| Please contact jason kennedy of the centre of auto safety in washington,dc. he has a complete and detailed description of all of the defects of the vehicle and the efforts of the manufacturer to not eliminate the problems, but to eliminate the owners/drivers and passangers by making the vehicle toxic and thus unusable or safely repairable. transport canada also has details and suggested that nhtsa be contacted as i am doing now. i have all the work orders and the original documented reports to back up each and every one of my statements and as the toxic chemicals were approved by gm in missouri, there are likely thousands more throughout north america being driven that can only be descibed as slow death. i look forward to your positive actions and assistance in this matter. no safety defect (s) listed in summary. *ak | |||

| The gmc dealer said the computer failed from corrosion at the computer causing the abs system to kick in on dry roads. then the abs brake warning light would come on. this cost me over $700 to get fixed and three days without the use of my van. the gmc dealer replaced the computer. it is important that the brakes work properly. i can see this as a big saftey problem with these vans! *ak | |||
