What owners report
WHILE TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY ANOTHER VEHICLE MADE A SUDDEN STOP IN FRONT OF CONSUMER'S VEHICLE. SHE T-BONED HIM ON DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR, AND DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG DIDN' T DEPLOY. DEALERSHIP WAS AWARE OF PROBLEM.*AK
TRUCK OVER-STEERS TO THE LEFT, ESPECIALLY ON A LEFT HAND CURVE. THE STEERING WHEEL WILL MOMENTARLY PULL HARD TO THE LEFT - THEN RETURN TO CENTER. DURING THIS TIME THE VEHICLE WILL UNEXPECTEDLY VEER LEFT, ESPECIALLY IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A FIRM GRIP ON THE WHEEL AND COUNTER ACT THE HARD PULL. A LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER INDICTAED THIS WAS A COMMON OCCURANCE ON THESE VEHICLES AND THAT REPLACING A SENSOR IN THE POWER STEERING UNIT WOULD FIX IT. HOWEVER, THIS REPAIR IS NOT COVERED, SINCE THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND CHEVROLET HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL. I CHECKED NHTSA'S WEB SITE AND FOUND NUMERIOUS COMPLAINTS THAT ARE VERY SIMILAR TO MINE. IT APPEARS TO ME THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE - CHEVROLET H
WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED INTERMITTENTLY. CONSUMER WILL HAVE TO MOVE WINDSHIELD WIPERS AROUND SO THAT THEY CAN RESTART. BUT, THEY WILL FAIL AGAIN.THIS CAUSES POOR VISIBILITY.*AK
PULLED INTO GARAGE AND THERE WAS A A STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE. DISCOVERED A GASOLINE PUDDLE WHERE THE FUEL LINES GO INTO THE THROTTLE BODY. ACCORDING TO THE SERVICING DEALER, THIS LEAK, WH EN BAD ENOUGH FORCES GASOLINE INTO THE MAIN WIRE HARNESS . THIS LEAK , AS I UNDERSTAND IT, RESULTED FROM THE FAILURE OF "O" RINGS WHERE THE FUEL LINE GOES INTO THE THROTTLE BODY. I THINK THE "O" RING FAILURE MIGHT RESULT FROM DEFECTIVE "O" RINGS. I DON"T KNOW THAT FOR POSITIVE. I CAN NOPT HELP BUT THINK THIS FAILURE IS A SIGNIGICANT SAFETY HAZARD. I AM AWARE OF TWO MORE SIMILAR FAILURES IN THIS AREA. IN ADDITION TO THE SAFETY HAZARD THE C OST FOR REPAIR OF THIS FAILURE WAS $2,268.25. THANK YOU FOR
VEHICLE EXPERIENCING HARD PULLING TO THE LEFT, CONSUMER HAS REPLACED TIRES, STRUTS, SHOCK, BRAKES BUT PULLING STILL EXPERIENCED. NLM
