“Was pulling a travel trailer when the stock hitch receiver broke off causing me to lose control of my vehicle, causing a death, and multiple injuries to the whole family. Vehicle was totaled.”
NHTSA complaint #10168762, filed 2006-09, 31,663 miles“I have a 2002 Chevrolet suburban. This year I purchased a new travel trailer to be towed by the suburban. After hearing other stories about hitch failure I inspected mine and noticed the welds were cracking. This was after the second trip towing the trailer, and a good thing I checked before our next trip. Any way I called the dealer, even though our warranty has expired, and they said they knew nothing about it, and there was nothing for them to do about it. I ended up buying a new putnam hitch to replace the oem one. I think GM should reimburse me for replacing their faulty part.”
NHTSA complaint #10167729, filed 2006-09, 70,100 miles“Whether it's idling or driving shuts off I replaced the fuel pump and the wiring harnesses that come with the fuel pump and still no avail it's caused a lot of time off of work and a lot of headache I work for a reputable dealership I worked on vehicles for over 40 years”
