I have an evenflo car seat and the plastic clip that goes across the straps and slides up across the chest can be undone by the child thus allowing the child to climb out of the seat. This same clip is used on most brands of car seats and when i contacted evenflo about this problem they told me that they had recieved many complants about this but offered no solution. What good are car seats if a child can get out of them? please look into this matter. Thank you.

Consumer states that in an emergency stop, the pedal goes to the floor,resulting in extended stopping distance. The dealer has been notified. They replaced the ecm on the vehicle.
Consumer states husband was driving down road and noticed flames coming from under his hood, stopped and there was fire under the hood.
A broken tab on the fuse box holder, resulting in overhead console door to jam.
My suburban has developed a peculiar problem that has left even the dealerships completely clueless!!!the engine heats up to about 180 f (still less than the mid point on the guage) after a couple of hours of driving -- this is quite normal.if we stop and turn the engine off, the vehicle will not start!we have to wait a couple of hours while the engine cools off to about 160 f, and it starts up just fine.we only noticed this since we were on a long cross country drive.the problem is entirely predictable, and we had to plan on two hour stops during our trip.we even drove straight to a dealership in raleigh after straight 6 hour drives so that they could see and diagnose the problem -- but they were completely stumped.i would like chevrolet to help diagnose and fix this problem.the abs module failed without any prior warning. One moment the breaks were fine, the next we were flooring the break pedal and the abs light was on. The mechanics had to go through several attempts at replacing the unit ($1200 for the unit itself). This problem sounds exactly like the issue investigated in 1992-1995 suburbans. I am surprised that the recall was limited to the lighter suvs only -- a decision based on cost (most probably). It stands to reason that the problem would be more critical in heavier vehicles.
Water pump failed/replaced twice, also thermostat failed/replaced.

The anti-lock brakes failed the first time on a bright sunny dry day , i was unable to bring my suburban to a stop with plenty of distance between me and the vehicle in front of me.i was cited for unassured clear distance since no skid marks or other explanation could be given at the time.we have had several incidents and close calls since the first accident.we have not had the anti-lock system replaced and were unaware that the unit might cause problems until we recently saw the recall which explains perfectly the type of incidents we have had to try to stop the vehicle.we definately want the nhtsa to investigate further to pursue the anti-lock recall on the 1993 suburbans.the transmission failure was just after the warranty period expired.i complained bitterly to gm customer service and all but $350 was covered in the replacement of the original transmission.the failure occurred with the gearshift in the overdrive position.the transmission could not maintain a lock in the overdrive position and would constantly shift back and forth between 3rd and overdrive gear.

Years 1994-1997 have been recalled by gm, but gm won't honor the recall for these 2 years. This is just as much of a safety issue as the 1994-1997.i did talk to a manger by the name of jack cunningham at phone # 866 942 4368 x48470 case # assigned is 1-134580923 and 1-135719603.he advised me on 8-29-2003 that if my vehicles are exhibiting the same problems as the recall, than they will honor the recall on my 2 vehicles. It is covered under a special policy.i called [xxx] at [xxx] 785 266 5151 and he needed to talk to [xxx] to get confirmation the vehicles are covered under the recall.as of today 9-04-2003,neither [xxx] or myself canget a call back from jack.i called the 800 customer service lineat gm and they said the recall is only for the 1994-1997 vehicles.i advised them i talked to [xxx] and they transferred me to his audix again.i feel the recall now needs to be issued for the 1993 and the 1999 vehicles as this is a safety issue.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

Has failed three times, on panic stops
Iwas driving my son to an orthodonic appointment mid morning, good weather conditions. There was red light ahead with two cars stopped. When i braked, my vehicle would not stop, and i hit the car in front of mine, which then hit the vehicle in front of it. It felt like i did not have brakes that functioned properly. It was confusing to me and i guess i blamed it on the pavement. Now the same thing has happened to me husband and i now know there is definatly a brake problem. My husband had unplugged the abs system, on the advice of the chevrolet dealership. We're both concerned about our insurance and would like some help if they try to raise our rates. We're also out insurance deductibles, not to mention all the nights i could not sleep thinking about the accident. Please feel free to call me if you have any questions.maribel kuehl
Abs system engaged when brake pedal was depressed on dry roadway, resulting in no brakes on vehicle and causing collision with vehicle in front of mine.
Anti-lock brakes free wheel when trying to stop going from pavement to slick or washboard road surface.the stopping distance is not reliable.i disconnected the antilock brake system because it wasn't reliable. The dealer could not document the problem because it was intermittent.this is a major defect and nearly caused several accidents before i pulled the abs fuse.chevrolet sent me a video on abs when i reported the problem to them implying that i didn't know how abs worked.i know when abs doesn't work and the car freewheels nearly into the car ahead of you.chevrolet should repair this problem to prevent future catastrophic accidents and injuries.
The abs system on my suburban failed to stop my vehicle in time to avoid a collision with the vehicle in front of me making a right hand turn. I was not speeding and the weather conditions were great. I also had plenty of space between both vehicles. I braked, the abs system took over, and my vehicle would not stop. I simply ran right into the back of the vehicle in front of me. I was aware that something was wrong and complained to the dealership and my insurance company about not being able to stop. I did not occur to me to file a complaint with the govenment until now. I am concerned about my insurance coverage going up or even being cancelled. My wife had the same thing happen to her 12/1/98. Exactly the same problem and i will file another complaint on her accident. Please send me any documentation i'll need to prove my case. Also, when my vehicle was being repaired in june, even the chevy people advised me to unplug the abs system. They all told me that even they had unplugged theirs. That should tell you something right there about their abs system. And i'm out $1000.00 in insurance deductibles too. Your help is greatly appreciated. Sincerely,scott a. Kuehl

I was traveling at a low rate of speed(30 mph), on dry pavement, and was confronted with a line of vehicles that came to an abrupt stop.i engaged the abs brake systen on my 1993 suburban only to continue forward and contact the vehicle in front of me.this abs brake system, based on my experience, is marginal to poor at best relative to response and pedeal feel.regards,paul j. Leeser
During slow speed stop, brakes were applied with no effect. Accident occurred. This has happened on at least 5 occasions, although this is the first resulting in an accident. Reported to dealer the first time it happened and i was told it was a driver mistake.

Came up to a intersection apply the abs brake failed and went thourgh intsection no crash no one was injured .
Brakes applied, abs seemed to start working, then a 'release' seemed to happen that caused vehicle to require much longer stopping distance. They seemed to 'release' and even though standing on the brakes the vehicle took much too long to stop. Abs was disconnected 1.5 years ago because of this being very unsafe. Dealer had no idea what was wrong and no fix. We felt very unsafe as it was and it happened many times. Could not make it happen to show dealer. They seemed unaware of the problem.
Vehicle is loosing brake fluid. At 31 thousand miles the vehicle has no wear on the front brakes.
On two instances, the brake pedal went to floor and braking ability was lost for five to ten seconds.other instances the brakes seized up, rendering them useless.

This is my second submission of a complaint. The first one was odi id 522933. I resubmit because i am intensly frustrated with the apparent lack of action on the part of gm regarding my year vehicle. On 7/21/99, a large gmc recall was announced pertaining to abs problems. My year suburban was excluded pending further investigation. Gm stated they were working to address customer satisfaction issues with my year vehicle. They have done nothing with me along these lines. My vehicle continues to experience many of the same symptoms that are described in your current complaint submissions for 1993 suburbans. What is being done?? this is a very serious situation. Is gm just waiting until the 92 thru 94s just rot away and are no longer a problem. My vehicle is in excellent shape for 187,000 and i intended to drive it for several more years but the anxiety is getting the best of me. Who else can i write or call? this is serious. Please contact me on my day number - 512 868 0374.

The problem with the abs brakes is ongoing, there is no fix. When going down a slight incline on the road, and if the road has some slite ribbing or wash board effect, the brakes fail completely if used in a panic stop situation, even if one continues to push the brake pedal as instructed with abs. Also medium ie 50 mph panic stops also have the same effect. The problem seems to be a long hesatation before the abs starts its cycle of braking, and any road irregularities or road sand increases this hesitation before the abs starts its braking cycle. It should be noted that the master cylinder was changed early in 1993 to no avail. It would appear to be a software problem in the abs logic controller.

Front brakes failed-brakes would not release-(consumer has abs brakes) no injuries was sustained.
Over the entire time that we have owned this vehicle, the brakes and the abs system have not operated reliably. Whenever the vehicle is being driven on an irregular or wet street (even at low speeds, below 30mph), and the brakes are applied, the brake pedal will go to the floor and all braking effect vanishes momentarily. This definitely involves the abs system, because there is the characteristic vibration of the pedal when the system is activated.abs activation during these episodes is inappropriate, ineffective, and dangerous to the occupants of the vehicle.

The problem with the abs brakes is ongoing, there is no fix. When going down a slight incline on the road, and if the road has some slite ribbing or wash board effect, the brakes fail completely if used in a panic stop situation, even if one continues to push the brake pedal as instructed with abs. Also medium ie 50 mph panic stops also have the same effect. The problem seems to be a long hesatation before the abs starts its cycle of braking, and any road irregularities or road sand increases this hesitation before the abs starts its braking cycle. It should be noted that the master cylinder was changed early in 1993 to no avail. It would appear to be a software problem in the abs logic controller.

The first tire started losing big chunks of thread while driving on the freeway at 75mph.there was very little damage to the bottom of my vehicle at that time, and that's why i decided not to file a claim when i had the tire replaced.the second tire started making strange noises while driving in the city at 40 mph.i went back to discount tire where i had bought the four tires to have it inspected.i was told that the thread was separating from the inside out.the tire was replaced at that moment.the third tire blew up while driving on the same freeway at 75 mph.my wife was able to control the vehicle, avoiding an major accident.

My suburban has developed a peculiar problem that has left even the dealerships completely clueless!!!the engine heats up to about 180 f (still less than the mid point on the guage) after a couple of hours of driving -- this is quite normal.if we stop and turn the engine off, the vehicle will not start!we have to wait a couple of hours while the engine cools off to about 160 f, and it starts up just fine.we only noticed this since we were on a long cross country drive.the problem is entirely predictable, and we had to plan on two hour stops during our trip.we even drove straight to a dealership in raleigh after straight 6 hour drives so that they could see and diagnose the problem -- but they were completely stumped.i would like chevrolet to help diagnose and fix this problem.the abs module failed without any prior warning. One moment the breaks were fine, the next we were flooring the break pedal and the abs light was on. The mechanics had to go through several attempts at replacing the unit ($1200 for the unit itself). This problem sounds exactly like the issue investigated in 1992-1995 suburbans. I am surprised that the recall was limited to the lighter suvs only -- a decision based on cost (most probably). It stands to reason that the problem would be more critical in heavier vehicles.
