THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN A NIGHTMARE. THE BRAKES HAVE FAILED, THE STEERING COLUMN HAS GONE OUT, I HAD TO REPLACE ALL THE TIRES AND GET A FRONT END ALIGNMENT, THE ALTERNATER WENT OUT, AND THE TRANSMISSION HAS NEVER WORKED CORRECTLY. IT CLANKS LOUDLY WHEN SHIFTING GEARS, DOESN'T IDLE CORRECTLY, AND SHUTS OFF. I HAVE HAD IT REBUILT ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS. ON ONE OCCASION IT EVEN CAUGHT ON FIRE. THE TRANSMISSION IS BACK IN THE SHOP NOW. *AK( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 16 INCH )

IN APPROXIMATELY A FIVE WEEK PERIOD, MY TRUCK HAS FAILED TO START TWICE AND DIED ONCE AS I CROSSED A BUSY INTERSECTION. BOTH TIMES THE TRUCK FAILED TO START, THE DEALER INSTALLED A NEW FUEL PUMP, (NOW ON MY THIRD PUMP) AND AFTER THE VEHICLE DIED IN THE INTERSECTION WHILE MOVING ABOUT 20 MPH, A NEW DISTRIBUTOR CAP AND ROTOR WAS INSTALLED BUT THE FAILURE COULD ALSO BE FUEL PUMP RELATED. IN BOTH CASES THE MECHANIC STATED ON THE REPAIR ORDER THAT THE WIRING HAD SHORTED OUT. THE SERVICE MANAGER INDICATES THAT HE HAS NO SOLUTIONS AND THIS IS NOT AN UNCOMMON OCCURANCE. THE FACT THAT ONE NEVER KNOWS IF HE WILL SUCCESSFULLY MAKE IT ACROSS SEVERAL LANES OF TRAFFIC WITHOUT THE ENGINE QUITTING IS INHERENTLY UNSAFE. A CALL TO CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE INDICATES THAT THEY ARE VERY SORRY BUT THEY REALLY DON'T KNOW JUST WHAT TO TELL ME.
