SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR A TIRE ROTATION, AND WAS TOLD THAT THE ROTORS WERE EATING UP THE BRAKE PADS. DEALERSHIP REPAIRED THE BRAKING SYSTEM BY RESURFACING THE ROTORS AND PROVIDING NEW PADS. HOWEVER, BECAUSE OF THE STEEL BEING USED THE ROTORS WILL CONTINUE TO EAT UP THE PADS, AND THIS OPERATION WILL NEED TO BE RESOLVED EVERY 10,000 MILES. MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE CLIMATE WHERE CONSUMER LIVED WAS THE REASON WHY THE PROBLEM OCCURRED. *AK

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER
REF: RECALL NUMBER: 03V159000. (GM RECALL NO. 03023) I HAVE JUST LEARNED ABOUT THIS RECALL. I HAVE HAD INTEMITTENT ISSUES WITH MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS AS DESCRIBED. I HAVE ALLREADY REPLACED ENTIRE MOTOR, THEN REALIZED THERE WAS A RECALL. GMC STATES TO ME THAT MY VIN DOES NOT FALL IN THE GROUP EFFECTED IN THE RECALL. SERVICE INVOICE STATES THAT IT IS INDEED THE CIRCUIT BOARD, BUT THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO PAY FOR REPAIRS. I RETAINED OLD PART FOR TESTING PUPOSES. THIS IS A VERY DANGERIOUS ISSUE.*AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I PURCHASED MY 2003 GMC SIERRA Z71 IN AUG. 2003. IN DECEMBER 2003, WHILE PULLING A TRAVEL TRAILOR, THE SERVICE 4-WD LIGHT CAME ON AND THE TRUCK FELT AS IF IT HAD BEEN SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL.I MANAGED TO GET THE TRUCK TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND READ THE OWNERS MANUAL CONCERNING THE LIGHT. I TURNED THE TRUCK OFF AS THE BOOK SAID AND THEN RESTARTED. THE LIGHT STAYED ON, BUT THE TRUCK DID GO IN GEAR. SINCE THIS TIME, WHEN I PULL THE TRAILOR FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME, THE TRUCK WILL AGAIN FEEL AS IF IT IS IN NEUTRAL. I HAVE TO PUT THE TRUCK INTO 2ND OR 1ST GEAR TO GET THE TRANSMISSION TO ENGAGE. THE 4WD LIGHT COMES ON WITH OR WITHOUT THE TRAILOR HOOKED UP AND HAS BEEN CHECKED SEVERAL TIMES BY THE DEALER. THEY HAVE REPLACED THE SWITCH BUT THIS HAS NOT CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS SO HARD IT FEELS AS IF THE BACK END OF THE TRUCK WILL FALL OUT. I WAS TOLD THIS IS NORMAL OPERATION. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM AS THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. NO ONE CAN FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING DOWN A ROAD AND NEVER KNOWING IF YOU WILL BE HIT FROM BEHIND DUE TO THIS TRUCK STALLING FOR NO REASON. *AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
VEHICLE HAS 19000 MILES ON IT AND THE BRAKE ROTORS ARE BADLY SCORED AND RUSTED, RESULTING IN A PULSATING BRAKE PEDAL AND THE REQUIREMENT OF GREATER BRAKE PEDAL PRESSURE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM IS PRIMARILY WITH THE REAR BRAKES, BUT THE FRONT BRAKES ARE STARTING TO SHOW THE SAME SIGNS. A RECENT BRAKE INSPECTION INDICATES THAT THE BRAKE PADS ARE WELL WITHIN TOLERANCE FOR WEAR, BUT THE ROTORS WILL NOT PASS PENNSYLVANIA STATE SAFETY INSPECTION IN THEIR CURRENT CONDITION. I HAVE CONSULTED WITH AT LEAST FOUR OTHER INDIVIDUALS WITH SIMILAR VEHICLES THAT HAVE ENCOUNTERED THE SAME PROBLEM. *AK

WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD QUIT WHILE USING THEM WHILE RAINING OR NOT. IT'S LUCKY I HAVE RAINX IN MY WIPER FLUID AND ON THE WIPERS WHICH GAVE ME ENOUGH VISIBILITY TO SEE, BUT THIS COULD BE A VERY HAZARDOUS SITUATION.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED, THEY FAILED TO STOP THE TRUCK IMMEDIATELY. THIS RESULTED AN EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. THIS FAILURE HAS PROCESSED OVER TIME. THE BRAKE ROTORS ARE OF POOR QUALITY AND DETERIORATES. THE ROTORS WERE REPLACED AT 16,000 MILES AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN AT 24,000 MILES. THE SECOND TIME THE ROTORS WERE REPLACED, TWO WERE TURNED AND TWO WERE REPLACED. *LA

TIRES:TREAD/BELT
HAD FULL-SIZE PICK-UP TRUCK WITH 4 OPEN COUNTRY 410 TIRES FROM TOYO WITH APPROXIMATELY 59,000 MILES ON THEM. TIRES WERE REGULARLY ROTATED AND PRESSURE CHECKED. WHILE TRAVELING ON FREEWAY AT 70 MPH THE RIGHT REAR TIRE BLEW OUT WITH TREAD PEELING OFF LIKE A BANANA PEEL ON HIGHWAY. TAIL PIPE WAS BENT AND REAR QUARTER PANEL SUSTAINED NEARLY $900 IN BODY DAMAGE. FILLED OUT CLAIM FORM WITH TOYO, BUT OF COURSE IT WAS *DENIED*. THEY CLAIMED THE TIRE FAILED TO DUE A SERVICE RELATED ISSUE AND "NOT THE RESULT OF ANY ACT OR OMISSION ON THE PART OF TOYO TIRE". I DISAGREE WITH THIS FINDING AND WILL PROCEED TO TELL EVERYONE I KNOW NOT TO BUY TOYO TIRES BECAUSE THE COMPANY DOES NOT TAKE CARE OF ITS CUSTOMERS WHEN THEY EXPERIENCE A PROBLEM. *JB
