#760944April 20, 2002
FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
TOWED TO PRIVIATE RECOMMENDED MECHANIC. HE WAS HORRIFIED TO FIND THE WIRE IN THE FUEL PUMP HAD IT'S CASING MELTED OFF DUE TO THE HEAT WITHIN THE FUEL PUMP. THE FUEL PUMP WAS HALF FILLED WITH FUEL AND THE INTENSE HEAT (SUCH THAT THE WIRE CASING HAD MELTED) COULD HAVE CREATED A DANGEROUS OR FATAL SITUATION. I HAVE TRIED TO ASK THE COMPANY ABOUT RECALL OR INVESTIGATION OF THIS PROBLEM BUT SINCE MY CAR WAS WORKED ON BY SOMEONE OTHER THAN A DEALER AND/OR MY MILES ARE OVER 60K, THEY WILL NOT TALK TO ME. THE ATTY GENERAL GAVE ME YOUR INFORMATION TO PROCEED. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THAT THIS PROBLEM IS LOOKED INTO AND IF RECALLED, WOULD SEEK REIMBURSEMENT.. THANK YOU. BRENDA CAREY. *AK

SEATS
BOLT CONNECTING DRIVERS SEAT TO POWER ADJUSTABLE SEAT TRACK ASSEMBLY TORE THROUGH THE SHEET METAL ANCHOR PLATE ON THE SEAT CAUSING THE SEAT TO TIP BACKWARDS ABRUPTLY. MY FATHER OWNS AN INDEPENDENT AUTO REPAIR SHOP AND IS AWARE OF THIS SAME PROBLEM ON OTHER CHEVROLET TRUCKS AND SUV'S. I CONTACTED GM'S CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER TO INQUIRE IF A RECALL OR SERVICE BULLETIN HAD BEEN ISSUED TO ADDRESS THIS APPARENTLY COMMON PROBLEM. I WAS ADVISED GM HAD NOT ISSUED A RECALL NOR A SERVICE BULLETIN AND DID NOT CONSIDER THIS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. *TS *NLM ****DIMSII IVOQ ENTRY POSTED AFTER 12-12-02 CUT OVER TO ARTEMIS****760793

STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
THIS REPORT REGARDS A CHEVROLET TAHOE 4 DOOR TRUCK WHICH I PURCHASED NEW. DURING THE PAST 16 MONTHS BOTH INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES ( THE LEFT AND RIGHT FRONT DOORS) HAVE SNAPPED OFF RENDERING THAT DOOR INOPERABLE WHEN ATTEMPTING TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A SAFETY DEFECT SINCE THE POSSIBLITY EXISTS THAT THESE DOOR HANDLES COULD FAIL AT ANY TIME IN AN EMERGENCY. I HAVE BEEN REQUIRED TO REPLACE THESE DOOR HANDLES AT MY EXPENSE AND I WAS INFORMED BY THE CHEVROLET DEALER ( HUSTEDT CHEVROLET OF FLORAL PARK, N.Y.) THAT THE DOOR HANDLE FAILURE IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES. *AK

TIRES
WHILE TRAVELING ON GA HWY 300 - OUR FAMILY WAS ON OUR WAY TO DESTIN, FLORIDA TO STAY WITH FAMILY. THE LEFT REAR TIRE EXPLODED CAUSING US TO RUN INTO THE MEDIAN. MY HUSBAND AND I WERE TRAVELING WITH OUR 3 CHILDREN ONE OF THEIR FRIENDS. WE WERE VERY SHAKEN UP AND WERE STRANDED. INSTEAD OF ARRIVING IN FLORIDA AROUND 9:30 PM (TO HAVE DINNER WITH MY SISTER AND MOTHER WHO LIVE THERE) WE ARRIVED AT 1:30 AM. IF WE HAD NOT BEEN DRIVING IN THE INSIDE LANE THEN WE WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT BY TRAFFIC!! THE TIRE LOOKED LIKE SOMEONE HAD TAKEN A BOX CUTTER AND SLICED ALL THE WAY AROUND THE OUTSIDE (INSIDE OF THE LETTERING ONTHE TIRE) WE HAVE TAKEN PICTURES AND SAVED THE TIRE!*AK (TIRESIZE: P265/70R16)
