THE ABS/HYDRAULIC SYSTEM HAS AGAIN GONE OUT ON MY VEHICLE. AFTER MY FIRST COMPLAINT 5 YEARS AGO, I HAD THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SENSOR REPLACED--UNFORTUNATELY IT WAS PRIOR TO GM'S CURRENT TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD HAVE STILL BE UNDER WARRANTY. NOW, I AM EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS. I FEEL THAT GM HAS OPTED TO MAKE A TEMPORARY LESS EXPENSIVE AND QUICK FIX RATHER THAN OFFERING THEIR CUSTOMERS A PERMANENT AND SAFE SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM. *AK

I JUST RECENTLY BEGAN HAVING TROUBLE WITH MY 2000 CHEVY MALIBU AND IT PROMPTED ME TO BEING RESEARCHING COMMON ISSUES WITH CHEVROLET VEHICLES. IN MY RESEARCH I CAME UPON AN INTERESTING FACT THAT SEVERAL MAKES AND MODELS SEEM TO HAVE INTERMITTANT TURN SIGNAL FUNCTIONALITY AND HAZARD LIGHT ISSUES.

THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT BOTTOM FRAME ASSEMBLY BROKE APART ON MY 1995 CHEV. SUBURBAN. THIS CAUSED THE SEAT TO TIP BACKWARDS. FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO CATCH MYSELF USING THE STEERING WHEEL AND BALANCE IN THE SEAT AND GET THE CAR UNDER CONTROL. I DID NOT CRASH, BUT THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE DESIGN.

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 A…
