GP1138 Posted April 6, 2005 Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 Damn, looks like you had a brand new alternator as well - Jeff L. Yeah, and I completely forgot to take it off when I had the car crushed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cutlass1991 Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 So was there a dash pad recall issued? and will they replace the dash for free? I guess it really doesnt matter since i fixed mine already, but if I could get a new one for free, I'm sure I could find a way to quickly un-fix it.

RareGMFan Posted April 13, 2005 Report Share Posted April 13, 2005 The bigger problem is the engine cradle itself. It's great that there's a recall for the bolts, but I'd rather they covered the equally troublesome, and far more dangerous engine cradles. They seem to rust like mad on these cars. One of the mechanics I took my TSTE to recently to look for the power steering fluid leak said he found it, but can't do anything with it because everything was rusted so bad, he was afraid something would break while trying to get to it. :shock: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fargo_182 Posted April 13, 2005 Report Share Posted April 13, 2005 I have a guy who is going to rebulid my cradle or another cradle then put it in my car, if I need it. I'm fonna get it looked at to see if this is my problem. when I crank the wheel to one side the one tire makes like a popping sound, when i crank it then to the other side it makes a popping noise again. when it pops the first time it makes my one tire push out a slight bit so when im going straight, i swurve left and the steering wheel angles with it. when i crank it the other way it goes back to normal. I looked at the condition of my cradle, it is rusted but mostly is surface, all seems solid around the bolts. If I get the cradle rebuilt I am getting that Pr 20(sp?) paint and covering the whole thing in it so it never sees rust again! and alot of other stuff will see the same treatment under there.

streetdreams Posted April 23, 2005 Report Share Posted April 23, 2005 I'm in Toronto, when I worked at pontiac I had it done from a mechanic friend of mine I dont think it would be too easy to walk into a dealer you dont frequent and be like "ya I'm here for the free recall on my 1988??" see mechanics get paid BY gm on warranty and GM dosent pay them squat for these services ie half hour pay for a 2 hour job this repair takes 15 minutes but prolly pays less time than that so no mechanic wants to touch it, they want the good work. sooo its prolly best to have some minor work done at the dealer next time like brakes, ac recharge, struts and alignment and ask for the such and such recall to be done by the time I pick it up. sorry to say but GM isnt gonna recall/warranty a subframe because after 15 years its rusted out, parts rust thats not theyre responsibility they'l say but a design flaw like those subframe retainers well theyre ass is on the line for a dangerous desgin and THATS the only reason they'l flip a penny for a vehicle thats alrerady been sold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5speedz34 Posted April 23, 2005 Report Share Posted April 23, 2005 because after 1991 they had fixed the problem from the factory. When did they fix the problem? And if so what did they do? Also why would GM replace dashpads, those are cosmetic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89GPSE Posted April 25, 2005 Report Share Posted April 25, 2005 When did they fix the problem? And if so what did they do? GM "fixed" it by putting a drain hole in the retainers. what a fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
