MY TRUCK HAS A 6 WAY POWER SEAT. WHEN I RECLINED IT WHILE PARKED, IT DIDN'T LOCK IN POSITION WHEN PUT BACK IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION.

CHEVROLET K1500 1997 Safety Review #10045104

CHEVROLET K1500 1997 car safety problem was reported on Oct 27, 2003.CHEVROLET K1500 1997, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK . I HAVE A 1997 4WD CHEVY PICKUP WITH 4 WHEEL ABS. WHEN COMING TO A STOP, JUST BEFORE THE VEHICLE ACTUALLY COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP, THE ABS ACTIVATES, THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR, AND THE TRUCK SURGES FORWARD ANOTHER FEW FEET. THIS HAPPENS ON DRY PAVEMENT! THERE IS NO REASON FOR THE ABS TO ACTIVATE AND THIS CAUSES A DANGEROUS SITUATION WITH THE UNPREDICTABLE SURGE FORWARD OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND TONS OF OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. YAHOO SEARCH: "ABS ACTIVATES ON DRY PAVEMENT" REVEALED THOUSANDS OF HITS OF CONSUMERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. BECAUSE IT IS RELATED TO BRAKES, I BELIEVE THERE IS A SERIOUS SAFETY RISK TO CONSUMERS AND GM SHOULD RECALL THE DEFECT. THIS HAPPENS EVERYDAY AND IS VERY NOTICEABLE. I LEAVE EXTRA SPACE WHILE BRAKING UNTIL I AM ABLE TO GET THIS FIXED. *LA.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 80000 miles.

I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE THIS COMPLAINT VERY CLEAR AND TO THE POINT. I HAVE BEEN VIEWING THE COMPLAINTS LOCATED ON YOUR WEBSITE AND FEEL THAT THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT PUPOSE FOR RECALLING THESE VEHICLES. I PURCHASED A 1997 CHEVY K20 APPROX 1 1/2 YEARS AGO. EVERYTHING SEEMED TO WORK FINE UNTIL A FEW MONTHS LATER. I STARTED TO EXPERIENCE SOME STEERING PROBLEMS. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF I AM DRIVING AROUND A CORNER OR STRAIGHT BUT THE STEERING WILL BECOME VERY LOOSE AND VEER INTO ONE DIRECTION ALL ON ITS OWN. THAT IS JUST ONE OF THE SIGNIFICANT PROBLEMS I HAVE EXPERIENCED WITH OWNING THIS VEHICLE. I NOW HAVE COME TO FIND THAT THERE IS EVEN A GREATER THREAT TO MY SAFETY AND THAT OF MY FAMILY BECAUSE I HAVE NOW BEEN INFORMED THAT MY FUEL GAUGE AND FUEL PUMP WIRES, INSIDE THE GAS TANK, MELTED INSULATION AND BURNT THE CONNECTOR. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A DEADLY EXPERIENCE FOR MYSELF AND THAT OF ANYONE THAT COULD HAVE BEEN IN THE VEHICLE WITH ME IF IT WOULD HAVE CAUGHT FIRE PRIOR TO MY KNOWLEDGE OF THIS INFORMATION.

I FEEL THIS MATTER NEEDS IMMEDIATE ATTENTION DUE TO THE FACT THAT OWNERS/DRIVERS OF VEHICLES ARE REQUIRED TO CARRY AUTO INSURANCE, HOWEVER, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT NONE OF US HAS ANY CONTROLL OVER.

CHEVROLET K1500 1997 car safety problem was reported on Mar 06, 2005.CHEVROLET K1500 1997, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK:WHEEL SPEED SENSOR . VEHICLE IS A 1997 CHEVY K1500 PICKUP THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE ABS BRAKES SOMETIMES ACTIVATE AT LOW SPEEDS, WHICH DEFINATELY CAUSES IT TO TAKE A COUPLE EXTRA FEET TO STOP, WHICH COULD BE A PROBLEM SINCE IT TYPICALLY HAPPENS WHEN IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC AND YOU'RE ALREADY CLOSE TO THE CAR IN FRONT. THE DEALER GAVE ME A TSB WHICH DESCRIBES THE PROBLEM AND SAYS IT IS DUE TO CORROSION OF THE WHEEL HUB. MY MECHANIC TRIED TO FIX THE PROBLEM, BUT THE SENSOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WAS SIEZED IN THE HUB, WHICH LIKELY MEANS THE ENTIRE HUB WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. FOR THE TIME BEING, THE ABS SYSTEM HAS BEEN DISABLED, AND THE BRAKES ARE NOW FUNCTIONING NORMALLY (BUT OBVIOUSLY WITHOUT THE ANTI-LOCK FUNCTION). BASED ON NEWS REPORTS, THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WHICH GM APPEARS TO BE DOWNPLAYING. THIS HAS PROMPTED ME TO FILE THIS REPORT SO THAT MY VEHICLE COULD BE COUNTED IN THE STATISTICS. NOTE THAT THIS WAS NOT A SINGLE EVENT, SO THE "INCIDENT DATE" IS APPROXIMATELY WHEN THE ABS SYSTEM WAS DISABLED..0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 88000 miles.

CHEVROLET K1500 1997 Safety Review #10171273

CHEVROLET K1500 1997 car safety problem was reported on Aug 15, 2006.CHEVROLET K1500 1997, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP . OVER THE PAST 5 YEARS AND 80,000 MILES OF OWNING THIS VEHICLE THE FUEL PUMP HAS DIED ON ME 5 TIMES. ALL 5 TIMES THE PUMP WAS REPLACED WITH AC DELCO PARTS FROM GM. THE LAST TWO TIMES IT WENT OUT I HAD IT REPLACED BY A CHEVY DEALER IN TAMPA. THE SECOND TO THE LAST FAILURE CAUSED A DOMINO EFFECT THAT ENDED UP BEING VERY COSTLY TO ME. FRAGMENTS FROM THE PUMP TRAVELED TO THE FILTER, SOMEHOW MADE IT PAST THE FILTER AND RUINED THE FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR. FRAGMENTS FROM THAT TRAVELED FURTHER ALONG AND DESTROYED THE THROTTLE BODY METERING VALVE AND ALL 8 FUEL INJECTORS. AFTER HAVING ALL THIS WORK DONE, THE LAST FUEL PUMP ONLY WORKED FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS BEFORE IT WENT OUT AGAIN. THIS TIME IT LUCKILY DID NOT RUIN THE ABOVE MENTIONED ITEMS. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM WITH THE GM PART BEING DEFECTIVE, AND IT'S NOT SOMETHING THE CONSUMER SHOULD HAVE TO PUT UP WITH AS ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. I'VE NEVER LET THE TANK GET BELOW 1/3 FULL BECAUSE I KNOW IT CAN DAMAGE THE PUMP BELOW 1/4 FULL. THE PUMP FAILS WITHOUT WARNING AND HAS CAUSED A DANGER TO MYSELF AS WELL AS OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. *NM.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 159000 miles.
