UNKNOWN OR OTHER
ON MY 1995 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN LT, MY PAINT IS CHIPPING OFF. I NOTIFIED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THIS WAS WEAR AND TEAR. SO I E-MAILED THE MAIN OFFICE AND WAS TOLD IT WAS TOO OLD FOR THEM TO REPAIR. THIS IS NOT WEAR AND TEAR PAINT DOES NOT JUST CHIP OFF A CAR GET DULL MAYBE BUT NOT CHIP OFF CAR. I WAS TOLD BY ONE OF THE CAR PAINTERS FROM CENTRAL CHEVROLET DEALER IN FREMONT CA THAT THEY MIXED THE PAINT WITH THE PRIMER TO TAKE A SHORT CUT. HE HAD SEEN MANY OF THESE AND WAS NOT ABLE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I THINK THAT THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED PAINT SHOULD NOT CHIP OF THE CAR THIS IS NOT WEAR AND TEAR!!!!!!!! *NLM

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:FUSES AND CIRCUIT BREAKERS
ON FOUR DIFFERENT DATES, MY FUSES FOR IN INSTR. PANEL BLEW OUT. THE FIRST TIME I HAD TO BE TOWED TO A DEALER IN GA. THEY SAID I GOT BAD FUEL, AND THAT IT WAS NOT UNDER THE 3YR/36,000. THAT I HAD TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. I SINCE FOUND OUT THEY TOOK ME FOR A RIDE. THIS WAS BACK IN 2001. THIS YEAR I HAVE HAD MY FUSES BLOW 3 TIMES WITH IN A WEEK. I HAVE NOTICE THAT EVERY TIME THEY BLOW IS WHEN I'M BLOW A 1/4 TANK OF GAS. I CHANGED THE FUSE ON MAY 26 TH OF 2003 AND MAY 31 TH OF 2003 AND JUNE 2 2003. I THINK THERE IS A BIG PROBLEM WITH THIS. I WAS DRIVING 2 OF THE FOUR TIMES. I COULD HAVE HAD A WRECK. *AK

SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:POWER ADJUST
THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT BOTTOM FRAME ASSEMBLY BROKE APART ON MY 1995 CHEV. SUBURBAN. THIS CAUSED THE SEAT TO TIP BACKWARDS. FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO CATCH MYSELF USING THE STEERING WHEEL AND BALANCE IN THE SEAT AND GET THE CAR UNDER CONTROL. I DID NOT CRASH, BUT THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE DESIGN.
