VISIBILITY, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
SAFE LITE AUTO GLASS PLACED POLYEURETHANE GLUE ON THE REAR WINDOW AUTO DEFROSTER METAL CONTACT TO THE REAR WINDOW OF MY CHEVY 2007 LT SUBURBAN. I HIT THE REMOTE STARTER AND ALLOWED THE CAR TO RUN FOR 9 MINUTES, THE VEHICLE WILL AUTO SHUT OFF AFTER 10 MINUTES. MY DAUGHTER SMELLED SMOKE IN THE CAR SO I INSERTED MY IGNITION KEY AND I ROLLED DOWN THE WINDOWS. I THEN BACKED MY CAR OUT OF THE GARAGE, PULLED OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY AND MY REAR WINDOW EXPLODED INTO PIECES OF GLASS EVERYWHERE. I CALLED THE POLICE, FILED A POLICE REPORT, FILED A CLAIM WITH MY INSURANCE COMPANY (GEICO, REF CLAIM # : 0501768800101053) WHERE THE CLAIMS ADJUSTER FOUND THAT THE METAL CONTACT DID CAUSE A CHEMICAL REACTION WITH THE POLYURETHANE GLUE AS THE CAUSE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS PULLING INTO MY DRIVEWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 15 MILES PER HOUR. MY BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND TWO OF MY DASH LIGHTS ILLUMINATED (T/C (TRACTION CONTROL), AND BRAKE LIGHT, ALSO HAD THE READOUT "SERVICE BRAKE SYSTEM". LUCKILY, I WAS ROLLING TO A STOP IN MY OWN DRIVEWAY AND AVOIDED HITTING MY OTHER PARKED CARS. I INSPECTED THE BRAKE SYSTEM AND FOUND THAT BRAKE FLUID WAS LEAKING BETWEEN THE ABS UNIT AND THE DRIVER SIDE REAR TIRE (MORE SPECIFICALLY NEAR THE FUEL TANK) FROM THE METAL BRAKE LINE. THE BRAKE RESERVOIR WAS HALF FULL OF BRAKE FLUID AND COMPLETELY DRAINED WITHIN TEN MINUTES OF JUST SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY . I INSPECTED FROM WHAT I COULD SEE CONCERNING THE UNDERSIDE METAL BRAKE LINES; ALL BRAKE LINES ARE RUSTED AND BRITTLE AND WILL NEED REPLACED. *TR

POWER TRAIN
THIS VEHICLE HAS A PUSH BUTTON START/STOP. YOU CAN STOP THE VEHICLE WHILE IT IS IN GEAR, AND IF YOU GET OUT THE VEHICLE CAN JUST ROLL AWAY. THIS HAS NEARLY CAUSED 2 SERIOUS ACCIDENTS, ONCE IT ROLLED BACKWARDS, NARROWLY MISSING A PEDESTRIAN, ANOTHER TIME FORWARDS INTO A CAR IN FRONT. GM NEED TO RECTIFY THIS ASAP. *TR

ENGINE
MY CARS ENGINE SUDDENLY LOST POWER WHILE IT WAS ON. THE STABILITRAK LIGHT AND ENGINE LIGHT BOTH CAME ON. I HAD TO PULL OVER. CAR RESET ITSELF AFTER I SHUT IT OFF FOR FEW MINUTES. IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO DEALER AND DESPITE THE FACT THAT THEY ARE AWARE THAT IT SEEMS TO BE A RECURRING ISSUE, THEY SAY ITS NOT A RECALL ISSUE. APPARENTLY AN OIL SENSOR GOES BAD AND DESPITE THE GAUGE SHOWING ITS OK, THE ENGINE IS OPERATING WITH NO OIL. I CHANGE THEN OIL EVERY 3000-3500 MILES SO IT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN AN ISSUE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
WE BOUGHT OUR 2000 SUBURBAN IN 2002 WITH ONLY 3000 MILES .THIS WAS A SECRET SERVICE FLEET VEHICLE WITH HARDLY ANY MILES ON IT . WE HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE TO DATE WITH ONLY 88,727MILES ON IT. LAST SUMMER AFTER PULLING OUR 31 FOOT CAMPER BACK FROM VACATION I NOTICED THAT I WAS LEAKING BRAKE FLUID IN OUR DRIVE WAY. I WAS GLAD THAT WE MADE IT HOME WITH NO INCIDENT. WE HAVE NOT USED THE TRUCK SENSE THAT TIME .I LOOKED UNDER THE TRUCK ONLY TO SEE ALL MY BRAKE LINES CORRODED AND LEAKING. THEY OFFER AFTERMARKET BRAKES IN STAINLESS STEEL LINES. WHY DON'T ALL THE AUTOMOTIVE COMPANIES PUT THE STAINLESS LINES ON THERE VEHICLES. IT CAN'T BE THAT MUCH MORE FOR PEACE OF MIND. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO SAY I HAVE A 1996 CHEVY TAHOE THAT I BOUGHT BRAND NEW AND HAS 132000 MILES ON IT WITH BRAKE LINES THAT DON'T LEAK. I CAN TELL , AND SHOW ANYONE THAT GM USED AN INFERIOR METAL FOR BRAKE LINES AT LEAST IN MY 2000 SUBURBAN. *TR
