MY FRIENDS WONDER HOW MUCH MORE I CAN TAKE FROM ALL THE FRAUD I HAVE DEALTH WITH AND NOW ITS MY TRUCK

Crash 1 injured

THE TOP HINGE OF THE DRIVERSIDE DOOR IS WORN ALLOWING AIR AND RAIN TO ENTER THE CABIN. THE SMALL PLASTIC SLEEVE IN THE TOP HINGE APPEARS TO BE BROKEN OR WORN EXCESSIVELY.

THE DRIVER'S SEAT HAS NOT BEEN WORKING PROPERLY FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. THE SEAT WILL NOT STAY LOCKED IN PLACE AND THIS HAS CREATED A DANGEROUS SITUATION, ESPECIALLY IN INTERSECTIONS, WHEN THE TRUCK HAS BEEN IN MOTION. NOW THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES, I'VE BEEN ESPECIALLY CAREFUL & PREPARED TO MOVE THE SEAT BACK FORWARD SO I CAN AGAIN REACH THE PEDALS. MY SOLUTION FOR THE TIME BEING - PLACING A WOODEN 2X4 PIECE BEHIND THE SEAT SO IT WILL STAY FIXED. IT'S WORKING, BUT IT IS VERY INCONVENIENT GETTING INTO OR OUT OF THE SEAT. WILL TRY TO REPAIR OR TAKE TO A SHOP IF A RECALL IS NOT MANDATED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 CHEVROLET S10. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE BRAKE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. ALSO, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS OIL LEAKING BETWEEN THE BRAKE HOSE AND FRONT PASSENGER WHEEL. THE TECHNICIAN REPLACED THE WASHER FOR THE BRAKE HOSE, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 99V220000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 131,000.

CENTER-VEHICLE MOUNTED REAR BRAKE LIGHT MELTED ITS PLASTIC HOUSING WHICH MELTED THE WIRING AND MOUNTS USED TO POWER THE TWO LIGHTBULBS IN THE CENTER BRAKE LIGHT, RESULTING IN NO FUNCTIONING CENTER BRAKE LIGHT. THIS ALSO MADE THE INTERIOR LIGHT FALL OUT OF THE ROOF AS IT IS ATTACHED TO THE SAME PLASTIC HOUSING. ONLY APPARENT FIX IS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE OLD MELTED CENTER BRAKE LIGHT HOUSING WITH A NEW ONE. OCCURRED UNDER NORMAL USE WITH MANUFACTURER RECOMMENDED LIGHT BULBS IN USE.

ALTERNATOR FAILED WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING ON A LOCAL HIGHWAY AT 45 MPH. VEHICLE REMAINED OPERATIONAL WITHOUT ANY LIGHTS, SIGNALS, GAUGES OR SPEEDOMETER UNTIL I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AT A TRAFFIC SIGNAL WHERE THE ENGINE MISFIRED AND DIED EVEN WHILE REVVING. VEHICLE WAS LEFT STRANDED AT A 6 LANE INTERSECTION WITHOUT ANY HAZARD WARNING LIGHTS, INDICATORS OR OTHER LIGHTS TO WARN ONCOMING VEHICLES THAT I WAS NOT MOVING RESULTING IN MAY NEAR INCIDENTS.

PARKING BRAKE MECHANISM FAILED UNDER NORMAL USE, WILL NO LONGER ENGAGE PARKING BRAKE. PEDAL CAN BE PUSHED DOWN BUT WILL SPRING BACK AND NOT ENGAGE. UNKNOWN CAUSE.

THE BRAKE LINES BURST WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS AND THE BRAKES FAILED RESULTING IN NO BRAKING POWER. INSPECTION BY A MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE BRAKE LINES HAD SUDDENLY FAILED DURING BRAKING AND THE FLUID HAD DRAINED OUT RESULTING IN AN IMMEDIATE LOSS OF BRAKING POWER DURING MY BRAKING. WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 30 MPH ON A CITY STREET WHEN I STARTED TO BRAKE AND THEY FAILED, WAS ABLE TO STOP WITHOUT INJURY DUE TO MANUAL TRANSMISSION ENGINE BRAKING AND A VERY BAD PARKING BRAKE.

IN 2011 MY HUSBAND WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WHERE A PERSON TURNED IN FRONT OF HIM AS HE WAS DRIVING ABOUT 35 MPH (ACCORDING TO THE POLICE REPORT). HIS AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY AS IT SHOULD HAVE, AND SINCE THAT TIME HE HAS SUFFERED SERIOUS BACK PROBLEMS. I WROTE TO CHEVY CUSTOMER RELATIONS AT THE TIME, AND WAS NEVER GIVEN A SATISFACTORY ANSWER. AFTER MULTIPLE LETTERS AND E-MAILS I FINALLY GAVE UP. SINCE THAT TIME MY HUSBAND HAS HAD TO TAKE TYLENOL WITH CODEINE EVERY SINGLE DAY SIMPLY TO BE ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH DAY-TO-DAY TASKS. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 262,870.

DRIVING NORMALLY, PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND IT WENT TO THE FLOOR; FORTUNATELY, I WAS CLOSE TO HOME AND NO TRAFFIC THAT I MANAGED TO ROLL SLOWLY HOME. RUSTY BRAKE LINES CAUSING BRAKE FLUID TO LEAK BY DRIVER SIDE DOOR. TRIED BRAKES AGAIN- TOTALLY NOT FUNCTIONAL. IRONICALLY READ ARTICLE ABOUT GM'S PROBLEM WITH RUSTY BREAK LINES IN THEIR OLDER MODEL TRUCKS. MAKING IT A POINT TO NOTIFY NHTSA THAT THIS PROBLEM AFFECTS S-10S AS WELL AS THE BIGGER MODELS. CONVERSATIONS WITH FRIENDS INDICATE TO ME THAT THIS EFFECTS A LOT OF DRIVERS. ALL GM TRUCK OWNERS SHOULD BE ALERTED TO PROBLEM. UNDER DIFFERENT CONDITIONS WITH HIGHER SPEEDS OR TRAFFIC OR PEDESTRIANS, THIS COULD HAVE TURNED INTO A CATASTROPHE. *TR

MY COMPLAINT DOES NOT CONCERN MY VEHICLE. IT IS THE INTENSITY OF NEWER HEADLIGHTS AND TAILLIGHTS ON LATE MODEL VEHICLES. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE WITH EXTREMELY BRIGHT LIGHTS SHINING FROM ALL DIRECTIONS. INSTEAD OF LIGHTING AREA THE NEWER LIGHTS SEEM TO BE A FOCUSED BEAM THAT IS BLINDING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 CHEVROLET S10. UPON INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, IT WAS NOTICED THAT THE FRONT FRAME WAS CRACKED AND DETERIORATED TO THE POINT THAT IT MAY FRACTURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT CRACKS DEVELOPED ON THE FRAME AND THE MOTOR MOUNT WAS NOT WELDED TO THE FRAME PROPERLY. THE CRACKING PROGRESSED TO THE POINT THAT THE FRAME WAS ALSO DETERIORATING ON THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRAME SHOULD HAVE BEEN WELDED ALL THE WAY AROUND THE VEHICLE AND IT WAS ONLY WELDED AT THE TOP. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRONT FRAMING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

AT ANY SPEED TRUCK STOPS RUNNING. PULL OVER AND RESTARTS THEN GOES FOR A WHILE AND DOSE IT AGAIN. START TRUCK AND KEY STAYS ON HAVE TO TURN IT BACK BY HAND. REPLACED STARTER ONCE ALREADY IN THREE MONTHS. *TR

2000 CHEVROLET S-10 WHILE DRIVING THE BRAKES JUST GRABBED AND STOPPED THE VEHICLE WHILE ENGINE WAS RUNNING. *MW THE CONSUMER DOES NOT LIKE ABS. THE DEALER STATED IT WAS A SAFETY FEATURE. *JB

APPLIED BRAKES 200+ FEET FROM STOP SIGN. ROAD SURFACE WAS BUMPY. ABS MALFUNCTIONED AND GAVE NO BRAKING. STOPPED VEHICLE WITH HAND BRAKE WITH SLIGHT OVERSHOOT OF STOP LINE. REMOVED FUSE FROM ABS UNIT AND HAVE DRIVEN SINCE WITH MANUAL BRAKING IGNORING DASH WARNING LIGHTS INDICATING THAT ABS WASN'T WORKING. THIS WAS A PROBLEM NOTICED PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT AND OCCURRED ONLY WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED ON BUMPY SURFACES. *TR

CABLE STRAPS THAT HOLD THE TAILGATE HORIZONTAL TO THE GROUND WHEN THE TAILGATE IS IN THE DOWN POSITION HAVE RUSTED THROUGH AND WILL NO LONGER HOLD THE TAILGATE IN THE HORIZONTAL POSITION. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS IN APPROXIMATELY JUNE OF 2006. I RECEIVED A CARD IN THE MAIL, TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO THE CHEVROLET DEALER, AND THEY ADVISED ME THAT PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THIS HAPPENED TWICE. I KIND OF GAVE UP, UNTIL I DISCOVERED THE PART FAILURE EARLIER THIS YEAR. UNFORTUNATELY I HAVE MISPLACED MY CARD THAT THEY SENT IN THE MAIL. UPON FAILURE OF THIS PART, I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN TO A CHEVROLET DEALER IN SEPTEMBER OF 2014. THEY KNEW ABOUT THE RECALL, SO RAN MY VIN # AND SAID MY VEHICLE VIN# WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. PERHAPS GENERAL MOTORS DIDN'T RECALL ENOUGH OF THE VIN#S TO FIND ALL OF THE PART FAILURES. *TR

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM OUR LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER ON 10/04/2014. I FILLED THE FUEL TANK ON 10/06/2014 AND DROVE IT TO MY RESIDENCE (ABOUT 15 MILES.) WHEN I GOT HOME, I NOTICED THERE WAS A STREAK OF A LIQUID ON MY DRIVEWAY WHEN I WAS BACKING INTO MY GARAGE. I GOT OUT OF MY TRUCK AND NOTICED A FUEL SMELL AND GOT A TROUBLE LIGHT TO SEE IF I COULD DETERMINE THE SOURCE. IT WAS RUNNING OUT BELOW THE FUEL TANK. I THEN TOOK MY FLOOR JACK AND JACKED UP THE VEHICLE SO I COULD GET A BUCKET UNDER IT TO CATCH THE FUEL THAT WAS RUNNING ON TO THE FLOOR. I COLLECTED ABOUT 1 1/2 GALLONS. I CALLED THE DEALER THE NEXT MORNING AND THEY SAY I AM OBLIGATED TO PAY TO REPAIR THE TRUCK. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 CHEVROLET S10. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ACTIVATED, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING.

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000. UPDATED 11/20/14*LJ..UPDATED 11/24/14 *BF UPDATED 05/4/02015 *JS UPDATED 08/30/2017*CT

ENGINE FAILURE - HAD TO BE REBUILT AT APP. 75000 MILES - BOTH SIDES OF CAB BOTTOM REAR RUSTED OUT - FIRST TIME BRAKE FAILURE 2013 - PUT BRAKE ON TO PUT THE TRUCK IN DRIVE NO BRAKES FRONT RIGHT - AUG 2014 BRAKE FAILURE - PUT BRAKE ON TO PUT IN DRIVE NO BRAKES. *TR

MY ABS AND EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHTS HAVE BEEN ON EVER SENSE I HAVE BOUGHT THE TRUCK (MID 2014) AND I CAN'T SEEM TO FIGURE OUT WHY. I HAVE READ SEVERAL PLACES THAT SAY THAT SOME OF THE SOLDER POINTS IN THE ABS MODULE HAVE PROBABLY CRACKED AND NEED TO BE REPAIRED IF IT THROWS A CERTAIN CODE (AND MINE DOES). HAVEN'T HAD THE TIME OR MONEY TO FIX THE PROBLEM AS MY TRUCK IS MY DAILY DRIVER. HAVE NOTICED SOME SLIGHT PULSING IN THE BRAKES WHEN STOPPING, BUT NOT ENOUGH TO ANNOY YOU. THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH WILL ANNOY YOU THOUGH. I HAVE ALSO BEEN CHASING SEVERAL VACUUM LEAKS. ONE WAS BY THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER AND ANOTHER (FROM INSIDE THE CAB) SOUNDS LIKE IT'S RIGHT ABOVE THE TRANSMISSION HOUSING AT THE BACK OF THE ENGINE (WHERE YOU CAN'T SEE). IT'S SO BAD THAT WHEN I FIRST START THE ENGINE AND START TO DRIVE AT 1/2 THROTTLE, IT HAS ABSOLUTELY NO POWER, BUT THEN PICKS BACK UP AGAIN AFTER ABOUT A 1/4 MILE WITH NO POWER. BECAUSE OF THE VACUUM LEAK, I'M GUESSING, IT SOUNDS LIKE I HAVE A TURBO ON THE TRUCK FROM INSIDE THE CAB. IF YOU TURN THE RADIO OFF, YOU CAN DEFINITELY HEAR IT. *TR

WHEN THE KEY IS INSERTED INTO KEY HOLE IN STEERING COLUMN, THE KEY HOLDER DOES NOT ALLOW THE KEY TO ROTATE TO START IGNITION. SEVERAL ATTEMPTS ARE REQUIRED TO FINALLY ROTATE THE KEY TO START THE ENGINE. THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURS WHEN I TRY TO STOP THE ENGINE. I TOOK TH VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. I WAS TOLD MY VEHICLE IS NOT AMONG THOSE BEING RECALLED. *TR
