  NO BRAKES/POWER STEERING DUE TO HYRDROBOOSTER FAILURE. *NM

• 12/26/2002· SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULICCrash

  I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND APPLIED THE BRAKES FOR A RED LIGHT. THE BRAKES FAILED TO RESPOND AND ACTUALLY SURGED CAUSING ME TO HIT THE PERSON IN FRONT OF ME AND RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT. THE BRAKES ARE LOCKING AND BURNING. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER AND THEY CANNOT FIND THE PROBLEM. THEY SAY IT NEEDS BRAKES BUT I HAD THE BRAKES CHECKED BY A MECHANIC AND I KNOW THAT IT IS NOT THE PROBLEM. HE TOLD ME TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER. I THOUGHT IT COULD BE THE CALIPERS OR SOMETHING IN THE BRAKING SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE IS MAKING PINGING NOISES AND PULLING TO THE RIGHT. IT WILL INDEED CAUSE ANOTHER ACCIDENT UNLESS IT IS RESOLVED.

  REAR DOOR HANDLE BECAME STIFF AND HARD TO OPEN WITHIN MONTHS OF PURCHASE. THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOT ABLE TO FIX IT PROPERLY. OVER THE FOLLOWING TWO YEARS THE PROBLEM BECAME PROGRESSIVELY WORSE AND NOW THE HANDLE IS CRACKING. WE CANNOT USE THE BACK DOOR ANYMORE. I HAVE SINCE DISCOVERED THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL VAN EXTENDING BACK TO 1993. (TSB#020864013)

• 12/16/2001· EXTERIOR LIGHTING

  I AM FILING A COMPLAINT AGAINST NHTSA FOR PERMITTING MANY AUTOMOBILE MANUFACTURERS TO UTILIZE SO-CALLED HIGH-BRIGHTNESS ARC-LAMPS ON PASSENGERS VEHICLES. THESE LAMPS CAUSE TEMPORARY BLINDNESS AND UNWARRANTED GLARE FOR OLDER DRIVERS SUCH AS MYSELF. THIS IS AN ESPECIAL PROBLEM WHEN THE ARC-LAMP EQUIPPED VEHICLE COMES OVER A HILL OR HITS A BUMP IN THE ROAD. THE POINT SOURCE NATURE OF THESE LAMPS RESULTS IN MUCH LOSS OF VISION IN DARK AREAS WITHIN THE FIELD OF VISION BECAUSE OF SCATTER DUE TO AGE HARDENING OF THE CRYSTALLINE LENSES OF THE EYE STRUCTURE. I AM AN INJURED PARTY ( I BELIEVE THERE ARE MANY THOUSANDS) SINCE THESE LAMPS DIMINISH THE ABILITY TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. I RECOMMEND THAT THEY BE OUTLAWED AS A SAFETY HAZARD. I AM A 63 YEAR OLD OPTICAL ENGINEER AND HOPE TO CONTINUE DRIVING FOR MANY MORE YEARS TO COME.*AK

• 11/30/2001· FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

• 10/19/2005· SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

  THE BRAKES ON MY YEAR 2000 GMC SAFARI PASSENGER VAN FAILED WHILE I WAS COMING TO A STOP AND AN INTERSECTION. I WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH. I NARROWLY AVOIDED A COLLISION BY TURNING ONTO A GRASSY MEDIAN. THE BRAKE PEDAL PULSATED SEVERAL TIMES AND THE PEDAL THEN DROPPED. I COULD NOT STOP THE VEHICLE USING THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE VAN IS WELL MAINTAINED AND HAS 36,000 MILES LOGGED. THE REPAIR SHOP DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A FAILED WHEEL SPEED SENSOR. THE HUB AND BEARING ASSEMBLY AND THE SPEED SENSOR WERE REPLACED. IT HAS NOW COME TO MY ATTENTION THAT A RECALL IS IN EFFECT FOR THIS PART - FRONT HUB/BEARING ASSEMBLY AND THE WHEEL SPEED SENSOR - ON 2002 MODEL YEAR CHERVROLET TAHOE VEHICLES (LETTER DATED OCTOBER 2005 FROM CHEVROLET). I STRONGLY RECOMMEND INVESTIGATING THESE QUESTIONABLE PARTS ON ALL GEMS VEHICLES. IT IS MY BELIEF THAT THE CURRENT TAHOE RECALL SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO ALL VEHICLES WITH THESE PARTS. *JB

• 10/11/2001· SUSPENSION

  I HAVE TAKEN VAN TO THE DEALER SEVEN TIMES FOR THE FRONT RIGHT SIDE LOWER CONTROL ARM ASSEMBLY, TWICE THE VAN WAS TOWED AT THE EXPENSE OF GMC ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE.
