16. Filed Oct 29, 1999Failure Oct 20, 1999Richmond, MEDoor

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

18. Filed Jul 2, 1999Failure Jun 1, 1999Addison, ILHinge and attachments

    ON JUNE 1, 1999 I NOTICED THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR BOLTS ON THE TOP HINGE BEGINNING TO RUST THROUGH THE BODY OF THE CAR. IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS, THROUGH NORMAL USE OF THE DOOR, THE TOP HINGE COMPLETELY SEPARATED FROM THE BODY OF THE CAR. THIS RESULTED IN THE DOOR BEING SUPPORTED SOLELY BY THE LOWER HINGE, MAKING IT NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO USE. I CONTACTED 2 DIFFERENT CHEVROLET DEALERS AS WELL AS CHEVROLET'S 800 NUMBER FOR SPECIAL CONCERNS. ALL ATTEMPTS TO REPORT THE PROBLEM ENDED WITH NEGATIVE RESULTS. IT IS MY BELIEF THAT THIS IS A DESIGN DEFECT AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. I FINALLY HAD THE VEHICLE REPAIRED BY AN INDEPENDENT BODY SHOP. *AK
