VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER:MOTOR
I CALLED THE NHTSA OFFICE AND REPORTED THIS BY PHONE IN NOVEMBER 2000. THEY TOOK THE SAME INFORMATION AND SAID THAT I WOULD RECEIVE A FORM IN THE MAIL TO SIGN AND RETURN. THE FORM HAS NEVER BEEN RECEIVED. THE DEALER SERVICE TECH. THOUGHT THIS WOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE RECALL.(THIS IS HOW I FOUND OUT THERE WAS ONE) WHEN THE SERVICE MANAGER CHECKED, HE SAID IT DID NOT FALL INTO THE LIST OF VIN #'S. WHEN I CONTACTED GENERAL MOTORS ABOUT THIS ISSUE, THEY SAID THAT I WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL THAT IS ALREADY GOING ON. MY VIN # WAS NOT ON THE LIST. I HAD THE DEALER REPLACE THE CIRCUIT BOARD AT MY COST. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE RECALL EXPANDED AND MY MONEY REIMBURSED. THANK YOU! *AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
I BELIEVE THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS MODULE. I HAVE TALKED TO SERVICE MANAGERS AT 3 DIFFERENT LOCATIONS AND THEY HAVE ALL SAID THAT THE PROBLEM EXIST ON THESE MODELS. THEY HAVE SEEN IT ON TRUCKS WITH LOW MILEAGE ALSO. ONE OF THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THAT HE BELIEVES THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THEM. I HAVE A HARD TIME BELIEVING IF YOU CAN CALL ANY DEALERSHIP AND TELL THEM THE PROBLEM I'M HAVING THEY WILL ALL SAY IT IS A RELAY INSIDE THE MODULE THAT HAS GONE BAD AND THE MODULE MUST BE REPLACED AT $1000.; THEREFORE, THERE MUST BE A PROBLEM WITH THESE MODULES SHORTING OUT. ALSO, EVERYDAY I PASS UP1999 AND 2000 MODELS TRUCKS LIKE MINE AND SEE ONE OF THE RUNNING LIGHTS OUT. I HAVE PERSONALLY REPACED MINE TWICE AND IT IS OUT AGAIN, TOO ME THAT,S A PROBLEM ALSO. I HOPE TO HEAR BACK FROM YOU SOON.*AK

TIRES
I HAD NO TROUBLE WITH THE TIRES UNTIL LATE MAY, 2000. DURING THE LAST WEEK OF MAY THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF JUNE 2000, I HAD FIVE FLATS ON THESE TIRES. APPARENTLY, THE TEMPERATURE IN TEXAS WAS A FACTOR. THERE WAS NEVER ANY FOREIGN OBJECT IN THE HOLE IN THE TIRE. THE HOLES WERE ALWAYS OF A RUPTURE TYPE, NEVER A CLEAN PUNCTURE. THE FLATS ALWAYS OCCURRED WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON GRAVEL ROADS. THE LAST FLAT WAS ON THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE. I WAS AGAIN ON A GRAVEL ROAD AND WAS FORCED TO BRAKE SUDDENLY. IMMEDIATELY UPON BRAKING, I EXPERIENCED A RAPID, ALMOST INSTANTANEOUS, DEFLATION OF THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE. THE TIRE WAS NOT REPAIRABLE, AS THE STAR SHAPED HOLE WAS APPROXIMATELY 2-3 INCHES IN DIAMETER. AFTER THIS FAILURE, WITH LESS THAN 12,000 MILES WEAR ON THEM, I REPLACED ALL FOUR TIRES ON MY TRUCK. AT THAT TIME, NOTHING HAD BEEN MADE PUBLIC ABOUT PROBLEMS WITH FIRESTONE TIRES. *AK (DOT NUMBER: W273WMA279 TIRESIZE: P26575R16)

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
PROBLEM ONLY OCCURES WHEN ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION ARE COMPLETLY WARMED AND TRANSMISSION IS IN OVERDRIVE MODE. IF TRANSMISSION IS IN DRIVE "3" NO PROBLEMS OCCUR AT ANY ENGINE SPEED. DEALER STATES ON REPAIR ORDER, "NORMAL CONDITION AT THIS TIME UNTIL AN UPDATE COMES OUT". SUGGESTION WAS MADE BY DEALER THAT THIS COULD BE CAUSED BY TOURQUE CONVERTER.
