| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have had rejections for safety inspection stickers anually for a number of consecutive years because the brake light built into this 1991 camaro rear glass is made of heat reactive plastic which melts when the brakes are held for long periods (like traffic jams). the dealer will gladly sell the owner a new one for a considerable sum. but, it is made of the same heat reactive plastic and does not have ventilation to disapate the heat...like the one already on the car. this problem affects any year of this design, surely including the '92's as well. it is not possible to easily determine when the failure occurs. one usually finds out at inspection time or by being ticketed by the police. the inspection worker told me that almost every vehicle like mine fails this one particular inspection requirement due to its design. can the nhtsa investigate and if found valid, require gm to provide a solution for this poor design? many other plastic components in this vehicle suffer a premature failure due to the poor quality. however, this is the only one that adversely affects safety. i can be reached by cell phone as well as the number already provided. the cell phone is (225)907-5911. one other complaint is the windshield wipers. they failed intermittently after the second year. eventually, i replaced the motor with one from a parts store at my expense and cured the problem. have there been other complaints regarding this?*ak |
