I am writing in regards to my 1996 mercury mystique in which just had a fire. on monday, december 10th, 2001, as i was driving, smoke startecome out of both exits where my rear seat shoulder harness seatbelts release. i immediately pulled over and run to a business for help. a gentleman sprayed sprayed the fire extingisher into the opening on the side walls where smoke was coming out. the fire department arrived also. the fireman checked my fuse bux and found a fuse melted into the box. my extended warranty - western general - says the part between the seat and panel was bent making wires touch and start a fire. the dealer won't admit anything. they gutted the whole inside, bending the part western general mentioned, in order to get to the wiring underneath. i am waiting for a call from ford motor company.  view

Headlight wiring harness melted after original bulbs were replaced with correct aftermarket component. dealer commented that every eclipse that has replacement headlight bulbs has burned the wiring harness. when this component fails, it leaves the driver with neither a high or low beam light. should both burn- out in rapid succession a serious accident would likely occur. also with wiring melting under the hood the chance of fire or electrical shorting of other components seems very likely. in doing research on this problem, i found a report that states that mitsubishi has changed the wiring harness to a heavier gauge. my assumtion is that it is to prevent this hazard in cars currently being produced. with mitsubishi's track record regarding recalls, i feel this defect should be investigated. please feel free to contact me at any time in regard to this matter.  view

The rear leaf springs broke under normal operation conditions ! i called the toyota dealer and said they are aware of the problem and have a "fix" for $600.00! i called 10 junkyards looking for used springs and they all just laughed and said" they sell them as fast as they get them" because it is such a common failure. i now ask everyone i see driving one of these trucks if thiers has broke and about 80% of them say yes! if the truck had been loaded or if i had been going fast when it broke it would have been a heck of a wreack! how could so many trucks be doing this and toyota not be made to make it good? thanks, greg.  view

My primary concern is the engine trouble with my 1999 accord. when i need to accelerate the car "misfires" according to the gresham honda dealership. this is where the car is being serviced. contact name and number would be mark cawthorn @ 503-676-7070. i am very hesitant to pull out in traffic at any speed because i never know when my car will misfire. at times the acceleration sticks at both 2-3rpms. basically, there is no acceleration. the check engine light no longer comes on when the car hesitates. the first two times that the car was taken to the honda dealership the check light did come on. my car is currently on it's 5th stay with honda. they(honda and their technicians) seem to have no idea what the problem was. hopefully the problem will be resolved easily and most importantly, quickly. i'd hate to be the cause of an accident. equally as important, i have had a failure with my abs. while there was no accident, i barely stopped at the intersection while brakes locked up on pavement. i have had passengers in my vehicle on such occasions and each would be willing to give tesimonies to such failures as listed above. in fact, the honda technician has also experienced the "misfire" first hand in my accord. i may be a little difficult to reach with college and two jobs but please feel free to leave messages at either phone number. thank you for your time, amber weimerskirch.

Shortly after purchasing the quest, i noticed a vibration in the vehicle steering wheel and encountered a rough ride when the vehicle went over 30 miles an hour. i took the car to the dealer the first time and they balanced and rotated the tires. shortly after, i experienced the same problem and returned to the dealer. this time the dealer told me that the tires were out of "true" and that i needed to go to goodyear to have the tires replaced. goodyear replaced two of the tires. a few months later, i returned to goodyear because the problem returned. goodyear then replaced one additional tire. within a few months, i returned to goodyear again with the same problem and they agreed to change all four tires. within a few months i returned to goodyear with the same problem and they suggested that the vehicle weight may of been too much for the tires so he requested that i replace the performance tires on the vehicle with other tires. i agreed and goodyear again replaced all four tires. in december 2001, i once again returned to the goodyear because the problem was once again present. they agreed to replace the tires, but felt that the problem was with the suspension on the quest rather than a defect on the tire. the second problem i've encounter with the quest since about 15,000 miles is the accelerator pedal sticks. this is a more serious problem because on several occasions the problem almost caused an accident. it occurs when the vehicle is stopped at a light, and i then try to accelerate. the pedal is so stuck, that when it finally gives way the vehicle takes off quickly. this also happens if i take my foot off the accelerator to slow down, then if i try to accelerate again i can't. i took it in for service, but the dealer said it was an intermitten problem and could not replicate the difficulty. the problem is still intermitten, but i noticed that when i drove it in florida on vacation this past month, it occured regularly.  view

The engine starts to stall when you accelerate at higher speeds. every time taken to the dealer, he says the air filter is soaked w/water. he has no explaination. finally admitted that there are "several" cars throughout the country w/this problem. his last solution (from vw) was to remove the snow grill (which makes no sense & did not correct the problem). it is terrifying to try & pass a car on a 2 lane road or in the middle of a 5 lane expressway & have your car start to stall . the airbag default light has also come on twice. please help.  view

Horrible odor emitted thru ventilation system. don't know if associated but my family has been ill with alot of respiratory problems, walking pneumonia (2out of 4) in same week , and my 5yr old has been plagued by violent vomiting. i took yukon to martin gmc said odor was probably caused by either mold/fungus in the evaporator & coils. the smell is very strong and nauseating . there have been several technical service bulletins thru gmc on this problem. i am worried about my families health since i have chronic asthma and my children have allergies. the dealer is going to put a coating of chemicals on the evaporator coils that will (kill?) mold and funus, then they will install an electonic evaporator dryer. i hope this is going to rectify the situation and not be just a temporary fix because mold is very hard to erradicate if you do not get to the source of the problem. i am upset that a new car can have this problem and i've read on the internet that this is not an isolated case. do you know of any health risks due to this? the smell is awful and strong even with the a/c off. please let me know of any other possible remedies to this problem. you can email me @ writefelix@yahoo.com .  view

On 10/19/01 car died. dealer determined leak in upper manifold causing water to leak into engine. while within 3-mo warranty, the mileage was greater than 3,000 mi. they said it would be $1,200 to fix. my mechanic said it would be $700. he fixed it for $725. however, he said that he had spoken with other mechanics including people in the service dept at century who said that "gm knows they have a problem with this plastic part". on 12/7/01 the car quit. my mechanic indicated that there was shaving in the bottom of the engine and it had blown a rod. he spoke with several area mechanics who reported similar major engine damage following previous repairs of the leaks from the manifold. the engine had to be replaced at engine cost of $3,200 (thus total of close to $4,000). the mechanic says this is a design flaw in the plastic manifold and will likely happen again. he doesn't understand why there hasn't been a recall.  view

It has been brought to my attention by my mechanic,that this has been a problem reported in a seattle area newspaper with other gm vehicals in this class. i called lee johnsons and the 1-800 to see if there was any recalls were issued. no recalls at this time. the new paper said that this problem has caused injury accidents. the dust cap falls of and causes excessive were to the gear box. i feel this is a dangerous design flaw and should be corrected before more people are hurt. this is to important of a part to not have attention drawn to it. i feel a recall is nessary.  view

My car has been in the shop ten times! i cannot specify a part, most parts have been repaired. when i say ten times, it is in the shop for the 10th time now but needs 8 different repairs. (not ten total repairs) as far as safety, the tires (different brands) have to be replaced every season... 2 sets a year! the brakes have been replaced twice. they checked out okay last time it was in, but they constanty shudder and grind, and have completely gone out. they also squeal very loud at about 60 mph while driving. not sure if it is the brakes or tires. i just feel unsafe in my vehicle. it has been towed three times, leaving me stranded. my heater also quit working and i live in alaska. i don't know if these are common problems, but i have never owned a vehicle that i felt so unsafe in. i also got into a car accident in 200, in which i was hit head on by an explorer. i was driving about 25 mph and she was driving about 10 mph. it broke out my headlight, dented the hood up and put a hole in the bumper.... this much damage and the airbags never deployed! this was not called in to the police, i just let her go (it was her fault). i wish i had reported it.  view

My primary concern is the engine trouble with my 1999 accord. when i need to accelerate the car "misfires" according to the gresham honda dealership. this is where the car is being serviced. contact name and number would be mark cawthorn @ 503-676-7070. i am very hesitant to pull out in traffic at any speed because i never know when my car will misfire. at times the acceleration sticks at both 2-3rpms. basically, there is no acceleration. the check engine light no longer comes on when the car hesitates. the first two times that the car was taken to the honda dealership the check light did come on. my car is currently on it's 5th stay with honda. they(honda and their technicians) seem to have no idea what the problem was. hopefully the problem will be resolved easily and most importantly, quickly. i'd hate to be the cause of an accident. equally as important, i have had a failure with my abs. while there was no accident, i barely stopped at the intersection while brakes locked up on pavement. i have had passengers in my vehicle on such occasions and each would be willing to give tesimonies to such failures as listed above. in fact, the honda technician has also experienced the "misfire" first hand in my accord. i may be a little difficult to reach with college and two jobs but please feel free to leave messages at either phone number. thank you for your time, amber weimerskirch.

Automatic climate control air temperature is regulated based on ambient temperature (i.e.: if exterior temperature is 75 degrees and climate control is set to 70 - the air conditioner will engage.) the exterior temperature gauge on the automatic climate control regularly displays an inaccurate exterior temperature of less than 60 degrees (even on 100+ temperature days.) if the system reports an exterior temperature of less than 60 degrees, the air conditioner cannot be manually engaged - this malfunction renders the air conditioner useless. furthermore, if the exterior reading is less than 60 degrees, the automatic climate control will increase the temperature of the circulating through the ventilation system (if the system thinks the temp. is 55 degrees, even if it is actually 95 degrees - the system blows heated air.) i have had the car in to the dealer on multiple occasions - without resolution. the problem can never be duplicated. no fault of the dealer - it is a complete random (although frequent) occurrence.  view

Within a month after our purchase, i took our truck to tony chevrolet's service dept. for an engine knock. i was told this noise is normal to "all" 2000 chevrolet and gmc trucks with the 5.3 liter engine. i asked how an engine knock can be normal to a brand new engine and was told that the noise was called "piston slap" which general motors is aware of this "defect" and was working on a fix. i then explained to the service writer, since i've worked as a mechanic, that i've never heard a new or rebuilt engine knock unless there was a mistake made or a faulty part installed. i've heard high mileage engines with a knock problem, and i've heard high mileage engines with "piston slap". after research i found out gm was going to replace the faulty pistons with gm's new design pistons and that would take care of the "pistion slap" issue. after talking with another dealership about this issue, i was told that gm has replaced a few engines with the new designed pistions which now still have the "piston slap". i was shown bulletin # 01-06-01-028 which stated models:1999-2002 chevrolet/gmc pickup & utility models,2002 cadillac escalade (2wd) with 4.8l,5.3l or 6.0l engines may exhibit an engine knock noise that begins in the first 12,000-15,000 miles of use. the knock noise is most often noticed during start-up and typically disappears within the first 5-30 seconds (may last longer in extreme cold temperatures) since we live in alaska this is very true. the noise is usually more noticeable on the intial start-up when the tempture is below 50 degrees and may be more pronounced on the first start following a long trip. the noise "may" be caused by an interaction between carbon that has formed on the piston, the piston motion and the cylinder wall. at this time, attempts to repair this condition by replacing the engine assembly or pistons is not recommended. our truck's performance has gone down due to the knock sensor detecting this particular problem.  view

We are the second owners of this vehicle. based on all service records the transmission in this vehicle has been repaired twice, and is now broken again. each time there is a problem it seems to be almost exactly two years later. in the 2nd instance it was 1 yr and 3 months after repair that the transmission required major work again. it appears from the testimony of many other owners of the same vehicle that this problem is widespread and should be considered a flaw in the design of the transmission. we are overall quite happy with this vehicle however this type or re-occuring problem is absolutely unacceptable, especially considering the time frame. we intend to seek assistance and/or compensation with regards to this re-occuring problem. any additional information on this subject would be greatly appreciated.  view

Yesterday i had a 4 wheel computerized alignment performed. it was difficult and sometimes almost impossible to tell the car was out of alignment because it would drift to the left or right. that night when pulling out away from friends house, having wheel turned sharp and waiting at idle something in the front end was vibrating and it would change when wheel was moved. later that night steering wheel tightened up as it had before all of a sudden when driving. wheel was really difficult to turn all of a sudden, steering became much more sensitive all of a sudden where it previously was not. when braking or accelerating wheel would feel even move difficult to turn and almost stuck. i tried to get a friend to drive the car. she started to drive it in a parking lot, i asked her to manuver with the car and after driving for a minute she didn't want to because she felt the car was not handling well and didn't feel right. i manuvered in the parking lot and at 15 mile low speed manuvering and sharp turns tires were squealing as if performing high speed manuvers. at one time i was able to send the vehicle into a controlled skid although it has abs. i could not get car to skid again and abs seemed to be working fine. i noticed a clunk felt in the steering assembly when braking hard at lower speeds. the steering attitude and characteristics should not intermittently change. the car still wonders on the freeway and wheel needs constant attention. this car does not feel safe to drive and i don't know why i'm continually being told it's normal. i have driven 3 dodge intrepids and know how they should drive. i even had someone who has driven 3 second generation rental car intrepids and he didn't like the way my intrepid drove at times either. the steering assembly seems to be deteriorating quickly over time and sometimes fails to perform as it should. the vehicle also came out of the factory out of alignment and with two tires that needed to be balanced and since corrected. nlm  view

Transmission, since day one, has always made a loud metal-to-metal clunking/popping noise at low speeds. dealer advised there was no problem, was normal. then at around 28k miles, it started shuddering and slipping on downshifts between 35-45mph. i then took it to right honda in scottsdale, and they then flushed the linear solenoid, and when i got it back, it was still was doing it. they then replaced the entire transmission, and it came back with a thumping noise when in park or n. they then replaced it a second time. it is shifting better, but the car has not as much pickup and is still making the metal to metal noise, after over $6,000 in warranty repairs! it also lurches through gears sometimes, and is not as smooth as it was when i bought it. the service manager told me that this is a common problem, and that they have had to replace quite a few transmissions. i first spoke with angie williams at honda corporate, and she would not help nor let me speak to her supervisor, rick thomas. i finally got through to rick thomas, and they said they would not buy the car back, nor was i going to get any help from him. i then asked to speak to his supervisor, and he would not let me speak with ron garner. the receptionist then lied to me and said that rick garner doesnt have voicemail, i caught her in the lie. under magnuson-moss warranty act, they have had sufficient times to try and repair this vehicle! i have found that i am not alone in dealing with this problem, as almost everyone with a v6 automatic accord seems to notice this problem with the transmission! the dealership i bought the vehicle from suggested i file a report with the bbb, since there was nothing he could do. that is ridiculous! i did not pay to lease a $28,000 car, and be given a cheap rental to drive around in for a month. how am i going to ever sell this car with a repair record like this? i really hope that you may be able to help. nlm  view

After purchasing the vehicle we wanted to put a different radio/cd player in it. when we went to do so, we discovered that if the factory installed radio was disconnected, the airbag deployment sensors no longer functioned. this is not mentioned anywhere in chevrolet literature. this, i believe, is a safety issue. i learned after two days of research that if the factory radio is even removed for repairs, it must be replaced by another factory radio or the airbag deployment senors again will not work. chevrolet should make this fact clear in its sales literature. this affects 2000 and newer cavaliers. i do not know if this is the same with other gm model cars.  view

The ball joint to driver's side broke while i was driving down road at 50mph, the car veered to left and skidded about 500 feet before i could get vehicle to stop. when i did the driver tire was perpendicular to the car and the base of motor was resting on the ground. after mitsibushi repaired the ball joint and half shaft that also broke. i transported it to ocala florida from odessa texas on a car carrier since that point i have learned all 4 motor mounts were broken. i contacted mitsibushi because it is my understanding that for all 4 to break substantial trauma would have had to occur, the car has not other trauma except the wreck in odessa when the ball joint snapped. mitsibushi told me to take it to a local dealer here, i did and now they are declining to fix motor mounts that i contend were broken during that wreck. i have a complete file of events and receipts and names i would like to send via mail to your association if possible please provide me with a mailing address so i can fully explain the situation and provide the proof i have relating to the entire situation. i have been so financially and emotionally strained on this incident that i have been having problems with this car since 8 days after i purchased it used, but purchased to have reliable transportation and yet i have had more uncertainty with this car than anything all related t a ball joint recall. thanks sincerely patricia reeves.  view

Our truck has been to tony chevrolet for the brake system problems 3 times. when braking anytime on a bumpy road the abs system kicks in resulting in loss of stopping power and causing a near accident. during alaska winter months, the abs system is over sensitive and does not allow the truck stop in a timely fashion. there are times when the abs kicks in, the brake pedal gets hard and pushs back against your foot. tony chevrolet states the braking system is acting normal. there favorite term is "unable to duplicate condition at this time" i went to another gm dealership with this problem and they also stated there was nothing wrong with the abs system. when service techs. hook up to the trucks computer and the computer system doesn't show any fault codes, that doesn't mean there isn't something wrong. twice this condition has just about caused an accident with another car. i wonder how many accidents have to occur before gm does something about these defects? please help before somebody gets hurt or killed. thank you.  view

My wife and daughter were in the vehicle. my wife was driving. suddenly, the accelerator stuck in an open position. close to home and uncertain what to do, my wife was able to get in our driveway at home. the new rear brakes installed a week before were ruined. i had mechanic replace them and a rear brake cylinder also. the stress apparently caused the cylinder to start leaking. my mechanic also investigated the throttle problem. a factory wiring harness strap had broken and flipped around into the throttle linkage. fortunately, no one was injured. we live in a rural area and traffic was not very heavy. my engine on the other hand is not so fortunate. it seems that it ran at too high an rpm for too long. it has developed a severe engine knock. gm does not seem very interested in hearing about my safety concerns and appeal for repair compensation.  view

Appears that vehicle manufacturer has opted to not install all rear seat bottom latches on the rear passenger seating. this is being reported by several vehicle owners of the 2002 chevy trailblazer/gmc envoy line. in the event of a collision, having only one latch on the larger split seat may cause the the seat to be jarred loose which in turn could potentially result in passenger injury. i would like to know how many other owners have reported this, and if there's plans by gm to correct this situation.  view

I think there is a problem with the brakes on my 1999 honda civic. under heavey braking the rear wheels lock up while the front does not. this has happened about 5 times since i bought the car new. when it happens the rear end of the car fishtails wildly and does cause the car to into an uncontrolable spin. i had mentioned this to the dealer who had said it is normal because of weight transfer to the front under heavy braking. ( the preportioning valve is there to balance the brake line pressure between the bakes so they are equalize pressure as needed?) this also happens on ice cover roads or slipery road under normal braking, the back wheels lock up before the front causing the backen to fishtail. i have not had a reportable accident because of it, but it could cause an accident if this continues.  view

On 02/18/2002, 04:20 am, my wife went to start the car to let it warm up before going to work. upon start up, there was an explosion and there was a fire instantly. i ran out and rolled the car out of the carport and into the back yard. the neighbor came running with a fire extingusher and put out the fire just before the fire department arrived. there was a recall (your number 96v116000). the upper intake manafold did fracture from one end to the other...gapping open about two and a half inches.. my car was repaired for this recall on 01/19/1998. i guess that this was not a fix for the problem. the gm investigater looked at the car and told me "that there was nothing that we had done to cause this problem". he would not say anymore. on 02/18/2002, the prrson for gm called and said that they would not accept any liability for the problem. if the recall was not a fix for the problem, there are (accourding to your figures),275,811 vehicles out there that this could still happen to. lord, help the person that is looking over the engine when it is being started. it will take their head off. thank you, jerry l. moore referenced in ea02-030  view

The ball joint to driver's side broke while i was driving down road at 50mph, the car veered to left and skidded about 500 feet before i could get vehicle to stop. when i did the driver tire was perpendicular to the car and the base of motor was resting on the ground. after mitsibushi repaired the ball joint and half shaft that also broke. i transported it to ocala florida from odessa texas on a car carrier since that point i have learned all 4 motor mounts were broken. i contacted mitsibushi because it is my understanding that for all 4 to break substantial trauma would have had to occur, the car has not other trauma except the wreck in odessa when the ball joint snapped. mitsibushi told me to take it to a local dealer here, i did and now they are declining to fix motor mounts that i contend were broken during that wreck. i have a complete file of events and receipts and names i would like to send via mail to your association if possible please provide me with a mailing address so i can fully explain the situation and provide the proof i have relating to the entire situation. i have been so financially and emotionally strained on this incident that i have been having problems with this car since 8 days after i purchased it used, but purchased to have reliable transportation and yet i have had more uncertainty with this car than anything all related t a ball joint recall. thanks sincerely patricia reeves.  view

When driving over bumps such as small potholes or railroad tracks, sometimes the abs and low traction lights come on. usually they go off. sometimes they don't. only method to turn the lights off are to pull of the road or highway and turn the engine off. additonally, sometimes when braking over potholes / railroad tracks, the abs engage and the clicking starts. fortunately, due to my careful driving, i give myself plenty of room and don't need to press harder to prevent a collision. also, sometimes with the low traction light coming on, the engine / transmission will rev up and engage the other front tire, which is completely useless when conditions are dry and normal.  view

Frame sheared at rear of correctlly and professionally installed class 3 hitch. the frame also bent between the front and rear leaf spring connections. the frame at the left leaf spring connection is cracked. there was no over loading of the tongue nor significant impact to shock load the frame. ford is claiming that it is not their problem because it is out of warranty. all involved parties have never seen any thing like this before. they site that the after market hitch "could be to blame" although they did not say that the hitch was improperly installed. a 4 year old 70,000 mile truck should not fail towing a trailer that is less than half of the towing capacity for its rating, regardless of warranty expiration. no one was injured because it was discovered before total failure occurred. this could have caused a jack knife and/ or rollover of the truck and trailer. the towing capacity of the truck is 6600 lbs and the tongue weight max is 500 lb. our trailer is a 10 foot 2 horse trailer weighing 2900 lbs empty and tongue weight of 250 loaded.  view

I emailed isuzu regarding problem - got form letter saying to contact dealer. dealer has been no help, and that's why i went to isuzu in the first place. hard copy letter being sent to isuzu, dealership, and nhtsa today. 4-wd repeatedly fails to engage at any speed. dealership claims they can not reproduce, though i have driven it into the garage twice this winter with it failing. they did tell me that they had trouble above "parking lot speeds" but "meets manufacturer specifications" since they could get it to engage eventually. when i push the button, at any speed, the light just flashes. this happens almost always first thing in the morning, and about 50% of the time otherwise. (the car is kept in a garage overnight so it isn't a temperature thing). they did mention that it has been a problem for other owners. i believe it is a safety issue since i bought this vehicle to be safe driving in snow, and without the 4wd, it's a rear-wheel drive vehicle and a menace on less-than-perfect roads. the dealership also told me that after i reach 60,000 miles, that there will be no coverage under warranty, even though this has been documented for over a year.  view

I am an owner of a 1999 chrysler plymouth neon. it has come to my attention that everyone who i know or have come in contact with who owns a neon has a major oil leak problem which usually starts at about 70,000 miles. it appears that the head gasket chrysler used is a rubber head gasket which fails and as a result major oil laeakage occurs. this costs somewhere in the vicinity of $600 - $800 to fix. since it is such a widespread problem could this be cause for a recall? i have taken exceptional care of my car and i do not feel that i should have to pay a mechanic this amount of money to fix such a default, especially having a monthly payment of over 300 to chrysler which i still have for another year and a half. please advise as to how i can remedy this and if there is a chance for a possible recall. thank you very much.  view

The automatic transmission of this vehicle literally fell apart, while the car was being operated. luckily my wife and 3 children were not on the highway when this occurred! after having the transmission looked at and fixed, we were told by the mechanics that a gear broke, as a result of poor craftsmanship. as a result the transmission was destroyed. there was nothing that we could have done to prevent this from happening. ford has a long history with faulty transmissions in the ford taurus. for some reason they are unwilling to fix the problem. a transmission with 42,000 miles on it should not just fall apart!  view

The front headlight assemblies for the 1993-1996 lincoln mark viii's are of extremely poor quality with very low light output. this is a known issue with this "first" generation of the mark viii family. lincoln updated the "second" generation of mark viii's (1997-1998) with a high intensity beam headlamp, that sufficiently increased the amount of light projected from the headlamps. i perform a fair amount of driving on interstate highways in phoenix in the early evening timeframe, at highway speeds of 65 mph. the low light output of these headlamps on the mark viii makes for what i and many other mark viii owners feel is an unsafe driving condition. obstacles in the road are difficult to see in a manner that would allow me to safely maneuver around them, should the need arise. further, while driving through residential areas after dark, the dim light projected from the headlamps does not provide sufficient lighting to safely make myself aware of neighborhood children, pets, joggers, etc. i am very concerned for my safety and the safety of others due to the poor quality of light produced by these headlamps, which are factory installed on all 1993-1996 lincoln mark viii's. i feel it is only a matter of time before myself, my passengers, or a pedestrian will come to harm due to the cars inability to illuminate objects after dark in a manner that is safely expected for all vehicles traveling on the road. thank you for your time in this matter.  view

Rear seatbelted passengers hit their heads on non-cushioned rear pillars during normal driving conditions. on a bumpy road, both rear passengers can get painful bumps on their heads. at the very least the pillars should be cushioned. i spoke to the dealer, but they unfortunately could not recommend a solution. this reminds me of the obsolete hard/rigid dashboards on old cars.  view

When i reported that the chirping/squeaking sound had returned (around the engine belts) to the service dept. at sheehy nissan in annapolis, the service person (mary) said that, if we can't recreate the sound the mechanic can't fix it. i proceeded to tell her to look at her data base for dec 2001, and she would see that it has been only a month and the sound is back, but intermitent, and the service manager-zeek knew what it was after they had changed out the (2) defective senor recall. she got impatient and repeated the same again to me, about recreating the sound. not being very educated or patient with customers, but rude, only served to upset me further about this vehicle and the complacent attitude i was up against. i thought, i would hate to think what would happen to me if one of those belts gave out. its my life, not mary' . i also told her when the belts make that sound, the engine hestitates. this made no difference to this "service expert."  view

I am very frustrated. i am now looking at having to replace the switch that controls my headlights, turn signals, and cruise control yet again, and this time only 3 weeks after it was last replaced, which was 1/2/02 and that was only 2 and 1/2 months after i last had it replaced in october, and before that, it was replaced in august (in all my car has had 5 switches since i bought it new and now looking at having a 6th). for a switch to burn out like this so frequently, is a hazard and not safe, especially when driving. i have had, in the past, my headlights go out while i was on a free-way at night. my mechanic, on 1/2/02 also replaced the actual headlights at the recommendation of a chevy dealer mechanic, who told him that apparently the trailblazers are also experiencing this same problem because they have the same switch. i think the chevy dealer should issue a recall on this and take care of the problem. i shouldn't have to take my car in every month or two to have the part replaced. it is not fair to my mechanic who has to do it free, and not fair to me because it is a big inconvenience, not to mention unsafe to have this problem occuring so frequently. perhaps a recommendation from you would get chevy to do something about this problem.  view

(sounded like a ruse.) owner was forced to accept offer in light of safety concerns. suggest investigation of defective part, as currently held by service agent and why original part is no longer available to accommodate repair making the fix to manufacturer's new designs(desires)? owner has expressed his total dissatisfaction to service agent with no results, short of suggested withdrawal of offer. service manager suggested if owner did not wish to participate in the "fix" he would suggest that the owner not completely fill up the gas tank. owner notes an extremely close proximitiy of the defective original (and replaced) plastic vent assembly to rear muffler assembly. the replacement tank is also plastic. the original gas tank was reported to be "good" at time of recall, and at time of replacement. service manager alluded to free replacement of tanks shown to buckle or bow at time of recall #845. similar offer was not extended at present time of replacement of gas tank.  view

I was going 55 mph on beltway. i discovered that my brakes were very hard to push and could not stop. pulled off to shoulder and could not pick up any aceleration. i had the car taken immediately to dealer for check-up. the dealer (fox) advised that the brake booster hose from the master brake cylinder became loose and was "crimped" near the hood and fire wall. this resulted in the flow of vacuum pressure being compromised and stopping. the dealer advised that the brake booster hose had to be "repositioned." this corrected both problems of failed braking and lack of accelleration. the dealer would not or could not fully explain if this was a manufacturing problem or was a result of human error when work is performed on the car. the dealer would not replace the "crimped" booster hose. lost of brakes when going highway speeds was quite upsetting. i thought i would pass this complaint on for you review and any action you deem fit. if this is a safty problem, perhaps a tech bulletin or warning should be issued by chev. thank you. please feel free to contact me for any other information required on your part.  view

Since we purchased this van, we have not been able to control the steering on the highway. it sways constantly and the steering mechanism is unable to counteract this. it literally is all over the road with the slightest bit of wind. we have a stabilizer bar installed in the front. it is dangerous to drive on the highway and must be kept in the outer most lane so it will not sway into the guard rail or another vehicle. the dealer has looked it over and has not been able to find any defects. nonetheless, we purchased it to transport our youth group and other groups in the church to and from events. members are becoming more and more hesitant to use it.  view

The dome light switch can be used to override the daytime running lamps, by pushing it in and out twice. the drls are turned off and a bell notifies you. this can be done at any vehicle speed / gear. this dome light switch is similar in shape and size to the fog lamp switch right next to it, and at night while driving it is difficult to tell the difference which one is being pressed. the problem lies with the fact that at night when the car is started, the headlights come on automatically, how nice. however, if you hit the override switch twice the headlights go off leaving you in the dark, wherever you may be. it seems that the drls are not aware whether it is day or night. if you turn the headlight switch to on this does not happen.  view

This motorcyce is advertised to have a seat height of 24.5" it has adjustable shock absorbers and the ride height can be varied a few inches higher. the problem is that when you are riding the bike and turn right the lean of the motorcycle will cause the operators right hand side floorboard rear support braket to scrape the ground. this is the location of the foot pedal control for the rear brake. i have had several close calls where the braket would catch on an rregularity in the pavement causing the bike to jump and almost throwing me off. i complained about it at the first and second service of the bike and the dealer simply set the ride height to a higher position, the bracket still. i have heard that one rider was thrown from his motorcycle at 65 mph because of this and he won a lawsuit against the manufacturer. the 1999 model had 1100 produced and the first half of the 2000 model year about 1250 have the same defect. the engineering for the floorboard bracket is a bad design. the manufacturer has produced three floorboard relocation kits to correct the problem and my dealer has indicated it will cost me over $500 in parts to correct. i feel that i should not have to pay to have themanufacturer correct something that they engineered improperly. these were $25,000 motorcycles and the advertising claims the best engineering. they have already designed kits to fix the problem which proves they are aware that it is a safety defect that needs correction. please stop the rip-off and keep us on two wheels safe also. p.s. this site needs to be upgraded to serve motorcyclist better, it appears that you have forgotten how many people utilize two wheel transportation in the questionaire. i would also like to file a major problem with thse stinking miminvans with the taillights mounted up high. i can only imagine how many deaths they have caused, it is a simple optical illusion when dirivng at night they look further away because the lights are too high.  view

This is my second report for the same problem in the same vehicle. the first occurrence was in may, 2001. (see odi id 561620) the most recent occurrence was 1/25/02. in this case, i was driving 30 mph and accelerated slightly to change lanes. as soon as i pressed the accelerated, it depressed to the floor of the vehicle, causing a dramatic increase in speed. i pressed the brake, but it was rock-hard and did not depress one bit. remembering the previous occurrence, i shut off the engine and coasted to a stop. only after i reached a complete stop did the brake pedal depress for me. i restarted the engine and it ran smoothly, so i drove to the nearest parking lot and inspected the ccruise and accelerator cables. they were clean and in no way kinked or appeared to have stuck for any other reason. the last time this happened, i drove to a local service shop, where my intelligence was questioned and the whole incident dismissed as driver error. took the vehicle to the dealership shortly thereafter, and was told that since they could not duplicate the problem, they could not fix it. i fear that i am stuck with an otherwise nice, low mileage deathtrap. it is the primary means of transportation for (pregnant) me and my 4-year-old. must one or all of us be injured or die for this to be taken seriously? if i choose to sell it, i certainly feel a moral obligation to let any potential buyers know what has happened. please help me! and this time, please send the signature form (i did not receive one last time) that allows you to report this to the dealership and manufacturer.  view
