Purchased vehicle used for family vehicle, after having it for six months and 4,000 miles the brake lines have failed. Rusted to the point of total replacement, as well as the fuel line being rusted so bad that the repair shop would not touch the brake lines without replacing fuel lines, we have six children that could have been injured or killed because of this... Please do something, it is expensive and dangerous. I see all other complaints have felt useless, why is this not being taken care of? How many people will have to go through this same problem? And if it is a known fact, why has there been no kind of announcement made publicly? I hate to think that our government would take that risk, where is the safety that we as americans are guaranteed by our leaders and offices?

It will not start!! I have to listen for the fuel pump to start circulating before I turn the ket on all the way. I have dropped the fuel tank, and replaced the fuel pump 5 times, the plug and wires on the fuel pump, the fuel relay, you name it I have fixed it at least twice. After a month or no longer than two, I'm fixing it again. This will be the 6th time unless I got some more helpful information. We have a new motor in it and new transmission too. It has 140,000 miles on it and I take very good care of it.

Check engine warning light would illuminate during normal vehicle operation and subsequent mechanical inspections could not detect the following impending problem. My family and I were returning from a weekend vacation in arizona on our way home. While driving through the middle of the desert just past the california/arizona state line I heard a loud "pop" and our vehicle lost power. We were towed back into needles, ca and it was determined that the fuel pump had failed. We were forced to stay the night in a local hotel as a new pump had to be installed in the gas tank. I have been informed that there have been numerous problems with suburban fuel pumps and some recalls have resulted from this situation. I would like to know if there is an avenue I can pursue for repair compensation as this was a costly replacement. Sincerely, [xxx]. *nm information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

Dt: caller says vehicle stalled. The lights on the dashbord came on and the vehicle died. This has happened 6 times, she did not know when it will happen. It stalled at any speed and under any condition. Dealer and manufacturer have not been contacted yet. The caller said the gas gauge malfunctioned, and there was a recall on other years of model. The gas gauge would show full and go down to empty and back up to full, now it will not move at all.
