DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING IN NORMAL CONDITIONS, THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DOES NOT PROPERLY WORK. THIS OCCURS AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. WHILE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS DEPRESSED NO PROBLEMS ARE APPARENT. HOWEVER, WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS NOT DEPRESSED THE HEATER BLOWER DOES NOT BLOW AND THE EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR LIGHTING IS SO DIM THAT THE CONTACT HAS VISUAL PROBLEMS WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES FOR INSPECTION AND REPAIRS. THE DEALER REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR ALTHOUGH THAT DID NOT REMEDY THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER CAN NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM; THEREFORE NO ADDITIONAL REPAIRS WERE MADE.

DT*: THE CONTACTED STATED THE VEHICLE MAKES NOISE AND VIBRATES EXCESSIVELY WHEN PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL OR TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT. VEHICLE SPEED DOES NOT AFFECT THE SOUND OR VIBRATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER SEVERAL TIMES FOR INSPECTION. THE LOCAL DEALER NEVER DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM. SO THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP FOR INSPECTION. THE MECHANIC FOUND THE FOLLOWING PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE AND NOTED THEM ON A SERVICE INVOICE "RUB MARKS ON THE LEFT DRIVE AXLE, THE REAR MOTOR MOUNT IS NOT HOLDING THE ENGINE SOLID AND THE ENGINE IS MOVING EXCESSIVELY ON THE CRADLE." THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC SUSPECTS THE CASTER OR CAMBER MAY BE OUT CAUSING OUTER TIRE WEAR ON BOTH THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE TIRES. THE INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP ONLY INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND THEY NEVER MADE ANY REPAIRS, AS THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO THE SERVICE DEALER WHO NEVER DIAGNOSED A SPECIFIC PROBLEM. HOWEVER, THE DEALER REPLACED THE TIRES, STRUTS, HUBS AND SOME UNDERCARRIAGE PARTS. THE CONTACT FINALLY RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE MANUFACTURER OFFERING TO PROVIDE THE CONTACT WITH A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER DETERMINED THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE REPAIRED BECAUSE OF DAMAGE TO THE UNDER CARRIAGE, HOWEVER THE MANUFACTURER NEVER SPECIFIED HOW THEY CAME TO THIS CONCLUSION.*AK

Official recalls
3Mar 19, 2010
THE BRAUN CORPORATION HAS NOTIFIED NHTSA ABOUT A DEFECT IN CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2005-2008 GENERAL MOTORS MOBILITY CONVERSION, HANDICAPPED ACCESSIBLE LOW FLOOR MINIVANS. DURING CONVERSION, THE DRIVER OR PASSENGER SIDE TRAILING ARM MODIFICATION MAY NOT HAVE BEEN ADEQUATELY WELDED.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: A SQUEAKING OR CLUNKING NOISE MAY DEVELOP. THE TRAILING ARM BUSHINGS MAY PREMATURELY WEAR AND THE TRAILING ARM MAY FRACTURE OR SEPARATE, ALLOWING THE REAR AXLE TO BECOME PARTIALLY SEPARATED FROM THE CHASSIS INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND WILL HAVE A SUPPLY OF RETROFIT PARTS AVAILABLE TO REMEDY THE VEHICLES FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON JUNE 4, 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT BRAUN AT 1-800-488-0359.
Jun 20, 2005
CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES FAIL TO CONFORM TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 135, 'PASSENGER CAR BRAKE SYSTEMS.' TO MEET THE STANDARD, THE VEHICLE MUST NOT MOVE FOR FIVE MINUTES WHEN STOPPED ON A STEEP HILL WITH THE PARKING BRAKE APPLIED AND THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL (N). SOME OF THESE VEHICLES FAILED THIS TEST.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: WHEN THE PARKING BRAKE IS RELEASED, THE DRIVER MAY NOTICE UNINTENDED BRAKING WHEN ACCELERATING, DECELERATING, OR COASTING, AND A NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. UNINTENDED VEHICLE MOVEMENT COULD OCCUR INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT FOR PARKING BRAKE LEVER SLIPPAGE AT EACH REAR BRAKE CALIPER AND REPLACE THE CALIPER IF LEVER SLIPPAGE IS IDENTIFIED. THE RECALL BEGAN ON NOVEMBER 14, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT BUICK AT 1-866-608-8080, CHEVROLET AT 1-800-630-2438, PONTIAC AT 1-800-620-7668, OR SATURN AT 1-800-972-8876.
Feb 18, 2005
ON CERTAIN MINIVANS, THE OUTBOARD RELEASE HANDLE ON THE IMPACT-SIDE SECOND-ROW BUCKET SEAT MAY BE ACTUATED AND THE REAR LATCHES MAY UNLATCH EARLY IN A SIDE IMPACT CRASH. THIS WAS DISCOVERED IN A SIDE IMPACT TEST RUN BY GM, UNDER CONDITIONS SIMILAR TO NHTSA'S NEW CAR ASSESSMENT PROGRAM (NCAP) SIDE IMPACT TEST.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THE REAR LATCHES OF THE SEAT RELEASE EARLY IN A SEVERE SIDE IMPACT, THE FRONT OUTBOARD LATCH MAY DISENGAGE AND INCREASE THE POTENTIAL FOR INJURY TO THE OCCUPANT OF THE SEAT.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REMOVE THE SEAT LATCH RELEASE HANDLE AND INSTALL A BLACK PLASTIC CAP OVER THE EXPOSED METAL STUD TO ELIMINATE THE SIDE IMPACT SAFETY CONCERN FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON APRIL 5, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT SATURN AT 1-800-972-8876, CHEVROLET AT 1-800-630-2438, AND PONTIAC AT 1-800-620-7668.
