IN DRY, GOOD ROAD CONDITIONS, WHEN BRAKING, THE ABS GOES INTO INAPPROPRIATE OPERATION AND REDUCES BRAKING ABILITY BY 40% TO 70%.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY
DISCOVERED GAS TANK LEAK WHILE CAR PARKED IN ALBANY, NY. PROCEEDED TO DE PAULA CHEVROLET, 785 CENTRAL AVENUE, ALBANY, NY 12206, TEL: 518-489-0122. THE FUEL TANK IS PROTECTED BY A METAL "SHROUD". THE GAS WAS LEAKING ONTO THE EXHAUST PIPE. BOTH SHROUD AND FUEL TANK WERE IN PERFECT CONDITION. THE HOLE IN THE GAS TANK WAS DIRECTLY UNDER THE SHROUD, NEAR THE CENTER OF THE TANK - THUS NO OUTSIDE OBJECT COULD HAVE POSSIBLY CAUSED THE DAMAGE. THE DEALER LISTED THE PROBLEM AS RUST - AS THAT WAS THE ONLY EXPLANATION THEY COULD OFFER. AN EXAMINATION OF THE TANK SHOWED NO RUST. THIS CAR HAS NOT SEEN A WINTER AS IT IS GARAGED DUING THE WINTER MONTHS. THE DEALER. DE PAULA SHOULD STILL HAVE THE TANK, AS I REQUESTED IT BE HELD. GM CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS POLITE, HOWEVER THEIR INTEREST WAS IN THE FACT THAT THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THE EXPENSE IS MINE. I DO CARE ABOUT THE $900 IT COST TO FIX BUT I STRESSED TO THEM HOW UPSET I WAS WITH THE FACT THAT THIS CAR WAS CLOSE TO EXPLODING. ADDITIONALLY FUEL TANKS DO NOT WEAR OUT IN 6 YEARS. I USED TO BE IN THE AUTOMOTIVE BUSINESS.*AK

SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:RECLINER
I WAS LEAVING A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE BACK OF MY SEAT GAVE WAY, CAUSING ME TO SLIDE BACK WHICH IN TURN CAUSE MY FOOT TO PRESS THE ACCELERATER TO THE FLOOR CAUSING THE CAR TO FISHTAIL AND SPIN. AT FIRST I NOTIFIED THE COMPANY TELL THE MY CAR JUST ACCELERATED ALL A SUDDEN. THEY FOUND NO PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE SYSTEM SO THE MECHANIC STATED. I THEN GOT MY CAR BACK AFTER 3 MONTHS IN THE SHOP AND I HAD JUST ENOUGH TIME TO DRIVE ACCROSS AND PLACE IT IN STORAGE FOR 4 YEARS. YOU SEE I AM IN THE AIR FORCE AND WAS ASSIGNED A 4 YEAR TOUR TO JAPAN AND I JUST RETURNED THAT IS WHY THIS INCIDENT WAS SOO LONG BEING REPORTED AND ALSO THE FACT THAT IT TOOK ME A YEAR TO FIGURE OUT THIS IS WAS HAPPENED. THE SEAT DO NOT PROVIDE ADQUATE FORWARD AND AFT SUPPORT . I WEIGHTED ABOUT 225LBS AT THE TIME. CAN YOU PLEASE HAVE THEM CHECK THE SEAT FOR SUPPORT. THANK YOU. *AK
