1995 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN 1500

THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. I BOUGHT THE CAR USED AND HAVE HAD PROBLEMS IDENTIFIED BY THE PRIOR RECALLS WITH GRADUAL INCREASING DIFFICULTIES (ACTION NUMBERS EA97022 AND EA02006). I CONTACTED THE DEALER WITH THE RECALL INFORMATION AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PART HAD ALREADY BEEN REPLACED BY THE RECALL BUT DID NOT HAVE A REPLACEMENT DATE. THEY NOTED THAT BECAUSE THE PART HAD ALREADY BEEN REPLACED AND IT HAD BEEN OVER 1 YEAR THEY ARE NO LONGER UNDER ANY FURTHER OBLIGATION. MY PROBLEM NOW IS THAT THE REPLACEMENT PART HAS THE SAME DEFECT PROBLEMS AND CREATES THE SAME HAZARDS AS THE ORIGINAL PART THAT WAS COVERED IN THE RECALL. I AM GOING TO HAVE TO GET IT FIXED BUT WANTED TO FILE A COMPLAINT THAT REPLACEMENT IS JUST AS DEFECTIVE AND DANGEROUS AS THE ORIGINAL PART THAT WAS RECALLED. IF THE REPLACEMENT PART IS RECALLED, I WOULD LIKE A REIMBURSEMENT. *TR

MY 95 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN HAS ALOT OF SAFETY ISSUES. THE SEATBELTS DO NOT WORK AT ALL. WE WERE INVOLVED IN A CRASH AND THEY DID NOT LOCK AND ONE OF THEM ACTUALLY BROKE I HAVE 5 SMALL CHILDREN THAT HAVE TO BE RESTRAINED WITH THE SEATBELTS AND THEIR CAR SEATS WONT STAY PUT THIS VEHICLE HAS NO LATCH SYSTEM SO NO WAY TO SECURE THE CAR SEATS. I HAVE LOOKED AND LOOKED AND AM FINDING NO RECALL ON THIS ISSUE BUT THEIR ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT IT. ALSO THE SEAT TRACKS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND PASSENGERS SIDE ARE BROKEN AND WHEN STOPPING SUDDENLY THEY POP REALLY LOUD AND THE SEAT MOVES. ALSO THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS DO NOT WORK PROPERLY THEY STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDOW OR DON'T WORK AT ALL. ALSO THE FRONT SUSPENSION HAS BEEN REPLACED NUMEROUS TIMES AND I MEAN EVERYTHING STEERING BOX TIE ROD ENDS YOU NAME IT BEEN REPLACED BUT THE TRUCK STILL WANDERS ALL OVER THE ROAD AND KEEPS GETTING WORSE TOOK IT TO MECHANIC AND THEY ARE NOT FINDING ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE ANYMORE A

DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT FRAME ON MY 1995 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN HAS BROKEN AND I'M HEARING A TREND OF THIS HAPPENING TO OTHERS WITH THE SAME YEAR / MAKE VEHICLE. THIS COULD BE A HAZARD BECAUSE THIS HAPPENS WHEN THEN VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN AND THE SEAT BECOMES UNSTABLE. I FEEL THE MANUFACTURER COULD MAKE IMPROVEMENTS ON THE MATERIAL USED TO MAKE THE SEAT FRAME. *TR
