2000 Chevrolet S10 complaints

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED AFTER PURCHASING A USED VEHICLE THAT ALREADY HAD THE ABS LIGHT ILLUMINATED, THE ABS ENGAGED AT SPEEDS OF 10MPH OR LESS. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY THE DEALER. THE ENTIRE ABS CONTROL MODULE WAS REPLACED. AFTERWARDS THE PROBLEM CONTINUED, BUT NO FURTHER REPAIRS WERE MADE.

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH, TRANSMISSION ABRUPTLY DROPPED OUT OF OVERDRIVE INTO 3RD GEAR, CAUSING VEHICLE TO LURCH VIOLENTLY. VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO TRANSMISSION SHOP IN 3RD GEAR FOR DIAGNOSIS, WHICH LED TO $1,806 REPAIR BILL, APPARENTLY DUE TO A KNOWN VALVE BODY ISSUE. *JB

SEAT RECLINING LEVERS HAVE BROKEN ON BOTH SIDES. INTERNET SEARCHES HAVE REVEALED TO ME HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS. CHEVROLET STATED NO RECALLS.*AK

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED FOUR YEARS AGO, THE TAILGATE CABLES BROKE WHEN OPENING THE TAILGATE. THERE IS A NHTSA RECALL, # 04V129000, REGARDING THE TAILGATE CABLES ON LARGER MODEL TRUCKS. THE VEHICLE HAS THE SAME PROBLEMS AS INDICATED IN THE RECALL; HOWEVER, IT IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DUE TO THE VIN. *NM

MY FAMILY AND I WERE PACKING TO GO CAMPING AND WHILE LOADING THE BED OF MY S-10 PICKUP I PLACED A 40 POUND TENT ON THE TAILGATE AND WHEN I TURNED AROUND I HEARD A LOAD CLUNK AND BOTH TAILGATE CABLES BROKE. AFTER I PICKED UP THE TENT FROM THE GROUND AND LIFTED THE TAILGATE I NOTICED THAT WHEN THE TAILGATE FELL IT FELL ON THE REAR BUMPER AND DENTED IT ALL THE WAY ACROSS. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO MY DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER A RECALL EVEN THOUGH THE FULL-SIZE PICKUPS DO HAVE A RECALL ON THIS ITEM. I REPLACED THE CABLES AT MY OWN COST AND IT WAS NOT CHEAP OR EASY. I ALSO PAID TO HAVE MY TAILGATE REPAIRED FOR $500. *NM

2000 CHEVY S-10 LEFT FRONT WHEEL SEPARATED FROM VEHICLE. *TS THE TIRE STRUCK THE FENDER AS IT CAME OFF. THE VEHICLE SLID TO A STOP ON IT'S UNDERCARRIAGE/SUSPENSION. THE WHEELS HAD BEEN PUT ON THE VEHICLE TWO DAYS PRIOR TO THIS ACCIDENT AND HAD ONLY BEEN DRIVEN ABOUT 60 MILES. ONLY ONE LUG NUT WAS FOUND. *NM

I STEPPED UP ONTO THE TAILGATE OF MY 2000 CHEVROLET S-10 ZR2 AND BOTH CABLES SNAPPED IN THE MIDDLE. I ONLY WEIGH 150 LBS AND THEY SHOULD HAVE NOT SNAPPED LIKE THEY DID. WHEN I LOOKED AT THE BROKEN CABLES, I FOUND THAT THEY WERE RUSTED ON THE INSIDE AND THAT IS WHAT CAUSED THEM TO FAIL. LUCKILY THE TAILGATE WAS NOT DAMAGED WHEN IT BROKE WHEN IT HIT THE BUMPER. *JB

THE TAILGATE SUPPORTS (CABLES GOING FROM THE TRUCK BED TO THE TAILGATE) GOT PINCHED BETWEEN THE BED AND TAILGATE CAUSING THEM TO CORRODE AND EVENTUALLY BREAK WHEN WEIGHT IS PUT ON THEM. ONE OF THESE CABLES BROKE WHILE AN 80 POUND BOY WAS SITTING ON THE TAIL GATE. THE CABLES HAVE NOT BEEN REPLACED AND ARE AVAILABLE.*JB

TAILGATE CABLES ON 2000 CHEVROLET S10 BROKE THE TAILGATE DROPPED DOWN CAUSING TWO PEOPLE TO FALL OFF. CALLED CHEVROLET DEALER AND WAS TOLD THERE IS NO RECALL ON THE CABLES FOR THE S10 AND WOULD COST $40.00 PLUS TO REPLACE THEM. WE HAVE THE BROKEN CABLES. *JB

DT: WHILE DRIVING AT A LOW SPEED, ABOUT 5 MPH, OWNER WENT TO A FAST FOOD LINE AND PUSHED THE BRAKES AND THE PEDAL WAS STIFF. THERE WAS A PULSATION IN THE BRAKES, AND EXTENDED STOPPING WAS REQUIRED. OWNER HAD TO PULL OUT OF LINE TO KEEP VEHICLE FROM HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT. THE OWNER THEN PUSHED THE BRAKES, AND THEY WORKED JUST FINE. THE PROBLEM ONLY OCCURRED WHEN THE OWNER WAS GOING AT SLOW SPEEDS. THE PROBLEM HAPPENED IN ALL WEATHER AND ROAD CONDITIONS. THE OWNER WAS AWARE THAT THERE WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE ABS SENSOR, AND WAS WONDERING WHEN THE RECALL WILL TAKE PLACE. *AK *NM

DT: CONTACT STATED THE BRAKES ON VEHICLE WERE DEFECTIVE. THE REAR CALIPER SEAL WAS RIPPED BY RUST, AND THE FRONT BRAKE PADS WERE FROZEN IN THE CALIPER. THE FLUID RAN OUT OF THE BACK BRAKES. THE CONTACT FIRST NOTICED THIS IN THE SPRING, AND HE HAD TO PUT ON NEW BRAKE PADS. THE CONTACT WANTED TO REPORT THIS BECAUSE HE DID NOT WANT ANYONE TO GET HURT. *AK *NM

2000 S-10 TAILGATE CABLE/LATCH ASSEMBLY FAILURE. *NM

ON 2 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS WITHIN THE PAST MONTH, THE 4WD HAS ENGAGED WHILE DRIVING. THE TRUCK SOUNDED AS IF THE TRUCK WAS RUNNING IN 4 WD WHILE ON BARE ROADS. THIS OCCURRED DURING NORMAL WEATHER AND DRIVING CONDITIONS--ONCE WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 30 MPH GETTING OFF AN INTERSTATE RAMP AND THE OTHER AT 55 MPH ON A MAIN ROAD. AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, PUTTING THE TRUCK INTO 4WD, THEN INTO 2WD AND BACKING UP, THE 4WD DISENGAGED AND RAN NORMALLY. GM HAS RECOMMENDED TAKING IT TO A DEALERSHIP. *JB

IN NORMAL USE, ONE OF MY 2000 S 10 TAILGATE SUPPORT CABLES BROKE IN TWO. A RECALL WAS IMPLEMENTED FOR 1/2 TON TRUCKS WITH THE SAME GALVANIZED WIRE CABLES THAT THESE S 10'S HAVE. AFTER INSPECTION OF THE UNIT I DETERMINED THAT THE CABLE WAS ROTTED. THIS JUST HAPPENED SO I HAVE NOT CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. *NM

BOTH TAILGATE CABLES SNAPPED IN HALF WHEN I SAT ON THE TAILGATE OF MY 2000 CHEVROLET S10 PICKUP TRUCK. THE MULTI STRANDED CABLES HAD RUSTED IN TWO. THERE WAS EVIDENCE THAT MOST OF THE STRANDS IN THE CABLE HAD PREVIOUSLY RUSTED IN TWO PRIOR TO THE TOTAL FAILURE. *NM

DT: THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE DEALER HAS HAD IT TWICE AND COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THIS WAS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. THIS HAPPENED FOR ABOUT A MONTH AND WAS INTERMITTENT. IT STARTED ON AUGUST 1, 2005. NO WARNING GIVEN, IT JUST QUIT. THE DEALER REPLACED THE FUEL FILTER AND THE FUEL PUMP.*AK

(1) DRIVING ON A DRY, SUNNY, SUMMER DAY. I WAS BRAKING FOR A STOP SIGN. (2) ABS KICKED IN UNEXPECTEDLY WHEN VEHICLE SLOWED TO SOMEWHERE BELOW 10 MPH. THIS HAD HAPPENED BEFORE, BUT THIS TIME IT NEARLY PREVENTED THE VEHICLE FROM COMING TO A STOP. ALMOST CAUSED ME TO ENTER A BUSY INTERSECTION WITH CROSS TRAFFIC APPROACHING. (3) ABS WAS DISABLED BY REMOVING THE APPROPRIATE FUSE. NO FURTHER ACTION TAKEN. HOWEVER I RECENTLY NOTICED THE SIMILARITY BETWEEN THIS INCIDENT AND THE SYMPTOMS DESCRIBED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER : 05V379000 FOR FULL-SIZE CHEVY TRUCKS. *NM

TAILGATE CABLE BROKE. *NM

MY TAILGATE SUPPORTS BOTH SNAPPED AT THE SAME TIME MY SON WAS CRAWLING OUT OF THE BACK OF THE TRUCK AND TUMBLED TO THE GROUND. ALSO SHORTLY AFTER I PURCHASED THE TRUCK IN 2001 BOTH SIDES OF MY SEATS THE RECLINER KNOBS BOTH BROKE. I ALSO HAVE TRIED SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO TURN MY AIR BAGS OFF ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND THEY WON'T GO OFF. *JB

BOTH TAILGATE CABLES ON MY 2000 CHEVY S10 HAVE BROKEN. *JB

WHILE MAKING A FULL STOP ON OCCASION , AND THEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE, I HAVE HAD NO POWER AS IF IT IS FUEL STARVATION. HAVE REPLACED THE FUEL FILTER WHICH IS OVER PRICED FOR THE SECOND TIME. UPON INSPECTION OF THE FUEL FILTER, A BLACK SUBSTANCE SEEMS TO BE BLOCKING THE FUEL FILTER FOR NO APPARENT REASON. IT MUST BE COMING FROM THE FUEL TANK OR A FUEL LINE. AFTER RECENTLY REPLACING THE FILTER AND MAKING A QUICK STOP AND BACKING RAPIDLY, I EXPERIENCE THE SAME POWER FAILURE. TURNING OFF THE TRUCK AND RESTARTING SEEMS TO HELP MOMENTARILY. *NM

BOTH OF MY 2000 CHEVY S-10 PICK-UP TAILGATE CABLES HAVE CORRODED AND SNAPPED.

T: THE CONTACT STATED BOTH TAIL GATE CABLES SNAPPED WHILE UNLOADING ITEMS FROM THE VEHICLE. THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL FOR A FULL SIZE TRUCK, BUT NOT FOR THE S-10 PICKUP TRUCK. CONSUMER DID NOT HAVE THE RECALL NUMBER. THE SERVICE DEALER DID NOT STATE WHY THE CABLES SNAPPED. BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER THE RECALL AND WAS NO LONGER UNDER THE WARRANTY. CONSUMER REPLACED BOTH CABLES AND THE BOLT. THE BOLTS KEPT COMING OUT BECAUSE CONSUMER DID NOT REPLACE THE COMPONENTS CORRECTLY. *AK

SEAT BACK RECLINE HANDLE BREAKS OFF CAUSING SEAT BACK NOT TO STAY IN PLACE, OR NOT ABLE TO ADJUST

DT: THE TAILGATE SUPPORT CABLES BROKE ON TWO OF CONSUMERS VEHICLES. THE RECALL ISSUED WAS ON BIGGER TRUCKS . WITHOUT WARNING THE CABLES BROKE. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER SECOND TRUCK IS A 2001 CHEVROLET S10 CREW CAB VIN #[XXX]. *AK ALL OF THE CABLES FAILED IN THE SAME FASHION. THE CABLE RUSTED INSIDE OF THE BLACK PLASTIC COATING WHERE THE CABLE BENDS AS THE TAILGATE WAS CLOSED. *SC *JB INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

DT: THE TAILGATE STRAPS ARE BROKEN. *AK *JB

2000 CHEVROLET S-10 PICKUP BOTH TAILGATE CABLES FAILED SIMULTANEOUSLY DROPPING THE LOAD AND POTENTILLY INJURING A PERSON, WHO FORTUNATELY LANDED WELL AND SEEMED UNHARMED. BOTH CABLES HAD RUSTED THROUGH, APPEARED TO BE POOLY GALVANIZED AND EXPOSED TO MOISTURE EVEN INSIDE THE RUBBER COATING.

2000 S-10 PICKUP TRUCK. BOTH TAIL GATE CABLES BROKE AT THE SAME TIME. DEALER SAID THE SELL AT LEAST ON PAIR A MONTH. TO REPLACE THE STRAP, YOU MUST REPLACE THE LATCH ALSO. THEY ARE SOLD AS RIGHT AND LEFT HAND PARTS. COST WAS $105.00 FOR THE PAIR. TIME TO REPLACE WAS APPROX. ONE AND A HALF HOURS.

BROKEN TAILGATE SUPPORT CABLES RUSTED THROUGH RECALL ON OTHER MODELS BESIDES THE S-10

I HAVE A 2000 S-10 PICKUP THAT I PURCHASED NEW IN OCTOBER 2000. BOTH OF THE TAILGATE SUPPORT CABLES HAVE RUSTED AND BROKEN IN HALF. THE FIRST ONE BROKE AS I WAS STEPPING DOWN FROM THE BED. BUT LUCKILY, THE OTHER HELD AT THAT TIME AND NO INJURIES HAPPENED. BUT THE SECOND ONE SOON BROKE.

I OWN A 2000 CHEV S-10 ZR2 TRUCK. MY COMPLAINT IS REGUARDING THE TAIL GATE CABLES. I HAVE A 110LB ROTTWIELLER WHO WAS STANDING IN IN BOX OF THE TRUCK WITH HIS FRONT FEET ON THE TAIL GATE WHEN THE CABLES BROKE. THE DOG CAME OUT OK, THE TAIL GATE WAS DAMAGED. WHEN I CHECKED WITH GM CANADA I WAS TOLD THE RECALL WAS ONLY FOR THE FULL SIZE TRUCKS AND TO DATE THERE WERE NO OTHER CASES OF THESE CABLES BREAKING ON S-10 OR SONOMA TRUCKS. I HATE BEING LIED TO...I HAVE FOUND HUNDREDS MAYBE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ON VARIOUS FORUMS. PLEASE DON'T LET UP ON GM. TO REPLACE THESE PARTS I'M LOOKING AT $170. PLUS LABOUR. THANKS TO GM ENGINEERING THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY MUST BE PURCHASED, NOT JUST THE CABLES.

TAILGATE SUPPORT CABLES ON 2000 CHEVY S-10 BROKE WHILE SITTING ON TAILGATE. I ONLY WEIGH 180 LBS AND THEY BOTH BROKE.

SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT, TRANSMISSION FAILURE, TANSMISSION SLIPPING, TORQUE CONVERTER BURNED UP, ONLY 67,000 MILES ON TRUCK DRIVEN EASY, NO LOADS/TOWING CODE P1870, TRUCK TRANSMISSION BEING REBUILT, VERY COSTLY THIS IS BS

TAILGATE CABLE ON MODEL YEAR 2000 S-10 PICKUP TRUCK BROKE

DT: CALLER SAID TAILGATE CABLE BROKE WITHOUT WARNING. CALLER SAID A RECALL WAS ISSUED ON THE BIGGER TRUCKS BUT NOT ON THIS ONE. DEALER SAID CALLER WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR REPAIRS. MANUFACTURER TOLD CALLER TO KEEP RECEIPTS. CALLER FELT MANUFACTURER SHOULD TELL PUBLIC OF PROBLEMS SO THEY CAN BE MORE INFORMED.*AK

2000 CHEVY S-10 [XXX] BOTH TAILGATE SUPPORT CABLES BROKE WHEN THE TAILGATE WAS LOWERED. THE DEALER SAYS THAT THIS VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE EXISTING RECALL FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

DT: CONSUMER TURNED TO GO UP HILL AND VEHICLE DIDN'T STALL, BUT WANTED TO, AS IF IT DID NOT GET ENOUGH FUEL. THIS HAPPENED TWICE. CONSUMER SAYS THAT WHEN SHE APPLIED BRAKE, THE VEHICLE REVVED AND ACTED AS IF REGAINING POWER BACK THEN ACCELERATED QUICKLY. THIS HAPPENED ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO. CONSUMER SHUT VEHICLE OFF, AND WHEN STARTED BACK IT WAS FINE. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO GET ON FREEWAY PARKWAY WEST 279 IN GREENTREE, VEHICLE ACCELERATED WHEN CONSUMER APPLIED BRAKE, HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE IN THE REAR. THIS HAPPENED A FEW DAYS LATER. *TT

I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH MY ANTILOCK BRAKES AS OTHER GM TRUCKS ARE HAVING WITH THE EXCEPTION THAT I HAVE AN S-10 INSTEAD OF A FULLSIZE TRUCK AS MENTIONED IN THE NEWSPAPER ARTICLE FROM MAY 27 IN THE DETROIT NEWS. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE IS GOING TO BE ANYONE LOOKING INTO THE S-10 OF HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD THREE NEAR MISSES OF AN ACCIDENT AT SLOW SPEEDS AND EVERY TIME ITS THE SAME PROBLEM. I REALLY THINK GM NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEBODY GETS SERIOUSLY HURT. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP.

WE OWN A 2000 S-10 ZR2. THE ORIGINAL TRANSMISSION HAD 42,000 MILES (6000 MILES OUT OF WARRANTY) WHEN IT FAILED. THE 2ND TRANSMISSION FAILED 1 YEAR LATER AS IT ONLY HAD 22,000 MILES ON IT. WE ARE NOW SPENDING $2600.00 ON A 3RD TRANSMISSION AND DRIVETRAIN PROBLEM. GM/CHEVROLET REFUSED TO HELP US WHEN WE CALLED IN MAY OF 2004. THEY CLAIM SINCE IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY THEY COULDN'T HELP. WE DIDN'T BOTHER CALLING THEM AGAIN....PLEASE HELP US RE-COUP.

CHEVY S-10 P/U 2000. BRAKES CHATTER AND FAIL. IT HAS BEEN PRESENT SINCE BUYING VEHICLE.

DRIVING 45 MPH, CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED IN FRONT OF MY DAUGHTER (DRIVER), APPLIED BRAKE WHICH WENT TO THE FLOOR AND DID NOT STOP VEHICLE RESULTING IN COLLISION WITH VEHICLE AND EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO OUR S10 FRONT; AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.

MY 2000 CHEVY S10 4X4 (PURCHASED FROM COURTESY CHEVROLET, PHOENIX, AZ) BROKE DOWN ON 8/12/03 DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING OUT OF GEAR AND MAKING A GRINDING NOISE BETWEEN REVERSE & PARK WHEN I STOPPED. THE TRUCK WOULD NOT GO INTO DRIVE, AND I HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALER (GATEWAY CHEVROLET IN AVONDALE, AZ) APPROX. 65 MILES AWAY. AFTER THE TRUCK WAS CHECKED OUT THE NEXT DAY, THE SERVICE ADVISOR CALLED TO SAY THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TRUCK AND THAT IT SHIFTED INTO ALL GEARS AND RAN NORMAL. (NOTE: THERE WERE 82,278 MILES ON THE TRUCK AT THAT TIME AND I HAD THE 100,000 MILE EXTENDED WARRANTY). ON SEVERAL OTHER OCCASIONS BEFORE AND AFTER THIS EVENT, I EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN REVVING UP OF THE ENGINE, WHICH STOPPED AFTER SEVERAL RAPID DEPRESSIONS OF THE ACCELERATOR. ON 4/11/05, WHILE ON VACATION IN CALIFORNIA, THE EXACT PROBLEM OCCURED AGAIN, EXCEPT THIS TIME, AFTER BEING TOWED AGAIN TO THE NEAREST DEALER (COALINGA MOTORS, INC., COALINGA, CA), IT WAS FOUND THE TRANSMISSION WAS IN NEED OF REPLACEMENT, AS WELL AS THE SHIFT FORKS IN THE TRANSFER CASE.

TRUCK WOULDN'T START AND WOULD OFTEN STALL AFTER IT FINALLY STARTED. ACTED LIKE IT HAD NO FUEL IN TANK. HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP SYSTEM TWICE, WHICH WAS VERY COSTLY.

HAD 3RD DOOR HANDLE REPLACED TWICE AND IT'S SINCE BROKEN AGAIN. WILL NOT PAY TO HAVE IT REPLACED AGAIN. ALL KNOBS FOR BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEATS HAVE BROKEN B/C THEY ARE MADE OF CHEAP PLASTIC. DEALER JOKED SAYING EVERYONE WHO HAS BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD 3RD DOOR HANDLE REPLACED. HAD DRIVER DOOR HINGES REPLACED AND THEY NEED REPLACED AGAIN, BUT WILL NOT PUT ANYMORE MONEY INTO IT. BREAK SYSTEM IS AWFUL. FINALLY HAD TO REMOVE FUSE FOR THE ABS SYSTEM B/C THE BRAKES WOULD DEPRESS ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOORBOARDS AND NOT GRAB. HAVE HAD FUEL PUMP REPLACED TWICE. VERY COSTLY REPAIRS AND AS A RESULT WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER GM PRODUCT AGAIN.

TAILGATE CABLES ON MY 2000 CHEVY S10 HAVE RUSTED THROUGH AND BROKEN. I HAVE PURCHASED NEW CABLES, BUT THE REPAIR REQUIRES REPLACING THE ENTIRE LATCH. EVEN THE PARTS PEOPLE AT THE DEALERSHIP WERE DISGUSTED BY THIS. ALTHOUGH THERE IS A RECALL ON SOME OF THE FULL SIZED GM TRUCKS, THE MANUFACTURER DOES NOT SEEM CONCERNED ABOUT THEIR SMALLER TRUCK CUSTOMERS. FROM WHAT I'VE SEEN ON THE INTERNET, THIS DOES NOT SEEM LIKE AN ISOLATED CASE.

THE TAILGATE STRAPS BROKE WHEN I SAT ON THE OPEN TAILGATE ALMOST CAUSING ME TO FALL TO THE GROUND. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO CATCH MYSELF. IF I HAD PLACED ANY WEIGHT ON THE TAILGATE, THAT WOULD HAVE FALLEN ON MY LEGS AND CAUSED INJURY,

MY 2000 S-10 PICKUP ANTI-LOCK BRAKES HAVE BEN ACTUATING AT LOW SPPEDS SINCE I PURCHASED THE TRUCK NEW. WHNE SLOWING TO A STOP, THE SYSTEM PULSES THE PEDAL IF I HIT A BUMP. THE BRAKES ALSO PULSE WHEN TURING SHARPLY INTO A PARKING SPACE. BRAKING DISATANCE IS ALWAYS EXTENDED WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS. THE DEALER SAID THAT WAS THE WAY IT WAS SUPPOSED TO OPERATE.

TAILGATE WAS DOWN, AND WAS PULLING CONTAINER OF DIRT OUT OF BED OF TRUCK. WHEN THE WEIGHT OF THE CONTAINER SNAPPED THE TAILGATE CABLES ON BOTH SIDES OF OUR 2000 CHEVROLET S10, CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE TAILGATE AND SPILLING CONTAINER. *AK

1. I WAS UNLOADING MY ALUMINUM CANOE FROM MY CHEVROLET S10 PICK UP TRUCK, AND TAILGATE CABLES BROKE, LOTS OF RUST AND CORROSION ON THE CABLES, CAUSING THE TAILGATE TO SUDDENLY DROP 6 TO 10 INCHES ON THE BACK BUMPER, CAUSING ME TO LOSE BALANCE. I FELL OFF THE TAILGATE AND FELL ONTO THE CANOE , BUMPING MY HEAD AND HURTING MY CHEST AND SHOULDER. I WENT TO GMC DEALERSHIP IN ROCHESTER, INDIANA 46975, AND WAS TOLD THEY HAD NO RECALL ON THESE ITEMS, AND I COULD ORDER THEM FOR REPLACEMENT. *AK

EA 05 008/TAILGATE SUPPORT CABLES BREAK: BOTH SUPPORT CABLES BROKE WHILE LOWERING THE TAILGATE. NO INJURY WAS REPORTED. MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND THEY INFORMED THE CONSUMER THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THOSE PARTS. *NM
