A/C FAN EITHER STOPS FUNCTIONING OR SLOWS TO LOW AFTER EXTENDED PERIODS (USUALLY 20-25 MINUTES) RUNNING FAN ON HIGH AT MAX COOL DURING PERIODS OF HOT (75-80 DEGREES) WEATHER. TURNING FAN AND A/C OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES TEMPORARILY RESOLVES PROBLEM. DEALER UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE UNLESS THEY HAVE VEHICLE IN FAILURE MODE, WHICH IS USUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO ACCOMPLISH. IT ACTS ALMOST AS THOUGH THE A/C SYSTEM HAD AN OVERLOAD SWITCH ON IT THAT TEMPORARILY SHUTS UNIT DOWN.L. *AK

VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A COLLISION WHILE DRIVING AT 35 MPH. VEHICLE WAS HIT ON THE FRONT AND THE PASSENGER SIDES. UPON IMPACT, NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED, AND DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT FAILED TO RETRACT. AS A RESULT, CONSUMER HIT THE STEERING WHEEL AND SUSTAINED A CONCUSSION. VEHICLE SUSTAINED EXTENSIVE DAMAGE. MANUFACTURER'S INVESTIGATOR AFTER INSPECTING THE AIR BAGS INDICATED THE REASON THAT THEY DIDN'T DEPLOY WAS BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T HIT RIGHT. *AK

1)FUEL GUAGE STUCK AT AROUND 1/4 OF A TANK WHEN 1/4 OR BELOW. HAD TO PUT VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL TO GET ACCURATE READING. HAS RAN OUT OF GAS WHEN SHOWING 1/4 OF TANK. TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP - REPLACED FUEL LEVEL SENSOR. PROBLEM WAS NOT FIXED. TOOK BACK AGAIN AND OTHER ITEMS WERE REPLACED. SEEMS TO BE FIXED, BUT IT HAS ONLY BEEN 1 WEEK. 2)"POPPING" NOISE HEARD ON THE DRIVERS SIDE IN THE FRONT END. TOOK IN SAME TIME AS THE FIRST GASOLINE INCIDENT. REPLACED BALL JOINT AND GREASED FRONT END. SEEMED FINE UNTIL ABOUT 1 MONTH LATER AND THEN NOISE CAME BACK, ALONG WITH A VERY BAD "BOUNCING" IN THE FRONT END THAT MADE IT FEEL LIKE THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE TIRE WAS COMMING OFF. TOOK BACK TO DEALERSHIP (SAME TIME AS SECOND GASOLINE VISIT) SAID THAT IT WAS THE "DESIGN OF THE VEHICLE" - BUT YET IT NEVER DID THIS UNTIL THEN. DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN VERY COOPERATIVE.

2002 CHEVROLET S10 HAS HAD TO HAVE NEW FUEL PUMP MODULE PUT ON 03/19/03 AND HAS NOW GONE OUT AGAIN ON 12/31/03. HAD LEAK IN OIL PAN, LEAK IN WINDSHIELD ON PASSENGER SIDE. THE TRUCK HAD 29,000 MILES THE FIRST TIME THE FUEL PUMP WENT OUT AND 55,000 THIS TIME WHEN IT WENT OUT. I FEEL THAT IS ENTIRELY TOO FREQUENT FOR FUEL PUMPS TO FAIL.

AS A RESULT OF A SIDE IMPACT CRASH, THE SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED. PLEASE PROVIDE ESTIMATED SPEED AND FURTHER INFORMATION. *PH

THROTTLE STICKS IN FULL-OPEN POSITION. MOTOR RPM BOUNCE OFF THE REV-LIMITER WHEN THIS HAPPENS. PROBLEM IS NOT IN THROTTLE CABLING OR ACCELERATOR PEDAL MECHANISM. PROBLEM IS INTERNAL TO THROTTLE BODY.

VEHICLE WILL JUST STOP RUNNING. THE FUEL PUMP HAS BEEN REPLACED. AFTER BEING REPLACED IT QUIT 15 MILES FROM THE DEALERSHIP THAT REPAIRED IT. THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE. VEHICLE WILL START AGAIN AFTER SITTING SEVERAL HOURS. THEY TOLD US TO DRIVE UNTIL IT QUIT AGAIN. FRUSTRATED, WE TOOK IT TO A MORE SOPHISTICATED DEALERSHIP WHO ALSO COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AND TOLD US TO DRIVE IT UNTIL IT ACTED UP AGAIN. THE VEHICLE HAS QUIT 2 MORE TIMES, BUT ON THE WEEKEND BUT STARTS IN A FEW HOURS. *LA

2002 CHEVROLET S-10 LS X-CAB PICKUP MANUAL TRANSMISSION: LOUD KNOCKING NOISE COMMING FROM TRANSMISSION AND SHIFTING THROUGH GEARS IS ROUGH. WHEN CLUTCH PEDAL IS PRESSED NOISE DISAPPEARS BUT, WHEN PEDAL IS RELEASED A LOUD BANG IS HEARD FROM TRANSMISSION AND KNOCKING NOISE RETURNS. THE ROUGH SHIFTING OCCURS MOSTLY GOING INTO 3RD GEAR BUT ALSO OCCASIONALLY IN ALL OTHER GEARS. BROUGHT TO DEALER TO REPAIR FOR THE FIRST TIME ON JUN 2, 2003. TECHNICIAN SAID NOISE IS " NORMAL " FOR THIS TYPE OF VECH. DUE TO A HEAVIER DUTY TRANSMISSION. CLUTCH SLAVE UNIT WAS FOUND LEAKING, CAUSING THE ROUGH SHIFTING...DEALER REPLACED SLAVE UNIT. ON AUG. 4, 2003 TRUCK WAS ONCE AGAIN BROUGHT IN TO DEALER TO INQUIRE ABOUT KNOCKING NOISE FROM TRANS AND SHIFTING PROBLEMS (THIS TIME TRANSMISSION WOULDN'T ALLOW SHIFTER TO GO INTO 1ST GEAR AND SHIFTING WAS ROUGH AGAIN) AFTER GETTING SECOND AND THIRD OPINIONS FROM VARIOUS SHOPS, AND ALL STATING THAT KNOCKING NOISE DOES NOT SOUND "NORMAL" AND A PROBLEM WITH SHIFTING. ONCE AGAIN SERVICE TECH AT THE DEALER STATED THAT KNOCKING NOISE IS NORMAL AND FOUND NO PROBLEMS WITH SHIFTING BUT MAY HAVE FIXED A PROBLEM, BECAUSE AFTER LEAVING SERVICE DEPT, SHIFTING WENT BACK TO NORMAL BUT KNOCKING IS STILL THERE.*AK

MY FINGERS WERE BURNNED WHEN I TOUCHED THE INSIDE RIGHT-SIDE WALL OF THE ASH TRAY IN MY 2002 CHEVROLET S-10 PICKUP. LATER ON I FIGURED OUT IT'S A DESIGN FLAW. WHEN YOU DRIVE THE CAR MORE THAN 20 MINUTES AT NIGHT, THE ILLUMINATING LIGHT INSIDE THE ASH TRAY HEATS THE INSIDE RIGHT-SIDE WALL TO EXTREMELY HOT, WHICH HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE A FIRE. TO PREVENT THE BAD THING HAPPENS, I KEEP THE ASH TRAY OPENED TO LET HEAT DISSIPATE OUT.*AK

AIR BAG NEVER DEPLOYED WHEN MY 2002 CHEVY XTREME S10 WAS HIT ON LEFT FRONT SIDE AND FRONT END. *JB

CAR IS DANGEROUS IN THAT IT MISFIRES IN HIGHER SPEED CONDITIONS. CHEVY EXECUTIVE OFFICE AND 2 DEALERS (O'CONNOR & BOB JOHNSON IN NY) REFUSED WARRANTY COVERAGE AFTER THEIR 4TH ATTEMPT FAILED TO CURE THE PROBLEM. 2 INDEPENDENT SHOPS VERIFIED PROBLEM. CHEVY EXECUTIVE OFFICE (MS. MANN) REFUSED TO CALL INDEPENDENT MECHANICS FOR ANY INFORMATION EVEN THOUGH THIS WOULD HAVE HELPED WITH DIAGNOSIS. CAR IS NOT EVEN A YEAR OLD WITH LESS THAN 4200 MILES. *JB

LOUD THUMPING NOISE COMING FROM GAS TANK AREA DURING SUDDEN STOPS OR ACCELERATIONS. ALSO DURING NORMAL STOPS AND NORMAL ACCELERATION. NOISE CONTINUES TO PRESENT TIME. *NLM

IF LARGE TIRES ARE PLACED ON THE REAR AND SMALLER TIRES PLACED ON THE FRONT, THE YELLOW AND RED ABS LIGHT WOULD COME ON. THE CONSUMER FELT THAT A WARNING STICKER SHOULD STATE THIS. THE CONSUMER ALSO STATED THE SERVICE DEALER WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, BUT PLACED THE TIRES ON REGARDLESS. MR SCC *JB

INITIAL COMPLAINT STARTED AT APPROX 17,100 MILES. THERE WAS WATER REPORTED IN THE REAR END DIFFERENTIAL. DEALER (LUCAS CHEVROLET) REFUSED TO REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY AND TO GIVE SUGGESTIONS ON HOW WATER GOT INTO SEALED UNIT. WE PAID TO HAVE THE FLUID CHANGED AND DEALER ASSURED THAT THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO REAR END DIFFERENTIAL. SECOND COMPLAINT WAS THAT THERE WAS A WHINING NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR END AT APPROXIMATELY 20,000 MILES. THE NOISE OCCURED BETWEEN 50 & 70 MPH AND WOULD QUIT WHEN THE GAS PEDAL WAS LET OFF. A DIFFERENT DEALER (JIM REED CHEVROLET) "REBUILT" THE REAR END DIFFERENTIAL. NOTE: DEALER WAS VERY HELPFUL IN FIXING PROBLEM. THE NEXT COMPLAINT WAS THAT AT APPROXIMATELY 23,000 MILES, AFTER THE REAR END DIFFERENTIAL FLUID WAS CHANGED, THE WHINING NOISE CAME BACK. THE DRIVING CONDITIONS WERE THE SAME AS THE SECOND COMPLAINT. THE DEALER (JIM REED CHEVROLET) AGAIN "REBUILT" THE REAR END DIFFERENTIAL. ON THE WAY HOME FROM THE DEALER (JIM REED CHEVROLET) THE REAR END IS STILL WHINING.

PUSHING THE DOME LIGHT OVER RIDE BUTTON, TWICE, TURNS OFF THE HEADLIGHTS. THIS CAN MAKE YOU PANIC UNTILL YOU SWITCH HEAD LIGHTS ON MANUALLY. ON A DARK ROAD THIS CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS.

ALSO, CONSUMER COMPLAINED THAT WHEN TAKING FOOT OFF THROTTLE VEHICLE WILL NOT SLOW DOWN FOR A PERIOD OF TIME. WHEN DRIVING WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER ON, VEHICLE WILL NOT SLOW DOWN.

COMPUTER CHIP CONSTANTLY FAILS WHICH CAUSES A CHAIN REACTION OF FAILURES TO OCCUR. THE TRUCK IS UNRELIABLE WITH VARIOUS BRAKE FAILURES AND CONSTANT TOWING BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP IS PATCHING THE TRUCK WITH MINOR REPAIRS INSTEAD OF ACTUALLY DOING A THOROUGH INSPECTION. PLEASE DESCRIBE DETAILS. TS

DRIVER FEELS THAT THE DESIGN AND LOCATION OF THE HOOD RELEASE LEVER CAUSES FOOT TO MAKE CONTACT WITH LEVER WHEN ENTERING OR EXITING THE VEHICLE. THIS RESULTED IN THE HOOD RELEASING UNEXPECTEDLY. TS *NLM

IN COLD WEATHER THE RUBBER BOOT ON THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION SHIFT LEVER GETS SO STIFF THAT IT WILL FORCE THE SHIFT LEVER OUT OF GEAR IF IT IS ON A DIFFERENT SIDE OF THE SHIFT PATTERN FROM WHERE IT WAS FOR THE EXTENDED PERIOD OF COLD. FOR EXAMPLE, IF IT IS PARKED IN 1ST GEAR OVERNITE IN THE COLD, IT WILL POP OUT OF 2ND OR 4TH GEAR WHILE UNDER POWER UNLESS I DRIVE WITH MY HAND ON THE SHIFT APPLYING PRESSURE TO KEEP IT IN GEAR. THIS MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO STEER AT TIMES AND IMPOSSIBLE TO ADJUST OTHER CONTROLS. DT

RETURN SPRING HAD SIGNS OF TOOL CONTACT, BUTTERFLY IN THROTTLE BODY BORE SHOWED SIGNS OF TOOL MARKS, I CHECKED TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING WAS FREE, WHICH IT WAS, MY CONCERN IS THAT IF IT IS A REACURING PROBLEM SOMEONE WITH LESS LUCK COULD POSSIBLY BE KILLED AND THE MANUFACTURER IS NOT TELLING THE TRUTH ON THE REAL CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. *AK
