STEERING:COLUMN LOCKING:ANTI-THEFT DEVICE, EQUIPMENT, STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR, SUSPENSION
CONSUMER STATES BASED ON THE DESCRIPTION IN THE OWNERS MANUAL, EVEN IF PROPERLY ARMED BY FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS, THE CONTENT THEFT - DETERRENT ALARM SYSTEM WILL ONLY SOUND IF THE VEHICLE DOOR IS OPENED FROM WITHIN THE VEHICLE AFTER THE MANUAL LOCK HAS BEEN UTILIZED FROM THE INSIDE. CONSUMER FEELS THAT ACCESS HAS ALREADY BEEN GAINED TO THE INTERIOR AND THEREFORE IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO UNLOCK THE MANUAL LOCK, OR OPEN THE DOOR TO STEAL THE CONTENTS, THEREBY BYPASSING THE ALARM SYSTEM ALTOGETHER. *TT

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
THERE IS EXCESSIVE ENGINE NOISE, THAT THE DEALERSHIP HAS SAID IS ENGINE LIFTERS. ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP GM HAS DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS AN OIL PUMP ISSUE. THEY SAY THAT SUFFICIENT OIL IS NOT PUMPED TO THE ENGINE, SO THERE IS A LACK OF LUBRICATION. THE RESULT IS A TYPICAL "LIFTER STICKING" NOISE. THE DEALER SAYS THAT GM HAS NOT ISSUED ANY SORT OF A RECALL YET! IN FACT THEY SAY THERE IS NOT AN ADVERSE EFFECT OR DAMAGED BEING CAUSED TO THE ENGINE. I FIND THIS HARD TO BELIEVE AS PROPER LUBRICATION IS CRUCIAL TO MOTOR LONGEVITY. I BELIEVE THIS IS A RECALL ISSUE, AND THE LONG GM WAITS TO DIAGNOSE AND RECALL THIS PROBLEM, DAMAGE TO THIS VEHICLE WILL ONLY WORSEN. IF ALL ALLOWED TO GO LONG ENOUGH, I WOULD THINK GM WOULD BE LOOKING AT HAVING TO REPLACE MOTOR BLOCKS, RATHER THAN INSTALLING AN OIL PUMP THAT CAN HANDLE THE TASK OF GETTING OIL TO THE CRANK CASE. *TS *NLM ****DIMSII IVOQ ENTRY POSTED AFTER 12-12-02 CUT OVER TO ARTEMIS****761983

TIRES
TIRE DEVELOPED A LARGE EGG SHAPED BUBBLE ON RIGHT, OUTSIDE HALF OF TREAD AREA. NOT ON SIDEWALL BUT DIRECTLY ON THE THREAD. THE VEHICLE STARTED TO ROCK VIOLENTLY FROM SIDE TO SIDE CAUSING THE RIGHT FRONT END TO DIP AND RISE RAPIDLY. I STOPPED IMMEDIATELY AND OBSERVED THIS BUBBLE. I DROVE THE REST OF THE WAY HOME, APPROXIMATELY 2 MILES. AT 10 MPH. WHEN I ARIVED HOME THE TIRE THEN DEFLATED BUT IT DID NOT BURST. THE TIRE IS FLAT BUT INTACT. IS THIS A TIRE YOU WOULD BE INTERESTED IN TESTING OR CHECKING OUT? PLEASE ADVISE. I CAN SEE FROM MY EXPERIENCE HOW THE CAR COULD OVER TURN DUE TO THIS INCREASING VIOLENT RISING AND DIPPING OF THE FRONT END. IF THIS OCCURRED ON A DIP AND THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED I BELIEVE IT WOULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO ROLL OVER VERY QUICKLY. THANKS JOHN. *AK
