1998 Chevrolet Truck M/L Van Other / unspecified Problems

BRAKE FAILURE ON JUNE 21 2017, CAUSED ACCIDENT SAME ACCIDENT ON NOVEMBER 17 2017 AND AGAIN ON SEPTEMBER 1 2019. I HAVE HAD THE TRUCK IN SHOP TO BE FIXED NUMEROUS TIMES... ABS SENSOR IN FRONT RIGHT WHEEL WAS SUPPOSEDLY BAD. IT DID NOT FIX PROBLEM BC 3 RD ACCIDENT HAPPENED WEEKS AFTER. 9/11/19 GM RELEASED RECALL FOR BREAK FAILURE DUE TO THE VACUUM BOOSTER. MY ISSUE IS EXACTLY WHAT GM HAD JUST ANNOUNCED. CHEVY DEALER AND GM CORPORATE BOTH SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH BRAKES BUT THEY STILL GIVE OUT SLOWING DOWN INTERMITTENTLY. WHY ISNT MY VIN ASSOCIATED WITH THE MOST RECENT RECALL? BECAUSE FOR 3 YEARS NO ONE BELIEVED ME THAT THE BRAKES WERE FAILING.. I LOST MONTHS OF MY WARRANTY AND NOTHING WAS REPAIRED BC THEY SAID THEY WERE IN WORKING CONDITION AND THAT THERE WAS NO ISSUES. ALSO AT HIGH SPEEDS THE TRUCK SHAKES AND/OR VIBRATES, ALSO TOLD NOTHING WAS WRONG, I HAVE ELECTRICAL ISSUE THAT CAUSE ELECTRONIC SCREEN TO GO OUT, THEY SEEN VIDEO OF IT HAPPENING BUT WONT REPLACE IT UNLESS IT HAPPENS AT DEALERSHIP WHEN I BRING IT. THIS TRUCK HAS ALL ISSUES PERTAINING TO RECALLS BUT NOT ACCORDING TO VIN#. THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. ISSUE ARE SPORADIC AND INTERMITTENT WITH NO WARNING. I HAVE RECEIVED TICKETS, POINTS, AND BEING SUED BC OF THIS . LOST OUT ON MONTHS OF WARRANTY BC SERVICE CENTERS WERE TOLD NOT TO WORK ON IT UNTIL GM CORP DID THERE INVESTIGATION WHICH THEY SAID NOTHING IS WRONG ALSO.... NOW FINALLY THE LATEST RECALL FOR BREAK FAILURE CAME OUT ON 9/6/19 BUT MY VIN IS NOT UNDER IT AND MUST BE BECAUSE THE RECALL IS 100%ACCURATE TO WHAT IM EXPERIENCING WITH THE BRAKE FAILURE. THE PEDAL GETS HARD, OR GOES TO FLOOR INCREASING STOPPING DISTANCE... THIS IS UNSAFE AND DANGEROUS ON THE ROAD.SOMETHJGN NEEDS TO BE DONE

I HAVE A 2004 CHEVY AVALANCHE & THE BRAKES WENT OUT. THE PROBLEM WAS A RUSTY LINE ON TOP OF THE FRAME UNDER THE DRIVERS SEAT.., THE WAY THE WIRING HARNESSES ARE PLACED MUD & SALT GETS TRAPPED ON TOP TO THE FRAME & RUSTS OUT THE BRAKE LINE. THIS IS THE ONLY AREA WHERE THE LINES ARE ATTACHED SO THAT THE MUD & SALT CANT GET AWAY FROM THE BRAKE LINE.., IM SURE THERE MUST BE MILLIONS OF TRUCKS & SUVS WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM... THE LINES ARE HIDDEN & YOU CAN ONLY FIND THEM BY LOOSENING THE WIRING HARNESSES & FEELING WITH YOUR FINGERS...

WAS DRIVING NORTH ON I-77 AT 65 MPH. AT ABOUT EXIT 33, MY BRAKES FAILED WITH COMPLETE LOSS OF BRAKING POWER AND SEVERAL WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED (STABILITY TRACK AND OTHER WARNING LIGHTS I DON'T REMEMBER). ONCE I WAS SAFELY OFF OF THE ROAD (USING GEARS TO REDUCE SPEED) AND SHUT OFF CAR AND TURNED ON CAR THE BRAKES WERE WORKING AGAIN. THIS IS THE ONLY TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH MY CAR. MY CAR WAS RECENTLY SERVICES AND BRAKE FLUID LEVELS WERE NORMAL. I DRIVE A 2008 CHEVY TAHOE HYBRID AND THIS TYPE OF ISSUE HAS BEEN REPORTED ON FORUMS RELATED TO THIS MAKE/MODEL OF CAR. FIRESTONE WAS ABLE TO SEE AN ELECTRONIC FAULT ON THE COMPUTER (I DROVE TO THE NEAREST PLACE THAT COULD PROVIDE SERVICE) BUT CHEVY WAS UNABLE TO FIND A CODE (RANDY MARION CHEVY IN MOORESVILLE, NC).

RECENTLY ON MY 2001 CHEVY TAHOE THE LIFTGATE GLASS HINGE SEPARATED FROM THE MOLDING (APPEARED TO BE GLUED) CAUSING THE LIFTGATE WINDOW GLASS TO BECOME UNSAFE SINCE IT IS NOW HELD ONTO THE CAR BY ONLY ONE RUBBER HINGE BRACKET AND DEFOG WIRE. THE GLASS IN THE LIFTGATE WILL NOT CLOSE AND COULD EASILY BECOME SEPARATED FROM THE CAR WHILE IN MOTION MAKING THE CAR IN OPERABLE. THE CHEVY DEALER HAD SEEN THE PROBLEM BEFORE BUT SINCE THERE IS NO RECALL ON IT MY ONLY RECOURSE WAS TO PURCHASE A NEW REAR LIFTGATE WINDOW AT A COST OF NEARLY $1200. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SERIOUS DESIGN DEFECT. PLEASE ACCEPT THIS AS AN OFFICIAL COMPLAINT OF RECORD ON THIS VEHICLE.

THE BRAKES AND SPECIFICALLY THE LOCKING HUB CONVERSION KITS SOLD BY THE RAM MAN INC ARE UNSAFE AND ARE FAILING UNDER NORMAL CONDITION. JUNE 6, 2016 I DIDN'T TEST OUT THE HUBS BEFORE INSTALLING THEM. INSTALLED THE KIT 1 WEEK AGO (MAY 31, 2016) I NEVER PUT THE TRUCK INTO 4WD TO SEE IF THEY LOCKED IN BUT COULD MANUALLY SEE THAT THE WHEELS DIDN'T SPIN THE CV AXIL WHEN UNLOCKED. WHILE DRIVING, I WAS CAUGHT IN SOME SAND AND SOUGHT TO PUT THE TRUCK BACK INTO 4WD. HOWEVER, AFTER LOCKING THE HUBS I DISCOVERED THAT EVEN WHEN LOCKED THE WHEELS WOULD NOT SPIN. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION WHILE LOCKED, THE DRIVE SHAFT WOULD SPIN BUT IT WOULDN'T SPIN THE CV AXIL CONNECTED TO THE WHEELS. I BELIEVE THAT THERE WAS A WEAK SPOT WHERE THE HUBS WERE MACHINED CAUSING THE SUPPLIED AXIL TO BREAK OFF. WHILE THE PROBLEM NEVER OCCURED WHILE DRIVING, AND THERE WAS NO SOUND TO INDICATE THAT THE PRODUCT BROKE WHILE THE HUBS WERE LOCKED, THE PRODUCT FAILED AND IS NO LONGER USEABLE. WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE DONE? I WOULD LIKE A FULL REFUND OR WORKING PRODUCT AS I BELIEVES THAT I WAS SHIPPED A BAD CV AXIL FROM THE START. ESSENTIALLY, THE PRODUCT WAS MACHINED INCORRECTLY CAUSING IT TO FAIL WHEN NEEDED. DESPITE PUTTING THE HUBS IN 4WD DRIVE, THE HUBS DO NOT LOCK AND LEAVE THE VEHICLE IN 2WD.

I HAD A SERVICE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT T ON IN MY 2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO PICK UP TRUCK. I WENT TO A DEALER TO HAVE IT SERVICED.AND WAS TOLD THAT THE RIGHT FRONT IMPACT SENSOR WAS CORRODED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. I FELT THAT THIS BEING A SAFETY ISSUE THAT GENERAL MOTORS SHOULD COVER THE COST OF REPAIR. I CALLED G.M. AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS AN ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE AND THE SALT AIR IN MY AREA CAUSED THE CORROSION AND G.M WAS NOT RESPONSIBLE. I TOLD THE PERSON THAT I WAS TALKING TO THAT APPARENTLY G.M. M,UST BE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM IF THEY KNOW THAT THE SALT AIR CORRODES THE SENSORS. FURTHERMORE I MENTIONED THE FACT THAT SINCE THERE IS A PROBLEM THAT THE AIR BAG COULD POSSIBLE INFLATE WHILE DRIVING AND POSSIBLY CAUSE THE DRIVER TO SWERVE OFF THE ROAD OR INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE THUS CAUSING DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY. I WAS THEN GIVEN A FILE NUMBER (71-1127296694) AND TOLD THE MATTER WOULD BE INVESTIGATED. I LATER RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM A G.M. REP. WHO SAID HE LOOKED INTO MY COMPLAINT AND SINCE IT WAS AN ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE G.M. WAS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRS. I THEN STATED TO HIM THAT I WAS AWARE THAT CHRYSLER RECENTLY HAD A RECALL OF VEHICLES TO BE REPAIRED BECAUSE THE AIRBAG SENSORS WERE CORRODING. I WAS TOLD THAT G.M. HAD NO SUCH RECALL. MY ARGUMENT IS THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE CORRODED SENSORS COULD MALFUNCTION AND CAUSE THE AIR BAGS TO DEPLOY THUS CAUSING THE DRIVER TO SWERVE AND POTENTIALLY GET INTO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. CHRYSLER CORP. MUST HAVE REALIZED THIS BECAUSE THEY HAD A RECALL. G.M.DOES NOT SEEM TO CARE AND IS APPARENTLY WAITING UNTIL THERE ARE SERIOUS ACCIDENTS AND THEY ARE FORCED TO RECALL VEHICLES.I ALSO WONDER IF G.M. AND CHRYSLER USE THE SAME VENDOR TO PURCHASE THE SENSORS. MOST LIKELY THEY DO AS THERE ARE PROBABLY NOT MANY COMPANY'S THAT MANUFACTURE THEM. I FEEL THIS IS POTENTIALLY SERIOUS SITUATION PLUS THE FACT THAT ANOTHER AUTOMOBILE MANUFACTURER RECOGNIZED THE PROBLEM PERHAPS YOUR AGENCY SHOULD INVESTIGATE. *TR
