2002-03-21, Service Brakes, Hydraulic
BOTH FRONT BRAKE DISCS FAILED OVER THE PERIOD OF TWO YEARS. THE DISKS SEPARATED FROM THE HUB MOUNT CAUSING THE FRONT BRAKE ON ONE SIDE TO BECOME INNOPERABLE. LARGE STEERING INPUTS WERE REQUIRED TO KEEP THE VEHICLE FROM LEAVING THE ROAD. ON INSPECTION IT WAS CLEAR THAT THE ROTORS HAD SAPARETED DUE TO RUST THROUGH. BOTH SEPARATIONS WERE LOW SPEED INCIDENTS BUT IN BOTH CASES THE BRAKES WERE INNEFECTIVE AND THE STEERING LOAD WAS SUBSTANTIAL.*AK

1999-01-04, Structure
THE UPPER WELD ON THE TOP HINGE OF THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR HINGE HAS CRACKED, RESULTING IN DOOR NOT LATCHING PROPERLY. THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR OPENS WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. MANY OTHER CHEVROLET AND GMC PICKUP TRUCK OWNERS HAVE VOICED THE SAME CONCERNS TO ME ON THIS SAFETY-RELATED ISSUE. THE DOOR IS TOO HEAVY FOR THIS TYPE OF HINGE AND THEY ALL CRACK AT THE WELD JOINT WHERE THE HINGE IS WELDED TO THE DOOR. THIS RESULTS IN THE DOOR NOT BEING ABLE TO LATCH PROPERLY. *AK
