEN IT DRIES. IT CAUSES THE BRAKES AND TIRES TO BREAK THE RIM AND PAY FOR THE BROKEN RIM. I FEEL THAT GMCSHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND FIX THIS PROBLEM.*AK

SEAT BELTS:FRONT:RETRACTOR
FRONT PASSENGERS SEAT BELT IS FAULTY! I WAS IN A COLLISION AND REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER DRIVER. MY MOTHER WAS WITH ME AND IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. HER SEAT BELT AT THE SHOULDER DID NOT LOCK AND AS A RESULT SHE WAS THROWN FORWARD, CAUSING A TORN ROTATOR CUFF. SHE HAS DOCTORS DOCUMENTS TO BACK THIS UP. SURGERY WAS SCHEDULED WITH NO ADVAIL. WE HAD OTHER COMPLICATIONS ARISE AND THE DOCTOR CANCELED SURGERY IN THE OPERATING PREP. ROOM. WE HAVE BEEN REFERRED TO SPECIALIST AND ARE NOW AWAITING FOR THEM TO DECIDE WHETHER OR NOT TO AGAIN SCHEDULE SURGERY. IN THE MEAN TIME, THE WAVE 3 TROUBLE SHOOTER, SUGGESTED I CONTACT YOUR OFFICE. ANY HELP THAT YOU CAN BE IN THIS MATTER WOULD BE APPRECIATED. MY MOTHER REMAINS IN PAIN ON MEDICATION, AND CHEVROLET OFFICIALS WON'T HELP MY MOTHER IN ANY WAY. THE VEHICLE IN QUESTION IS A 1999 CHEVROLET BLAZER, 4 DOOR, 4X4. INITIALLY, ALL WE ASK CHEVROLET FOR WAS A NEW SEATBELT. HOWEVER, THROUGH THE INTERNET AND CNN NEWS, I KNOW THAT THERE HAS BEEN OTHER REPORTS FOR THIS PROBLEM. SO I FEEL THAT CHEVROLET SHOULD COMPENSATE ME FOR MY INJURIES THAT I HAVE AND WILL SUFFER PAIN FROM. *NLM

WHEN I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT THE LEFT TIRE WAS DANGEROUS AND NEEDED TO BE FIXED> IT COST ME 1200.00 AND I FEEL MY CAR IS A LEMON AND I WOULD LIKE SOME TYPE OF REIMBURSEMENT.
