WHEN APPLYING BRAKES PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR, CAUSING EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. CAUSE UNKNOWN. PLEASE GIVE ANY FURTHER DETAILS.*AK

CONSUMER NOTICED REAR BRAKE LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING, DEALER REPLACED MODULE. PLEASE ADD FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

THIS PROBLEM FIRST OCCURRED AT ABOUT 4600 MILES. I TOOK THE TIRE TO HAVE IT REPAIRED AT THE TIRE SHOP I USE. THEY TOLD ME IT HAD SOME BELT SEPARATION. I THEN WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I HAD PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER TO TAKE IT TO GOODYEAR. I TOOK IT TO GOODYEAR AND THEY TOLD ME THAT SINCE MY SPARE TIRE WAS ALREADY ON THAT I SHOULD KEEP IT ON AND THAT THE TIRE ONLY NEEDED A FLAT REPAIR. IN SEPTEMBER 2001 I STARTED TO NOTICE A SLIGHT THUMPING NOISE COMING FROM MY VEHICLE I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP IN OCTOBER 2001 THEY REPLACED A FRONT WHEEL BEARING AND THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL BUT STILL THE THUMP. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A FLAT SPOT ON THE TIRE AND THAT I HAD TWO BAD TIRES AND NEEDED TO GO BACK TO GOODYEAR. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THE OTHER TIRE WAS BAD TOO, NOT WHAT GOODYEAR TOLD ME APPROX. 8 MONTHS EARLIER. I AM BEING TOLD THESE TIRE PROBLEMS ARE CAUSED BY MY DRIVING. I KNOW THIS IS NOT THE CASE, I HAD A BLAZER 3 YRS PRIOR TO THIS ONE WITH A DIFFERENT BRAND OF TIRES AND NOT ONCE DID I HAVE ANY PROBLEMS. *AK (TIRESIZE: P235/70R15)

WHEN THE CAR IN GEAR ON A HILL, IT WILL ROLL DOWN THE HILL AND INCREASE IN SPEED. THE CAR ROLLS SO FAST THAT YOU CANNOT SAFELY MAKE THE TRANSITION FROM BRAKE TO ACCELERATOR WITHOUT ROLLING SEVERELY, THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THIS FALLS WITHIN SPECS, THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE SERVICE LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED. *YH

WHILE TRAVELING AT ANY SPEED VEHICLE WOULD STALL WITHOUT ANY INDICATION. DEALER HAS BEEN CONTACTED. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

WHILE DRIVING AND APPLYING THE BRAKES ABRUPTLY THE WHEELS LOCKED UP BRIEFLY AND VEHICLE BEGAN TO FISH TAIL, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND TAKEN FOR A TEST DRIVE, WHILE THE SERVICE MANAGER WAS DRIVING THE PROBLEM REOCCURED WHILE BRAKING, UPON INSPECTION THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD THAT THE BRAKES WERE WORKING PROPERLY.

PERIODICALLY THE VEHICLE WOULD SHIFT TO RIGHT. DEALER WAS UNABLE TO FIND DEFECT. THEN, VEHICLE BEGAN TO MAKE LOUD NOISES. WHILE CONSUMER WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY VEHICLE SHIFTED VERY HARD TO RIGHT. CONSUMER LOST CONTROL OF VEHICLE, AND CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE ON RIGHT. VEHICLE THEN FLIPPED OVER. GMC AND INSURANCE CO. CURRENTLY HAVE INCIDENT UNDER INVESTIGATION.*AK

WHILE APPLYING BRAKES TO STOP VEHICLE IT COMMENCED TO ACCELERATE AND RAN INTO ENTRANCE DOOR OF A HOTEL. NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED.*AK
