2000 CHEVROLET TRACKER SUV, HAVE HAD PROBLEMS SINCE DAY ONE WITH KEY BEING STUCK IN IGNITION. YOU CAN PUT IT IN 4-WD /REVERSE AND THE KEY WILL COME OUT. ALSO, THIS VEHICLE IS VERY UNSTABLE WHEN GOING ONTO A RAMP OF A FREEWAY IF THERE IS ANY CURVE IN THE RAMP WHATSOVER.*AK

2000 CHEVROLET TRACKER, HAVE EXPERIENCED SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHEN QUICKLY DEPRESSING THE BRAKES CAUSED THE FRONT WHEELS TO LOCK PUTTING THE VEHICLE INTO A 10 TO 12' SKID. THE FIRST TWO TIMES I WAS LEAVING A DRIVEWAY SLOWLY ROLLING FORWARD TO ENTER A HWY WHEN I DECIDED NOT TO GO. WHEN QUICKLY DEPRESSOMG THE BRAKES THE VEHICLE'S FRONT TIRES LOCKED SENDING THE VEHICLE INTO A SKID. ONE TIME TO THE RIGHT AND ONE TIME TO THE LEFT. BOTH TIMES THE PAVEMENT WAS DRY AND I HAVE BEEN VERY SLOWLY ROLLING FOREWARD TO SEE IF ALL WAS CLEAR. THE OTHER PROBLEM IS THAT THE BRAKE AND ACCELERATOR ARE ON THE SAME LEVEL. ON TWO OCCASIONS I HAVE HIT THE BRAKE PEDAL AND CONTACTED THE ACCELERATOR AT THE SAME TIME. THE FIRST TIME THE VEHICLE SKIDDED OUT OF CONTROL TO THE LEFT FOR 10 TO 12 FEET. THE SECOND TIME I HAD JUST MADE A SLOW 90 DEGREE TURN ONTO A DRY CEMENT DRIVEWAY DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF A GARAGE. THE DRIVEWAY WAS APPROX. 25 TO 30 FEET LONG. THIS TIME MY FOOT MOVED FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL ONTO THE ACCELERATOR CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO JUMP FOREWARD. WHEN I HIT THE BRAKE HARD THE VEHICLE SKIDDED OUT OF CONTROL TO THE LEFT, LEAVING BLACK TIRE MARKS 8 TO 10 FEET LONG. AT THE END OF THE SKID MARKS YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE THAT THE TIRES DUG INTO THE DRY CEMENT, YET THE VEHICLE CONTINUED AFTER THE MARK FOR SEVERAL FEET STRIKING THE GARAGE. THE ACCIDENT CAUSED MINIMAL DAMAGE TO THE FRONT BUMPER OF THE TRACKER, BUT CAUSED EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE GARAGE. I HAVE DOCUMENTED THIS SITUATION ON FILM AND FILED A CLAIM WIT

WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH IN THE RAIN,(WITHOUT ACCELERATING) THE BACK END OF THE CAR SWEPT OUT TO THE LEFT, LOST CONTROL OF THE STEERING AND WHEN IT HIT THE GRASS AND MUD ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, THE CAR FLIPPED OVER ONTO THE DRIVERS SIDE AND COMPLETELY TOTALED THE CAR. NO AIR BAGS WERE EMPLOYED. *AK

IN MY 2000 TRACKER I HAD A DEFECTIVE CLOCK SPRING,WHICH WOULD CAUSE THE FAILURE OF THE AIRBAGS. I HAD IT RECENTLY REPAIRED AT THE DEALER AND NOW SEE IF IT WAS A DODGE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN REPAIRED AS A SAFETY RECALL HOW COME MY VEHICLE IS NOT CONSIDERED A SAFETY PROBLEM AND I HAD TO PAY $371.00 TO THE DEALER FOR THE SAME REPAIR AS THE DODGE VEHICLES.*AK

WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH CONSUMER HEARD A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR. CONSUMER WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, AND PULLED OVER. CONSUMER NOTICED THAT THE PASSENGER REAR TIRE FELL OFF. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION, AND THE CAUSE HAD NOT BEEN DETERMINED. *AK

I HAVE RECENTLY HAD TO REPLACE MY STEERING SHAFT ON MY 2000 CHEVY TRACKER. THIS EXACT SAME PART HAS BEEN RECALLED IN THE 1999 TRACKER. WHY IS IT NOT RECALLED IN THE 2000 WHEN IT IS THE EXACT SAME PART??THIS HAS COST ME OVER $500.00. I WAS DRIVING IN MY VEHICLE WITH MY 2 YEAR OLD AND 5 YEAR OLD WHEN IT WENT OUT. HOW UPSET I WAS WHEN I LEARNED THROUGH CHEVY THAT IT IS THE SAME PART BUT SINCE IT WAS A DIFFERENT YEAR THEY WOULD DO NOTHING. *NM

SERPRNTINE BELT CONTINUALLY GLAZES, HAVE REPLACED EVERY 6 MONTHS SINCE ORIGINAL PURCHASE. DEALER NOW ADVISES BELTS WILL NO LONGER BE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AND CHARGES $150.00 EVERY TIME BELT IS REPLACED. DEALER ADVISES THERE IS NO FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM AND I'LL JUST "HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT.*AK

THE KEY DID NOT COME OUT OF THE IGNITION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AND THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS REPLACED. THE CONSUMER NOTICED A BURNING SMELL. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE RESERVOIR FOR THE 4-WHEEL DRIVE WAS BURNING OIL. *AK THE IGNITION PROBLEM WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH GM VEHICLES. THE DRIVE TRAIN DEVELOPED A NOISE, METAL WAS FOUND IN THE REAR END, THE STEERING SHAFT MECHANISM BROKEN AND ALLOWED THE KEY TO GO BACK INTO THE LOCK POSITION, THE FUEL GAUGE WAS INTERMITTENT, AND THE A/C WAS INOPERATIVE. *SC *JB

THE KEY WON'T ALWAYS TURN COMPLETLY OFF. IT STICKS IN THE AUX POSITION. IT SEEMS MAYBE A STICKING RELAY, NOT THE KEY ITSELF.

I BOUGHT THE CHEVROLET TRACKER AS A USED CAR FROM FREEMAN TOYOTA THE CAR HAD 33817 MILES WE HAD TILL 36000 AN THE WARRANTY WOULD BE UP THAT WENT REALLY FAST, NEEDLESS TO SAY IT SEEMS RIGHT AFTER THAT I HAVE ACQUIRED A HIGH SQUEAL COMING FROM IT SEEMS THE BELTS OR MAYBE THE PULLEYS WE HAVE USE A CYCLON SPAY THAT WAS SUGGESTED IT GOES AWAY FRO A FEW DAYS AN COMES BACK AGAIN I HAVE DRIVEN MY CAR NOW HAS THE MILES OF 47082, A CAR OF LESS THAN 50000 SHOULD STILL RUN QUIETLY AND HAVE NO LOUD SQUEALS AS YOU DRIVE.

THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE WIPER MATERIAL SELECTED BY GMC IS NOT SUITABLE FOR USE IN COLD WEATHER AREAS. IN ADDITION, I HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM WITH MY GMC 1996 YUKON. DURING COLD WEATHER THE WIPER BLADE MATERIAL TAKES THE SHAPE OF THE WINDSHIELD IN ITS REST POSITION. IF YOU DRIVING ALONG AFTER A SNOW STORM WITH CHEMICALS ON THE ROAD AND THE ROAD HAS SLUSH OR SIMPLY WATER ON IT AND A VEHICLE PASSES YOU (GOING IN EITHER DIRECTION) AND THROWS SLUSH OR DIRTY WATER UP ON YOUR WINDSHIELD YOU ARE BLINDED UNTIL YOU GET THE WIPERS ON. HOWEVER, THESE WIPERS DON'T HELP, IN FACT THEY MAKE THINGS WORSE. AS THE WIPERS MOVE OVER THE WINDSHIELD THEY MAINTAIN THEIR AT REST CONFIGURATION AND RIDE ON THE END POINTS OF THE WIPERS. TURNING ON THE WINDSHIELD WASHER DOES NOT HELP SINCE THE WIPER BLADE DOES NOT TOUCH MOST OF THE WINDSHIELD. SO NOW YOU ARE DRIVING ALONG TOTALLY BLIND. I ASKED THE DEALER TO PUT ON GM BLADES SUITABLE FOR WINTER CONDITIONS. HIS RESPONSE WAS THEY DON'T MAKE ANY. I TOLD HIM HOW THE GM WIPERS DON'T WORK. EVIDENTLY IN AN ATTEMPT TO MAKE FEEL BETTER HE TOLD ME HE HAD TO STOP TWICE ON THE WAY TO WORK THAT TO "HAND WORK" HIS WIPERS SO THAT THEY CLEANED THE WINDOW. HE INFORMED ME THAT GM KNEW OF THE PROBLEM AND RATHER THAN MAKE ALL WEATHER WIPERS THEY DECIDED TO MAKE WIPERS THAT MOST OF THE TIME IN A LARGE AREA OF THE COUNTRY!!!! WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED GREATER THAN 5 MILES AN HOUR AND YOU CAN NO LONGER SEE THE ROAD YOU ARE IN A DEATH TRAP AND POSE A RISK OF INJURY TO OTH

NO SUMMARY LISTED FOR ABOVE VEHICLE. *AK
