EGR VALVE & OXYGEN SENSORS PROBLEM THE ABOVE MENTIONED ITEMS HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED AS A PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES BY DEALER & PRIVATE MECHANICS. A SERVICE BULLETIN WAS SENT OUT IN 1997 WITH A SUMMARY THAT PROVIDES IF NOTHING ELSE A TEMPORARY FIX. I HAVE SPENT SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS FIXING THIS PROBLEM OVER THE LAST 5 YEARS AND WOULD LIKE TO HAVE SOME TYPE OF REIMBURSEMENT, PREFERABLY A RECALL TO HAVE IT FIXED PERMANENTLY. I HAVE VIEWED OTHERS COMMENTS ON THIS VEHICLE AND IT IS AN OVERALL PROBLEM. SEEMS LIKE THE MANUFACTURER IS NOT TAKING ANY RESPONSIBILITY. SINCE YOUR QUESTIONS BELOW DO NOT PRVIDE ROOM FOR EXPLANATION IN THE CRASH COLUMN, I WOULD LIKE TO REMIND EVERYONE THAT WHEN THESE VALVES GET CLOGGED UP THE VEHICLE LITERALLY SEIZES. JUST STOPS, NICE THOUGHT! MY PERSONAL MECHANIC HAS RECOMMENDED THAT WHEN THE VEHICLE STARTS CLUGGING (AS IT WILL), PRIOR TO SEIZING UP & JUST STOPPING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, (AS IT HAS ALREADY DONE), BRING IT IN, (WE WILL CLEAN IT OUT). WHO'S FAULT WILL AN ACCIDENT BE? THAT REPAIR COULD BE TO THE TUNE OF $100.00 DEPENDING ON IF ANYTHING ELSE WAS AFFECTED BY THIS. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED, AND STILL NOTHING IS DONE ABOUT IT. CURRENTLY WE ARE A TWO CAR FAMILY WITH 2 TEENAGERS IN THE MARKET. CHEVROLET DEALERS WILL NOT BE ON MY LIST TO VISIT. FOR THIS PROBLEM YOU WOULD NEED A REACURRING INCIDENT DATE.*AK

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: CERTAIN 4-WHEEL DRIVE PICKUP TRUCKS AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH ABS (ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEM) MANUFACTURED FROM SEPTEMBER 1989 THROUGH AUGUST 1996. UNDER CERTAIN DRIVING CONDITIONS THE SWITCH WHICH SIGNALS THE ABS SYSTEM WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS IN 2-WHEEL OR 4-WHEEL DRIVE CAN MALFUNCTION CAUSING INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCES DURING ABS STOPS WHILE IN THE TWO-WHEEL DRIVE MODE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THIS OCCURRED AT A TIME WHEN MINIMUM STOPPING DISTANCE WAS REQUIRED, A VEHICLE CRASH COULD OCCUR WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE OR REPAIR THE 4-WHEEL/2-WHEEL DRIVE SWITCH.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: LIGHT DUTY PICKUP TRUCKS AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, 2 AND 4-WHEEL DRIVE. SOLDER JOINTS NEAR THE WIRING HARNESS CONNECTOR CAN CRACK CAUSING THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS TO WORK INTERMITTENTLY.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS CONDITION CAN RESULT IN INOPERATIVE WIPERS, REDUCING A DRIVER'S VISIBILITY, AND INCREASING THE RISK OF A VEHICLE CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE WIPER MOTOR CIRCUIT BOARD AND COVER.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: 4-DOOR, 4-WHEEL DRIVE AND ALL-WHEEL DRIVE MULTI-PURPOSE PASSENGER VEHICLES. DURING DEVELOPMENT TESTING, THE PROP SHAFT CONTACTED THE INBOARD SIDE OF THE FUEL TANK ALLOWING FUEL LEAKAGE. THIS LEAKAGE WAS IN EXCESS OF THE AMOUNT PERMITTED BY FMVSS 301, "FUEL SYSTEM INTEGRITY."

Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL ADDITIONAL SHIELDING OF THE FUEL TANK. THIS WILL BE ADDED WITHOUT REMOVING OR DISASSEMBLING THE FUEL SYSTEM.
