THE PAINT ON MY HOOD AND OTHER PLACES ON THE VAN IS PEELING OFF. SINCE THIS HAS OCCURRED I HAVE NOTICED THAT ALL THE OLDER CHEVY VANS HAVE PEELED OFF PAINT ALSO. I THINK THAT THIS IS THE AUTO MAKERS FAULT.

I HAVE A 2004 BLAZER WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THE REPAIR IS $700 AND GM REFUSES TO RECALL THE VEHICLES FOR A PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE 2002 AND OF COURSE DRIVING WITHOUT A SPEEDOMETER CREATES A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS I HAVE FOUND MYSELF APPLYING BOTH THE BRAKES AND GAS AT THE SAME TIME. I FEEL THE PROBLEMS IS THE CLOSE PROXIMITY OF THE TWO PEDALS AND THAT THEY ARE VERY CLOSE TO THE SAME HEIGHT. I HAVE BECOME VERY AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM, BUT FIND THAT UNLESS I AM EXTREMELY ALERT, IT STILL HAPPENS. I FEAR THAT AT SOME POINT, I WILL FIND MYSE
