| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Van failed to start--towed to dealership--diesel mechanic changed fuse and put me back on road. next day fuse blows again leaving me with no power steering and no power brakes on a major expressway--van is towed on an undersized tow vehicle to the dealership--we almost didn't make it due to the wheels of the tow vehicle coming off ground when a big truck passed us on the right hand side---could not communicate with tow truck driver--he spoke no english!!! dealership keeps vehicle twenty two hours--calls me to pick up van--on arrival the assistant service manager tells me that cheverlet or general motors technical support has directed them to install two fuses downstream of the main fuse and now they are placing the vehicle back on the road without actually finding the problem!!! as i get in the van and turn the ingnition switch to start--the fuse blows--now they know which leg of the circuit the problem is in---and within minutes find a screw into the wiring harness---they tape up the area and put me back on the road---the van is not running right and the "service engine soon light" comes on---i call the dealership and talk to the main mechanic--he tells me not to worry--"many things can cause that light to come on"---i notice my fuel consumption is extremely high--i go under the van and find this same wiring harness disconnected from two devices--the harness hanging loose out of the supporting straps and open wires outside of the protective plastic raceway in the area of a moving linkage on the transmission---there is some electrical tape wrapped around the exposed wires telling me that someone saw this and just halfassed it--i brought the van on same day --satruday--back to the dealer and spoke to the main mechanic who last worked on the problem--he would not look at it--said bring it back monday for the diesel mechanic to straighten it out--this was in front of the assistant service manager who knew the entire story. no safety defect (s). *ak |
