| 1997 | EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL:RADIO/TAPE DECK/CD ETC. | #1. STEREO PANEL IS EXTREMELY HOT WITH LIGHTS ON & DRIVING A WHILE, THERE IS ALSO A BURING SMELL. IT HAS BEEN WORKED ON TWICE, REPLACED ONCE AND STILL YOU CAN BURN YOUR FINGERS. #2. DEFOGGER TAKES FOREVER TO DEFOG IN THE MORNING, SOMETIMES IT MAKES VISIBILITY WORSE. #3. INTERIOR ROOF HAS BEEN HANGING DOWN SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT THE VAN AND HAS GOTTEN WORSE. #4. MY HEADLIGHTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED MANY TIMES BECAUSE OF CONDENSATION(AT LEAST 4 TIMES). #5. BRAKES. THE DEALERSHIP SAID I NEEDED NEW BRAKES BUT NOT UNDER WARRANTY SO I HAD THEM CHECKED ELSEWHERE. I NEEDED NEW BRAKES (FRONT). IT COST ME OVER$700 TO REPLACE. THEY SAID THEY WERE GRINDED DOWN ALL THE WAY AND I SHOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GRIND 2 TIMES BEFORE REPLACING. I HAVE THE PARTS. THEY SAID THE BRAKES SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN THIS FAR DOWN SO SOON, TOO PREMATURELY. I HAVE THE BILL WITH THE MECHANICS COMMENTS AND II WOULD LIKE REIMBURSEMENT FROM GM. #6. SIDE CONTROL PANEL PLASTIC IS BROKEN AND CONTROLS NO LONGER ALL WORK. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT IT. I WILL BE FILLING OUT ANOTHER FORM TO FILE THE REMAINDER OF THE PROBLEMS. |
| 2003 | SEATS | THERE ARE SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH MY VAN. THE FIRST IS THE PLUG AT THE BASE OF THE CAPTAINS CHAIR ON THE DRIVER SIDE HAS BROKEN TWICE. SINCE IT IS PLASTIC-I HAVE ALREADY REPLACED THIS ITEM. THE VAN HAS AN INTAKE LEAK WHICH I CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX, THIS WAS DISCOVERED AT 64,000 MILES. WITH A PRICE TAG OF OVER $500 DOLLARS TO REPLACE, IT IS STILL AN ISSUE. AT THE 60667 MILES IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT BOTH THE LEFT AND RIGHT FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THAT WAS DONE WITH THE HEFTY PRICE TAG OF $1,279.00 WHICH ALSO INCLUDED REAR WHEEL CYLINDERS WHICH HAD BEGUN LEAKING AND NEEDED REPLACED. NOW THE BRAKES ARE SQUEALING AGAIN AND I AM REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS PATTERN. *TR |
