VEHICLE TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 73,500 MILES. VEHICLE JUST STOPPED IN MIDDLE OF HIGHWAY WHILE TRAVELING AT APPROX 45 MILES PER HOUR. SUBSEQUENT REBUILD BY MECHANIC REVEALED THAT GM HAD INSTALLED INCORRECT VALVE BODY GASKETS IN THE TRANSMISSION, LIKELY CONTRIBUTING TO THE PREMATURE FAILURE. *TR

REAR ENDED A SUV AT 40 MPH WITHOUT BREAKING AND THE AIR BAGSA DID NOT DEPLOY. *TT

REAR METAL BRAKE LINE BURST WHILE MANEUVERING IN PARKING LOT, LOSING REAR SERVICE BRAKES. BRAKE FLUID WAS GUSHING FROM BURST LINE ONTO GROUND. A QUICK EXAMINATION REVEALED BURST BRAKE LINE IS COMPLETELY RUSTED. VEHICLE PASSED STATE INSPECTION AND 27 POINT SAFETY INSPECTION PERFORMED BY GM DEALER THIS PAST JULY. DURING THE FIRST WEEK OF AUGUST, I TOWED MY SON'S DISABLED VEHICLE BACK FROM CENTRAL PA.(140 MILES). WITH THE TOW DOLLY AND HIS CAR - I WAS PULLING CLOSE TO 4000 POUNDS. CAN YOU IMAGINE IF THIS LINE BURST ON INTERSTATE 80 AT 55 MPH? WHEN DOES THIS HORROR END? THIS VEHICLE HAS PREVIOUSLY ENCOUNTERED SUDDEN AND UNEXPECTED BRAKE FAILURE DUE TO METAL BRAKE LINES RUSTING TO THE POINT OF SUDDEN FAILURE. SEE NHTSA ODI NUMBER: 10268917. ADDITIONAL DETAIL AND PICTURES REGARDING RUSTING BRAKE LINES ON MY VEHICLES CAN BE SEEN AT: HTTP://SITES.GOOGLE.COM/SITE/GMBADBRAKES/. *TR

FIRST THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING, THEN THE TACHOMETER STOPPED WORKING AND THE LATEST IS THE FUEL GAUGE. *TR

MY 2004 MODEL AT 70 MPH THE FRONT RIGHT WHEEL ACT LIKE A BASKETBALL AFTER HITTING A HOLE, I CROSS THE LANE INTO THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC, OR THE LEFT LANE ON AN INTERSTATE ETC. THERE IS NO CONTROL UNTIL I SLOW DOWN. THE DEALER SHIP HERE SAYS THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF IT BEFORE. SO I ASK - WHAT DID THEY DO TO MY 2000 MODEL WHEN IT DID THE SAME THING 4 YEARS AGO ? *TR
