STEERING: STEERING WHEEL/HANDLE BAR
THERE WAS A GM RECALL FOR 98-2000. THOUGH 97 AN OTHER LATER YEAR MODEL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THE PART WAS REPLACED IN JUNE 2001 AND CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP WON'T EVEN GUARANTEE OR ARE CAUTIOUS ABOUT GM'S DEFECT IN MY CAR. I HAVE NOT PAID BECAUSE I AM SEEKING FAIRNESS AND THEY DON'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING TO THE CAR. GM'S DEFECT IN THEIR CORVETTES HAS HAPPENED TO MANY. QUOTE THE DEALERSHIP IT WILL BE $384 OR IF YOU WANT TO TAKE IT AND DEAL WITH IT SOMEWHERE ELSE. PLEASE RESPOND PROMPTLY. I KNOW AN ISSUE WAS SENT OUT TO 98-2000 BUT THE SAME PARTS HAVE BEEN USED ON 97 AND SOME 2001 MANUAL MODELS IT IS VERY UNFAIR.*AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS
COMPLETE FAILURE OF DOT APPROVED STAINLESS BRAIDED TEFLON BRAKE LINE, THE LINE CAME APART ON THE CONNECTION WHERE IT ENTERS INTO THE CALIPER. THIS CAUSED ALL BRAKE FLUID TO LEAVE THE SYSTEM, LEAVING LITTLE TO NO BRAKES. PEOPLE TEND TO BUY THESE TYPE OF BRAKE LINES BECAUSE THEY DO NOT FAIL, AS THE OME RUBBER LINE CAN. THE MAKER OF THESE BRAKE LINE ARE RUSSELL PERFORMANCE PRODUCTS AT 2645 GUNDRY AVE., SIGNAL HILL, CA 90806. THEY ARE SOLD UNDER THE NAME "STREET LEGAL STAINLESS BRAIDED TEFLON BRAKE LINES.

#764556July 22, 2002
STEERING: STEERING WHEEL/HANDLE BAR, EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL
VEHICLE WAS PARKED. AFTER STARTING THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT TURN. DASHBORD MESSAGE STATED "REMOVE KEY WAIT TEN SECONDS." I DID AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE BUT THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT TURN. DASHBOARD MESSAGE STATED "SERVICE STEERING COLUMN." AFTER REPEATED ATTEMPTS OF STOPPING, STARTING VEHICLE AND TRYING TO TURN THE WHEEL IT REMAINED LOCKED. I CALLED AAA FOR A TOW TRUCK - WHILE WAITING FOR IT TO ARRIVE I CONTINUED TO TRY TO UNLOCK THE WHEEL. AFTER AROUND TWENTY MINUTES OF TRYING IT FINALLY UNLOCKED. I CANCELLED THE TOW TRUCK AND DROVE TO THE DEALER. IF I HAD KNOWN THE STEERING WHEEL COULD LOCK AGAIN WHILE I WAS DRIVING, AS I DETERMINED BY SUBSEQUENT INTERNET RESEARCH, I WOULD NOT HAVE DRIVEN TO THE DEALER. MY OUT OF POCKET COST FOR THE DEALER'S REPLACEMENT OF THE STEERING COLUMN LOCK WAS $100 BECAUSE I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AND SHOULD BE THE SUBJECT OF A RECALL.*AK REF. IN EA02-031 *CJS

STEERING: STEERING WHEEL/HANDLE BAR
STEERING COLUMN WOULD NOT UNLOCK AND CAR WAS TOTALLY UNDRIVABLE. HAD TO BE PICKED UP AND TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP. A RECALL IS IN PLACE FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM ON CERTAIN 1998 AND 1999 MODELS. THERE SHOULD ALSO EITHER BE A RECALL ON 1997 MODELS WITH THE PROBLEM, OR AT THE VERY LEAST, IT SHOULD BE HANDLED AS A RECALLED VEHICLE WOULD BE AT NO COST WHEN THE PROBLEM ARISES.*AK REF.
