#722552 | May 19, 2000

VEHICLE HAS A "STOP BUMP" OR "DRIVE LINE CLUNK" WHICH IS "CORRECTED" BY LUBRICATING DRIVELINE SLIP YOK AND DRIVESHAFT EVERY 2000 MILES. THIS OCCURS WHEN STOPPING AND FEELS AS IF THE CAR HAS BEEN BUMPED FROM BEHIND, CAUSING IT TO LURCH SLIGHTLY FORWARD. I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT IT IS NOT NORMAL OPERATION BUT CAN NOT BE FIXED. ALSO THE ALIGNMENT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED EVERY TWO MONTHS AS IT CONTINUALLY PULLS TO THE RIGHT (AN INDEPENDENT SHOP SAID THE IDLER ARMS ARE BAD). THERE ARE MANY SQUEAKS, BUMPS AND CLUNKS COMING FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE. *AK

#705727 | April 17, 1999

VEHICLE DEVELOPED A RANDOM PULL WHILE BRAKING, PARTICULARLY IN RAIN OR SNOW & SLUSH. IN THE BEGINNING IT WAS ONLY THE FIRST TIME YOU APPLIED THE BRAKES AFTER YOU DROVE 2 OR 3 MILES THEN IT HAPPENED ON DRY PAVEMENT. IT HAPPENS ONLY OCCASIONALLY, BUT CAN BE VERY SEVERE, IT NEARLY PULLED ME INTO THE GUIDE RAIL ON ONE OCCASION. THIS STARTED AROUND 12000 MILES AND IT NOW HAS 46000 MILES ON IT. THE DEALER HAS REPLACED PADS, TURNED ROTORS, ALIGNED THE FRONT END TWICE, AND GROUND THE CLEARANCE ON THE CALIPERS TWICE. AT GM DENIED HAVING MORE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS BUT I HAVE HEARD OF OTHER PAOPLE WITH THE PROBLEM. I WAS CALLED BY THE DEALER THE OTHER DAY TO BRING IT IN AGAIN TO LOWER THE FRONT END AND ANOTHER ALIGNMENT. I RECENTLY TOOK IT ON A TRIP IN WHICH MY BROTHER INLAW DROVE IT AND ASKED ME...
