SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE BACK A THREE DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS. TWO OF THEM INFORMED ME THAT THESE CONDITIONS ARE NORMAL FOR THIS VEHICLE AND THERE IS NOTHING THAT THE CAN DO. WALLACE LUNDGREN AT LEAST KEPT THE VEHICLE FOR A WEEK AND APPARENTLY TRIED TO DUPLICATE THE SYMPTOMS. THESE PROBLEMS ARE OCCURING INTERMITTANTLY AND ME BEING AN AUTOMOTIVE TECHNICIAN KNOW HOW HARD INTERMITANT PROBLEMS ARE BUT BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY I BELIEVE THAT A VEHICLE THAT INTERMITANTLY HAS NO BRAKES SHOULD BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY. ALSO I WOULD LIKE TO NOTE THAT LUNDGREN CHEVROLET GAVE ME A 2000 SUBURBAN AS ALONER AND GUESS WHAT NO BRAKES INTERMITTANTLY. ALSO MY SERVICE MANAGER FRED SCHARNBERG HAS HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH HIS NEW 2000 SUBURBAN. I BELIEVE G.M IS ABOUT TO HAVE A VERY BIG PROBLEM WHEN THESE VEHICLES START KILLING PEOPLE BECAUSE THE CAN'T STOP. *AK

SUSPENSION:FRONT
THIS VEH. HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 7 TIMES AND PROBLEM IS THE SAME. AT HIGH SPEEDS THE FRONT END VIBRATES. WHEN YOU GO AROUND A CURVE AT CERTIN SPEED AND HIT A BUMP YOU LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE TO ME . ONE TIME I LOST PARTIAL CONTROL INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC AT 75MPH. THEY HAVE BLAMED THE TIRES (ALTHOUGH THEY REPLACED THEM 5 TIMES) THEY HAVE REALIGNED THE FRONT, BALANCED THE TIRES ENDLESSLY AND TRIED EVERYTHING THEY COULD THINK OF AND ACCOMPLISHED NOTHING. THIS IS TRULY A DANGEROUS TO HAVE ON THE ROAD AND IS GOING TO KILL SOMEONE ONE OF THESE DAYS. *AK

TIRES:TREAD/BELT
THE TREAD/BELT ON ONE TIRE STARTED TO SEPARATE FROM THE INNER CASING. THE SALEMAN AT DISCOUNT TIRE SPOTTED ONE OTHER TIRE SHOWING SIGNS OF IMPENDING FAILURE. I STILL HAVE A SPARE FROM THE SAME SET. THE OTHERS HAVE BEEN REPLACED. WITH THE FORD/FIRESTONE PROBLEMS, I THOUGHT THIS TIRE MAY BE INDICATING ANOTHER MANUFACTURING PROBLEM. THE SALESMAN SAID HE HAS SEEN QUITE A NUMBER OF THE SAME PROBLEM.
