SEAT TRACK AND ANCHORS BROKE WHICH CAUSED THE SEAT TO COLLAPSE. SEAT HAD TO BE REWELDED. DEALER HAS NOT SEEN VEHICLE. *AK

ONGOING PROBLEM WITH REAR WHEELS WOULD INTERMITTENTLY LOCK UP WHILE APPLYING BRAKES AT 30 MPH OR LESS. DEALER NOTIFIED. *AK

WHEN APPLYING THE ABS BRAKES IN NORMAL CONDITIONS THE SYSTEM DOES NOT RESPOND, CAUSING EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE, AND RESULTING IN THREE COLLISIONS. PLEASE GIVE ANY FURTHER DETAILS. *AK

WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED THE ANTI-LOCK SYSTEM GRABS, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SLIDE AND THEN THEY RELEASE AND GRAB. DEALER HAS BEEN CONTACTED. *AK

AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON IN INSTRUMENT PANEL INDICATING FAILURE. THE WIRING HARNESS ON THE TILT WHEEL BROKE (FATUGUED). DEALER SAID THAT I USED THE TILT MECHANISM TOO MUCH AND THAT IT WAS NOT INTENDED TO BE USED EACH ENTRY/EXIT. I COMMENTED THAT THIS ASSEMBLY SHOULD HAVE BEEN DESIGNED TO PREVENT THIS TYPE OF FAILURE SINCE THE AIR BAG OPERATION WAS IMPAIRED BY IT. DEALER DISAGREED, REFUSED TO CONTACT CHEVROLET IN MY BEHALF AND CHARGED ME OVER $240.00 TO REPLACE THE PART. THIS IS A VERY CRITICAL ASSEMBLY AND NEVER SHOULD HAVE FAILED FROM USE IN THIS MANNER. I HAVE THE FAILED COMPONENT AND CAN SEND IT TO YOU FOR EXAMINATION. *AK

ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM LIGHT CAME ON. PROBLEM DIAGNOSED AS FAILURE OF KELSEY HAYES RWAL. THE DEALER QUOTED $548 FOR THE PART AND $87 LABOR. I DISCUSSED WITH THE DEALER AND DID FURTHER INVESTIGATION. THERE IS A HISTORY OF PROBLEMS WITH 1990-1995 GMC AND CHEVY 2-WHEEL SUBURBANS HAVING FAILURE OF THE ABS. I CONTACTED THE ZONE REP, WHO WAS NICE, BUT SAID NO RECALL CAMPAIGN TO-DATE MEANS NO REPLACEMENT BY GM. I AM DRIVING THE VEHICLE AS-IS (WITHOUT ANTI-LOCK) AND CONTINUING TO PURSURE HOW TO HAVE GM REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE KELSEY UNITS. *AK

DRIVER'S SEAT BRACKET BROKE DUE TO INSUFFICENT MATERIAL AND THIN METAL, CAUSING SEAT TO FALL BACKWARDS INTO BACK SEAT, AND RESULTING IN SHOULDER INJURIES. VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT.

I HAVE REPLACED THE BRAKE PADS, HOSES AND MASTER CYLINDER. THE ROTORS HAVE BEEN CHECKED AND ROTATED. PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS AT MY EXPENSE! NONE OF THIS WORK WAS DONE UNDER WARRANTY. CONTINUOUS PROBLEMS WITH AIR CONDITIONER. DEALER COULD NOT FIND FAULT. I HAVE SPENT SEVERAL $'S FIXING THIS ISSUE.

THE BRACE HOLDING THE DRIVER SEAT TO THE FLOOR BROKE OFF BECAUSE OF FLAW IN MANUFACTURING. YH
