#725977July 25, 2000
EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS:SWITCH, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PICKUP TRUCKS, CREW CABS, UTILITY TRUCKS AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES. THESE VEHICLES WERE BUILT WITH THE POLARITY OF THE WIRING FOR THE ZERO ADJUST BRAKE SWITCH REVERSED FROM WHAT WAS SPECIFIED ON THE SWITCH DRAWING. WITH THE REVERSED POLARITY, THE CONTACTS IN THE BRAKE SWITCH CAN WEAR OUT PREMATURELY. THE BRAKE SWITCH WILL PERFORM NORMALLY UNTIL THE BRAKE SWITCH CONTACTS WEAR OUT, RESULTING IN LOSS OF THE BRAKE LAMPS WITHOUT ANY WARNING TO THE DRIVER. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM I HAVE WITH MY VEHICLE. PLUS, THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL NOT SHUT-OFF BECASE THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE NOT TURNED ON WHEN PUSHING DOWN ON THE BRAKE PEDAL.

YOUR CAMPAIGN #'S 99V193000 & 99I006000 BOTH LIST A PROBLEM WITH THE ABS SYSTEM THAT SOUND IDENTICAL TO THE PROBLEM I HAVE. WHENEVER I'M BRAKING AND I RUN OVER ANY SLICK SURFACE (FOR INSTANCE: PAINTED CROSSWALK THAT IS WET FROM RAIN) OR HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD WHILE BRAKING MY VEHICLE MAKES A LOUD GRUNTING NOISE AND I LOSE MY BRAKES. I HAVE CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND THE DEALER AND THEY BOTH SAID YOUR CAMPAIGNS DOES NOT COVER MY VEHICLE, WHY NOT? MY PROBLEM SOUNDS EXACTLEY LIKE THE DESCRIPTION YOU GAVE ON THIS WEB SITE. IN ADDITION TO THIS PROBLEM I HAVE ANOTHER, THAT MAY BE RELATED TO THE FIRST PROBLEM. I HAVE PUT NEW BRAKES ON MY VEHICLE AND DRIVEN APPROX. 3-6000 MI. AND RETURNED TO THE BRAKE SHOP COMPLAINING ABOUT THE FIRST PROBLEM ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT MY BRAND NEW BRAKES ARE SHOT. SOME HOW THIS VEHICLE EATS BRAKE PADS. I BELEIVE IT TO BE RELATED TO THE MALFUNCTIONING ABS SYSTEM. *AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL:GAS RECIRCULATION VALVE (EGR VALVE), ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:CARBURETOR SYSTEM
I HAVE REPLACED THE EGR VALVE 3 TIMES ON THIS VEHICLE. I AM HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE VEHICLE RUNNING ROUGH. I WAS TOLD I HAVE ALOT OF CARBON BUILDUP AROUND THE EGR PORTS AND THIS IS BREAKING/FLAKING OFF. THE DEALER SAID THEY WOULD HAVE TO TAKE THE CYLINDER HEADS AND INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET AND SUBMERGE IN A HOT TANK OF ACID TO CLEAN THE CARBON OFF THESE PARTS. THE REPAIR QUOTE WAS $1600.00 AND THERE WAS NO QUARANTEE HOW LONG THIS WOULD TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEMS I AM HAVING WITH THIS VEHICLE.
