REVERSE GEAR DROPPED OUT OF DRIVETRAIN. FUEL PUMP FAILED WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START PARKED VEHICLE. *AK

THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD NUMEROUS BRAKE JOBS DONE AT FENTON MOTORS. WHEN USING THE BRAKES THE VEHICLE WILL PULL TO THE RIGHT.WE HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE IN OVER SEVEN TIMES TO FIX THE BRAKES. THE BRAKES WILL WORK FOR AWHILE AND THEN THE SAME PROBLEMS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. FENTONS HAVE NOT BEEN VERY HELPFUL WITH THIS PROBLEM AND THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE LEMONED. I WOULD HATE FOR SOME NEW OWNER TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND POSSIBLE TO KILL SOMEONE OR BE KILLED BECAUSE OF THE BRAKES.*AK

THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED VERY HARD INTO 2ND GEAR. WHEN I CAME TO A STOP AND WENT TO GO THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO SECOND GEAR. IT WOULD PRCEED INTO THIRD GEAR AFTER THE ENGINE WOULD REV UP TO A HIGHER RPM. I CONTACTED SEVERAL TRANSMISSION SHOPS AND A DEALERSHIP. THEY ALL SAID THAT I LOST THE 2ND/4TH GEAR INTEMEDIATE SHAFT WHICH ALSO INCLUDED THE REVERSE GEAR ALSO. THIS IS ON A 700R4 TRANSMISSON. THEY ALL SAID GM KNEW ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT WOULD NOT DO A RECALL ON THAT MODEL YEAR BECAUSE OF THE EXTENIVE USE OF THAT TRANMISSION IN ALL OF THEIR VEHICLES . THEY SAID THAT ALMOST ALL OF THE TRANSMISSION HAD THE FAULTY INTERMEDIATE SHAFT. THIS COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS PROBLEM FOR SOME VEHICLE OWNERS IF THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AT AN INOPPORTUNE TIME, ESPECIALLY IN AN EMERGENCY THAT THEY HAD TO REVERSE QUICKLY. I HAD THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED AT A LOCAL SHOP AT A VERY HIGH EXPENSE. I THOUGHT I WOULD SUBMIT THIS DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF VEHICLES THAT USED THIS TRANSMISSIONIN THAT YEAR AND FOR THE SAFETY OF THE OWNERS.*AK

WHEN WARMING VEHICLE DOORS WILL LOCK AUTOMATICALLY BY THEMSELVES. WHEN NISIDE OF VEHICLE DOORS WILL LOCK, AND ITS HARD TO GET THEM UNLOCKED. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER, AND DEALER REPAIRED LOCKS, BUT PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. PLEASE ADD VIN. *AK

FROM THE BEGINING THE VEHICLE HAS PULLED OR GRABBED TO THE RIGHT. MANY TIMES CONSUMER WAS DENIED SERVICE AND NOW THAT THE VEHICLE IS OVER 63,000 MILES, CONSUMER IS BEING TOLD THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE. *JG

WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED AND ACTIVATING THE BRAKE SYSTEM VEHICLE WILL PULL TO LEFT OR RIGHT UNEXPECTEDLY. DEALERSHIP HAS EXAMINED VEHICLE NUMEROUS TIMES, AND HAS BEEN UNABLE TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM BY REPLACING BRAKE ROTORS/ STEERING BOX, AND BRAKE CALIPERS. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION / DOCUMENTATION. *AK

ON SATURDAY, JANUARY 26, WHILE DRIVING, THE REAR AXLE SEPARATED FROM THE SUBURBAN. THE WHEEL WAS DRUG 306 BEFORE COMING TO A STOP. THERE WAS NO WARNING THAT FAILURE WAS IMMANENT. I PURCHASED THE NEW SUBURBAN FROM LES MARKS 8/30/99. THE SUBURBAN WAS SERVICED ONLY AT LES MARKS. ON 1/30/01 THE SUBURBAN WAS REPAIRED AT LES MARKS FOR A THUMPING NOISE IN THE REAR END. THE LES MARKS SERVICE DEPARTMENT REPLACED THE CASE, SIDE GEARS AND FLUSHED THE HOUSING.*AK
