THE HEATER HOSE IS ATTACHED AT THE INTAKE MANIFOLD WITH A QUICK-CONNECT FITTING THAT IS MADE OF POT METAL. WHEN THIS FAILS (AND IT IS INEVITABLE DUE TO THE TYPE OF METAL USED) THE ENGINE LOSES ALL COOLANT AND LEAVES YOU STRANDED. THERE IS NO "QUICK REPAIR" FOR THIS FAILURE. OLDER ENGINES HAD A CONNECTOR INTO THE INTAKE MANIFOLD MADE OF STEEL OR BRASS WHICH WAS MORE RELIABLE AND USUALLY DID NOT BREAK OFF FLUSH WITH THE MANIFOLD. NLM

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
ON NOVEMBER 11,2000 I HAD A HEAD ON COLLISION (NOT MY FAULT) AND THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY. THEN ON SEPT 1,02 WE HAD A ACCIDENT ON INTERSTATE 95 THAT WE TOTALED THE TAHOE AND THE BODY SHOP CALLED GM SINCE THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY AGAIN. MR. LATTERMERE FROM GM CALLLED ME AND TOLD ME OVER THE PHONE AFTER I DESCRIBE THE ACCIDENT TO HIM THAT , AS HE DREW A PICTURE ON PAPER, "THAT THE AIR BAGS SHOULDN'T HAVE DEPLOYED". I FIND IT VERY DIFFICULT THAT A PERSON CAN DRAW A PICTURE AND TELL ME THIS. I WOULD LIKE FOR YOUR ORGANIZATION TO INSPECT THIS VECHILE AND RETRIEVE THE COMPUTER INFORMATION AND LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK. GM SENT AN "INDEPEDENT" INSPECTOR OUT TO DO A REPORT BUT I HAVE NOTHING FROM HIM OR GM ON THE FINDING. I HAVE LEFT MESSAGES FOR MR. LATTERMERE TO CALL ME TO NO AVAIL.*AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC
DEALERSHIP IS TRYING TO CHARGE ME $900.00 TO REPLACE REAR PADS, EMERGENCY PAD AND NEW ROTORS. THE VEHICLE WAS IN FOR INSPECTION AT 74504 MILES AND REPORTED TO ME THAT THE PADS HAD 50% USAGE. NOW 9 WEEKS LATER THEY TELL ME THAT THE ROTORS HAVE A PROBLEM OF FLAKING AND THAT CAUSED THE UNUSUALL WEAR TO THE PADS. THEY MENTIONED THAT THEY HAVE SEEN THIS OCCURENCE IN AS LITTLE AS 11,000 MILES. IF THIS IS TRUE, THERE ARE MANY VEHICLES OUT THERE THAT COULD SUFFER BRAKING PROBLEMS WITHOUT DUE NOTICE. I WANTED TO CHECK IF THIS IS IN FACT A PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES, OR IF IT IS JUST A "SCAM" BY THE DEALERSHIP TO GET ME TO BUY NEW ROTORS, OR IF I WAS MISINFORMED AT MY LAST INSPECTION AND THEY ARE TRYING TO COVER UP THEIR ERROR.*AK
