DT: THE CONTACT OWNS A 1994 CHEVROLET S-10 PICK-UP TRUCK. THE SCREWS HOLDING THE THROTTLE PEDAL IN PLACE WERE TOO LONG. THEY PROTRUDED THROUGH THE FIREWALL INTO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT; THE SCREW PROTRUDED INTO THE LOOM THAT HAS THE WIRING IN IT AND SUPPLIED THE POWER TO THE IGNITION COIL. THIS CAUSED THE FUSE TO BLOW OUT, WHICH IN TURN, CAUSED THE ENGINE TO DIE. THIS STARTED ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM. THE CONTACT PAID THEM FOR THE DIAGNOSIS WHICH WAS $113.00.*AK

FAILURE AND LOST OF CONTROL OF WINDSHIELD WIPER AND WASHER SYSTEM. NOTE NUMEROUS INCIDENTS HAVE OCCURRED. COMPONENTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED BY CONSUMER THREE TIMES. THIS IS NOT A VIBRATION OR POOR SOLDER PROBLEM. THIS IS A KNOWN DESIGN PROBLEM AND IS VERY DANGEROUS. G.M. IS MANIPULATING THE NHTSA AND NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR A KNOWN DESIGN FLAW. THIS FAILURE HAS CAUSED ME TO DEPART THE ROADWAY ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS RESULTING IN PROPERTY DAMAGE. THE DATE REFLECTED IS THE MOST RECENT OF MANY INCIDENTS. *LA

I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE SYSTEM ON MY VEHICLE,1994 CHEVROLET S10 TRUCK,(VIN#[XXX]). I HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND I HAVE BROUGHT IT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE DEALER I PURCHASED IT FROM (SANDS CHEVROLET, GLENDALE AZ). THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT EVERYTHING IS WORKING PROPERLY. I RECENTLY CAME ACROSS SOME INFORMATION REGARDING TWO (2) CAMPAIGNS FROM GM (#99I006000 AND 96V195000) THESE BOTH DEAL WITH THE EXACT PROBLEM I HAVE PRESENTED TO THE DEALER. I CONTACTED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE AND TALKED TO [XXX] NELSON A CUSTOMER SERVICE SUPERVISOR WHO TOLD ME THAT GM HAS NO KNOWLEDGE OF THESE CAMPAIGNS. SEEMS STRANGE TO ME THAT GM DOESN'T KNOW ABOUT THIS PARTICULARLY WHEN IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE MALFUNCTION OF THE BRAKES ON THIS VEHICLE, SEEMS LIKE GM DOESN'T WANT TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PRODUCING DEFECTIVE SYSTEMS THAT MAY RESULT IN CONTRIBUTING TO AN ACCIDENT.*AK INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
