problem #1

Oct 241997

Suburban 4WD

  • miles
Have had a total of 6 complaints dierctly connected with front steering, controlability, poor handling characteristics and 2 instances of total loss of control while driving in a straight line. The vehicle has 2 timwes suddenly swerved to the right while driving straight and the steering wheel does not move. Fortunately, both instances occured while traffic was light andno accident happened. The vehicle is parked at a Chevrolet dealer's yard and Chevrolet motor division has stated that no problem exists and that I should continue to drive. I have refused. Now I have determined to file a complaint with Texas motot vehicle division and pursue the ;lemon law" because Chevrolet has failed to recognize or take any action in an attempt to resolve the problem.
