#703062February 8, 1999
POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:PARK/NEUTRAL START INTERLOCK SWITCH
MY WIFE PLACED K2500 SUBURBAN IN PARK IN GARAGE. REMOVED 9 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER FROM CAR SEAT, OPENED FRONT DRIVER'S DOOR AND STEPPED FROM TRUCK. THE TRUCK SUDDENLY MADE A LOUD NOISE AND BEGAN BACKING OUT OF LEVEL GARAGE, DRAGGING THEM TO DRIVEWAY. THEY GOT CLEAR OF TRUCK AND IT WENT DOWN STEEP DRIVEWAY ACROSS ALLEY AND UP NIEGHBOR'S STEEP DRIVEWAY THROUGH BRICK TRASH STRUCTURE AND INTO NEIGHBORS HOUSE. AT TIME OF RECOVERY ENGINE WAS RUNNING WITH EMERGENCY BRAKE APPROXIMATELY 1/3 OF THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. IT IS UNCLEAR WHETHER IT JUMPED FROM PARK TO REVERSE OR WAS NEVER FULLY IN PARK TO BEGIN WITH, HOWEVER THERE WAS A SIGNIFICANT TIME BETWEEN VEHICLE BEING PLACED IN PARK AND BEGINNING OR ROLL BACKWARDS. IN ADDITION, AT TIME IT BEGAN TO ROLL, NO ONE WAS IN THE TRUCK AS MY WIFE WAS STANDING NEXT TO IT, AND WAS CAUGHT BY THE OPEN DRIVER'S DOOR. HER RIGHT LEG WAS CAUGHT BY DRIVER'S FRONT TIRE AFTER BEING KNOCKED TO THE GROUND. *AK

STEERING: STEERING WHEEL/HANDLE BAR
THE STEERING COLUMN CAME LOOSE 3 TIMES(9/3/93, 12/16/97, 2/3/99). THIS IS A POOR DESIGN WITH CHEAP WHITE METAL PARTS. THE REPAIRS HAVE COST ME $1000 TO DATE($100,$400 AND$500). I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM. I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG MY LATEST REPAIR(REPLACEMENT OF THE STEERING COLUMN) WILL LAST. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE ON A $25000 VEHICLE. I AM RATHER RELUCTANT TO PROCURE ANOTHER GM VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THIS. *AK
