LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. INADVERTANT LANE CHANGE DURING NOON URBAN TRAFFIC DUE TO SUDDEN MOVEMENT OF DRIVER SEAT TO THE REAR. SEAT COLLAPSE CAUSED BY SEAT SEPARATION AT LEFT FRONT SEAT TRACK ATTACHMENT TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEAT PAN. MATERIAL FAILURE OF SEAT FRAME RESULTING IN BOLT ATTACHMENT RIPPING FREE OF SHEET METAL SEAT BOTTOM. THE SEAT IS UNSTABLE AND RIGHT FRONT MOUNT FAILURE IS IMINENT. NO REPAIRS ATTEMPTED YET BUT FAILURE APPEARS TO BE WELL KNOWN AND PREVALENT ACROSS ALL GM TRUCK LINES IN 94-96 YEAR GROUP. NOTE: NO OPERATOR OF THIS VEHICLE SINCE 1996 PURCHASE HAS WEIGHED MORE THAN 180 LBS AND THE SEAT HAS NOT BEEN SUBJECTED TO ANY COLLISION OR ABUSE. NORMAL LOADING AND USAGE IS LIGHT TO MODERATE DUTY.

THERE WERE NON EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE UNEXPECTED FAILURE OF MY STANADYNE PUMP MOUNTED DRIVER (FUEL SOLENOID DRIVER). THE FAILURE CAUSED MY 1995 6.5L DIESEL CHEVROLET SUBURBAN TO STALL IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC! THIS CAUSED ME TO LOOSE POWER BRAKES AND POWER STEERING. BEING A 3/4 TON PICKUP, THIS WAS NOT A PRETTY PICTURE. THE STALL CAUSED ME TO RUN OFF THE ROAD AND INTO A DITCH. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM I INSTALLED A NEW ~$400 STANADYNE PMD. THESE PMDS ARE KNOWN TO GO OUT EVERY 30,000 MILES. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE, AND STANADYNE NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS MANUFACTURE FLAW. *NM

JANUARY 2001 MY PAINT STARTED FALLING OFF IN LARGE PIECES, CHEVROLET WAS NOTIFIED APRIL 2001. THE RESPONSE WAS ITS WEAR AND TEAR OR ACID RAIN, I HAVE SEEN MANY OTHER WHITE SUBURBANS LOSING THEIR PAINT THE SAME WAY. I HAVE NOTIFIED GM ON THEIR CUSTOMER ONLINE CENTER AND RECIEVED A COOKIE CUTTER RESPONSE THAT IT IS NOT A MANUFACTURER DEFECT, I NOTIFIED GM IN 2001 AND 2004 AND RECIEVED THE EXACT SAME EMAIL WORD FOR WORD. I WENT BACK TO MY LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER AND TOLD HIM THE PROBLEM, HE TOOK PICTURES AND PROCEEDED TO WORK THE PROBLEM(APRIL 2004) THE RESPONSE FROM THE FACTORY IS THAT THEY WILL COVER 30% OF THE PAINT IF I HAVE THEM DO IT. I HAVE TWO ESTIMATES FROM REPUTABLE BODY SHOPS AT $2600-$3000. THAT MEANS I WOULD HAVE TO COVER ABOUT $2000 FOR A FACTORY DEFECT, BOTH BODY SHOPS DIAGNOSED THE PAINT PROBLEM AS DELAMINATION ( SEPERATION OF PAINT FROM PRIMER). AS OF THIS TIME THERE IS NO RESOLUTION AS I FEEL GM HAS KNOWN ABOUT THE PAINT PROBLEM SINCE 1993 AND IS WAITING FOR THESE OLD CARS TO BE SCRAPPED SO THEY WON'T HAVE TO REPAINT THEM. MY 1995 SUBURBAN 2500 4X4 IS A LOW MILEAGE VEHICLE AND I WANT TO KEEP IT AS LONG AS I CAN!*AK

ODI OPENED THIS PE ON NOVEMBER 13, 1995 BASED ON AN OWNER COMPLAINT CONCERNING A SEPTEMBER 1995 ACCIDENT INVOLVING A 1995 1/2 TON GM PICKUP TRUCK.THE VEHICLE OWNER ALLEGED THE BOLT USED TO JOIN THE 2-PIECE STEERING SHAFT WAS MISSING.THE SHAFTS THEN SEPARATED AND STEERING CONTROL WAS LOST. DURING THE COURSE OF THIS INVESTIGATION, ODI HAS GATHERED INFORMATION FROM STAFF AT THE FOLLOWING: AUTO COLLISION INSURANCE COMPANIES, THIRD-PARTY PRODUCTS LIABILITY INDUSTRY, INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOPS, INVOLVED VEHICLE OPERATORS, GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION. ACCORDING TO GM, THE STEERING COLUMN AND SHAFTS WERE CHANGED FOR THE 1995 C/K MODELS AT THE START OF THE 1995 MODEL YEAR.THE CHANGE WAS MADE TO INCORPORATE DRIVER AIR BAG SYSTEMS FOR THE C/K10/20 WITH GVWR OF LESS THAN 8500 LBS.HOWEVER THE CHANGE WAS MADE FOR ALL C/KS. FOR THE 1995 MODEL YEAR, THE STEERING COLUMN SHAFT WAS CONNECTED TO THE UPPER INTERMEDIATE SHAFT WITH A BOLT THROUGH THE COLUMN SHAFT AND THE UNIVERSAL JOINT COUPLING.NO NUT WAS REQUIRED.THIS CONNECTION WAS MADE AT THE STEERING COLUMN ASSEMBLY FACILITY AND THE STEERING COLUMN IS SHIPPED TO THE VEHICLE ASSEMBLY PLANT.THIS JOINT IS LOCATED INSIDE THE VEHICLE CAB.THE UPPER INTERMEDIATE SHAFT WAS CONNECTED TO THE LOWER INTERMEDIATE SHAFT ASSEMBLY IS ALSO CONNECTED TO THE STEERING GEAR AT THE VEHICLE ASSEMBLY PLANT. THE CONFIGURATION OF THE UPPER INTERMEDIATE SHAFT WAS CHANGED AT THE START OF THE 1996 MODEL YEAR, WITH A SMALL NUMBER OF 1996 STEERING COLUMNS PULLED AHEAD IN THE 1995 MODELS ASSEMBLED AT THE OSHAWA AND FT. WAYNE ASSEMBLY PLANTS.THE UNIVERSAL JOINT OF THE UPPER INTERMEDIATE SHAFT WAS REPLACED WITH A POT JOINT.THIS CHANGE WAS MADE TO UTILIZE A JOINT MANUFACTURED INTERNALLY INSTEAD OF EXTERNALLY SUPPLIED UNIVERSAL JOINT.THE POT JOINT STYLE CONNECTION TO THE STEERING COLUMN SHAFT WAS MADE WITH A THROUGH BOLT AND NUT.THIS CHANGE WAS EFFECTIVE FOR 1995 VEHICLES ASSEMBLED AT FT. WAYNE AND OSHAWA IN OCTOBER 1995 AND FOR ALL 1996 VEHICLES. ODI'S ANALYSIS FOUND THAT, OF THE 24 FIELD REPORTS, 14 INVOLVE VEHICLES PRODUCED AT THE FT. WAYNE ASSEMBLY PLANT.ALL 7 OF THE ACCIDENTS INVOLVE TRUCKS BUILT THERE, AS WELL.HOWEVER, BECAUSE THE FT. WAYNE ASSEMBLY PLANT PRODUCES APPROXIMATELY THE SAME NUMBER OF VEHICLES AS THE OTHER SUBJECT VEHICLE ASSEMBLY PLANTS, THIS FINDING CAN NOT BE EXPLAINED ON THE BASIS OF VEHICLE POPULATION AND EXPOSURE.ODI, WITH THE INFORMATION CURRENTLY AVAILABLE, IS UNABLE TO EXPLAIN THIS PHENOMENON.ODI DOES HAVE INFORMATION INDICATING THAT THE PROBLEM OCCURS INFREQUENTLY AND VERY EARLY IN THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE.FOR THE 24 FIELD REPORTS, INCLUDING THOSE REPORTING ACCIDENTS, A FAILURE OCCURRED, ON AVERAGE, 129 DAYS AND 3900 MILES AFTER THE TRUCK WAS BUILT.BASED ON INFORMATION FROM ALL SOURCES, CURRENT THROUGH NOVEMBER 1995, ODI HAS FOUND THAT ONE INCIDENT HAS OCCURRED INVOLVING A SUBJECT VEHICLE BUILT SINCE JULY 8, 1995, - A PERIOD OF 257 DAYS.THE DATA REVIEWED INDICATES ACCIDENTS, ALLEGEDLY DUE TO THE SUBJECT FAILURE, OCCUR EVEN EARLIER IN ACCIDENTS, ALLEGEDLY DUE TO THE SUBJECT FAILURE, OCCUR EVEN EARLIER IN THE LIFE OF A SUBJECT TRUCK, AT AN AVERAGE OF APPROXIMATELY 103 DAYS. FINALLY, BASED ON THE 115 WARRANTY AND FILED REPORTS COMBINED, THE INCIDENT RATE IS 12/100,000 VEHICLES.OF THE 115 REPORTS, 69 INVOLVE VEHICLES BUILT AT THE JANESVILLE AND FT. WAYNE ASSEMBLY PLANTS (35 AND 34 RESPECTIVELY).THE JANESVILLE FAILURE RATE IS 15/100,000 AND THE FT. WAYNE RATE IS SLIGHTLY LOWER AT 14/100,000. A SAFETY-RELATED DEFECT HAS NOT BEEN INDENTIFIED AT THIS TIME AND FURTHER USE OF AGENCY RESOURCES DOES NOT APPEAR WARRANTED.ACCORDINGLY, THIS INVESTIGATION IS CLOSED.THE CLOSING OF T
