SUSPENSION:FRONT
WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 60-65 A VIBRATION IN THE FRONT STARTED TO OCCUR. THE VIBRATION WOULD BE SO BAD THAT I COULD BEARLY HOLD ON TO THE STEERING WHEEL. IT WOULD THEN FADE IN 5 MILES OR SO. I HAD IT BACK TO THE DEALER TWICE AND THEY COULD NOT FIND THE CAUSE. I RECENTLY DISCOVERED THAT WHEN THE VIBRATION STARTED TO OCCUR I COULD USE MY LEFT FOOT AND LIFT UP ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE VIBRATION WOULD IMMEDIATLEY STOP. I HAVE NOT HAD THE CHANCE TO TELL THE DEALER THIS NEW INFORMATION.*AK

POWER TRAIN:AXLE ASSEMBLY:AXLE SHAFT
I AM WRITING TO CALL YOUR ATTENTION TO AND SEEK ASSISTANCE IN REMEDYING A PROBLEM FACED BY GENERAL MOTORS (GM) OWNERS NATION-WIDE -- A PROBLEM GM REFUSES TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR AND CORRECT FULLY EVEN WHILE NEVERTHELESS ACKNOWLEDGING IT MANUFACTURED VEHICLES WITH FLAWED PARTS. THE PROBLEM IS ENGINE BEARING NOISE NOISE OF THE ENGINES MAIN AND ROD BEARINGS KNOCKING AGAINST THE CRANKSHAFT AND ENGINE BLOCK. SEEMS 1996 THROUGH 1999 GM MODELS WITH EITHER A 5.0L OR 5.7L ENGINE WERE DEFECTIVELY MANUFACTURED. PERMANENT CORRECTION OF THE PROBLEM CAN PLACE AN UNJUSTIFIED AND EXPENSIVE HARDSHIP ON THE OWNER. ADDITIONALLY, THE PROBLEM LEFT UNCORRECTED COULD RESULT IN ENGINE FAILURE WHILE DRIVING AND THEREFORE ADVERSELY AFFECT SAFETY ON THE NATIONS HIGHWAYS. THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP.

WHEN TAKING FOOT OF GAS PEDAL VEHICLE WILL CONTINUE AT CURRENT SPEED WITHOUT SLOWING DOWN. IN ORDER TO SLOW VEHICLE DOWN, CONSUMER MUST APPLY BRAKES. WHEN CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP, THEY INSTALLED AN IDLE AIR CONTROL VALVE WHICH CORRECTED THIS DEFECT FOR APPROXIMATELY 4,000 MILES. "CRUISE" DEFECT HAPPENED AGAIN, AND THE IDLE AIR CONTROL VALVE WAS REPLACED BY A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP. AT 29,000 MILES, ENGINE WILL BACK DOWN APPROXIMATELY 5 TO 10 SECONDS AFTER THE CONSUMER REMOVES FOOT FROM GAS PEDAL. *AK THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND STATED THE CONDITION OF THE VEHICLE AS NORMAL. *YH
