Crash

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

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1995 CHEVROLET S10. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH IN THE RAIN, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS COMPLETELY STOPPED. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 98V150001 (VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER). THE CONTACT HAS TO PURCHASE THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND PULSE MODULE AND REPAIRED IT HIMSELF. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 160,000. UPDATED 10/28/08 *BF UPDATED 10/29/08. *JB

WHILE DRIVING, FAN CAME OFF IN 1995 CHEVROLET BLAZER AND DAMAGE THE RADIATOR. THIS IS SIMILAR TO CAMPAIGN 95V-180. IF HOOD WOULD HAVE BEEN OPEN, THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A HAZARD. *TR

WHILE DRIVING, GASOLINE FUMES CAN BE SMELLED. WE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE A 1995 CHEVROLET BLAZER S10. I KNOW THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL RECALLS FOR THE FUEL SYSTEM/TANK. TRUCK TURNS OFF OCCASIONALLY. BEFORE REALIZING THE RECALLS, I HAVE SENT ALOT OF TIME AND MONEY HAVING MECHANICS LOOK AT IT. SEVERAL BELIEVE IT TO BE A FUEL ISSUE AND THE GAS ODOR IS SAFETY RISK. *TR

STUCK IN 4X4 HIGH CAN'T CHANGE BACK TO 2X4 OR 4X4 LOW. *NM

1995 CHEVROLET S10 DEVELOPED A PROBLEM WITH THE EGR VALVE CLOGGING AS WELL AS PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES.***NO ANSWER REQUIRED***. *MR THE MANUFACTURER FIXED THIS PROBLEM ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO BUT IT HAS FAILED AGAIN. THIS IS THE FOURTH TIME IT HAS FAILED. *NM

FROM WHAT I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO FIND OUT, THERE IS A CARBON BUILD UP IN THE ENGINE, AND WHEN SOME OF THIS CARBON FLAKES OFF IT CAUSES THE EGR VALVE TO STICK OPEN SLIGHTLY. THIS IN TURN CAUSES THE ENGINE IDLE VERY ERRATICALLY AND MOST OF THE TIME CAUSES THE ENGIE TO STALL. THIS ALWAYS OCCURS WHEN SLWOING DOWN AND STOPPING WHICH IS QUITE THE SAFETY HAZARD AS WHEN THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO LOSE POWER AND STALL ALL THE POWER OPTIONS SUCH AS STEERING AND BRAKES ARE ALSO LOST. THIS HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO REAR END PEOPLE NUMEROUS TIMES ESPECIALLY IN SITUATIONS WHEN I HAVE HAD TO STOP QUICKLY. I WAS INFORMED BY MY MECHANIC THAT THIS ACTUALLY A RECALL AND WHENI CONTACTED CHEVROLET THEY SAID IT WAS NOT AN OFFICIAL RECALL BUT IF MY VEHICLE HAD LESS THAN 75,000 MILES ON IT I COULD HAVE THE PROBLEM FIXED. OF COURSE I HAD MORE THAN 75,000 MILES AND SO THEY REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING. OTHER THAN THIS MY TRUCK RUNS GREAT AND I LIKE IT BUT IT WILL COST APPROXIMATELY $700-$1000 TO HAVE THIS FIXED AND IN ALL HONESTY IT IS NOT MY FAULT THAT MY TRUCK DID NOT BREAK UNTIL AFTER THE 75,000 MARK. INSTEAD I AM BEING FORCED TO GET A NEW VEHICLE AND SPEND MONEY I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BECAUSE THE TRUCK IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND THE REAPIRS ARE TO EXPENSIVE IN COMPARISON TO THE ACTUAL VALUE OF THE TRUCK.

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD INTERMITTENTLY BECOME INOPERABLE, OBSTRUCTING THE DRIVER'S VIEW. THE DEALER INDICATED THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE. *AK RECALL#98V150001 *SC

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED OPERATING WHICH CAUSED POOR VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS WITHIN THE REMEDY SCOPE FOR RECALL# 98V150001 BUT WAS OUT OF TIME TO RECEIVE THE REPAIRS. *NLM THE WIPERS WERE INTERMITTENT. *SCC *JB

CHEVROLET S10 1995 PICKUP SEPARATION OF SPARE TIRE FROM VEHICLE. WHILE PERFORMING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE ON VEHICLE IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE SPARE TIRE WAS MISSING FROM THE VEHICLE. THE END OF THE CABLE WHICH SUPPORTS THE TIRE APPEARED TO HAVE BROKEN AND HAD A FRAYED APPEARANCE. THE BAD NEW IS THAT I DO NOT KNOW WHEN THE ACTUAL LOSS OCCURRED OR WHAT DAMAGE/ACCIDENTS MAY HAVE RESULTED FROM THE LOSS OF THE TIRE. THIS IS A BAD DESIGN. THE TRUCK SHOULD HAVE RETENTION BARS TO SUPPORT THE TIRE. ALSO, OTHERS MAY HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM BUT NOT YET HAVE DISCOVERED IT.

MY DAUGTHER AND I WERE DRIVING TO SEE HER GRANDMOTHER AND I NOTICED THE FRONT END OF MY TRUCK RIDING ROUGH. WHEN WE ARRIVED AT HER GRANDMOTHERS I LOOKED AT MY LEFT FRONT TIRE AND NOTICED A BULGE ON THE SIDEWALL THAT WAS APPROXIMATELY 12 INCHES LONG AND THE WIDTH OF THE SIDEWALL. IF THIS TIRE WERE TO BLOW OUT THIS MAY HAVE CAUSED SERIOUS INJURY TO MY DAUGTHER, MYSELF AND MY TRUCK. THESE WERE KUMHO 711 ECTSA. IT LOOKS TO BE THAT THE RUBBER ON THE SIDEWALL SEPERATED. I HAVE LESS THAN TEN THOUSAND MILES ON THESE TIRES. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. THESE TIRES HAVE NOT BEEN ON THE MARKET BUT FOR APPROXIMATELY A YEAR.

THE VEHICLES WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED INTERMITTENTLY AND CAUSED POOR VISIBILITY. THE VEHICLE WAS RECALLED PREVIOUSLY FOR THIS PROBLEM IN 1998. *AK *NLM

CONSUMER STATED THAT THEY ARE STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AFTER THE RECALL ON THE WINDSHIELD WIPER WAS REPAIRED. DEALER NOTIFIED. *PH

VEHICLE HAS A MAJOR GAS LEAK COMING FROM THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK. DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE RUBBER HOSES COMING OUT OF THE FUEL TANK HAVE CORRODED.*AK

FUEL INJECTOR WOULD LEAK FROM THE ENHANCED VORTEX MOTOR AFTER 70,000 MILES. OWNER WOULD SMELL GASOLINE AND THEN THE ENGINE WOULD FLOOD AND STOP. WAS NOT ENOUGH AIR IN THE ENGINE. HAD VEHICLE TOWED. MECHANIC HAD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM. *AK

LEAKING FUEL TANK -- 1995 S-10 THERE IS A PLASTIC COVER OVER THE FRONT END OF THE FUEL TANK. THIS COVER COLLECTS TRASH AND WATER. THE FRONT BOTTOM EDGE OF THE FUEL TANK HAS STARTED TO RUST OUT. I HAD BEEN SMELLING FUEL FOR ABOUT A WEEK AND HAD BEEN UNABLE TO LOCATE THE PROBLEM. AFTER FINALLY NOTICING THE LEAK, I REMOVED THE COVER AND FOUND A SMALL PIN HOLE. WHEN INSPECTING THE HOLE, IT TURNED INTO ONE THE SIZE OF A PENCIL ERASER. TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM, I HAVE DRILLED A HOLE INTO THE PLASTIC PIECE SO THAT IT WILL DRAIN OUT THE WATER THAT IT COLLECTS AND APPLIED A SEALANT TO THE LEAKING FUEL TANK. I HAVE NOT NOTIFIED GM OF THIS PROBLEM AS OF YET. I THINK THAT THEY SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO REPLACE MY FUEL TANK. *NLM

THE CONSUMERS VEHICLE EXPERIENCED SYMPTOMS OF RECALL #98V150000 WHICH WAS RELATED TO THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS. THE DEALER REFUSED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE UNDER RECALL BECAUSE THE VEHICLE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. *NLM
