I RECEIVED A NOTICE AT THE BEGINNING OF AUGUST 2114 REGARDING GM RECALL 14299. AT THAT TIME REPLACEMENT PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. IT HAS BEEN 2 MONTHS SINCE I RECEIVED THE NOTICE AND AM NOT REAL HAPPY TO BE PUT IN HARMS WAY WHEN DRIVING ON THE ROADS. PLEASE CONTACT ME A.S.A.P. AND LET ME KNOW WHEN I CAN TAKE THE CAR INTO GOLD RUSH CHEVROLET IN AUBURN, CALIFORNIA. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

FOR YEARS, THE CAR HAS HAD "ELECTRICAL GREMLINS". THERE MIGHT BE TIMES WE DRIVE IT AND NOTHING HAPPENS OUT OF THE ORDINARY EXCEPT THE SES LIGHT IS ON BECAUSE OF THE TOP LISTED PROBLEM, BUT THEN THERE ARE TIMES (MORE TIMES THAN NOT) THAT JUST THE CAR MOVING, SOMETIMES WHEN HITTING A BUMP, SOMETIMES WORSE WHEN RAINING/WET ROADS THAT THE DINGER WILL GO OFF AND THE DASH WILL RESET AND WILL SAY ?SERVICE BRAKE SYSTEM? ALONG WITH A FEW OF THE DASH LIGHTS LIGHTING UP FOR A FEW SECONDS WITH THE MESSAGE. SOMETIMES WHEN IT HAPPENS THEN IT WILL ALSO SAY ?TRACTION CONTROL OFF? WHICH MIGHT SAY IT FOR JUST A FEW SECONDS AND THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES IT SAID IT UNTIL I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT. THERE HAVE ALSO BEEN TIMES THAT THE RED ABS LIGHT HAS STAYED ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH AFTER THIS HAPPENS. SOMETIMES THIS MIGHT HAPPEN ?SERVICE BRAKE SYSTEM? ONLY LIKE ONCE ON AN OUTING, BUT THEN THERE'S TIMES THAT IT CAN OCCUR 5 TIMES IN 20 SECONDS . IT HAS NO SET SCHEDULE. THE PROBLEM WITH IT ALSO, IS THAT IF YOU HAVE THE BRAKES APPLIED WHEN IT DOES THIS, THEN THE BRAKE PEDAL STARTS PULSING AND GOES FURTHER TO THE FLOOR AND THE BRAKING CAPABILITY OF THE CAR IS LESSENED. MY WIFE AND I HAVE HAD A FEW CLOSE ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THIS! AND LIKE USUAL, THE DEALERSHIP HAS TOLD US EVERYTIME WE'VE CALLED THEM THAT IF WE BRING IT IN, THEY CAN DIAGNOSE IT ON OUR DIME BECAUSE OF NO WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH IT WAS DOING IT WHILE UNDER THE WARRANTY PERIOD, WE JUST DIDN'T GET THEM CALLED IN TIME BECAUSE I THOUGHT THE WARRANTY WAS ALREADY OVER BUT IT WASN'T YET. *TR

STEERING KNUCKLE- WAS REPLACED ONCE YEARS AGO UNDER WARRANTY BUT IS NOW STARTING TO MAKE NOISE AGAIN CONSISTENTLY WORSE FOR THE LAST 1-2 YEARS.FOR MONTHS NOW, WE'VE NOTICED THAT OCCASIONALLY THE CAR WILL ACT WEIRD. THE THROTTLE WILL BE LESS RESPONSIVE AND IT WILL ALMOST ACT LIKE IT'S MISSING ON A COUPLE CYLINDERS OR SO, BUT IT HAS NEVER SET A CODE FOR IT. THE SHIFT POINTS ARE RAISED AND YOU HAVE TO DRASTICALLY GIVE IT MORE THROTTLE TO GET THE CAR TO ACCELERATE, BUT WHEN IT DOES, IT KINDA LIKE SURGES AND THEN IT SHIFTS HARDER. ONCE IT IS IN ROAD GEAR AND CRUISING, THE CAR SURGES WHILE AT A CONSTANT SPEED, IT CAN BE FELT THAT THE CAR SURGES AND DOESN'T REMAIN TOTALLY SMOOTH AND CONSISTENT LIKE IT SHOULD. AN ENGINE RESTART USUALLY STOPS IT FOR THAT TIME. WE HAVE THE SAME SPORADIC PROBLEM AND HAVE HAD FOR YEARS ON OUR '98 OLDS EIGHTY-EIGHT WITH A 3800 ENGINE ALSO. BOTH CARS ARE NOW DOING THE EXACT SAME THING OCCASIONALLY, ARE 8 MODEL YEARS APART, BOTH HAVE THE 3800 ENGINE BUT ONE IS A SERIES II ENGINE AND THE OTHER IS A SERIES III. WE JUST NOTICED THE PAST FEW MONTHS THAT THE CAR IS STARTING TO MAKE FRONT END NOISES LIKE THE FRONT STABILIZER BAR IS BROKE, SO I LOOKED AT IT RECENTLY AND NOTICED THAT THE LEFT SIDE OF IT WHERE IT CONNECTS TO THE LOWER CONTROL ARM IS STRESS FRACTURED IN HALF. *TR
