I was not told this vehicle was in an accident. failure to fix the axel when under warranty the headlights were bad when vehicle was purchased from the dealer and it also had the wrong inspection sticker. The dealership charged me 10,000 dollars for the vehicle but it was only worth 25.00 plus my trade in. and they plus conned me out of 600.00 dollars extra. Since then I have been threatened by the company if I tell anyone they will shut my car off permanently for harassment now for 9 months. now, I believe I have been frauded and blackmailed. please help me with this serious problem! *Tr

I have a 2000 full size chevrolet 1500 conversion van. The conversion was apparently done by gladiator. The drivers captain seat bracket broke, and repaired in april 2000. It IS broken again. When I turned left the seat and I fell to the right. This created additional stress on the remaining bracket. The repeated failure of this bracket IS of great concern to me as I am not secure in a seat with a broken bracket and in the event of an accident my passengers would have to deal with a potential missle as my seat with me strapped in would undoubtedly fly about the cabin of the van. I am taking it to classic chevy in mentor, ohio tomorrow to learn if they are going to repair the problem at their expense. I have had many vans and have never had to have seat brackets repaired. The car has never been in an accident and I am virtually the only person to drive it. I am of average size and in my mid 50'S. Just so you know that the vehicle has not been abused. *Ak

The front brakes are significantly undersized and are exposed to excessive heat, as a result it IS necessary to replaced the brake pads on an unrealistic schedule, the front pads are changed every 9000 miles (the consumer owns 2 1998 and one 2000). nlm
