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.

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.

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

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

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

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

I KNOW IT IS A GAS PROBLEM GETTING TO THE CARBURETOR SINCE I HAVE SPLASHED A LITTLE GAS OR STARTING FLUID IN THE CARBURETOR TO SEE IF THE ENGINE WILL FIRE UP. THE ENGINE DOES START BUT SHUTS DOWN BECAUSE OF A LACK OF FUEL TO KEEP IT RUNNING. I HAVE REPLACE FUEL FILTER 2 TIMES, MAP SENSOR AND HAVE RECENTLY READ THAT GM USED A SOCK STRAINER ON THE FUEL PUMP THAT TENDS TO GET CLOGGED UP. I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT GM HAS RESOLVED THIS PROBLEM WITH A DIFFERENT STYLE OF STRAINER. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS SINCE THE LAST TIME MY ENGINE FAILED I WAS DRIVING ON A BUSY CLEVELAND, OHIO INTERSTATE (I-77 BY PERSHING AVE EXIT RAMP). I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO TURN THE ENGINE OVER. I HAVE SEEN CARS ON THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE GET HIT AND CONCERNED FOR MY OWN SAFETY AND HEALTH IF THIS SHOULD OCCUR AGAIN. I BELIEVE SINCE GM HAS AND HAS KNOWLEDGE OF THIS DEFECT ON THEIR PART THAT THEY SHOULD RECALL ALL VEHICLES THAT USE OR USED THIS TYPE OF STRAINER ON THE FUEL PUMP UNIT. IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS IRRESPONSIBLE ACTION ON GM TO HAVETHE VEHICLES THAT ARE ON THE ROAD WITH THE PROBLEM FUEL PUMP STAINER. *TR
