On April 25, 2005 General Motors reported to
the federal government’s Safety Recall “department” that
it would recall more than two million vehicles, including
almost 1.5 million SUV’s and pick-up trucks with seat
belt problems. The company said “some” injuries
have been reported. There appear to be at least six separate
recalls and you may have been notified already, or you may
be soon.
The SUV’s and pick-up trucks are from
the 2003, 2004, and 2005 model years and include the Chevrolet
Silverado Crew Cab, Suburban, Tahoe, and Avalanche. Also
included are the Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade
EXT, GMC Sierra Crew Cab, Yukon XL and Yukon models. Even
the Hummer H2 is in on the recalls.
The seat belt recalls have to do with misplacement
of the belt system which can cause injuries in the event
of a crash.
Among the vehicles and potential defects on
GM’s recall list:
330,000 Chevrolet
Suburban 1500 Series and the Yukon XL model, from the 2000
through 2001 model years, for potential overheating of
fuel pump wires that could lead to engine stalling or crash
and injuries.
142,000 Chevrolet
Silverado 1500 Series and GMC Sierra pick-up trucks, 1999
through 2002 model years, and the 2500 Series pick-up trucks
and the 3500 Series pick-up trucks from the 2001 through
2004 model years, with manual transmission. Apparent problems
deal with the parking brake systems and have resulted in
at least 26 crashes.
69,000 Buick
Lacrosse and Buick Allure 2005 models were manufactured
in Canada, apparently for US sale, with a bent clip that
holds part of the brake system. The problem is, if the
brake clip comes off, it can lead to loss of the brakes
and a crash. Apparently this problem was discovered during
an investigation of just such a crash.
39,000 Buick
Rendezvous and Pontica Azteks from the 2004 model year
have been recalled for stalling and failure to start because
of a problem in the ignition relay system. This problem
was also apparently discovered during another investigation
of a crash.
22,000 Saturn
L Series Wagons from the 2002 through 2004 model year lines
have been recalled because some of the seat belt anchors
are not up to Federal Safety Standards.
Once again, GM seems to be proving that if
you build enough cars and trucks you get to recall as many
of them as you like.
When the safety of yourself or your family
is at stake, don’t go it alone. The professionals at
Burdge Law Office know how to use the Lemon Law to make GM
buy back your lemon or replace it.
