STEERING
WHEN DRIVING AT ANY SPEED THE STEERING WHEEL GETS LOOSE. IF I'M ON A ROAD WITH A CURVE AND I HAVE PRESSURE ON THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT LET'S SAY OR LEFT THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD SUDDENLY LOOSEN UP AND QUICKLY TURN IN THE DIRECTION OF THE PRESSURE I'M APPLYING. AS IF OPENING A JAR. IT GETS THAT LOOSE. I ALMOST HIT A COUPLE OF PARKED CARS BECAUSE OF THIS. THE ONLY REASON WE FOUND OUT ABOUT WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS IS WE OVERHEARD A CHEVY OWNER SHOWING SOMEONE THE PART HE HAD TO CHANGE. THIS WAS AFTER WE HAD THE FRONT END DONE TO NO AVAIL. THIS GUY HAD THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS WORTH OF FRONT END WORK DONE AT THREE DIFFERENT CHEVY DEALERS TO NO AVAIL. OUR PART COST $50 AND THE LABOR WAS $100. I'VE TALKED TO TAHOE OWNERS AND RODE IN THEIR VEHICLES AND THEY ALL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS I DID. WE HAD TO TELL THEM WHAT THE FIX WAS. PRETTY LAME SEEING THE DEALERS DON'T EVEN KNOW. IF CHEVY WOULD AT LEAST TELL THEIR MECHANICS IF THEY WON'T RECALL. BY THE WAY THE PART IS A EVO SENSOR AND IT RAPS AROUND THE STEERING COLUMN INSIDE THE VEHICLE RIGHT ABOVE THE BRAKE PEDAL. WE WOULD HAVE CHANGED IT OURSELVES BUT YOU HAVE TO FOOL WITH THE AIRBAG, SO WE PAID SOMEONE TO DO IT. ALSO, THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED HUNDREDS OF TIMES BEFORE WE FIXED IT. THERE WASN'T JUST ONE INCIDENT DATE AS YOU MADE ME FILL OUT ON YOUR FORM. THANK-YOU. *LA

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED THEY JERKED AND WERE NOT STOPPING THE VEHICLE EFFICIENTLY, THERE WAS ALSO A CLANKING NOISE NOTICED WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. DEALER WAS CONSULTED - HE STATED THAT THE PEOPLE WHO ROTATED THE TIRES TORQUED THEM TOO MUCH. WENT BACK TO DEALER WHO SUPPLIED THE TIRES - THEY REPLACED THE BRAKE LININGS ON THE FRONT THINKING THIS WOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM - IT DIDN'T. THEY THEN PULLED THE ROTORS AND FOUND THAT THE ROTORS WERE BASICALLY FALLING APART - THE METAL WAS JUST FALLING OFF. FRONT ROTORS WERE REPLACED. WITHIN A WEEK THE BACK ROTORS WERE DOING THE SAME - TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL GARAGE, BECAUSE THE BRAKES WERE NOT FUNCTIONING VERY WELL. THE REAR ROTORS WERE IN THE SAME IF NOT WORSE CONDITION. CHEVY WAS CONTACTED. THEY DID NOT WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH THEIR DEALER SERVICE MANAGER, BACKED UP THE COMPLAINT (WE TOOK ONE OF THE ROTORS TO THE SERVICE MANAGER TO SHOW HIM. THEY ARE NOT INTERESTED IN THIS PROBLEM - SAID THAT THEY COULDN'T BE SURE THE ROTORS CAME OFF OF THEIR VEHICLE. THEY ALSO DID NOT SHOW ANY UNDERSTANDING OF THE SERIOUSNESS OF NOT HAVING BRAKES - THEIR ATTITUDE WAS VERY DISCONCERTING. *LA

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP:CONTROL UNIT/MODULE
THE ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL MODULE FAILED ON MY 1999 SILVERADO 4X4 EXT. CAB. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAD 48,500 MILES WHEN THE PART FAILED. I WOULD THINK GM SHOULD RECALL THE PART BEING IT IS PART OF A CRITICAL PIECE OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM. TO REPLACE THE PART WOULD COST NEARLY $1000.00. *LA
