Seat Belts
SEAT BELTS WEAR EXCESSIVLY ON DRIVER SIDE OF VEHICLES WITH FRONT BUCKET SEATS.THIS I BELIEVE IS DUE TO SEAT BELT RUBBING AND FRAYING ON THE COVER FOR THE BELT ON THE FLOORBOARDS ...MY VEHICLE HAS OVER 100K MI.BUT THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN THERE FOR AT LEAST 5 YEARS AND POSSIBLY 50 OR 60 K MILES... THE AREA THAT FRAYS IS APPROXIMATELY 5 OR 6 INCHES BEHIND THE RETRACTION STOP ON THE SEAT BELT ...APPEARS ONLY DRIVER SIDE IS AFFECTED. NLM

LAST INCIDENT WAS ON HIGHWAY BLOWOUT ON RIGHT REAR TIRE . WE HAD CHECKED AIR PRESSURE ON TIRES PRIOR TO TRIP AND WERE GOOD. FIRESTONE DEALER HERE IN MCPHERSON WHERE THEY WERE PURCHASED WOULD NOT WARRENTY THE TIRE BUT WOULD GIVE A SMALL DISCOUNT. WE ELECTED TO KEEP THE TIRE AND NOT TAKE THE DISCOUNT. IT'S AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION. WE HAVE OTHER TIRES OF SAME KIND AND TYPE IN WHICH THE STEEL CORDS ARE SHOWING READY TO BLOW SO WE REMOVED THEM ALSO, THEY WERE ON ANOTHER TRUCK OF OURS. WE ALSO HAVE ANOTHER TWO TIRES STILL AT THE DEALER WITH SIMILIAR PROBLEMS , THE DEALER HAS SENT IN A CLAIM TO FIRESTONE ON THEM FROM IN DEC. 2000. LUCKY FOR US WE ARE DOING VERY LITTLE HIGHWAY HIGH SPEED DRIVING. THE LAST BLOWOUT WOULD PROBABLY RESULTED IN A ACCIDENT IF WE HAD BEEN IN TRAFFIC.*AK (DOT NUMBER: VN11818087 TIRESIZE: LT245/75R1)

WHEN VEHICLE WAS OWNED BY OTHER FAMILY MEMBER, VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A "NO PARK" CONDITION. A CRASHED TOOK PLACE, $2700 IN DAMAGE TO OTHER VEHICLE. AT THE TIME WE WERE UN AWARE OF A RECALL THAT WAS OUT THERE FOR THIS CONDITION. WASN'T WE FOUND THIS OUT, WE CONTACTED GMC. THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THAT COULD BE DONE ABOUT IT. WHEN THIS ACCIDENT TOOK PLACE THE VEHICLE HAD LESS THAN 100,000 MILES. THEY WOULD NOT EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL. I WANTED TO CONTACT THE NHTSA TO NOTIFY THEM OF THE CONDITION OF THE TRANSMISSION AND SPEAK TO REPRESENTITIVE. THANK YOU. *AK
