Defect. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: LIGHT DUTY PICKUP TRUCKS AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES. SOME OF THESE VEHICLES WERE BUILT WITH INCORRECT PAYLOAD INFORMATION ON THE VEHICLE CERTIFICATION LABEL. THE PAYLOAD SHOWN ON THE LABEL IS GREATER THAN THE MAXIMUM VALIDATED PAYLOAD. IF THE VEHICLE WERE LOADED TO THE INCORRECTLY LABELED PAYLOAD, IT MAY NOT RIDE AND HANDLE IN THE MANNER THAT THE DRIVER EXPECTS.

Risk. THIS COULD RESULT IN A LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE OR AN INABILITY TO STOP THE VEHICLE WITHIN EXPECTED STOPPING DISTANCES.

Remedy. OWNERS WILL BE SENT A NEW LABEL FOR INSTALLATION ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR OF THE VEHICLE.

Defect. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES, LIGHT DUTY TRUCKS, SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, AND MINI VANS EQUIPPED WITH TRW SEAT BELT BUCKLE ASSEMBLIES. THE BUCKLE BASE OF THESE SEAT BELT ASSEMBLIES WERE NOT PROPERLY HEAT TREATED AND THEREFORE DO NOT PASS THE LOAD BEARING REQUIREMENT OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 209, "SEAT BELT ASSEMBLIES."

Risk. IN THE EVENT OF A VEHICLE CRASH, THE OCCUPANT MAY NOT BE PROPERLY RESTRAINED.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE VEHICLE'S SAFETY BELT BUCKLE ASSEMBLY DATE CODES AND, IF NECESSARY, WILL REPLACE ANY SAFETY BELT BUCKLE ASSEMBLY.

Defect. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: LIGHT DUTY PICKUP TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH 4-WHEEL DISC BRAKES. SOME OF THESE VEHICLES HAVE AN ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) MOTOR CONTAINING AN OUT-OF-SPECIFICATION SPRING CLIP. THIS CLIP COULD ALLOW THE MOTOR BEARING TO BECOME MISALIGNED. IF MISALIGNMENT OCCURS, EVENTUALLY THE ABS WOULD BE NON-FUNCTIONAL.

Risk. THE BASE BRAKES WOULD REMAIN FULLY FUNCTIONAL, BUT THE DYNAMIC REAR PROPORTIONING (DRP) SYSTEM, WHICH OPTIMIZES FRONT TO REAR BRAKE BALANCE, WOULD BECOME INOPERATIVE.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE BRAKE PRESSURE MODULE VALVE ASSEMBLY.

Defect. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: S -TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH 2 WHEEL DRIVE. THESE VEHICLES MAY HAVE HAD THE RIGHT-HAND ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) MODULE FEED PIPE AND/OR BRAKE CROSSOVER PIPE TUBE NUTS TIGHTENED WITHOUT SEATING THE PIPE-FLARED-ENDS ENOUGH TO WITHSTAND NORMAL ASSEMBLY AND VEHICLE INPUTS WITHOUT PARTIALLY UNSEATING. THIS DOES NOT COMPLY WITH REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS NO. 105, "HYDRAULIC SERVICE BRAKE NORMAL, EMERGENCY, AND PARK BRAKING PERFORMANCE."

Risk. IF THIS OCCURRED, THE SEATING SEAL COULD BE BROKEN DURING VEHICLE ASSEMBLY, OR FROM EARLY ROAD INPUTS OR BRAKE FLUID CYCLING, AND A LEAK COULD OCCUR INCREASING THE BRAKE STOPPING DISTANCE.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE BRAKE PIPE UNION FOR SIGNS OF BRAKE FLUID, AND IF NECESSARY, INSTALL A NEW BRAKE PIPE UNION.

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 CHEVROLET S10. WHILE DRIVING 26 MPH AROUND AN S CURVE, THE BRAKES PEDAL WAS APPLIED, BUT SEIZED. THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND CRASHED INTO AN EMBANKMENT AND CREEK. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE DRIVER WAS NOT WEARING A SEAT BELT AND SUSTAINED NECK, NOSE, AND EYE INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 230,000.

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.

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.

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 CHEVROLET S10. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH OVER A PATCH OF ICE, THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO A STREET SIGN AND POLE ALONG THE HIGHWAY. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE BACK, NECK, LEFT SHOULDER, AND CHEST, WHICH REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO HER RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 107,000.

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 CHEVROLET S10. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, AN ABNORMAL FUEL ODOR WAS NOTICED FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT NOTICED A LEAK FROM THE FUEL TANK. 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
