| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: We took delivery of our new ordered pickup on 3/21/97. from the first day we experieced front wheel lockup and skidding of our front tires, it also pulls very hard to the side that locks up. it seems to lock up one wheel at a time, not both at the same time. this is intermittent and we can not tell when it will happen the next time. we have had it in gootee chevrolets repair shop several times and it has been there for many days, they say they can not find the problem so they will not fix it. my wife is now so scared she doesn't want to drive it anymore. she has had many, many close calls by almost hitting other cars. i have asked the dealership if i can use their scan tool and plug it into to truck so that when it happen it will pick it up, but they would do it. they are telling me they can't find it so i should contact gm. gootee said it's not their ploblem if they can't pick it up on their scan tool while they have our pickup. i have a claim number with gm for this problem that was filed shortly after we bought the pickup, the number is 9801159918. |
