POWER TRAIN:AXLE ASSEMBLY
ON JAN. 17,2000 WE WERE DRIVING THROUGH NORMAN,IT WAS FOGGY, AND WE HIT A SLICK SPOT. I OVER CORRECTED AND THE TRUCK SPUN. WE HIT THE CRUB WITH THE LEFT REAR TIRE AND JUMPED THE CRUB. IT LOOKED TO BE FLAT BUT WHEN WE TRIED TO PULL THE TRUCK OFF THE CRUB AND STRAIGHTEN OUT TO PUT THE SPARE WHEEL ON IT WOULD NOT MOVE OR TURN. WE HAD IT TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP WHO LOOKED AT THE DAMAGE AND FIXED IT. WE FILED WITH THE INSURANCE BECAUSE WE THOUGHT IT WASN'T COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. WE WERE TOLD LATER THAT THE AXLE SHOULD NOT HAVE BENT LIKE IT DID TO BEGIN WITH. *AK( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P235/75R16 )

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK
THE BRAKES GET HARD AND WON'T WORK, THEN THEY SUDDENLY LOCK UP. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO US SEVERAL TIMES, AND TO THE SERVICE GUY ONCE. THE FIRST TWO TIMES IT WAS IN FOR SERVICE, THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. AFTER THEY WENT OUT ON THE SERVICE GUY, THEY REPLACED THE BRAKE BOOSTER. THEY WENT OUT AGAIN, AND THEY REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER. THEY JUST WENT OUT AGAIN, AT AN INTERSECTION, AND WE ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT. IT IS BACK AT THE CHEVY DEALER, BUT THEY DON'T KNOW, AND CHEVY DOESN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH IT. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION. IS ANYONE ELSE REPORTING PROBLEMS WITH THESE TRUCKS?
