| 2007 | SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:SEAT HEATER/COOLER | YESTERDAY MAVIS WAS VISITING OUR DAUGHTER (BRENDA) IN KILLEEN. BRENDA OWNS ONE OF THOSE FANCY H3 BURNT ORANGE HUMMERS WITH ALL THE DOODADS. IT LOOKS LIKE IT JUST ROLLED OFF OF FORT HOOD READY FOR WARFARE. IF FACT IT ATTACKED MY LOVELY DEMURE WIFE WITH NO PROVOCATION WHATSOEVER. NOW REALIZE I WAS DUTIFULLY WORKING AT MY JOB WHILE MAVIS WAS OUT BUT SHE SWEARS BY THE STORY AND AT ME. MAVIS AND BRENDA JUMP IN THE HUMMER TO GO SEE THE DOCTOR IN TEMPLE WHICH IS ABOUT A 20 MILE TRIP. BRENDA WAS DRIVING. SHORTLY AFTER LEAVING THE HOUSE MAVIS STARTS SQUIRMING AROUND IN THE SEAT COMPLAINING ABOUT HOW HOT THE SEAT WAS AND TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO TURN THE DARN SEAT HEATER OFF. SHE THOUGHT MAYBE SHE WAS HAVING HOT FLASHES. BRENDA PULLS OFF THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND RUNS AROUND THE HUMMER, HOPING NO ONE RUNS OVER THEM, TO TURN OFF THE SEAT HEATER. SHE TURNS THE HEATER OFF OR SO SHE THOUGHT. SHE HEADS DOWN THE ROAD AGAIN WHEN MAVIS HOLLERS THAT HER BOTTOM WAS BURNING OFF. SHE PULLS OFF THE ROAD AGAIN AND THEY FINALLY GET THE DARN THING TURNED OFF. THE SEAT AND MAVIS? BOTTOM START TO COOL DOWN. AFTER VISITING THE FAMILY DOCTOR THEY RETURNED TO KILLEEN AND MAVIS JUMPED IN OUR CAR TO HEAD FOR HOME. THE 2 HOUR TRIP FROM KILLEEN TO RED OAK TOOK NEARLY 6 HOURS. SOME KNOT HEAD DAMAGED A BRIDGE ON I35 SHUTTING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I WAS WATCHING TV WHEN MAVIS GOT HOME AND SHE IMMEDIATELY RUNS IN THE BEDROOM PULLING DOWN HER SLACKS AND SHE SHOWS ME 1ST AND 2ND DEGREE BURNS ON THE BACK OF HER THIGHS AND HER BOTTOM. THE BURNS LOOK VERY PAINFUL AND VERY UGLY. I TOOK PICTURES. SOME PICTURES ARE OF THE BURNS. TODAY BRENDA CALLED GM TO INFORM THEM OF THE ATTACK. THEY THINK A HEAT SENSOR MUST HAVE FAILED BUT WE?LL KNOW MORE AFTER THEY TAKE A LOOK AT IT. IT?S AMAZING THAT NEITHER THE SEAT NOR HER CLOTHING SHOWED ANY HEAT DAMAGE. MAVIS IS DOING WELL BUT IS A BIT TENDER. SHE IS GOING TO BE SORE FOR A FEW DAYS. *JB |
| 2007 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | EVER SINCE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED AT BETWEEN 25MPH AND 0. I WORK FOR THE US CENSUS BUREAU, PERMANENT WORKER AND I TRAVEL THROUGH ALL TYPES OF WEATHER CONDITIONS IN A DAY, FROM 9,000 FT MOUNTAINS COVERED IN SNOW TO DESERT GRAVEL ROADS, MESAS, CLIFFS. OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS THE VEHICLE HAS SHUT OFF WHILE TRAVERSING MOUNTAIN ROADS COVERED IN SNOW WITH NO GUARD RAILS, AND THREE TIMES, WHEN THE ENGINE SHUT OFF, I LOST STEERING AND CAME WITHIN INCHES OF GOING OFF THE SIDE (CLIFFS) OF THESE ROADS, NOT TO MENTION IN TOWN, WHEN MY ENGINE SHUTS OFF AS I DRIVE, I HAVE COME CLOSE TO HITTING OTHER VEHICLES OR POLES AS I LOSE POWER STEERING ON A TURN.. I HAVE TO DRIVE ABOUT 90 MILES ONE WAY TO GET IT SERVICED, WHILE UNDER WARRANTY, I HAD IT "REPAIRED" ABOUT FIVE TIMES, NO SUCCESS, ONCE WARRANTY EXPIRED, GM DEALERS 90 MILES AWAY WERE STILL WILLING TO INSPECT VEHICLE SINCE PROBLEMS STARTED WHILE UNDER FULL GM WARRANTY, BUT NOW, THEY REFUSE TO GIVE ME A RENTAL AND TELL ME THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. MY LOCAL GM DEALER (ALAMOGORDO) REFUSES TO INSPECT VEHICLE AND THUS I AM REQUIRED TO MAKE A 180 MILE ROUND TRIP, BUT NOW, EVEN DEALER TELLS ME THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE IS AND THEY CANNOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM IN THE SHOP. I TOOK ABOUT 6 VIDEOS WITH MY DROID AFTER THE PROBLEM HAPPENS, BECAUSE THE PROBLEM LINGERS FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES, THEN IT STOPS AND THE VEHICLE WORKS FINE. THE VIDEOS HOW THE RPM'S GOING UP AND DOWN, UP AND DOWN, UNTIL THE CAR SHUTS OFF, I RESTART IT, THEN IT SHUTS OFF AGAIN, OVER AND OVER AGAIN. PROBLEMS USUALLY APPEAR IN THE AM, AS I DRIVE OFF FOR THE FIRST TIME, BEFORE IT IS DRIVEN A GOOD DISTANCE, BUT CAN AND HAS HAPPENED AT ANY MOMENT. VERY DANGEROUS AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE EACH MORNING AS I LEAVE MY MOUNTAIN HOME, ESPECIALLY IN COLD SNOW WEATHER. *TR |
