SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC
I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR FRONT BRAKES ON 11-25-00. I WAS TOLD THE BACK BRAKE PADS WERE WEARING UNEVENLY AND THAT I WOULD NOT HEAR ANY "WEAR NOISE" BEFORE THE PAD WORE THROUGH AND WRECKED THE ROTORS. THE MECHANIC SAID THE "SLEEVE" GM INSTALLED TO MOVE THE BRAKE PADS WAS "SEIZED". HE SAID THE "KIT" HE WOULD USE WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS EXTRA COST FOR 2 REAR CALIPERS WAS INCURRED BY ME BECAUSE GM'S FACTORY INSTALLED CALIPERS WERE INFERIOR. I ALSO LEARNED THERE IS A CLASS ACTION SUIT TO HELP CUSTOMERS LIKE ME WHO HAVE THESE BAD BRAKE PARTS. I CALLED GM, BUT THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING THEY COULD DO BECAUSE I DID NOT TAKE IT TO A GM DEALER TO GET THE BRAKES DONE. I WENT TO MY LOCAL GM DEALER THAT SAME DAY AND LEARNED THAT THEY KNEW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM ALSO. IS THERE ANY "SECRET WARRANTIES" ON THIS??? WHO CAN I CONTACT FOR SOME REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE EXTRA $404.98 I INCURRED FOR THIS DEFECT???*AK

STEERING:COLUMN LOCKING:ANTI-THEFT DEVICE
A HORRIFYING EXPERIENCE! THE TILT-STEERING LOCKING MECHANISM DISENGAGED IN A TIGHT STEERING MANEUVER IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. LOCKING MECH. THEN WAS TOTALLY INOPERATIVE. STEERING WHEEL TILTED UP AND DOWN FREELY, AND TILTED SLIGHTLY TO LEFT. VEHICLE DID RESPOND TO STEERING, BUT WAS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. AS A CAREER RELIABILITY ENGINEER/QUALITY MANAGER, I ASSESS THIS AS A LIFE-THREATENING MAJOR FAILURE THAT NEVER SHOULD HAPPEN. MANUFACTURER'S CUSTOMER REP IGNORED MY COMPLAINT ON EXCUSE THAT "VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY." I PAID HIGHLY FOR REPAIR; YET CHEVY HAS A SAFETY PROBLEM. PLEASE DO INVESTIGATE THIS TYPE FAILURE.
