MY TRUCK HAS AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION AND, SINCE I PURCHASING IT NEW IN JULY, 2001, I RARELY USE THE PARKING BRAKE. A FEW MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE, WHEN PARKING ON A HILL, I FIRST NOTICED THAT THE PARKING BRAKE DID NOT WORK HOWEVER, AS I RARELY USED IT I CONTINUED TO RELY ON THE TRANSMISSION'S "PARK" SETTING TO KEEP THE TRUCK IN PLACE UNTIL LONG AFTER THE GUARANTEE HAD EXPIRED. WHEN I THEN LOOKED INTO THE POSSIBILITY OF WHETHER THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE I FOUND THAT THERE HAD BUT IT WAS ONLY FOR CARS WITH A STANDARD TRANSMISSION SO I DECIDED TO CONTINUE LIVING WITH THIS FAULT. NOW, AS I LEARN MORE AND MORE ABOUT THE TENDENCY OF THE BRAKE LINES ON THIS VEHICLE TO RUST THROUGH AND FAIL IT OCCURS TO ME THAT THIS IS, IN FACT, AN EMERGENCY BRAKE AS WELL AS A PARKING BRAKE. MY TRUCK NOW HAS 59,923 MILES. I BELIEVE IT, AND OTHERS LIKE IT, SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED YEARS AGO ALONG WITH THOSE STANDARD TRANSMISSION MODELS. I WOULD HOPE THAT THIS COMPLAINT WOULD HELP FURTHER THAT ACTION. *TR

I WAS DRIVING EAST ON F.M. 356 AT ABOUT NOON. I WAS TRAVELLING ABOUT 50 MPH. A CAR TURNED IN FRONT OF ME AND I ATTEMPTED TO PASS THE CAR. I WAS UNABLE TO DUE TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC, SO I QUICKLY RETURNED TO MY LANE. ONE OF MY TIRES WENT OFF ONTO THE UNPAVED SHOULDER AND I WENT DOWN A SMALL EMBANKMENT. IT WAS MUDDY SO I COULD NOT STOP. I HIT A LARGE PINE TREE HEAD ON AND STOPPED. BOTH OF US WERE WEARING OUR SEATBELTS. MY AIRBAG FAILED TO DEPLOY CAUSING MY HEAD AND TORSO TO STRIKE THE STEERING WHEEL. I SUFFERED 6TH NERVE PAULSEY AND AN ANUERISM DEVELOPED ON MY AORTA. THE AORTA HAD TO BE SURGICALLY REPAIRED. MY GRANDDAUGHTER'S AIRBAG HAD BEEN TURNED OFF DUE TO HER SMALL SIZE. SHE SUFFERED A BROKEN LEG AND A SLIGHT CONCUSSION. THE TRUCK WAS TOTALLED. *AK

LAWYER REPRESENTING CONSUMER WHO WAS INJURED WHEN THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG FAILED TO DEPLOY. *LA (LAWYER CLYDE JACKSON ON BEHALF OF CLIENT)* JB

WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKE THE POWER ASSIST STEERING FADES TO NOTHING AFTER 1/8 TURN MAKING IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO MANUVER. THE POWER STEERING PUMP AND GEARBOX WERE REPLACED, THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST . I HAVE HAD THE STEERING WHEEL JERK GOING AROUND CURVES AND HAVING TO APPLY THE BRAKE ALSO. I BELIEVE THIS IS A DEFINITE SAFETY HAZZARD. GM STATES THAT THIS IS JUST CARACTERISTIC OF THIS TRUCK, I DO NOT FEEL IT MAKES IT OK. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE RE-ENGINEERED SO THAT THE POWER ASIST IS AT CONSTANT PRESSURE. I AM TOLD BY MANUFACTURER THAT NO ONE HAS BEEN HURT SO THERE IS NO PROBLEM. IT SHOULD NOT COME TO THAT. IF I, AS A BUSINESS OWNER PRODUCE A PRODUCT THAT HAS A DEFINITE PROBLEM I CANNOT TELL MY CUSTOMERS THAT IS JUST CHARACTERISTIC OF MY WORK, TOO BAD, SO WHY CAN GM DO THAT? I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR ASSISTANCE IN REVIEWING THIS SITUATION. THANK YOU, [XXX]. *AK PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

ORIGINAL TIRES WERE WEARING EXCESSIVELY ON VEHICLE. WHILE TURNING CORNERS VEHICLE SHOOK DRASTICALLY. VEHICLE WAS CHECKED BY DEALER, WHO ADVISED CONSUMER THAT ORIGINAL TIRES ON VEHICLE WERE OF INSUFFICIENT GRADE TO SUPPORT VEHICLE'S WEIGHT. CONSUMER CONTACTED MANUFACTURER WITH NO RESOLUTION. 2001, CHEVROLET EXPRESS VAN, C3500 WITH 13000 MILES . CONSUMER ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE TIRES.*AK

PURCHASED A 2001 CHEVROLET 3500 DUAL WHEEL DIESEL SILVERADO PICK-UP NEW IN 2001. THE BRAKE PEDAL HAS ALWAYS FELT LIKE A BUCKET OF MUSH. IN THE FIRST SIX MONTHS THE DEALER REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER AND ALL OF THE BRAKE ROTORS WHICH WERE RUSTED. THE PROBLEM WAS STILL THERE. IT IS NOW JULY 2005 AND I AM TAKING MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TOMORROW TO REPAIR A BRAKEL FLUID LEAK ON THE LEFT REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THIS VEHICLE IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE BECAUSE YOU CAN NOT STOP LIKE A NORMAL VEHICLE AT ANY SPEED. I ALSO OWN A 2000 CHEVROLET 25OO AND THE BRAKES FUNCTION NORMALLY. TODAY I CHECKED ON BRAKE PROBEMS WITH CHEVROLET PICKUPS ON THE INTERNET AND FIND THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH PROBLEMS. IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE DEATH AND LAWSUITS BEGIN. I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO BE MORE ACTIVE ON THIS PROBLEM BEFORE THIS BEGINS.

WHEN I HAVE MY PLOW ON THE TRUCK IT WILL OVER HEAT AND FOG UP ALLTHE WINDOWS. THE WINDOWS FOG UP SO FAST AND SO MUCH THAT IT IS HARD TO PULL OFF THE ROAD BECAUSE YOU CANT SEE. I TOLD THE DEALER ABOUT THIS LAST YEAR AND THEY SAID THAT IF THEY DID NOT SEE IT HAPPEN THEY COULD NOT FIX IT. AS SOON AS I PUT MY PLOW ON THIS YEAR IT DID IT AGAIN . NOW THE DEALER SAID THAT THEY HAVE HAD OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT IT AND THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT . THEY SAID IT IS A DESIGN FLAW WITH MY TRUCK. THEY ARE TRYING TO FIND A WAY TO FIX IT BUT IN THE MEAN TIME I AM DRIVING MY FAMILY AROUND IN AN UNSAFE VEHICLE. DT

COLD START KNOCK OR PISTON SLAP. MY 2001 SILVERADO 6.0L SOUNDS LIKE A DIESEL WHEN I START IT UP. PROBLEM BEGAN AT 11,000 MILES. NOW HAVE 18,400 MILES. - PISTON SLAP IS LOUDER AND MORE PERSISTENT. GM HAS ACKNOWLEDGED PROBLEM, ISSUED SERVICE REQUEST #, BUT NO SERVICE AND NO RESPONSE. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN GM CUSTOMER SERVICE AND PRODUCT.

PARKING BRAKE HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS BUT NOT FOR AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS OF THE SAME YEAR AND MAKE. WHILE PARKING ON A STEEP HILL I FOUND OUT MY PARKING BRAKE WAS NOT HOLDING. I BOUGHT NEW BRAKES AT DEALERSHIP AND THEY INFORMED ME MANUAL TRANSMISSION PICKUPS HAVE BEEN RECALLED. AFTER READING RECALL NOTICE I DISCOVERED IT WAS THE SAME PROBLEM AS MY AUTOMATIC PICKUP HAD. WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN RECALLED ON AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION PICKUPS. 2001 CHEVY HALF TON 2 WHEEL DRIVE PICKUP. *JB

I WAS TRAVELING WESTBOUND ON STATE ROUTE 262 AT APPROXIMATELY 32 MILES PER HOUR WHEN I ENCOUNTERED A STOPPED VEHICLE. I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN AN INITIAL BRAKE AND THEN LURCHED FORWARD WITHOUT MY RELEASING MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL. THIS CAUSED ME TO STRIKE THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY NOR DID THE SEAT BELT PROPERLY RESTRAIN ME. THIS CAUSED ME TO STRIKE THE STEERING WHEEL WITH MY CHEST AND STOMACH. THE HAMILTON COUNTY POLICE OFFICE DOCUMENTED THAT THE AIR BAGS AND THE SEATBELT DID NOT PROPERLY FUNCTION. I WAS SITED FOR FOLLOWING TO CLOSE EVEN THOUGH I FEEL THAT THE BRAKES FAILED. I PLAN TO APPEAL THE TICKET DUE TO THIS REASONING IN COURT ON NOVEMBER 29, 2001. THE SAFEY OF OTHER OWNERS/DRIVERS OF THESE VEHICLES IS WHAT PROMPTED ME TO WRITE.
