TIRES:TREAD/BELT
THE SECOND TIRE IN FOUR WEEKS HAD A TREAD SEPERATION. THE FIRST WAS FOUND AT SEARS AUTOMOTIVE WHEN I TOOK VEHICLE BACK DUE TO TIRE VIBRATION. THEY PRO-RATED THE TIRE AND REPLACED IT. FOUR WEEKS LATER, ANOTHER TIRE SEPERATED AT 70 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE CAUSING SOME BODY DAMAGE TO THE LEFT REAR OF THE VEHICLE. I NOW HAVE A THIRD TIRE VIBRATING AT 35 MPH AND AT 70 MPH. THIS CANNOT BE SAFE. I AM METICULOUS ABOUT MAINTAINING MY TIRE PRESSRUE AT THE MANUF. SUGGESTED PRESSURE.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR, EQUIPMENT
I HAVE A 1999 CHEVROLET TAHOE 4X4 LT. IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE FRONT BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS EVERY 5,000 MILES. I AM NOW LOOKING TO SPEND ANOTHER $600 TO REPLACE THEM AGAIN. I HAVE HAD THEM LOOKED AT EACH TIME, AND I AM TOLD THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CALIPERS AND THEY HAVE NO REASON AS TO WHY THE ROTORS ARE BEING WARPED. THE MOST RECENT TIME I TOOK IN THE TAHOE I WAS TOLD THE ROTORS WERE BLUE DUE TO THE HEAT FROM THE PADS, BUT AGAIN THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CALIPERS OR ANYTHING ELSE. I HAVE NOT BEEN CARRYING ANY HEAVY LOADS IN THE VEHICLE, OR DRIVING HARD. MOST OF THE MILES ARE FROM DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE NEVER TAKEN IT OFF ROADING. *AK

SEAT BELTS:FRONT:RETRACTOR
FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELT LOCKS UP AND TIGHTENS, RESTRICTING (ELIMINATING!)ANY PASSENGER MOVEMENT. IT IS LIKE A SNAKE AND JUST KEEPS TIGHTENING DOWN. IN ADDITION, PRESSURE BECOMES SO GREAT ON SEAT BELT RELEASE, MY WIFE AND CHILD ARE UNABLE TO RELEASE THE SEAT-BELT. THIS HAPPENS AT ALL SPEEDS, STANDING STILL, FORWARD OR REVERSE, ETC... DEALER HAS ATTEMPTED TO REPAIR PROBLEM, RETRACTOR HAS BEEN REPLACED AND SAME CONDITION WAS PRESENT AFTER REPLACEMENT,THIRD RETRACTOR IS SCHEDULED FOR INSTALL. FIRMLY BELIEVE THIS IS A DESIGN FAULT AND DEALER HAS DONE ALL TO REPAIR PROBLEM AT THEIR LEVEL. IN ADDITION, THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN EXPERIENCED BY ME ON SEVERAL WORK VEHICLES BOTH TAHOE AND PICK-UP ALL 2002 YEARS. ALL OTHER RETRACTORS IN MY VEHICLE WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT, WORK PROPERLY.*AK *JB
