NEW 2003 CHEVROLET TRACKER 4DR 4WD WITH THE FOLLOWING SAFETY RELATED DEFECTS; 1. TWO OF THE TIRE VALVES LEAK FOR VARYING LENGTHS OF TIME AFTER CHECKING PRESSURE OR FILLING TIRE WITH AIR, 2. WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID FROM FACTORY FROZE, 3. THERE ARE STAMPED OPENINGS IN THE LEFT AND RIGHT REAR FENDER PANNELS UNDER THE TAIL LIGHTS ABOUT 3 X 4 INCHES IN SIZE. ONE OF THEM IS JUST OVER WHERE THE TAIL PIPE EXHAUSTS ON THE LEFT SIDE. THEY ARE COVERED BY WHAT SEEMS TO BE A GENERIC "SCOTCH TAPE." WHILE REMOVING THE LEFT TAIL LENS (OVER THE EXHAUST) FOR INSTALATION OF A TRAILER LIGHTING HARNESS, I SAW THE ABOVE AND DISCOVERD THAT THE TAPE WAS LOOSE EFFECTIVELY LEAVING A RATHER LARGE COMMUNICATION INTO THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. GM WAS NOTIFIED BY ME VIA TELEPHONE ONE WEEK AGO. I CONSIDER THE ABOVE SERIOUS SAFETY HAZZARDS WITH RATHER CHEAP FIXES. SINCE THEY HAVE NOT GOTTEN BACK TO ME, I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT.

Opened Oct 30, 2006 · Closed Dec 3, 2007
Status: closed (inferred from source dates) · Suspension:front
IN OCTOBER 2007, GM INITIATED A SPECIAL COVERAGE PROGRAM FOR ALL MY 1999 THROUGH 2004 CHEVROLET TRACKER VEHICLES SOLD OR CURRENTLY REGISTERED IN SALT-BELT STATES.THE PROGRAM EXTENDS THE WARRANTY COVERAGE FOR FRONT SUSPENSION CROSSMEMBER CORROSION TO 10 YEARS OR 150,000 MILES, WHICHEVER OCCURS FIRST.GM IS ADMINISTERING THE PROGRAM IN PHASES DUE TO PART AVAILABILITY.THE FIRST PHASE STARTED IN OCTOBER 2007 AND COVERS THE MY 1999 AND 2000 VEHICLES.OWNERS OF MY 2001 THROUGH 2004 VEHICLES WILL RECEIVE LETTERS AT A FUTURE DATE, BUT ARE ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE FREE REPAIRS FROM THE PROGRAM IF THE CROSSMEMBER REQUIRES REPLACEMENT.GM'S PROGRAM PROVIDES FREE INSPECTIONS FOR CONSUMERS EVERY 12 MONTHS THROUGH THE TERMS OF THE POLICY ADJUSTMENT.COPIES OF THE DEALER BULLETIN AND OWNER LETTER FOR GM'S SPECIAL COVERAGE PROGRAM ARE ATTACHED TO THE CLOSING REPORT FOR THIS INVESTIGATION. THE RATE OF CONFIRMED LCA SEPARATIONS AT 5 YEARS IN SERVICE IS LESS THAN 10 PER 100,000 VEHICLES, WHICH IS LOW RELATIVE TO OTHER INVESTIGATIONS OF FRONT SUSPENSION ISSUES PREVIOUSLY INVESTIGATED BY ODI. ACCORDINGLY, THIS INVESTIGATION IS CLOSED.THE CLOSING OF THIS INVESTIGATION DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A FINDING BY NHTSA THAT A SAFETY-RELATED DEFECT DOES NOT EXIST.THE AGENCY WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR COMPLAINTS AND OTHER INFORMATION RELATING TO THE ALLEGED DEFECT IN THE SUBJECT VEHICLES AND TAKE FURTHER ACTION IN THE FUTURE IF WARRANTED.
