VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS, STRUCTURE:BODY, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:POWER ASSIST:VACUUM, TIRES
ELECTRICAL- POWER WINDOWS INOPERABLE FOR THE FIRST 8 MONTHS THAT WE OWNED THIS VEHICLE, INVOLVED 5 TRIPS TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT BEFORE PROBLEM WAS FIXED. BODY DESIGN? PROBLEM - TIRES DID NOT CLEAR VEHICLE BODY WITHOUT RUBBING, CAUSING IRREVERSIBLE DAMAGE TO THE TIRES. TO THE EXTENT THAT THE DEALER KEEPS RECOMMENDING US TO BUY 4 NEW TIRES WHEN EVER THEY SERVICE OUR VEHICLE. BRAKES - POSSIBLE THAT THERE IS A KINK IN THE BRAKE BOOSTER VACUUM SUPPLY HOSE. I NEED TO SUGGEST TO DEALER THAT THEY CONSIDER THIS FOR A PROBLEM THAT WERE HAVING WITH A NOISE AND VIBRATION COMING FROM THE FRONT END WHEN YOU PRESS AND RELEASE THE BRAKE PEDAL. DEALER RECOMMENDS THAT WE BUY 4 NEW TIRES, THE PROBLEM WITH THAT DIAGNOSES IS THAT WE ALSO HEAR THE NOISE WHEN THE CAR IS NOT MOVING! I WONDER IF THEY READ THEIR TSB'S*AK (TIRESIZE: P265/70R16)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P265/70R16 )

STEERING:LINKAGES
CONTINUED INTERMITTENT POPPING NOISE WITH STEERING, LOSS CONTROL TWICE, INVOLVED IN ACCIDENT 04/22/00, POPPING WAS EVIDENT PRIOR TO ACCIDENT BUT NOT REPORTED BECAUSE THE SUBURBAN WAS NEW AND WE THOUGHT IT WAS THE WEAR IN OF A BRACKET, LEMON LAW PROCEDURE FILED AND ARBITRATION TENTATIVELY SCHEDULED FOR 01/29/01. GM'S POSITION IS THE POPPING AND STEERING PROBLEMS ARE DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE ACCIDENT. OUR POSITION IS EVIDENCED BY THE FACT THAT NT.PT CHEVROLET ADVISED US TO BEGIN LEMON LAW AND INVOICES DETAILING WARRANTY REPAIR AND INTERNAL CHARGES FOR REPAIRS TO THE LINKAGES., THE ACCIDENT DAMAGE WAS ONLY COSMETIC WITH NO COMPROMISE TO THE FRAME OR ENGINE. THE POPPING NOISE HAS NOW BECOME A RATTLING NOISE AND RATTLING VIBRATION IN THE STEERING COLUMN NOT NECESSARILY RESULTANT OF TURNING. *AK

VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM
(DURING COLD WEATHER WARM UP) LOADING VEHICLE WHILE RUNNING, WITH REAR HATCHBACK OPEN, AND HAVING REAR HEATER FAN ON HIGHER BLOWER SETTINGS: THIS ALLOWS EXHAUST FROM (RIGHT SIDE OF VEHICLE) TO BE PULLED INTO THE REAR HEAT AIR INTAKE VENT (ALSO ON THE RIGHT SIDE, EXTREME REAR OF VEHICLE) AND IS DISTIBUTED TO OCCUPANTS IN VEHICLE. WE HAD AN 11 MONTH OLD PLACED IN A CAR SEAT WHEN THIS OCCURRED (UPPER HEAT VENTS SELECTED) WHICH ALLOWED CARBON MONOXIDE TO BE BLOWN DIRECTLY INTO HIS FACE.. I IMAGINE THIS COULD OCCUR DURING ANY COLD WEATHER IDLING SITUATION WITH THE REAR HEATER FAN SETTING ON HIGHER POSITIONS (SUCH AS LOADING GROCERIES AFTER SHOPPING, WHILE CHILDREN SIT INSIDE). THANK YOU. *AK
