What 1993 Chevrolet Beretta owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Vehicle was parked with consumer being inside the vehicle. While moving the steering wheel back and forth for adjustment consumer noticed play in the steering. The steering rack mounting bracket pulled from the firewall. Consumer contacted the dealer for an appointment. *ak the steering became sloppy.
Steering column smokes while driving causing gas fumes to seep through the vents. Dealer notified.
While driving the vehicle at 55mph and no warning the back left tire tread started to separate which cause the tire to blow out and the consumer had to pull over. Dunlop model size# unknown. Dot# unknown.
Steering unit pulled away from firewall causing loss of control. My mechanic told me the firewall had rusted out and asked me if the car had been in a flood, which it had not. However, shortly after I had bought the car new in 1993 I had a problem with water leaking into the car through the dash and onto to the front floors every time it rained. I brought the car back to the dealer and asked for a new car. However, they said it could be repaired. They did something with the firewall at that time and assured me that everything was corrected. The leaking did stop. However, after bringing the car back to the dealer's body shop after this incident, I was told that it was unrepairable, since the entire firewall is now rotted out and the cause of this was directly related to the original problem, which was a factory defect. After almost a month of waiting and gm originally agreeing to give me $1000 towards a new car even though the street value of this car, which is in excellent condition otherwise, is $3000, they now have pulled the offer. I should have stuck to my guns back in '93 for a new car!
No summary. Dt
While traveling and without prior warning driver's side seat belt broke. Dealership was aware of problem.
Dees chrevolet claimed they fixed the leaks. They were rude will never do business with them again. When it rains I put a tarp over the car. A body shop informed me that the paint job was not original and the car has never been wrecked or repainted since I bought it on april 1993. Why does a car leak when it never has been wrecked. How did it get another paint job when it has never been wrecked or any structure damage to it. Dees chevrolet need to be investigated undercover and see how they do business with their warranty department. They will fix it again for you at your cost but they couldn't fix it in the first place.
It leaks into the driver side floorboard. I do not know where it is coming from but it is a common problem and has probably been like that since the car was bought new. I just bought the car three months ago.
Smoke is coming from steering column, and it's so thick that driver can't see where to go. When this problem is about to occur the electrical system goes haywire.
