Concerning airconditioning system:the a/c was innoperative when i purchased the vehicle and had to be serviced before it was released to my ownership.for each autmn season since i have owned the vehicle, the a/c has failed after the first hard freeze for our area.it has been my suspicion that an o-ring or seal has been defective.this past may when i took it in for a/c service because it would not cool, i had to pay out-of-pocket for the service since the vehicle was off warranty.my complaint is that gm/chevrolet appears to provide defective seals/o-rings/valves for aftermarket repairs.the dealership reported that "chevrolet airconditioners always leak and coolant refill is expected".ha!my second compalaint about this vehicle is its braking system/service.the dealership turned the rotors on this vehicle at 21000 miles.i find that odd because i don't drive in stop/go conditions for the majority of my travels (i live in very rural area).since that servicing my brakes have pulsed under normal braking condidtions, yet the dealer assures my that it is just the abs.??? not likely.if so, it is abnormal in my opinion.

This is only a representative report on one gm vehicle in an effort to draw attention to this serious problem we have had with many gm vehicles in the last year and one-half.we operate about 12 gm vans, pickups, tahoes, suburbans and mini-vans and we have had about 8 fuel pump failures on them, some while still in warranty, and some just out of warranty.we are now starting on the "second round" of replacing fuel pumps on some of the same vehicles we replaced them on several months ago.in the 1995, 1996, 1997 & 1998 vehicles i mentioned, the fuel pumps fail with regularity and create a very dangerous situation if one is on a crowded thorofare or a railroad crossing.we discussed this problem with our gasoline supplier (lion oil co.) and they assured us it was not a fuel problem.the local dealers tried to blame the problem on our fuel supply, but the problem is prevalent with gm dealers throughout the southeast u.s. We were told by lion oil.the fuel pumps are made of cheap plastic materials and probably cost the dealer about $50 but they charge $427 for them to a customer.for gm owners this is a very dangerous driving hazard and unfair financial situation to have to contend with as the fuel pumps go out with no notice and the vehicle comes to a halt.the two dealers i have dealt with will verbally acknowledge that there is in fact a problem with the pumps, but they say their hands are tied until gm issues a recall.how many dollars must be wasted and how many drivers must be endangered before this happens?and will owners like myself be reimbursed for the errors of gm's ways?thank you. No safety defect mentioned.
When the door is pushed shut the door does not shut all the way and comes open when driving. Dealer tried to fix once, the problem still exists.

Rear drive axel always noisy, seal broke 2 times, causing damage to breaks. There is scoring of the drive axle and housing damage. I t has been repaired but i am informed i need a new rear end but that chevrolet does not produce them. Nhtsa reports indicate this is a common problem. I do not want to pay 850.00 to relace my used rear end with a used one that will function just as badly. Where can i get new reliable repair parts from the factory. Do they acknowledge this defect and are they making any compensation. Come on this is a 44,000.00 g-20 mark iii conversion van, i would expect a better drive system than this. Help please.

Door assembly, will not properly adjust, causing a large gap in the bottom of vehicle.
Traveling straight at highway speeds (65mph), on a very smooth highway, a loud pop was heard and my front end driver's side suspension collapsed.i veered left, started to roll, and was righted by a toyota tacoma in the lane to my left.the tacoma proceeded to wrap around the front of my vehicle colliding with a vehicle in the lane to my right.two vehicles were totaled and the driver of the tacoma sustained injuries.the recently installed suspension (moog components, installed by firestone) had twice been inspected by firestone in the previous 6,000 miles.(suspension installed 10,000 miles prior to accident, inspected 6,000 and 3,000 miles prior to accident because i noted to firestone observed excessive tire wear and a suspension clunking noise).the patrolman on scene did not cite me because he observed the otherwise broken suspension was of new, recently installed condition.a lower ball joint failure appears to have been the cause. Given the severity of the accident i requested all failed suspension components be placed in my vehicle.when i arrived to pick up the vehicle i was informed these parts were discarded.two days after i picked up the vehicle i formally requested firestone address a series of suspension concerns i had, one year later, no response on any concern.500 miles after the suspension re-repair, i once again was experiencing a clunking noise and another firestone retail center determined alignment shims were missing, and on replacement the clunking noise disappeared. Firestone has not responded if their could be a connection between shim omission and premature ball joint failure.
