THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY DIAGNOSTIC TESTING BECAUSE OF THE PROHIBITIVE COSTS. 5)THE TIRES ARE RECENT PURCHASE FROM SEARS, BUT THERE ARE DEFECTS IN THE TIRES. THE PASSENGER REAR TIRE HAS A SLOW LEAK THAT HAS BEEN TEMPORARILY SEALED WITH SEAL-TITE IN A CAN (A FRIEND GAVE ME HERS). THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE TIRE ALSO HAS A SLOW LEAK, AND IVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO AFFORD A CAN OF SEAL-TITE, AND HAVE JUST BEEN REFILLING THE TIRE AS NEEDED. 6)THE POWER WINDOWS MOVEMENT UP AND DOWN ARE PARTICULARLY SLOW AND THE GEARS SEEM READY TO BREAK DOWN ANYTIME. THERE MAY ALSO BE AN UNDETECTED ELECTRICAL PROBLEM HERE AS WELL. 7)THE BRAKES NEED SERIOUS WORK. THEY HAVE BEEN GRINDING A VERY LONG TIME. THE BRAKE PADS, ROTORS AND DRUMS MAY ALL NEED TO BE REPLACED, AS WELL AS THE BRAKE FLUID. 8)THE VEHICLE HAS NOT HAD ITS 100,000 MILES, THE 125,000 OR THE 130,000 MILES MAINTENANCE WORK DONE.

WINDSHIELD WIPERS DO NOT COME ON A LOT OF THE TIME. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS WE LIVE IN RAINY PACIFIC NORTHWEST AND WE END UP DRIVING UP TO 1/2 HOUR IN RAIN BEFORE THEY COME ON IF THEY COME ON AT ALL. THIS IS A HUGE HAZARD AS IT COULD LEAD TO A VERY SERIOUS AND DEVASTATING INJURY OR LOSS. I HAVE NOT CONTACTED A DEALER YET BUT THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BECOMING MUCH WORSE. IT STARTED OUT INFREQUENTLY AND NOT FOR A LONG TIME BEFORE THE WIPERS WOULD COME ON, BUT NOW IT IS CHRONIC, IT IS NEARLY EVERY TIME. *AK
ON CERTAIN MINIVANS, PICKUP TRUCKS, AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES WITH CERTAIN MODEL-ENGINE COMBINATIONS, THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR MAY FAIL DUE TO CRACKED SOLDER JOINTS ON THE CONTROLLER CIRCUIT BOARD. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS COULD WORK INTERMITTENTLY OR NOT AT ALL.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THIS WERE TO OCCUR DURING BAD WEATHER, DRIVER VISIBILITY WOULD BE REDUCED, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE WIPER MOTOR CIRCUIT BOARD AND COVER. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN ON JUNE 19, 2003. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT CHEVROLET AT 1-800-222-1020, GMC AT 1-800-462-8782, OR OLDSMOBILE AT 1-800-442-6537.
THESE VEHICLES WERE ASSEMBLED WITH THE LEFT-HAND LOWER CONTROL ARM-TO-FRAME REAR NUT NOT TIGHTENED TO THE SPECIFIED TORQUE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: LOW TORQUE CAN ALLOW THE ATTACHMENT BOLT TO LOOSEN AND SUBSEQUENTLY FATIGUE AND BREAK. THIS CAN RESULT IN SEPARATION OF THE LEFT-HAND CONTROL ARM FROM THE FRAME INCREASING THE POTENTIAL FOR A VEHICLE ACCIDENT.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL TIGHTEN THE LEFT-HAND LOWER CONTROL ARM-TO- FRAME REAR NUT TO THE PROPER TORQUE SPECIFICATION.
THE FUEL LINES ATTACHED TO THE FUEL TANK WERE NOT PROPERLY TIGHTENED.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THESE FUEL LINES CAN LOOSEN TO THE POINT OF ALLOWING FUEL TO LEAK FROM THE LINES RESULTING IN A VEHICLE FIRE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL LOWER THE FUEL TANK AND TIGHTEN THE FUEL TANK LINES TO THE PROPER TORQUE VALUE.
