Page 3 of 3: complaints 41 to 47 of 47, newest first, as owners wrote them.
1. The front brakes are not working properly and are causing the vehicle to pull to the right, there have been multiple attempts to fix this problem, the rotors have been resurfaced, the pads replaced and collapsed brake lines replaced. 2. The vehicle has a vibration and the dealer is unable to find the cause, the driveshaft was replaced and the tires have been balanced several times.
Front brakes have been replaced three times, each time one of the calipers was reported to have frozen or stuck, so that only one front brake was working. The rear brakes were first reported to have a rearmain seal leak, but later found to never work. The transmission failed after only 29000 miles while the vehicle was being test driven by the mechanic checking the brakes.
Equipped with a tow package while pulling a trailer, the rear end goes out and the gears lock up. Then vehicle stalls unexpectedly which may result in a crash. Dealer cannot determine the cause. Please provide further information.
Driving on the highway 30mph towing a trailer. Rear differential was leaking oil and smoking from the rear end.this happened three times in one week. Consumer contacted dealer and manufacturer.
Rear axle burned up and caused vehicle to stall unexpectedly while driving. This could have caused a crash. Dealer could not determine the problem.
While driving on the road I was attempting to merge into highway traffic when the transmission went to shift gears (this is an automatic transmission). The truck went to downshift upon accelerating up and dropped out of gear (gear shift still in drive), the rpms went up very high, as if in neutral. I let off of the accelerator and it eventually dropped into gear. The transmission began making noises and I ended up having it towed to the dealer because it would not go into any gear. The dealer, miller brothers chevrolet, replaced some parts, including a cracked input housing, and returned the truck to me. Not long after I returned the truck with problems shifting between gears; also when it would downshift when accelerating. They returned the truck to me saying they could not duplicate the problem. The very next day it was doing the same thing and I drove it to the dealer and demanded that a service representative ride with me in the vehicle. I did not need to drive very far beyond the dealer's lot when the representative said to turn around and take it back. He could feel and hear what was happening. They returned the truck to me again after replacing another part. Once again, it beagain with the same problem and is currently at the dealer (6/21/99).
