CONSUMER WAS INJURED IN A ROLLOVER ACCIDENT (ATTORNEY FOR CLIENT), POSSIBLY RELATED TO STRUCTURE STABILITY NLM

THE PILLAR ATTACHED TO THE DOOR HINGE IS DISINTEGRATING AND THE DOOR HAS COME APART FROM THE SHEET METAL ON THE UPPER PORTION OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE AROUND THE HINGE AREA, THE PILLAR HAD A HOLE THROUGH IT CAUSING THE DOOR TO COME APART FROM THE SHEET METAL SUPPORTING THE DOOR HINGE ON THE UPPER PORTION OF THE DRIVERS SEAT.

VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A ROLLOVER IN WHICH THE SEATS FAILED, CONSUMER WAS INJURED IN ACCIDENT. (ATTORNEY FOR CLIENT) *SLC

TORQUE CONVERTER SOLENOID AND FLUID PRESSURE SWITCH FAILED ABOUT EVERY 15000 MILES. DEALER HAS REPALCED THE PARTS CONTINUALLY. *AK

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

WHILE DRIVING THE REAR WHEELS CAME OFF OF THE VEHICLE,CAUSING THE CONSUMER HAVE AN ACCIDENT MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED. *AK

ON JUNE 1, 1999 I NOTICED THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR BOLTS ON THE TOP HINGE BEGINNING TO RUST THROUGH THE BODY OF THE CAR. IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS, THROUGH NORMAL USE OF THE DOOR, THE TOP HINGE COMPLETELY SEPARATED FROM THE BODY OF THE CAR. THIS RESULTED IN THE DOOR BEING SUPPORTED SOLELY BY THE LOWER HINGE, MAKING IT NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO USE. I CONTACTED 2 DIFFERENT CHEVROLET DEALERS AS WELL AS CHEVROLET'S 800 NUMBER FOR SPECIAL CONCERNS. ALL ATTEMPTS TO REPORT THE PROBLEM ENDED WITH NEGATIVE RESULTS. IT IS MY BELIEF THAT THIS IS A DESIGN DEFECT AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. I FINALLY HAD THE VEHICLE REPAIRED BY AN INDEPENDENT BODY SHOP. *AK

DOOR HINGE BOLTS RUSTED STRAIGHT THROUGH THE FRAME OF THE CAR. HINGE STILL INTACT, BUT THE DOOR LOWERS 6 INCHES WHEN IT'S OPENED. CHEVROLET RELUCTANT TO REPAIR PROBLEM. *AK
