WHEN THE BALL JOINT BROKE THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL DROP TO A 45 DREEG ANGLE AND THE AUTO WENT LEFT IN TO THE ON COMING LANE. I WAS LUCKY BECAUSE I WAS GOING 30 MILES A HOUR AND NO ONE WAS IN THE LANE. I HAD NO CONTROL FOR A FEW MINUTES AND IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPEN ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY I SURE A MAJOR ACCIDENT WOULD HAVE HAPPEN.*AK

BOTH FRONT HUB/WHEEL BEARINGS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT 70500. DEALER ADVISED THIS WAS NORMAL WEAR AND COULD HAPPEN AT ANY TIME.

THE TORQUE CONVERTER ON THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT LOCK OUT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND THE TRANSMISSION OVERHEATED.*AK

THE WINDSHIELD WIPER FAILED TO PARK IN THE DOWN POSITION. ON AN INTERMITTENT BASIS, THE WIPER WOULD ONLY OPERATE AT HIGH SPEED. THE WIPER WOULD STOP DURING OPERATION IWITHOUT WARNING WHEN IT WAS OPERATED AT LESS THAN HIGH SPEED. THIS OCCURRED TWICE UNDER RAINY DRIVING CONDITIONS. I PURCHASE A NEW DELAY MODULE AT THE DEALER FOR $88 AND IT HAS FIXED THE PROBLEM. I NOTED THAT CHEVROLET HAS PREVIOUSLY HAD THIS PROBLEM ON OTHER VEHICLES.

WHEN APPYLING BRAKES PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR, CAUSING EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. PROBLEM BECOMES MORE PPRONONCED WHEN VEHICLE IS DRIVEN ON WET PAVEMENT. DEALER CANNOT IDENTIFY CAUSE. PLEASE GIVE ANY FURTHER DETAILS.*AK
