STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM
BOTH TIMES THE STEERING SENSOR FAILED WAS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE FIRST TIME I WAS SWITCHING LANES AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT OVER CORRECTED AND ALMOST SENT ME INTO THE DITCH AT 65 MPH. THE SECOND TIME MY WIFE WAS TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 65 MPH AND TURNED THE WHEEL A LITTLE AND IT SENT HER INTO THE NEXT LANE CUTTING OFF ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE FIRST TIME I HAD IT FIXED THE GUY SAID "OH YEAH WE HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THESE." THE NEXT TIME I HAD IT FIXED I FIGURED THEY WOULD JUST REPLACE IT SINCE THEY KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THEM, BUT THEY CHARGED MY $150 PARTS AND LABOR. I AM GOING TO CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER NEXT. IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS AND I CANNOT BELIEVE SOMETHING LIKE THIS ISN'T BEING CORRECTED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:12V/24V/48V BATTERY
THE BATTERY IN MY 1999 TAHOE HAS STARTED LEAKING FROM THE POSTIVE POST AND HAS DONE $ 480 DAMAGE TO THE CABLES AND STARTER MOTOR. THE SERVICE REP SAID THAT IT HAD BEEN LEAKING FOR A WHILE. I HAD IT IN FOR SERVICE JUST 10 DAYS BEFORE, AND NOTHEN WAS SAID ABOUT A LEAK. REAILABLE SAID THAT THE BATTERY IS A 6 YR. BATTERY, BUT WHEN IT IS PUT INTO A NEW VEHICLE THE WARRENTY IS FOR 3 YRS OR 36,000 MILES. HE SAID THAT DELCO HAS A PROBLEM WITH THEIR SIDE POST BATTERYS AND THEY ARE CHANGING OUT A LOT OF THEM, BUT BECAUSE I HAVE OVER 36,000 MILES, I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR MY WORK. WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE, I WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD NOT NEED A TUNE UP FOR 100,000 MILES AND IT HAS A MAINTANCE FREE BATTERY. HERE IT IS 28 MONTHS LATER AND ONLY 59,000 MILES AND THE BATTERY HAS DONE $480.00 OF DAMAGE, AND I FIND OUT IT IS HAPPING A LOT WITH DELCO BATTERYS. THIS CAN BE A HAZARD, BECAUSE THE ACID GETS ON DRIVEWAYS AND KIDS PLAY THERE. WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE, I ASK FRO A GM EXTENTED WARRENTY. I PAID $540.00 FOR THIS AND NOW I FIND OUT THAT I GOT SOME OTHER WARRENTY, NOT THE GM ONE AND IT DOESN'T COVER BATTERYS. WHAT IS THE CONSUMER SUPPOSE TO DO. I HAVE HAD THE REGULAR MAINTANCE REQUIRE BY GM DONE AT RELIABLE AND ONLY 10 DAYS EARILER IT WAS IN THEIR SHOP FOR OIL CHANGE AND GREASED AND I WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THIS DAMAGE. ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE ME WILL BE APPRECIATED. TO MAKE THING WORSE, I WAS CHARGED $34.95 BY RELIABLE TO RUN A DIAGNOSIS TEST TO DETERMINE THE BATTERY WAS LEAKING FROM THE POST. THE SERVICE REP RAISED THE HOOD WHEN I CARRIED IT IN AND SAID IT IS LEAKING FROM THE POST, THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH DELCO BATTERYS. I DON'T SEE WHY A TEST WAS THEN RAN.

TIRES
THE TIRE WAS DISCOVERED DEFECTIVE WHEN IT WAS SPIN BALANCED AFTER A TIRE ROTATION. ORIGINALLY IT WAS ON THE REAR, BUT WHEN MOVED UP FRONT A VIBRATION WAS NOTICED. IT WAS CHECKED AND BALANCED, BUT COULD NOT BE BALANCED. IT APPEARED WARPED AND WOBBLED WHILE ON THE BALANCER. THE TIRE WAS DEFECTIVE EARLY ON, BUT WASN'T NOTICED UNTIL IT WAS PUT UP FRONT. TRIED PUTTING ON OVER 4 OZ. OF WEIGHT ON EACH SIDE, BUT STILL WOULDN'T BALANCE. THIS COULD POSSIBLY BE INITIAL SIGNS OF BELT SEPARATION? (TIRESIZE: 265/70R16)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 265/70R16 )

TIRES:TREAD/BELT
WAS DRIVING IN NEWMEXICO ON HOT SUMER DAY. TIRE FAILED. THE TREAD AND SIDEWALL SHREADED. FIRESTONE CLAIMED IT WAS NOT THEIR FAULT! FINALLY REPLACED THE TIRE AT A DISCOUNT PRICE OF $70.00. THERE WAS NO REASON FOR THIS TIRE TO HAVE FAILED. HAD BEEN DRIVEN THE DAY BEFORE ABOUT 800 MILES OVER HOT HIGHWAY. THIS WAS A BRAND NEW TIRE ON A NEW VEHICLE. SO SIGN OF A HOLE OR DAMAGE COULD BE FOUND. HOWEVER TIRE WAS IN BAD SHAPE. (TIRESIZE: P265 70R16)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P265 70R16 )
