I STARTED HEARING A SQEAKING NOISE COMING FROM THE LEFT FRONT OF TRUCK WHEN I TURNED, THERE WAS ALSO A SQEAKING NOISE FROM MY CLUTCH, MY REVERSE LIGHTS STAYED ON AND MY BRAKE LIGHTS WORKED ONLY HALF THE TIME AND MY BRAKE FLUID LEAKED. I BROUGHT THE TRUCK IN THE GET IT FIX BY CHAMPION CHEVROLET ON MON JULY 31 @ 8:30 ON THRUSDAY I PICKED IT UP THEY HAD ONLY PUT 2 MILES ON THE TRUCK I NOTICED THE SOUND WAS WORSE IN THE STEERING ONLY AFTER DRIVING 9 MILES.

I HAVE NOT PAID A PAYMENT YET BUT IS DUE IN 3 DAYS. PLEASE HELP.

VEHICLE WAS LEAKING COOLANT OUT OF THE RADIATOR. CURRENTLY, VEHICLE WAS PULLING TO LEFT AND RIGHT AND INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. CONSUMER HAS CONTACTED DEALERSHIP, AT THIS TIME NO REPLY FROM THE MECHANIC.*AK

TIRES CHOPPING VIBRATING/ FROM THE FIRST 1000 MILES WAS TOLD BY DEALER THIS WAS NORMAL. *AK (TIRESIZE: 245/75R16/)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 245/75R16/ )

TIRES CHOPPING VIBRATING/ FROM THE FIRST 1000 MILES WAS TOLD BY DEALER THIS WAS NORMAL. *AK (TIRESIZE: 245/75R16/)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 245/75R16/ )

REAR FRAME BROKEN FROM APPROXIMATELY 2 INCHES IN FRONT OF THE TOW HOOK ATTACHMENT FROM THE BOTTOM UP. DEALER NOTIFIED. FEEL FREE TO PROVIDE FURTHER DETAILS. *AK

TIRES ARE WEARING PREMATURELY IN CENTER. DEALER SAYS TRUCK IS NOT OUT OF ALIGNMENT, IT IS THE TIRES. FIRESTONE SAYS THEY ARE NOT PART OF THE RECALL. THEY LOOK LIKE THEY HAVE BEEN SPUN, BUT THIS IS NOT THE CASE. THEY WILL NOT LAST 20,000 MILES. THEY LOOK LIKE THE RIMS MAY BE TOO NARROW TO ME.( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P26575R16 )

ON JULY 6, 2000 ON A 5 MILE TRIP TO TOWN, I PICKED UP A SMALL SCREW IN THE LEFT REAR TIRE, ABOUT HALF WAY ACROSS THE TREAD BAND. I HEARD THE AIR LEAK AS I LEFT THE VEHICLE, AND I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT 2 BLOCKS TO A TIRE STORE TO BE REPAIRED BEFORE IT WENT FLAT. THE TIRE SHOP SAID IT COULDN'T BE REPAIRED, AS A SIDEWALL BULGE HAD FORMED FROM AN INTERNAL DELAMINATION IN THE TREAD AREA LEAKING INTO THE SIDE WALL AREA, AND THAT IT WAS UNSAFE TO USE. I RELACED THAT TIRE AT THAT TIME. ON SEPTEMBER 5, THE LEFT FRONT TIRE WAS FOUND FLAT IN MY GARAGE. FOR THE LAST MONTH OR SO, I HAVE NOTICED A CYCLIC "GROWLING" NOISE, TIED TO THE WHEEL ROTATIONAL SPEED OF THE VEHICLE, THAT WAS SIMILAR TO THE SOUND A FAILING WHEEL BEARING MAKES, BUT AN INSPECTION OF THE BEARINGS FOUND THEM IN GOOD CONDITION. AFTER REPLACING THIS SECOND TIRE, THE NOISE WENT AWAY. THE TIRE STORE ADVISED ME THAT A PARTIAL INTERNAL TREAD SEPERATION CAN MAKE THE KIND OF CYCLIC NOISE I WAS HEARING. I HAVE PUT 25,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK IN 6 MONTHS, WITH SEVERAL HIGH SPEED TRIPS ACROSS NEVADA AND UTAH, AND TWO TRIPS TO MEXICO VIA THE MOJAVE DESERT, PLUS NUMEROUS FREEWAY TRIPS THROUGH THE CALIFORNIA CENTRAL VALLEY THIS SUMMER. ALTHOUGH NEITHER TIRE FAILED AT SPEED OR SUFFERED A TREAD LOSS, THE FACT THAT 2 OF THEM HAVE HAD INTERNAL LAMINATION PROBLEMS CONCERNS ME GREATLY. I AM NO LONGER CONFIDENT OF THEIR SAFETY. PLEASE ADVISE ME IF OTHER CONSUMERS HAVE REPORTED PROBLEMS WITH THIS MODEL AND SIZE, AND IF NHTSA IS CONSIDERING EXPANING THE RECALL TO THIS MODEL, AS OTHER PARTIES HAVE ALREADY REQUESTED.( DOT NUMBER: W273 WMA TIRE SIZE: P265-75R16 )

WHILE DRIVING CONSUMER NOTICED FLAMES ON BACK WINDOW AND THE BED OF THE TRUCK. CONSUMER WAS ABLE TO GET THE KIDS OUT AND LEFT VEHICLE, AND THE WHOLE TRUCK BLEW UP. CONSUMER FELT IF THEY HAD OF BEEN 10 SECONDS LONGER THEY WOULD NOT BE HERE TODAY. *AK

TIRE WAS KEPT BY SIMPSONVILLE CHEVY DUE TO THEIR REIMBURSEMENT CLAIM, AGAINST MY REQUEST. SPOKE TO FIRESTONE DEALER TODAY WHO TOLD ME TIRES HAVE NO PROBLEMS, AND IF I WANT TIRES REPLACED I PAY, THEY ARE NOT RESONSIBLE. HAVE ALSO REC'D RUN AROUND FROM CHEVROLET, BROOK LINDHART OFFERED REASSURANCE BUT NOW I'M NOT SURE, WILLING TO HELP YOU IN ANYWAY POSSIBLE INCLUDING PROVIDING ACCOUNTS BY PHONE TAPE OR TESTIMONY. I AM TIRED OF BEING JERKED AROUND FOR SOMETHING THAT INVOLVES MY THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY. NO ONE TO DATE WILL GIVE ME ANY STRAIGHT ANSWERS. I DO ALSO HAVE SAVED COPIES OF THE EMAILS FROM CHEVROLET. *AK (DOT NUMBER: URBM053240 TIRESIZE: 245R7516)

TIRES ARE BELIEVED TO BE SEPARATED, SHAKE THE TRUCK BACK AND FORTH FROM L TO R AND HAVE KNOTS ON THEM. BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR PERIODICALLY AND WITHOUT WARNING. DEALER DOES NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO TO IT.( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 245-75-16 )

ABS BRAKES PULSATE AND LOCK UP. THEY HAVE BEEN FIXED FOR SAME PROBLEM TWICE. DEALER SAYS SITUATION CAN'T BE DUPLICATED.*AK

VEHICLE WAS IN 4- WHEEL LOW AND CONSUMER WAS IN BACK OF IT, VEHICLE MOVED ON ITS OWN, WENT DOWN HILL, AND HIT A TREE. DEALER FOUND VEHICLE HAD JUMPED FROM 4- WHEEL LOW INTO NEUTRAL DUE TO THE LINKAGE NOT ADJUSTED RIGHTLY. DAMAGE TO BVEHICLE WAS $ 6000. *AK CONSUMER WAS INJURED IN ACCIDENT. *SLC

BRAKE PROBLEMS

THIS VEHICLE PAUSES OR HESITATES AT ALL SPEEDS WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE, CAUSING A MILD JERKING MOTION.*AK

CRUISE CONTROL WAS ON, AND VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70MPH. IT WAS RAINING OUTSIDE, AND CONSUMER TAPPED BRAKES TO TAKE THE CRUISE CONTROL OFF, BUT CRUISE CONTROL DIDN'T RELEASE.

WHILE DRIVING ON A "SLICK" ROAD DUE TO AN EARLIER RAIN VEHICLE PROCEEDED TO GO THROUGH A GREEN LIGHT, AND SPUN AROUND AT LEAST TWICE. THEN, IT STOPPED AND WENT STRAIGHT THROUGH THE LIGHT. DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION. *AK

ENGINE HAS A DEEP KNOCKING NOISE IN THE LOWER PART AND A TAPPING NOISE IN THE UPPER PART AFTER SETTING SEVERAL HOURS OR OVERNIGHT. ALSO THE SAME THING HAPPENS WHEN HOT UPON START-UP. DEALER STATED THE ENGINE KNOCKING IN THEIR OPPINION DID NOT LAST OVER A MINUTE AND HALF, THEREFORE THE GM TECH ASST ADVISED NO REPAIRS ARE REQUIRED, THIS IS A NORMAL CONDITION. ALTHOUGH THE DEALER STATED GM IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. HOW CAN THIS BE NORMAL AND A PROBLEM? GM HAS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THIS 4.8 AND 5.3 ENGINES.*AK

THE SEATBELT LOCKED, WOULD NOT RETRACT OR EXTEND. PINNED DRIVER TO FRONT SEAT, COULD NOT LOOK OVER SHOULDER WHILE MERGING IN TRAFFIC.

DESPITE REPEATED ALIGNMENTS AND BALANCINGS, THE TIRES VIBRATE, THE VEHICLE PULLS, AND WET AND SNOW PERFORMANCE IS POOR COMPARED TO OTHER OE TIRES GM HAS USED IN THE PAST, I.E. GOODYEAR. I HAVE DISCUSSED THIS PROBLEM WITH NATIONAL TIRE AND BATTERY, AND THEY ARE OF THE OPINION THAT ALL WILDERNESS AT TIRES ARE DEFECTIVE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. I HAVE FOUND MANY OTHER OWNERS OF CHEVYS TRUCKS WILL SIMILAR EXPERIENCES, AND THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET THAT HAVE DOCUMENTED BLOWOUTS. IT IS TIME TO ACT AND GET WILDERNESS AT TIRES OFF THE ROAD WITH A COMPLETE RECALL. THANK YOU FOR INVESTIGATING THIS MATTER. JAMES CILECEK, MD.
