| I have a 2000 full size chevrolet 1500 conversion van. the conversion was apparently done by gladiator. the drivers captain seat bracket broke, and repaired in april 2000. it is broken again. when i turned left the seat and i fell to the right. this created additional stress on the remaining bracket. the repeated failure of this bracket is of great concern to me as i am not secure in a seat with a broken bracket and in the event of an accident my passengers would have to deal with a potential missle as my seat with me strapped in would undoubtedly fly about the cabin of the van. i am taking it to classic chevy in mentor, ohio tomorrow to learn if they are going to repair the problem at their expense. i have had many vans and have never had to have seat brackets repaired. the car has never been in an accident and i am virtually the only person to drive it. i am of average size and in my mid 50's. just so you know that the vehicle has not been abused. *ak | |||
| SERVICE BRAKES | |||
| 05/05/2009 | 120000 | ||
| The first time may 2009 my brakes failed going down a hill,it turns out the main brake line had rotted out and i lost pressure to the rear brakes, i was lucky there was no one coming thru the intersection because i could not stop, my van was loaded and weighed 10,000 lbs. this is the second time the brake lines failed on this van sept 2012 the rear axle brake line failed on the highway just lucky no one was in front of me. i have a 1985 gm van that has the original brake lines on it and they are in very good shape.i have a 1965 toyota fj45 that has the original brake lines on it and no corosion on them. what is wrong here these lines should last a life time it is a safety item. now i will replace them all with new brake lines becase i can't trust the rest of them now i don't want to die or kill someone else. | |||

| The front brakes are significantly undersized and are exposed to excessive heat, as a result it is necessary to replaced the brake pads on an unrealistic schedule, the front pads are changed every 9000 miles (the consumer owns 2 1998 and one 2000). nlm | |||
