FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY
ENGINE QUIT JUST LIKE SHUTTING OFF OF IGNITION SWITCH. THE PROBLEM TURNED OUT TO BE THE FUEL PUMP. WHILE REMOVING THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY NOTED THAT THE ATTACHING PLUG FOR THE FUEL PUMP HAD ARCED DESTROYING THE PLUG, AND THE WIRE SUPPLYING THE POWER TO THE PUMP HAD ALL THE INSULATION BURNED OFF AND THE WIRE WAS PARTIALLY MELTED. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, AS THE ARCING AND MELTING OF WIRES INSIDE THE FUEL TANK COULD CAUSE AND EXPLOSION IF THE FUEL/AIR MISTURE REACHED STOICHIOMETRIC CONDITIONS.

VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE VEHICLE IS IN AWD OR 4-WHEEL DRIVE - STEP ON THE GAS AFTER BEING STOPPED, THE TRANSMISSION SOUNDS AS IF IT IS ABOUT TO FALL OFF. WHEN IN 4-WHEEL DRIVE THE VEHICLE IS DIFFICULT TO TURN. ALSO, REAR HEATER TAKES 30 MINUTES TO HEAT UP, AND THEN ONLY BLOWS LUKE WARM AIR WHEN THE GAS PEDAL IS DEPRESSED. MANUFACURER STATES BY DESIGN.*AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD NUMEROUS BRAKE JOBS DONE AT FENTON MOTORS. WHEN USING THE BRAKES THE VEHICLE WILL PULL TO THE RIGHT.WE HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE IN OVER SEVEN TIMES TO FIX THE BRAKES. THE BRAKES WILL WORK FOR AWHILE AND THEN THE SAME PROBLEMS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. FENTONS HAVE NOT BEEN VERY HELPFUL WITH THIS PROBLEM AND THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE LEMONED. I WOULD HATE FOR SOME NEW OWNER TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND POSSIBLE TO KILL SOMEONE OR BE KILLED BECAUSE OF THE BRAKES.*AK

#758296February 15, 2002
POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED VERY HARD INTO 2ND GEAR. WHEN I CAME TO A STOP AND WENT TO GO THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO SECOND GEAR. IT WOULD PRCEED INTO THIRD GEAR AFTER THE ENGINE WOULD REV UP TO A HIGHER RPM. I CONTACTED SEVERAL TRANSMISSION SHOPS AND A DEALERSHIP. THEY ALL SAID THAT I LOST THE 2ND/4TH GEAR INTEMEDIATE SHAFT WHICH ALSO INCLUDED THE REVERSE GEAR ALSO. THIS IS ON A 700R4 TRANSMISSON. THEY ALL SAID GM KNEW ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT WOULD NOT DO A RECALL ON THAT MODEL YEAR BECAUSE OF THE EXTENIVE USE OF THAT TRANMISSION IN ALL OF THEIR VEHICLES . THEY SAID THAT ALMOST ALL OF THE TRANSMISSION HAD THE FAULTY INTERMEDIATE SHAFT. THIS COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS PROBLEM FOR SOME VEHICLE OWNERS IF THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AT AN INOPPORTUNE TIME, ESPECIALLY IN AN EMERGENCY THAT THEY HAD TO REVERSE QUICKLY. I HAD THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED AT A LOCAL SHOP AT A VERY HIGH EXPENSE. I THOUGHT I WOULD SUBMIT THIS DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF VEHICLES THAT USED THIS TRANSMISSIONIN THAT YEAR AND FOR THE SAFETY OF THE OWNERS.*AK
