1995 Chevrolet C1500

THE INNER DOOR HANDLE BROKE WITHOUT WARNING AND THE OUTER HANDLE WOULD NOT RELEASE THE OPENING/CLOSING MECHANISM. AS A RESULT THE CONSUMER HAD TO CRAWL OVER THE CENTER CONSOLE AND EXIT THROUGH THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR. THE WAS THE SECOND HANDLE THAT HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE DOOR HANDLE IS MADE OF POT METAL WHICH BREAKS INSIDE THE DOOR PANEL. *JB *NM

WITHIN THE FIRST FEW MONTHS OF OWNING MY TRUCK I NOTICED THE FRAME WAS BENDING AND CAVING INTO MY CAB I NOTIFIED DEALER AND HAD BEEN INFORMED MY FRAME WAS BROKE, SO DEALER TOOK FULL RESPONSIBILITY OF THE REPAIR BILL. ABOUT 8 MONTHS AFTER THAT IS WHEN I BEGAN TO NOTICE THE SAME PROBLEM BUT THIS TIME THE PROBLEM WAS GETTING WORSE REAL FAST AND BEFORE I REALIZED IT WAS EFFECTING THE PROTECTIVE OUTER LINER OF THE GAS TANK, SO NOW NOT ONLY IM I CONCERED ABOUT MY FAMILYS SAFETY BUT OTHERS AS WELL. THIS TIME I MADE DEALER AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND HE TOOK THE TRUCK TO ONE OF HIS OWN SHOPS AND THEY TOLD HIM THE FRAME WAS NOT REPAIRABLE IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ALL TOGETHER. MEANWHILE I WAS REVIEWING MY CONTRACT AND CAME ACROSS MY VIN NUMBER AND NUMBER OF CYCLINDERS IS IN CORRECT AND I ALSO PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT WAS NEVER VALID BECAUSE THIS VEHICLE HAD PRIOR ALTERATIONS DONE TO IT BY DEALERSHIP.*AK

PURCHASED 1995 CHEVROLET FULL SIZE TRUCK FROM VALLEY AUTO CENTER IN 1998 SINCE DATE OF PURCHASE THE FRAME HAS BROKE 2 TIMES IN THE SAME PLACE. THE FIRST REPAIR WAS DONE 1 YEAR AFTER PURCHASE, APPREARANTELY INSTEAD OF REPAIRING THEY DID MORE DAMAGE BY WELDING ON A PREHEATED THAT WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE WELDED ON IN THE FIRST PLACE. DO TO THE WELDING AND POOR JUDGEMENT HERE I AM 6 MONTHS LATER WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THE FRAME IS NOW COMPLETELY BROKE AND CAVING IN AND RUBBING AGAINST THE CAB, ASSOCIATED WITH THIS OTHER PROBLEMS HAVE ACCUMALATED SUCH AS GAS TANK DAMAGE, CROSS MEMBER,DRIVE SHAFT, SUSPENSION FRONT AND REAR, AND VEHICLE SHAKES UNCONTROLLABILY WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKE PEDAL. IVE TAKEN THIS VEHICLE DOWN TO SEVERAL REPAIR SHOPS ALONG WITH THE ORIGINAL ONE WHO REPAIRED IT IN THE BEGINING AND APPREARANTLY THIS PROBLEM IS NOT REPAIRABLE THE WHOLE FRAME MUST BE REPLACED AND BECAUSE OF LIABILTY PURPOSES THEY DO NOT WANT TO TOUCH THE VEHICLE. I CONTINUE TO RECEIVE THE RUN AROUND FROM THE DEALER, AND I FELL THIS IS NOT A SAFE OR LEGAL VEHICLE TO HAVE ON THE ROAD NOT ONLY FOR MYSELF AND MY TWO SMALL CHILDREN SAFETY BUT FOR OTHERS ASWELL.
