DT: 1995 CHEVROLET CHEYENNE. THE CONSUMER STATED THE THROTTLE BODY MESSED UP THE VACUUM LINE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL MECHANIC, HE STATED IT WAS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. ALSO, THE MECHANIC CLAIMED THIS PROBLEM WOULD PREVENT THE VEHICLE FROM PASSING EMISSIONS. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED THE PREVIOUS OWNER COMPLAINED THAT VEHICLE WAS GETTING SLUGGISH. THE VACUUM CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION TO FAIL. ALSO, IT SURGED WHEN TAKING OFF, AND WHEN SPEED WAS LEVELED OFF. *AK
BF GOODRICH TIRE--TREAD SEPARATION AT SIDEWALL---SEARS STATED THAT THE TIRES WERE DEFECTIVE. SCC
INTERMITTENTLY WINDSHIELD WIPERS BECOME INOPERABLE, OBSTRUCTING DRIVERS VIEW. A RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED ON SIMILAR MAKES AND MODELS. HOWEVER, THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED. PLEASE PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.*AK
THE GAS TANK FELL OFF THE TRUCK WHILE DRIVING, THE TWO MOUNTING STRAPS CRACKED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SPOT WELDS, IT CONTINUE DRAGGING BEHIND THE TRUCK AND A HOLE WORE THROUGH THE TANK SPILLING 30 GALLONS OF GAS ON THE ROAD. NLM
BRIDGESTONE HT DUELER TIRE (P265 75 R16) EXPERIENCED TREAD SEPARATION. *SLC
THE SEAT BELT DIDNOT RETRACT AND I WAS THROWN INTO THE DASH OVER THE STEERING WHEEL GIVING ME 21 STITCHES IN MY FOREHEAD AND A BRUISED CHEST. ALSO, DRIVER'S AIRBAG FAILED TO DEPLOY. *AK
THE VEHICLE SURGES WHEN FIRST STARTED OR LOSSES POWER GOING ABOUT 55-75 MPH. FUEL INJECTION PUMP HAS BEEN REPLACED THREE PREVIOUS TIMES. THIS THE FOURTH TIME FOR FAILURE AND DEALER WON'T PAY FOR IT THIS TIME DUE TO MILEAGE.
DRIVER SEAT METAL FRAME IS BROKEN. PASSENGER SEAT HAS PARTS THAT HAVE FALLEN OFF AND DOES NOT OPERATE AS IT SHOULD. I BELIEVE THAT BOTH ARE SAFETY ISSUES.
WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR FAILED. YH
