  TREAD SEPERATED FROM CORE OF TIRE, ON A HOT DAY, SPEED WAS 65 MILES PER HOUR,( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 15 )

• Service brakes, hydraulicFiled Mar 2, 2000

  BOTH BRAKE LINES CROSSING FROM RIGHT TO LEFT ON THE CROSS MEMBER ARE RUSTY AND SEEPING BRAKE FLUID AND RESULTED IN THE RIGHT FRONT BRAKE FAILING AND THE PEDAL TO NEARLY GO TO THE FLOOR, THE PLACEMENT OF THE LINE CAUSES THE LINES TO GET COVERED WITH MUD, DIRT AND SALT FROM THE ROAD WHICH RUST THE LINES.

• Fuel system, gasolineFiled Jan 4, 2000

  WE HAVE HAD AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL FILLER "NECK" ON THIS VEHICLE. WHEN YOU FILL THE VEHICLE UP WITH FUEL, ONCE IT IS ALMOST FULL, THE GASOLINE TANK "BELCHES" (FOR LACK OF A BETTER TERM) AND FUEL IS EXPELLED FROM THE TANK ALL OVER THE PERSON FILLING THE VEHICLE (UNLESS YOU STAND APPX. 2' AWAY FROM THE GAS PUMP NOZZLE). WE HAVE TALKED TO OWNER'S OF SIMILAR VEHICLES (THIS IS A FULL SIZE CHEVY CONVERSION VAN) AND ALL OF THEM HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. FUEL LITERALLY ERUPTING FROM THE FILLER NOZZLE CAN EASILY SPRAY ANYONE STANDING NEARBY AND CAN CAUSE CAUSTIC BURNS TO HUMAN FLESH. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM!! BOTH CHEVROLET & GMC MANUFACTURED THIS VEHICLE FROM 1971 - 1996 AND MOST, IF NOT ALL, PROBABLY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THANK YOU! *AK

  Incident Jan 2, 2000

• Seat beltsFiled Dec 23, 1999

  SEAT BELTS ON BOTH FRONT SEATS ARE POORLY PLACED AND CAUSE THE SEAT BELT TO LAY ACROSS THE NECK OF THE DRIVER AND FRONT SEAT PASSENGER. THIS HAS ALSO CAUSED EXCESSIVE WEAR ON THE BELTS TO THE POINT OF BEING FRAYED. IN AN ACCIDENT, IT APPEARS THAT SEVERE NECK INJURY WOULD OCCUR DUE TO THEIR PLACEMENT. THIS IS A MARK III CONVERSION VAN SO I AM NOT SURE IF THE FAULT LIES WITH THE MANUFACTURER OR THE CONVERSION COMPANY. *AK
