STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR:HINGE AND ATTACHMENTS
IMPROPER ASSEMBLY OF DOORS HAS COMPROMISED THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS CAUSED A SAFETY DEFECT ON THE RIGHT FRONT AND REAR DOORS OF VEHICLE. BOTH DOORS ARE WELDED IMPROPERLY TO VEHICLE BODY. BOTH DOORS REQUIRE REPLACEMENT OF ALL HINGES WELDED TO VEHICLE BODY AND REAR DOOR SHELL REQUIRES REPLACEMENT DUE TO CREASE ON EXTERIOR SHEET METAL. GM FACTORY AUTHORIZED BODY SHOP WILL NOT CERTIFY WELDING TO BE TO FACTORY SPECIFICATIONS. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE. GM HAS REFUSED TO EXCHANGE VEHICLE. IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO HAVE A FATAL INJURY IN ORDER TO RECALL OR FIX THE PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP. *AK

ON SEPT. 30, 1999 CHEVROLET SENT A STOP DELIVERY ORDER #99063 TO THE DEALERS. I PURCHASED MY CAR ON OCT. 30, 1999. AT THE TIME I DIDN'T KNOW OF THE DEFECT. I WAS NOT NOTIFIED TILL MAY 23, 2000.

PARKING BRAKE:CONVENTIONAL
IF PARKING BRAKE IS SET AND YOU ATTEMPT TO MOVE THE VEHICLE, THE BOLT THAT SECURES THE PARKING BRAKE ASSEMBLY INSIDE THE WHEEL FAILS. I THINK THIS IS A POTENTIAL FOR CATASTROPHIC BRAKE FAILURE IF THE PARKING BRAKE COMPONENT WERE TO INTERFERE WITH THE MOVEMENT OF THE WHEELS. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND ALL THEY ARE DOING IS REPLACING THE BOLT. THE STATE OF TEXAS VEHICLE INSPECTION REQUIRES SETTING THE PARKING BRAKE AND ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE, WHICH WOULD RESULT IN THE FAILURE OF THIS BOLT. THE SERVICE ADVISOR STATED THAT THE BOLT WAS ABOUT THE THICKNESS OF A CRUSHED COKE CAN. I THINK THIS BOLT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED WITH A MORE SECURE BOLT THAT WILL NOT FAIL. *AK

VISIBILITY:REARVIEW MIRRORS/DEVICES:EXTERIOR
THE RIGHT SIDE OUTSIDE MIRROR CANNOT BE PROPERLY ADJUSTED TO ELIMINATE A BLIND SPOT. IT LOCKS IN TO A "NORMAL" DRIVING POSITION AND EVEN THE POWER ADJUSTMENT CANNOT MOVE THE MIRROR FAR ENOUGHT OUT. THE PRESET MOUNTED ANGLE IS WRONG. I CALLED THE SERVICE MANAGER AND HE TOLD ME I AM NOT THE FIRST TO COMPLAIN AND EVEN HE, WHEN HE WAS USING A BLAZER NOTED THAT THE MIRROR WOULD NOT TAKE A PROPER SETTING. HE TOLD ME HE EVEN "CALLED AROUND" AND WAS TOLD THAT'S THE WAY IT'S COMES FROM THE FACTORY AND CANNOT BE CHANGED. IT MUST BE CORRECTED SO THE BLIND SPOT ON THE RIGHT SIDE IS ELIMINATED. *AK
