THE BEDLINER WAS INSTALLED AT THE CAR DEALER SHIP AT TIME OF PURCHASE. AT THAT TIME WE WERE TOLD THAT YOU CAN FILL GAS CONTAINERS IN THE BACK OF THE TRUCK BECAUSE THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH STATIC ELECTRICITY IGNITING THE GAS. THERE IS ALSO A STICKER ON THE BEDLINER WARNINING OF THIS PROBLEM. THERE ALSO SEEM TO BE ANOTHER PROBLEM PROBLEM. AFTER STOPPING TO GAT GAS AT A STATION ON I-95 OUTSIDE OF WASHINGTON AND WITH NO FLAMIBLE MATERIALS IN THE TRUCK THE BED LINER IGNITED IN FLAMES ABOUT 1 MILE DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I BELIVE THAT BECAUSE IT IS AN OVER THE RIM BED LINER AND THE FILL SPOT FOR GAS IS JUST 8" AWAY FROM THE EDGE OF THE LINER GAS FUMES DURING THE FILLING PROCESS GET TRAPED UNDER THE LINER AND CAN BE IGNIGHTED BY STATIC. BECAUSE OF THE TYPE OF LINER THERE IS A GAP BETWEEN THE TRUCK BOBY OF ABOUT A 1/4" ALL THE WAY AROUND THE TRUCK. BECAUCE THAT GAP IS ONLY 8" AWAY FROM WHERE THE FUEL IS PUT INTO THE GAS TANK FUMES ARE GETTING ONDER THE LINER. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO. IF FUMES CAN BE IGNITED THAT ARE IN THE BACK OF THE TRUCK THEN CERTIANLY FUMES THAT GET TRAPPED UNDER THE LINER CAN IGNITE.*AK

WITHIN DAYS OF MY PURCHASE OF THE 2000 S-10 PICKUP THE PROBLEM APPEARED. THE TRUCK BOUNCES LIKE IT'S GOING OVER A BUMP EVERYTIME THE VECHICLE STARTS OUT FROM A STOP, IT HAS AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. I HAVE TAKEN THIS BACK TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES, THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT BECAUSE THIS TRUCK HAS A TWO PIECE DRIVESHAFT AND THAT THIS IS HOW IT IS SUPPOSED BE. I AM 52 YEARS OLD AND HAVE BEEN DRIVING CHEVROLET SINCE I WAS 16, I'VE HAD TRUCKS WITH TWO PIECE DRIVESHAFTS BEFORE AND NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. I CONTACTED GENERAL MOTORS AND FILED A COMPLAINT AND AFTER FIVE MONTHS THEY SENT A REGIONAL REP OUT HE SAID THIS IS HOW THIS VECHICLE WAS DESIGNED TO PERFORM, I DROVE ANOTHER SIMILIAR TRUCK ON THE LOT AND IT DID THE SAME THING. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE OBSERVED THE DRIVE SHAFT BY LYING ON THE GROUND NEXT TO THE TRUCK AS IT STARTS OUT, YOU CAN SEE THE DRIVE SHAFT MOVING IN THE CARRIER BEARING VIOLENTLY. THIS IS OF GREAT CONCERN BECAUSE IF THE DRIVE SHAFT SHOULD BREAK TOWARDS THE FRONT IT COULD CAUSE THE BACK OF THE TRUCK TO POLE VAULT AND CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT, WORSE AT HIGHER SPEEDS. I WILL NOT ALLOW ANYONE ELSE TO DRIVE THIS TRUCK BECAUSE I FEEL IT'S A ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. THIS IS VERY CONCERNING BECAUSE GENERAL MOTORS WILL NOT CORRECT THIS PROBLEM ON ANY TRUCKS LET ALONE ADMIT THERE IS ONE. I'M HOPING YOU WILL INVESTIGATE THIS PROBLEM AND WORK GM TO GET THIS FIXED BEFORE PEOPLE GET KILLED, IF IT HASN'T HAPPEND ALREADY. I FEEL THAT ANY DESIGN PROBLEM OR DEFECT WITH THE DRIVETRAIN OF ANY VECHICLE IS VERY SERIOUS, EVEN IF I TRADE THIS TRUCK OFF THIS WILL BE A PROBLEM FOR SOMEONE ELSE AND I'M GOING ON RECORD WITH YOU HOPING TO SAVE A LIFE. JUST FOR YOUR INFO I HAVE BEEN TRAINED AS A AUTO MECHANIC AND WORKED IN THIS FIELD FOR 15 YEARS, AND HAVE BEEN VERY INVOLVED IN DRAG RACING DURING THIS TIME. I HAVE BEEN TRAINED AS A FAA LICENSED AIRFRAME AND POWERPLANT MECHANIC AND HAVE WORKED IN THIS FIELD FOR OVER 20 YEARS.*AK

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: LIGHT DUTY PICKUP TRUCKS AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES. SOME OF THESE VEHICLES WERE BUILT WITH INCORRECT PAYLOAD INFORMATION ON THE VEHICLE CERTIFICATION LABEL. THE PAYLOAD SHOWN ON THE LABEL IS GREATER THAN THE MAXIMUM VALIDATED PAYLOAD. IF THE VEHICLE WERE LOADED TO THE INCORRECTLY LABELED PAYLOAD, IT MAY NOT RIDE AND HANDLE IN THE MANNER THAT THE DRIVER EXPECTS.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS COULD RESULT IN A LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE OR AN INABILITY TO STOP THE VEHICLE WITHIN EXPECTED STOPPING DISTANCES.
Remedy: OWNERS WILL BE SENT A NEW LABEL FOR INSTALLATION ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR OF THE VEHICLE.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES, LIGHT DUTY TRUCKS, SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, AND MINI VANS EQUIPPED WITH TRW SEAT BELT BUCKLE ASSEMBLIES. THE BUCKLE BASE OF THESE SEAT BELT ASSEMBLIES WERE NOT PROPERLY HEAT TREATED AND THEREFORE DO NOT PASS THE LOAD BEARING REQUIREMENT OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 209, "SEAT BELT ASSEMBLIES."
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IN THE EVENT OF A VEHICLE CRASH, THE OCCUPANT MAY NOT BE PROPERLY RESTRAINED.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE VEHICLE'S SAFETY BELT BUCKLE ASSEMBLY DATE CODES AND, IF NECESSARY, WILL REPLACE ANY SAFETY BELT BUCKLE ASSEMBLY.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: LIGHT DUTY PICKUP TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH 4-WHEEL DISC BRAKES. SOME OF THESE VEHICLES HAVE AN ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) MOTOR CONTAINING AN OUT-OF-SPECIFICATION SPRING CLIP. THIS CLIP COULD ALLOW THE MOTOR BEARING TO BECOME MISALIGNED. IF MISALIGNMENT OCCURS, EVENTUALLY THE ABS WOULD BE NON-FUNCTIONAL.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THE BASE BRAKES WOULD REMAIN FULLY FUNCTIONAL, BUT THE DYNAMIC REAR PROPORTIONING (DRP) SYSTEM, WHICH OPTIMIZES FRONT TO REAR BRAKE BALANCE, WOULD BECOME INOPERATIVE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE BRAKE PRESSURE MODULE VALVE ASSEMBLY.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: S -TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH 2 WHEEL DRIVE. THESE VEHICLES MAY HAVE HAD THE RIGHT-HAND ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) MODULE FEED PIPE AND/OR BRAKE CROSSOVER PIPE TUBE NUTS TIGHTENED WITHOUT SEATING THE PIPE-FLARED-ENDS ENOUGH TO WITHSTAND NORMAL ASSEMBLY AND VEHICLE INPUTS WITHOUT PARTIALLY UNSEATING. THIS DOES NOT COMPLY WITH REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS NO. 105, "HYDRAULIC SERVICE BRAKE NORMAL, EMERGENCY, AND PARK BRAKING PERFORMANCE."
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THIS OCCURRED, THE SEATING SEAL COULD BE BROKEN DURING VEHICLE ASSEMBLY, OR FROM EARLY ROAD INPUTS OR BRAKE FLUID CYCLING, AND A LEAK COULD OCCUR INCREASING THE BRAKE STOPPING DISTANCE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE BRAKE PIPE UNION FOR SIGNS OF BRAKE FLUID, AND IF NECESSARY, INSTALL A NEW BRAKE PIPE UNION.

GM WILL HONOR ALL REQUESTS BY OWNERS WHO OPT FOR REPLACEMENT WITHOUT QUESTION REGARDLESS OF THE CONDITION OR APPEARANCE OF THE CABLES. GM HAS AGREED TO MAIL REMINDER NOTIFICATIONS TO OWNERS EVERY TWO YEARS UNTIL THE TAILGATE SUPPORT CABLES HAVE BEEN REPLACED OR UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS 12 YEARS OLD.ODI'S INVESTIGATION INDICATES THAT A SIGNIFICANT MAJORITY OF THE REPORTED COMPLAINTS (87%) AND INJURIES (94%) HAVE OCCURRED IN MY 2000 - 2003 S/T VEHICLES.
