AC DELCO Complaints

-2008 CHEV. MALIBUE 2LT 2.4 4 CYLENDER WITH POWER ELECTRIC STEERING. PROBLEM: WHEN YOU 1ST STRUP THE VEHICLE THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES BACK AND FORTH. YOU HAVE TO SHUT DOWN AND RE START THE VEHICLE TO STOP THE PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP HAS COMPLETELY CHANGED OUT THE STEERING COLUMN BUT IT STILL DOES IT TWICE IT HAS OCCURING WHILE DRIVING WHEN I 1ST STARTED UP AND I HAD TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND SHUT OFF THE MOTOR ETC. TO STOP THE SHAKING. THIS HAS HAPPENED APPROX: 15 TIMES SINCE I GOT THE VEHICLE NEW IN JAN/08

I HAVE HAD MY BLOWER FAN MOTOR REPLACED THE DEALER JUST REPLACED MY CIGARETTE LIGHTER WHEN THEY WERE REPLACING MY RECALLED SPEEDOMETER THEY SAID THE WIRES WERE MELTED TO CIG ASSEMBLY, DAYS LATER MY TRUCK BURNT TO THE GROUND. THE CAUSE WAS THE HEATER RESISTER AND FAN MOTOR STARTED THIS FIRE. I AM OUT A TRUCK THE DEALER SAYS THAT'S WHAT INSURANCE IS FOR. BIG DEAL I GET 75% OF MY TRUCK'S VALUE. THIS WAS A 2005 2500HD EXTENDED CAB TRUCK IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. WHY DO WE AS CUSTOMERS HAVE TO PUT UP WITH THESE DEFECTS AND TAKE THE LOSS. WE SUFFER. THE QUESTION IS HOW MANY FIRES HAVE BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH THIS YEAR TRUCK AND THE FACTORIES PROBLEMS. WHEN DO WE AS HIGH PAYING CUSTOMERS GET SOME HELP WITH OR STRUGGLE TO KEEP WHAT WE PAID FOR STILL WORKING WITH OUT BEING BURNT. TW*

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1966 CHEVROLET IMPALA . HE PURCHASED AN EVERSTART MODEL # 24MS-6 BATTERY . SEVERAL DAYS LATER AFTER TURNING ON THE VEHICLE, HE HEARD A SIZZLING SOUND. HE PULLED OVER AND THEN OPENED THE HOOD, AND THE BATTERY EXPLODED IN HIS FACE. THERE WERE NO MAJOR INJURIES. THE STORE THAT SOLD HIM THE BATTERY WAS WALMART. A REPRESENTATIVE STATED THAT THEY NEEDED TO BRING THE BATTERY TO THE STORE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 85000. THE VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER WAS UNAVAILABLE.

CHEVY COBALT 2006 POWER STEERING FAIL IN MA CAR VERY DANGER, PLEASE MAY INVESTIGATION. BEFORE SOMEBODY DIES IN THIS CAR. *TR

OCTOBER 27, 2009 WAS THE 3RD TIME IN 4 DAYS THAT THE SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER HAVE STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING OR FAILED TO WORK PERIOD. I DON'T KNOW WHAT LED UP TO THE FAILURE IT JUST STARTED WHEN I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON FRIDAY OCTOBER 23, 2009 AND MY CRUISE CONTROL WAS SET AT 65 MPH AND I NOTICED MY CAR STARTED SLOWING DOWN AND I WAS ALMOST REARENDED I GAVE THE CAR SOME GAS AND I NOTICED THAT MY SPEEDOMETER WASN'T WORKING NOR WAS MY TACHOMETER. I HAVEN'T HAD ANYTHING DONE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND I HAVE NOTICED THAT MANY MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE WITH 2002 THROUGH 2005 MONTE CARLO'S. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. THIS WILL EVENTUALLY TAKE A LIFE IF NOT ADDRESSED AND FIXED BY CHEVROLET. THERE IS CLEARLY A HUGE PROBLEM THAT MUST BE RECALLED. I HAD A 1999 CHEVY SILVERADO THAT WAS RECALLED FOR FAULTY TAILGATE SUPPORT CABLES. THIS PROBLEM IS MUCH MORE SERIOUS THAN THAT WAS AND IT WAS RECALLED SO WHY NOT THIS? THE INSTRUMENT PANEL IN A CAR IS THE DRIVERS INFORMATION CENTER AND A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN IF IT IS PROVEN TO BE FAULTY. SPEED CONTROL IS REQUIRED BY ALL STATES AND IF A CAR MANUFACTURER HAS AN ISSUE THIS BIG WITH ONE OF ITS PRODUCTS THEN IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND NOT HIDDEN. THIS PROBLEM IS ALSO PRESENT IN MANY OTHER GM VEHICLES AS WELL. RESEARCH IT I DID AND I KNOW THERE IS A HUGE PROBLEM. I AM SURE YOU CAN REACH THE SAME CONCLUSION. TOOK ME ONLY 2 HOURS OF RESEARCH FOR ME TO REACT. HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE THE GOVERNMENT? MAYBE NEVER SINCE THEY NOW HAVE A VESTED INTEREST IN GM OR MAYBE A FEW HUGE LAWSUITS AGAINST GOVERNMENT MOTORS WILL CHANGE ITS MIND. *TR

AFTER 64,000 MILES ON A 2005 PONTIAC G6, I STARTED HEARING A CLUNK NOISE AFTER TURNING STEERING WHEEL AND WHILE DRIVING ON EXPRESSWAY OVER 50 MPH, MY STEERING WHEEL VIBRATES. IT FEELS AS THOUGH THE STEERING WHEEL IS LOOSE AND SOMETHING IS ABOUT TO COME APART ON MY CAR. I WENT TO A MECHANIC TO GET NEW BRAKE PADS AND HE STATED THAT THE VIBRATION AND STEERING NOISE WAS BECAUSE MY BALL JOINTS WERE BAD. I HANDLE THIS CAR EXTREMELY WELL AND CAN NOT UNDERSTAND WHY BALL JOINTS WOULD BE BAD SO SOON. HE ALSO STATED THAT AFTER TRYING TO FIND PARTS, ONLY THE DEALER SOLD THEM AND THEY WERE A WHOPPING 215.00 FOR EACH SIDE OF CAR. MY WARRANTY EXPIRED AND THIS IS GOING TO BE AN OUT OF POCKET COST. IT ALSO SEEMS THAT I HAVE TO KEEP REPLACING THE BRAKES AND ROTORS OFTEN. ADDITIONALLY MY POWER STEERING LIGHT COMES ON SPORADICALLY MAKING IT HARD FOR ME TO TURN THE WHEEL. *TR
