STEERING:GEAR BOX (OTHER THAN RACK AND PINION), STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST:PUMP
WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKE THE POWER ASSIST STEERING FADES TO NOTHING AFTER 1/8 TURN MAKING IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO MANUVER. THE POWER STEERING PUMP AND GEARBOX WERE REPLACED, THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST . I HAVE HAD THE STEERING WHEEL JERK GOING AROUND CURVES AND HAVING TO APPLY THE BRAKE ALSO. I BELIEVE THIS IS A DEFINITE SAFETY HAZZARD. GM STATES THAT THIS IS JUST CARACTERISTIC OF THIS TRUCK, I DO NOT FEEL IT MAKES IT OK. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE RE-ENGINEERED SO THAT THE POWER ASIST IS AT CONSTANT PRESSURE. I AM TOLD BY MANUFACTURER THAT NO ONE HAS BEEN HURT SO THERE IS NO PROBLEM. IT SHOULD NOT COME TO THAT. IF I, AS A BUSINESS OWNER PRODUCE A PRODUCT THAT HAS A DEFINITE PROBLEM I CANNOT TELL MY CUSTOMERS THAT IS JUST CHARACTERISTIC OF MY WORK, TOO BAD, SO WHY CAN GM DO THAT? I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR ASSISTANCE IN REVIEWING THIS SITUATION. THANK YOU, [XXX]. *AK PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
VEHICLE NEVER BEEN IN A CRASH, NEVER PULLED A LOAD, NO TOW HITH ON IT, WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, HEARD A WEIRD VIBRATION SOUND WHEN IT HAPPENNED, THERE ARE OTHER REPORTS OF THIS YEAR TRANSMISSION FAILING AROUND 50,000 MILES. THERE IS NO REASON THAT A TRANSMISSION SHOULD FAIL ON A TRUCK THAT IS NOT USED FOR HEAVY USE AND WHEN CHEVY SAYS THEY ARE BUILT LIKE A ROCK, AS LONG AS YOU KEEP IT FOR 36,000 MILES WHEN THE FACTORY WARRANTY IS UP?I HAVE THE OLD PART, I PURCHASED TH VEHICLE AT 41,000 MILES, LOW MILLEAGE AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED, THE GEAR SHEARED OFF , UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS AND I THINK IT IS A FAULTY PART THAT THE MANUFACTURER IS MAKING AND WHEN REPLACING IT WITH THE SAME PART IT IS JUST GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN. TOTALLY SENSELESS ! OBVIOUSLY THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS MAIN GEAR ASSEMBLY AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT IT. I HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH A TRANSMISSION BEFORE AND THEY SHOULD CERTAINLY LAST LONGER THAN 50,000 MILES AND G.M. CHEVROLET SHOULD DO SOMETHING TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM AND STAND BEHIND THEIR ADVERTISING!!!*AK
