MY DAUGHTER WAS LETTING MY TAILGATE DOWN ON MY 2000 CHEVY S-10 PICKUP WHEN BOTH SUPPORT CABLES SNAPPED. THE TAILGATE PINCHED HER FINGERS BETWEEN THE TAILGATE AND THE BUMPER, IT COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE. SHE BRUISED HER FINGERS, NO PERMANENT INJURY.*AK I HAVE YET TO REPLACE THE SUPPORT CABLES, WE LOWER THE TAILGATE CAREFULLY.

1. MOVING A TELEVISION, PLACED INTO BED OF CHEVY S10 PICKUP. 2. TAILGATE SUPPORT CABLES (BOTH SIDES) SNAPPED, RUSTED THROUGH APPX MIDDLE OF CABLES. PERSON RESTING ON TAILGATE FELL OFF END OF TRUCK. SLIGHT DENTING OF TAILGATE AS IT FELL PAST HORIZONTAL AND PRESSED INTO BUMPER. 3. SPOKE WITH LOCAL DEALERSHIP. THEY INDICATED OTHER TRUCKS ON RECALL, NOT S10. HAVE PURCHASED NEW SET OF CABLE ASSEMBLIES (LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE, CAN NOT REPLACE JUST CABLE, AS THEY ARE INTEGRATED ON THE LATCH). HAVE DIGITAL PHOTOS TO SHOW FAILED CABLES. HAVE OLD PARTS. AM TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO REMOVE LATCH BAR TO REMOVE CABLE ASSEMBLIES FROM TAILGATE AT THIS TIME (3-12-05). *AK

BRAKE LINE FAILED AT AN INTERSECTION, TOTAL LOSS OF BRAKE PRESSURE. CHEVROLET NOTIFIED, DEALER COULD NOT FIND PROBLEM, PART TOOK A WEEK TO ARRIVE, AND WE JUST FIXED IT AT HOME OUT OF EXASPIRATION FOR THE DEALER, CHEVY WAS GREAT THOUGH, LINE FOUND WORN RIGHT THROUGH. MANY FAILURES WITH THIS VEHICLE. WENT THROUGH 3 BATTERIES AND 2 ALTERNATORS. UPPER BALL JOINT FAILED ON THE HIGHWAY, PARTS DEPARTMENT TRIED TO SAY BECAUSE IT WASNT GREASED, BUT I KEEP IT GREASED, THE BALL BROKE RIGHT OUT THE SIDE, ALL BALL JOINTS REPLACED. IDLER ARM FOUND BROKEN WHEN VEHICLE TAKEN FOR RE-ALIGNMENT BEFORE THAT. VARIOUS ELECTRICAL FAILURES (SUSPECTED SHORT SOMEWHERE AS BATTERY SPARKS WHEN RECONNECTED). FUEL PUMP FAILURE AT 65,000 MILES, PRECEEDING FUEL GUAGE MALFUNCTION ABOUT 6 MO'S BEFORE, REPLACED FUEL PUMP. HEATING FAILURE SUSPECTED DUE TO DEX-COOL COOLANT (COOLANT SOLIDIFIES AND JAMS HEATER CORE, ECT...), VEHICLE REVERSE FLUSHED, AND NEW THERMOSTAT INSTALLED, NOT MUCH IMPROVEMENT, BLOWS HARDER BUT STILL COLD. TRANSMISSION SLIPS ON OCCASION. CURRENTLY LEAKS STEERING FLUID, THIS HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED AS I BOUGHT A NEW TRUCK, AND HAVE NOT HAD TIME TO FIX THE S10. WATER COMING IN FROM SOMEWHERE, CARPET CONSISTENTLY SOAKED. VERY UNHAPPY WITH VEHICLE WITH SO MANY REPAIRS, TRUCK ONLY HAS 70,000 MILES, COMPONENTS FAILED FAR BEFORE THEIR TIME, MORE MINOR THINGS WRONG BUT REPAIRED. WE ARE LUCKY TO HAVE A GARAGE AND A WHOLE LOT OF TOOLS FOR THIS VEHICLE. *AK

WHILE OPENING THE TAILGATE BOTH TAILGATE SUPPORT CABLES BROKE. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION, AND MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE TAILGATE SUPPORT CABLES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *AK

THE CONSUMER STATES THE TAILGATE CABLE HAVE RUSTED AND BROKE IN HALF WITHOUT WARNING. THE CAUSE HAS YET TO BE DETERMINED. PLEASE PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. *NM

BOTH OF THE TAILGATE CABLES RUSTED THROUGH AND BROKE. *NM

2000 S-10 EXTREME SUDDENLY CUTS OFF AND WILL NOT START AGAIN EVEN THOUGH TANK IS FULL. 2 MECHANICS SAY IT IS FUEL SENDING UNIT INSIDE GAS TANK. GREAT EXPENSE TO REPLACE. RESEARCHING ON WEB FIND MANY, MANY OTHER S-10 OWNERS WITH EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM. *NM

I HAVE A 2000 S-10 PICKUP . THE TAILGATE CABLES BROKE FIRST ON THE DRIVER SIDE. BEFORE IT WAS REPLACED THE PASSENGER SIDE SNAPPED WHEN THE TAILGATE WAS STEPPED ON WHILE LOADING/UNLOADING. LUCKILY WITHOUT CAUSING ANY PERSONAL INJURY.*AK

TAILGATE STRAPS ON MY 2000 CHEVROLET S10 BOTH BROKE. THIS VEHICLE HAS ONLY 38,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS NEVER HAD ANYTHING HEAVY PLACED ON IT. I TRIED TO GET PARTS TO REPLACE THE STRAPS, BUT WAS TOLD THEY CAN'T BE FOUND.*AK

WHILE OPENING THE TAILGATE CONSUMER NOTICED THAT THE TAILGATE SUPPORT CABLES BROKE. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION, AND MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE SUPPORT CABLES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *AK.......ALL CHEVROLET TRUCKS, EXCEPT S10, WERE RECALLED FOR DEFECTIVE TAILGATE SUPPORT CABLES, WHICH CAME FROM THE SAME SUPPLIER. *AK

2000 CHEVY S-10 PICKUP TRUCK (APPROX 35K MILES) TAILGATE CABLES HAVE SNAPPED AT MIDPOINT, APPROXIMATELY WHERE THEY ARE FORCED TO BEND WHILE THE TAILGATE IS IN CLOSED POSITION. FORTUNATELY, THERE WAS NO LOAD ON THE TAILGATE AT THE TIME BUT THE IN-USE FAILURE PUTS THE TAILGATE AT RISK TO FALL OFF THE TRUCK WHILE IN MOTION POTENTIALLY ENDANGERING A VEHICLE FOLLOWING ME. I SEE FROM AN EARLIER NHTSA RECALL, OTHER WEBSITE DISCUSSIONS AND BY THE SHEAR LACK OF REPLACEMENT PARTS AVAILABLE, THAT THIS COMPONENT FAILURE IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT.*AK

WHEN THE TAILGATE WAS IN USE BOTH OF THE TAILGATE SUPPORT STRAPS SNAPPED. THIS CAUSED THE TAILGATE TO FALL. THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. *AK *JB

CONSUMER COMPLAINED ABOUT A TAILGATE PROBLEM. THE CABLES THAT HOLD THE TAILGATE IN THE DOWN POSITION SNAPPED. CONSUMER CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER, AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR THIS DEFECT. ALSO, CONSUMER PROVIDED THE VIN FOR CONFIRMATION, BUT AGAIN WAS TOLD THAT IT DID NOT APPLY TO THE VEHICLE IN QUESTION. *AK

OPENING TAILGATE, SUPPORT CABLES BROKE OFF.NEEDS NEW CABLES TO REPAIR.*AK

FIRE LOSS TO 2000 CHEVROLET S10 BLAZER. FIRE LOSS TO 2002 CHEVROLET EXPRESS CARGO VAN NO KNOWN CAUSE OF FIRE TO BOTH VEHICLES. *AK THE VEHICLE SPONTANEOUSLY IGNITED A FIRE THAT DESTROYED THE VEHICLE. *SC

P/S & D/S FRONT SEAT RECLINER HANDLES HAVE BROKEN OFF, PREVENTING ADJUSTMENT OF SEAT TO PROPER UPRIGHT POSITION.*AK

I OWN A 2000 S-10 CHEVROLET PICKUP WITH AROUND 39,000 MILES. BOTH TAILGATE STRAPS SNAPPED SIMULTANEOUSLY AS I CROSSED A FIELD WITH THE TAILGATE IN THE OPEN POSITION. THIS IS NOT A COMPANY VEHICLE WHERE THE TAILGATE IS OPERATED EVERYDAY. I DO NOT ALLOW HEAVY LOADS ON THE TAILGATE ITSELF LIKE LOADING OR UNLOADING AN ATV. IT APPEARS TO ME THAT THERE IS A DEFINITE DESIGN FLAW IN THIS CABLING. WHEN THE TAILGATE IS CLOSED, THE COATED, STRANDED COPPER WIRE THAT MAKES UP THE CABLE IS FOLDED BACK AGAINST ITSELF. ANY OPENING AND CLOSING CAUSES NORMAL, BENDING METAL FATIGUE. IN LOOKING AT MY FAILED CABLES, IT IS APPARENT THAT ALL OF THE STRANDS EXCEPT FOR APPROXIMATELY TEN, HAD FAILED PRIOR TO THE FINAL CABLE FAILURE. THANKFULLY, NO ONE WAS INJURED ON MY TRUCK'S CABLE FAILURE; HOWEVER, IT IS NOT UNCOMMON FOR PEOPLE TO CARRY OTHERS WORKING AFIELD ON THE TAILGATE. ALSO, TRUCKS ARE USED QUITE OFTEN FOR LOADING MATERIALS OR EQUIPMENT THAT APPLIES SOME LOAD TO THIS AREA. EITHER OF THESE COULD RESULT IN SOMEONE'S DEATH OR INJURY AND I HAVE FOUND INSTANCES OF BOTH ON-LINE. THERE IS CURRENTLY A RECALL ON SOME OF GM'S LARGER TRUCKS, BUT NOT ALL. ADDITIONALLY, I HAVE TALKED WITH MY DEALERSHIP AND A GM REPRESENTATIVE AND HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT THE RECALL HAS NOT BEEN EXTENDED TO CHEVY'S SMALLER TRUCKS. THIS ITEM NEEDS SOME ATTENTION BEFORE SOMEONE ELSE IS INJURED OR KILLED!!*AK

WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED THE CONSUMER WAS UNLOADING BRICKS FROM THE TAILGATE AND WITHOUT WARNING, THE TAILGATE SHEARED OFF. THE CONSUMER WAS ABLE TO REPLACE THE TAILGATE. *JB THE TAILGATE CABLES WERE REPLACED USING USED PARTS. *NM

WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED DRIVER'S SEAT RECLINED. CONSUMER MANAGED TO PULL OVER, AND TEMPORARILY FIXED THE PROBLEM. THEN, DROVE HOME. DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. *AK

LOADING SMALL ATV IN BACK OF 2000 CHEVROLET S10 ZR2 AND BOTH CABLES BROKE, CAUSING ATV TO COME CRASHING DOWN ON THE TAILGATE AND TO THE GROUND. RECEIVED MINOR SCRAPES TRYING TO STOP IT, BUT IT DID EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE TAILGATE IN THE PROCESS. CHECKED PRICE OF NEW CABLES AND COST TO REPLACE AND IT WAS RIDICULOUS!! DEALER SAYS THEY HAVE SEEN MANY OTHERS LIKE THIS, BUT GM WILL NOT WARRANTY. I HAVE ALSO HAD MY THIRD DOOR HANDLE BREAK NUMEROUS TIMES AND THEY WON'T REPLACE. AGAIN THE DEALER SAYS IT'S A COMMON PROBLEM. VERY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE IN MY OPINION. WOULD LIKE COMPENSATION FOR THE FAULTY CABLES AND THE DAMAGE THEY CAUSED.*AK

I HAVE HEARD OF NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT TAILGATE STRAPS BREAKING ON VARIOUS CHEVY TRUCKS. I HAVE A 2000 S10 ZR2 AND MINE ARE BROKE AS WELL. I THINK THEY NEED TO ADD S10 TO THE RECALL TOO AND GET US ALL TAKEN CARE OF. *AK

I OWN A 2000 CHEVY S10 AND WAS SITTING ON THE TAILGATE WHEN ONE OF THE TAILGATE CABLES SNAPPED AND CAUSED ME TO FALL FROM THE TAILGATE. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH MY LOCAL CHEVORLET DEALER AND REPLACEMENT CABLES ARE $50. I HAVE YET TO PURCHASE THESE BECAUSE THEY ARE RATHER COSTLY AND I WAS SEARCHING THIS SITE TO SEE IF THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THIS PART. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS PART BUT MANY FELLOW S10 OWNERS HAVE HAD THIS SAME EXPERIENCE.*JB

TAILGATE CABLES BREAKING FROM NORMAL USES ON A 2000 CHEVY S-10. *JB

I WAS DRIVING WHEN VEHICLE ENGINE JUST STOPPED. NO WARNING AT ALL. I WAS ABLE TO EXIT THE TRAFFIC LANES SAFELY. I WAS LUCKY THAT THE TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT AT THAT TIME. THE VEHICLE IS A 2000 CHEVROLET S10 PICKUP WITH ONLY 41000 MILES. INITIAL PROBLEM WAS THE FUEL PUMP ACCORDING TO THE CHEVROLET DEALER. SINCE THIS HAPPENED TO ME I'VE HEARD OF TWO OTHER CHEVY PICKUPS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. *JB

CONSUMER STATED THAT VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM AS CHEVROLET SILVERADO RECALL 04V129000. THE TAILGATE CABLE BROKE, AND HE HAD IT REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY. HOWEVER CONSUMER WAS CONCERNED THAT IT MAY HAPPEN AGAIN.*AK THE CONSUMER WOULD LIKE THE STAINLESS STEEL CABLES. *TC

WHILE STANDING ON TOP OF THE TAILGATE ITS CABLE BROKE. DRIVER SUSTAINED MINOR INJURIES. CONSUMER CONTACTED THE DEALER. HOWEVER, THE CAUSE HAD NOT BEEN DETERMINED. *AK

I OWN A 2000 S-10 PICKUP I HAD THE TAILGATE OPEN AND I SAT ON IT AND THE TAILGATE STRAPS BROKE AND I FEEL TO THE GROUND I ALREADY HAVE BACK PROBLEMS AND WHEN I FELL I HURT MY BACK AND HAD TO HAVE TREATMENT DONE ON MY BACK BY MY CHIROPRACTOR. MY HUSBAND CALLED THE CHEVY COMPANY AND TOLD THEM THAT THE STRAPS BROKE AND ASKED IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON THEM THEY SAID YES BUT NOT ON THE S-10 ONLY ON THE SIERRAS AND SILVERADOS. THEY WOULD DO NOTHING TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM. SO I WENT INTO THE RECALL SITE AND IT SAID THEY HAD 42 COMPLAINTS ON THE S-10 AND SONOMAS ON THE 2000 YEAR I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY NOTHING IS BEING DONE TO FIX THESE IF THEY HAVE HAD THIS MANY COMPLAINTS I HAVE TALKED TO 2 OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM THEY SAID THEY JUST NEVER TOOK THE TIME TO FILE A COMPLAINT. SO HOW MANY OTHERS ARE THERE OUT THERE LIKE THIS ? I FEEL VERY STRONGLY THAT THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSABLE FOR FIXING THIS. THANK YOU BEVERLY USTASZEWSKI. *AK

THE TAILGATE SUPPORT CABLES CORRODED AND BROKE. A RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR THE CABLES, HOWEVER THE VEHICLE WAS OUTSIDE OF THE REMEDY SCOPE. *JB BOTH OF THE SUPPORT CABLE ATTACHMENT ENDS SAT EXPOSED VERTICALLY WHEN THE TAILGATE WAS CLOSED ALLOWING MOISTURE TO ENTER THE CABLE ENDS. THE BLACK PLASTIC COATING ON THE CABLES ALLOWED MOISTURE TO COLLECT IN THE LOOP FORMED BY THE CABLES WHEN THE TAILGATE WAS CLOSED, TRAPPING THE MOISTURE IN WITH THE METAL CABLES CAUSING A CORROSION PROBLEM. *SC

THE SEAT RECLINER PIVOT ASSEMBLY MADE OF SOFT ALUMINUM AND DANGER TO PASSENGERS IN THIS CAR. THE SEAT RECLINER PIVOT ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED TWICE. *BF *SC

PASSENGER SEAT DOESN NOT LOCK IN PLACE, CAUSING PASSENGER TO SLIDE IN TO DASH WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED.*AK

WHILE OPENING THE TAILGATE, THE CABLES BROKE. *JB BOTH TAILGATE CABLES BROKE AT THE SAME TIME. WHEN THE CABLES WERE MANUFACTURED. THERE WAS A HOLE AT THE TOP OF THE CABLES THAT ALLOW WATER TO DRAIN INTO THE CENTER OF THE CABLE, TRAPPING THE WATER AND RUSTING OUT THE CABLE. *SC

THE TAILGATE SUPPORT CABLES CORRODED AND BROKE. *AK

THE DRIVER WAS ROLLING THE MOTORCYCLE OFF OF THE TRUCK BED AND WITHOUT WARNING THE CABLES COLLAPSED. THE DRIVER PLACED THE CABLES INSIDE OF THE TRUCK AND DROVE IT TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE MECHANIC INFORMED THE CONSUMER THAT THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT ON A RECALL. THE CONSUMER HAS TO RENDERED PAYMENT FOR PARTS AND LABOR. *JB

THE CONSUMER STATED THAT TAILGATE CABLES SNAPPED. AS A RESULT, THE TAILGATE FELL ONTO THE BUMPER. NO INJURIES REPORTED. *AK *SC

WHEN THE CONSUMER LOWERED THE TAILGATE, THE RIGHT CABLE SNAPPED ALLOWING THE TAILGATE TO FALL. AFTER SEVERAL WEEKS THE LEFT CABLE BROKE. THIS MODEL WAS NOT ONE THAT THE MANUFACTURER WAS RECALLING . PLEASE DESCRIBE DETAILS. *JB

WHILE STANDING ON THE TAILGATE OF MY S-10 PICKUP, THE LEFT SUPPORTING CABLE BROKE. THE CABLE ON THE OTHER SIDE HELD SO THERE WAS NO INJURY OR DAMAGE. MY INSPECTION OF THE BREAKAGE REVEALED THE MULTISTRANDED STEEL CABLE HAD BECOME HEAVILY RUSTED AND THEREBY WEAKENED. THE CABLE IS COVERED BY PLASTIC TUBING WHICH CAN BE EASILY ABRADED BY REPEATED OPENING AND CLOSING OF THE TAILGATE. MOREOVER THE CABLE IS OBVIOUSLY MADE FROM UNPROTECTED METAL IE. ZINC-DICHROMATE AT BEST, RATHER THAN GANVANIZED OR STAINLESS. (ZINC-DICHROMATE SACRIFICES ITSELF TO MOISTURE OVER A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME). I WENT THE AREA DEALER WHO, AFTER CHECKING TO SEE IT WAS ON THE RECALL LIST, QUOTED OVER $100.00 TO REPLACE BOTH THE LEFT AND RIGHT CABLES. I LEARNED SOME LARGER TRUCK MODELS ALREADY HAD RECALLS FOR THIS PROBLEM. I CALLED GM AND AFTER A DAY WAS TOLD THEY WOULD SPLIT THE COSTS WITH ME WHICH I TOLD THEM WAS UNACCEPTABLE AS I CONSIDERED THE PROBLEM TO OF A SAFTEY RELATED NATURE STEMMING FROM POOR DESIGN WHICH ESSENTIALLY MADE THE PRODUCT UNFIT FOR IT'S INTENDED USE. IT REMAINS UNREPAIRED AT THIS TIME. *AK

WHILE APPYING BRAKES AT 40 MPH BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR, AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO MOVE, RESULTING IN EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. *AK

CRUISE CONTROL ACCELERATING AND CAN NOT BE SHUT OFF. *BF THE CONSUMER HAD FOUR SEPARATE INCIDENTS WITH HIS VEHICLE IN WHICH CUISE CONTROL STARTS ACCELORATING AND CON NOT BE SHUT OFF UNLESS THE CONSUMER TURNS OFF VEHICLE.

SEAT LEVERS ON BOTH SEATS HAVE BROKEN OFF COMPLETELY. DEALER STATED THAT IT WOULD COST $200+ EACH TO REPLACE THEM, DEALER MENTIONED THAT THIS WAS A FREQUENT OCCURRENCE FOR THE VEHICLE

WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED AND WHEN THE BRAKES WERE DEPRESSED THERE WAS EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. A CERTIFIED MECHANIC FOUND THAT THE BRAKES WERE WEARING OUT TOO FREQUENTLY FOR THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE. *AK THE CONSUMER STATED THAT THE BRAKES ARE TO WEAK TO STOP THE LARGE VEHICLE. AT 61,000 MILES THE CONSUMER DROVE THE VEHICLE 2WD WHEN THE 4WD ACTIVATION FAILED CAUSING 900.00 IN DAMAGE. *TC

TRUCK WAS SLIPPING OUT OF GEAR, AND EVENTUALLY WAS MAKING A GRINDING NOISE WHEN TRYING TO SHIFT. IT WAS TAKEN TO MECHANIC AND READOUT INDICATED THE TRANSMISSION WAS OVERHEATING. TRUCK WAS TAKEN TO MECHANIC A TOTAL OF 3 TIMES FOR EVALUATION WHEN FINAL DETERMINATION WAS A NEW TRANSMISSION WAS NEEDED. NEW TRANSMISSION WAS PUT IN; AND A WEEK LATER, THE NEW TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR. TRUCK IS STILL AT MECHANICS BEING EVALUATED.*AK

CONSUMER GOT OUT OF VEHICLE AND TOOK 2 STEPS, THEN HEARD A SERIES OF CLICKING NOISES, LOOKED AROUND AND VEHICLE WAS ROLLING DOWN THE HILL. VEHICLE HIT HIS FRIEND'S VEHICLE. CONSUMER CALLED CHEVROLET, AND THEY SENT A REPRESENTATIVE TO HIS HOME, HOOKED VEHICLE UP TO A COMPUTER, AND TRIED TO GET THE VEHICLE TO REPRODUCE THE CLICKING AND ROLLING. THE CHEVROLET REPRESENTATIVE PARKED CONSUMER'S VEHICLE ON THE HILL AND STILL IT DID NOT DO IT AGAIN. *AK
