SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DRUM
GENTLEMEN, I AM NOT SURE WHAT CONSTITUTES A SAFETY HAZARD, BUT I AM HAVING TO PUT ON MY FIFTH SET OF FRONT BRAKES AS THE CURRENT ONES ARE NOW WORN THIN, CHATTER, AND SQUEAL. THIS IS A FAMILIAR PATTERN OF EXCESSIVE WEAR. I HAVE EVEN HAD THE ABS CHATTER ON ME WHEN GOING OVER A ROUGH SECTION OF PAVEMENT - BOTH DURING BREAKING AND IMMEDIATLY AFTER BRAKING. SCARY. IT SEEMS UNREASONABLE TO ME THAT I SHOULD BE GOING THROUGH FRONT BRAKES EVERY 18,000 MILES! AND THEY FREQUENTLY MAKE FUNNY NOISES!

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.

EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER, EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL:RADIO/TAPE DECK/CD ETC.
APROX. 4 MONTHS AFTER BUYING THIS VEH. THE CD PLAYER STARTED MALFUNCTIONING. IT WOULD NOT PLAY A CD AND WOULD GIVE THE ERR SIGN AND THE OWNERS MANUAL ADDRESSED THIS SITUATION AND SAID TO LET THE PLAYER COOL FOR A WHILE IT MUST BE OVER HEATED. THIS SEEMED STRANGE SINCE MOST OF THE TIME THIS OCCURED WAS WHEN THE CD PLAYER HAD NOT BEEN IN USE. AFTER CONTACTING THE DEALER CHUCK HUTTON WHO HAS SERVICED THIS VEH. SINCE I BOUGHT IT WOULD SAY THEY COULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM UNLESS IT WAS HAVING THAT PROBLEM WHEN I BROUGHT THE TRUCK INTO THEIR DEALERSHIP. WHENEVER THIS PROBLEM WOULD OCCURE THE DASH AREA AROUND THE A/C CONTROLS AND RADIO/CASSETTE AND CD PLAYER WOULD GET SO HOT YOU COULD NOT KEEP YOUR HAND ON THE DASH . THIS PROBLEM CONTINUED TO OCCUR AND IT NEVER WAS DUPLICATED AT THE DEALERSHIP. A SERVICE RECORD DATED 12/14/1998 SHOWS THAT THE A/C DRAIN WAS FOUND TO BE PINCHED AND HAD TO BE REPOSITIONED TO PERMIT IT TO DRAIN BUT SINCE THAT TIME THE TRUCK AIR SYSTEM HAS DEVELOPED SOME TYPE OF FUNGUS IN IT AND THE SMELL IS TERRIBLE. ON THIS SAME SERVICE REPORT THERE IS A NOTE CONCERNING CHECKING THE CD PLAYER FOR ERROR MESSAGES BUT NOTHING WAS FOUND. CURRENTLY I AM DRIVING A $35000 VEH. WITH A BURNED UP CD PLAYER AND CASSETTE PLAYER THAT THE DEALER SAYS IS OUT OF WARRENTY. I REPORTED THE PROBLEMS WITH THESE UNITS FAR BEFORE THE WARRANTY EXPRIED AND WOULD LIKE SOME HELP TRYING TO SEE IF GM HAS HAD MUCH PROBLEM WITH THEIR DELCO AM/FM CASSETTE RADIO W/AUO TONE CONTROL, SPEED CONTROL VOLUME
