AIR BAGS, STEERING:COLUMN
AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON IN INSTRUMENT PANEL INDICATING FAILURE. THE WIRING HARNESS ON THE TILT WHEEL BROKE (FATUGUED). DEALER SAID THAT I USED THE TILT MECHANISM TOO MUCH AND THAT IT WAS NOT INTENDED TO BE USED EACH ENTRY/EXIT. I COMMENTED THAT THIS ASSEMBLY SHOULD HAVE BEEN DESIGNED TO PREVENT THIS TYPE OF FAILURE SINCE THE AIR BAG OPERATION WAS IMPAIRED BY IT. DEALER DISAGREED, REFUSED TO CONTACT CHEVROLET IN MY BEHALF AND CHARGED ME OVER $240.00 TO REPLACE THE PART. THIS IS A VERY CRITICAL ASSEMBLY AND NEVER SHOULD HAVE FAILED FROM USE IN THIS MANNER. I HAVE THE FAILED COMPONENT AND CAN SEND IT TO YOU FOR EXAMINATION. *AK

ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM LIGHT CAME ON. PROBLEM DIAGNOSED AS FAILURE OF KELSEY HAYES RWAL. THE DEALER QUOTED $548 FOR THE PART AND $87 LABOR. I DISCUSSED WITH THE DEALER AND DID FURTHER INVESTIGATION. THERE IS A HISTORY OF PROBLEMS WITH 1990-1995 GMC AND CHEVY 2-WHEEL SUBURBANS HAVING FAILURE OF THE ABS. I CONTACTED THE ZONE REP, WHO WAS NICE, BUT SAID NO RECALL CAMPAIGN TO-DATE MEANS NO REPLACEMENT BY GM. I AM DRIVING THE VEHICLE AS-IS (WITHOUT ANTI-LOCK) AND CONTINUING TO PURSURE HOW TO HAVE GM REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE KELSEY UNITS. *AK
