FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:STORAGE:FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM
PLEASE INVESTIGATE THE POTENTIAL OF FIRE/EXPLOSION CONCERNING THE FUEL TANK SENDING UNIT (IN OLDER MODEL G.M. VEHICLES) AND THE POSSIBILITY OF A "DIRECT SHORT" TO IT'S WIRING. I BELIEVE THIS COULD BE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. *AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING: REAR COMPARTMENT/TRUNK
THE LOCATION OF THE WIRING HARNESS, IN GENERAL, AND ITS LOCATION TO THE FUEL TANK IN A REAR END ACCIDENT WOULD MASH THE HARNESS BETWEEN THE BUMPER AND THE FUEL TANK. IF RUPTURE OCCURS THEN THE IGNITION SOURCE WOULD BE PRESENT, RESULTING INTO AN EXPLOSION. *AK

#756513January 7, 2002
CHILD SEAT:TETHER: STRAP/WEBBING
I HAVE A COMPLAINT REGARDING BOOSTER SEATS AND THE INABILITY TO PROPERLY SECURE MY 50 LB FOUR YEAR OLD. SHE IS TOO BIG FOR A 5 POINT HARNESS CAR SEAT (40 LBS) AND THERE ARE NO SHOULDER BELTS IN MY 1986 SUBURBAN TO USE A HIGH BACK BOOSTER SEAT. I CAN NOT COMPLY WITH THE NEW CALIFORNIA LAW AND AS A LOW INCOME FAMILY WE CANNOT AFFORD A NEW SUBURBAN FOR OUR 5 CHILDREN! WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO????

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE TIRES WERE PURCHASED NEW. THEY HAVE 30,000 MILES ON THEM. IN THE RECENT MONTHS ONE OF THE THEM HAS DEVELOPED A BULGE IN THE TREAD. ANOTHER IS OUT OF ROUND AND THERE IS AN AWFUL BOUNCE AT 45 MPH. THERE IS LEFT A LOT OF TREAD AND SHOWS NO REAL SIGNS OF WEAR. I AM WORRIED ABOUT TREAD SEPERATION. (DOT NUMBER: VDOR1WT145 TIRESIZE: 235 85RX16)
