THE PAINT HAS BEEN PEELING OFF OF MY VAN SINCE IT WAS 4 YEARS OLD. I HAVE GONE TO SEVERAL CHEVY DEALERS AND COMPLAINED. THEY HAVEN'T OFFERED ANY HELP SAYING THAT IT WASN'T THERE FAULT TO WE WERE PAINTING THEM UNTIL A MONTH AGO AND MOST RECIENTLY I MET A MAN WITH A 1994 SAME MODEL THAT GOT HIS REPAINTED ONE MONTH AGO. ANOTHER MAN , HIS FRIEND, WAS OFFERED A NEW PAINT JOB ON HIS 1991 PICK-UP IF HE PAID 500. OF THE NEW PAINT JOB. I HAVE REPLACED MY FRONT BRAKES 3 TIMES EVERYTIME THE ROTORS WARP AND IT WOBBLES WHEN I STOP. I HAVE SPENT SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS ON THE BRAKES. THE LAST TIME I HAD EVERY COMPONENT REPLACED: HOSES, WHEEL CYLINDERS, PORTIONING VALVES, ROTORS, PADS EVERYTHING AND WITHIN A MONTH THEY WERE WOBBELING AGAIN I DON'T BELIEVE THIS IS SAFE AND I WANT IT CORRECTED. I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO TURN. EVERY MECHANIC TELLS ME THEY CAN FIX IT BUT I CAN'T BELIEVE IT AND I CAN'T AFFORD IT. NO SAFETY DEFECT LISTED IN SUMMARY. *AK
