| Defect Summary | Vehicle description: extended cab 4-wheel drive pickup trucks. some of these vehicles have a lower than specified torque on all three of the steering gear to frame attachment bolts. the bolts can loosen over time allowing the steering gear to move. this loosening can result in some unresponsive steering feel and some noise to the driver. | |||||||||||||||
| Consequence Summary | If this condition is ignored, the steering gear to frame can wear and/or fatigue the attaching bolts to the point of breakage or the bolts backing out. if all the bolts break or back out, the steering gear would separate from the frame resulting in a loss of steering control. | |||||||||||||||
| Corrective Summary | Dealers will retorque the steering gear to frame bolts to proper specifications. | |||||||||||||||

| I bought this truck in ohio for my wife cheryl, she reported that the abs brake would simply not work on accasion and the pedal would go straight to the floor .we took the vehicle in to the dealer but he could not find the problem . at lows speeds i was able to reproduce the problem. dealers down here say the sensor is bad. we pulled the fuse to disable the brakes when the vehicle was new becuase a delphi engineer told me that would at least keep the brakes working . i have 58000 miles on my truck and we have replaced the calipers the rotors and even some of the brake lines have rusted rupturing and causing a loss of brakes. the power steering hose line rusted at the cooler radiator. . yesterday the chevy dealer in gainseville called me to the shop to see how the frame is being eaten away , i believe the vehicle either wasn't proberly prepared when built or the protective paints and coating were deffective. the records at jim douglas chevolet evidence the expenses we have incuured to keep the truck operational. the abs module and the loss of break lines seem to relflect extemely poor metal coorosion resistance , even both my tailgate cable rusted and broke .each time i have taken in to the chevy dealer for repair they are amazed at the corrosion problems. even the tire jack in the passenger compartment was rusted and it was never used. the screws inside the center console were rusted. i spent between 2500.00 and 3000.00 in just the brake problem and that is without trying to fix the defective sensor module. i assure absent a forced recall i suspect gm will not fix this problem. gm conumer relatios suggested i get a recall number and maybe they could be of further assistance. thus i am send you my complaint. sincerely david and cheryl king . our vin is 1gcek19t2xz211614 our model is ck15753 the car was assembled at fort wayne. june 6,1999. note i selected 25 failures as an estimated of failed componets in the unrecarrage including the brakes and the abs module. | |||

| The vehicle power steering sometimes locks up or becomes very difficult to turn the steering wheel especially when making a left hand turn when your foot is braking the vehicle. at times it seems as if the power steering looses power. the local dealer has looked at the vehicle numurous times and has always stated they could not find anything wrong with with the power steering even after the service manager (at the time) had the power steering lock up while he was testing the truck. | |||

| Steering was pulling to right after tire rotation with gradual progression and after 4 alignments and 3 front tire swaps it still pulls to right not as severely but noticeably different than before rotation. also seems to have more play in the steering with about a 1/4 to 1/2 radius of no tire movement even though i am moving the wheel. dealer kept the vehicle 2 days and said their machine was off but i had the job done the first two times and 1 front tire swap at another place and they also checked to see if the machine was off and it wasn't. any suggestions. if i let go of the steering wheel i will almost immediately divert to the right. what is the standard for a vehicle after it is aligned-how far should you be able to travel in a straight line assuming the road is level? | |||
