SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP, VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER:MOTOR
WINDSHIELD WIPERS CONTINUOUSLY STARTED AND STOPPED, EVENTUALLY STOPPING ALTOGETHER WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN. WIPER MOTOR AND CIRCUIT BOARD WERE REPLACED AT OWNER COST TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. ACTIVATION OF ANTILOCK BRAKES PRODUCE VEHICLE SURGES AND/OR GREATLY INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCES AND/OR DO NOT STOP VEHICLE. PROBLEM HAS PERSISTED SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW IN 1993. ALSO, ON DESCENTS OF MUDDY, SNOWY AND/OR ROCKY ROADS, ANTILOCK BRAKES WHILE ACTIVATED INCREASE SPEED OF VEHICLE AND WILL NOT THE STOP VEHICLE UNLESS THE ANTILOCK FEATURE IS DEACTIVATED BY RELEASING AND THEN DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. PROBLEM OCCURS AT ALL SPEEDS (3MPH THROUGH HIGHWAY SPEEDS). NORMAL BRAKING IS OK. BRAKE PADS HAVE BEEN REPLACED AT NORMAL INTERVALS AND FRONT ROTORS HAVE ALSO BEEN RELACED - NEITHER REPLACEMENT CORRECTED OR IMPROVED THE ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEM'S OPERATION OR RESPONSIVENESS. *AK

SEATS
ON MARCH 05, 1999 AT 7:14 P.M. I WAS THE VICTIM OF A REAR END COLLISION. THE DRIVERS SEAT OF MY SUBURBAN, PLATE# 3SLU868, COLLAPSED. AS A RESULT I SUFFERED INJURIES TO MY NECK AND RIGHT SHOULDER.

I IMPLORE YOU TO LOOK INTO THIS MATTER AS EVERY ACCIDENT AFFECTS THE LIVES OF AMERICAN CITIZENS AND OUR GNP. I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO WORK SINCE MY ACCIDENT AND AM CONSTANTLY IN GREAT PAIN.
