The left mounting bolt, that attaches the high back to the seat, has sheared off three times, recall repairs refused for year and model.
Seat back bolt broke three times, causing seat bottom to sag/seat back to slam into rear window.
The rear spring that keeps the adjusting screw set came out, needs to pump the brake so it wouldn't go to the floor .
On several occasions thebrakes would lock up on passenger's side, causing vehicle to lose control.also, the brake line underneath is too close to exhaust manifold. This condition is causing the brake fluid to heat up and overheat the rotors, causing brake failure. Dealer notified.
Reporting now because i have brake warning lite and no apparent reason for it.first and second failures of iso valve were not loss of brakes, only a squishy feeling.i note a current recall on 91-96 gm units that seems to be related to this problem.need advice on how to attempt recovery of over $500 worth of repairs that i paid for which now appear to be a factory defect and i now have a brake warning lite which may be the same assembly going bad again!.note recall is limited to 91 to 96 units and i am a 90.nevertheless i want to try.dealer has been service has been exceptional. No complaint against them.
Since ownership of the vehicle consumer has experienced brake failure.
Antilock brake warning light illuminated.
Driving on city street at approx 30 mph,stop light changed to red as i approached. Was close to intersection, pressed hard on brake pedal and it started slowing vehicle, then after about .5 seconds, pedal went to floor with minimal braking at that point.did not lose control of vehicle, as speed was low enough that what was left of the hydralic system stopped vehicle. After limping vehicle home (was only 3 blocks from there), inspection under vehicle revealed steel brake line rubbing against frame rail just behind firewall, where line tucks into frame rail, causing weak spot that failed under pressure.repairs not made yet, as incident just occured, will need new steel brake line from abs control to rear axle.can save old part.

Brakes failed 7 times, master cylinder replaced.
Steering wheel had come loose. Took vehicleto dealer who tightened wheel, 1 year later steering wheel loose again.
The serpentine accessory belt started to fail. As it did, parts of it whipped the high pressure power steering hose rupturing the hose. My wife was driving. She needed my help to control the vehicle and pull to the side of the road. The serpentine belt was not totally broken. I had the old belt under the seat so i swapped it for the belt that was failing. With my help, we were able to pull off the interstate highway and make it to a auto parts store to replace the hose. The failure of the power steering hose due to an incomplete failure of the serpentine belt is inexcusable. Gm should be required to shield the power steering hose from a serpentine belt failure. In my experience, serpentine belts do not fail catastrophically. They make noises as they start to fail giving adequate time to safely stop the vehicle. In this case, we heard the noise of the belt failing. Before we could identify the noise as coming from our vehicle and pull to the side of the road, the power steering failed.
Tailgate: when driving down the highway the tailgate just collapsed. Whenclosing the gate it is secure, but when driving it just works itself loose and falls down. Took vehicle in and dealer took it apart, but couldn't find anything wrong withit.
