GMC FAILED TO NOTIFY OWNERS OF 1995 CHEVROLET S10 PICK-UP OF RECALLS. UPON SEARCHING AND CONTACTING GMC DIRECTLY I FOUND THAT THEIR DATA BASE SHOWED TWO LISTINGS FOR S10 VEHICLES.. ONE IS LISTED AS AN S10, AND ONE AS A S-10. ONE SHOWED NO RECALLS OR CAMPAIGNS , AND THE OTHER SHOWED 7. THIS WAS DISCOVERED AFTER FINALLY GIVING THE REPRESENTATIVE AT GMC CAMPAIGN NUMBERS. EVEN THE GMC DEALERS DATA BASE AND RESOURCES SHOWED NO RECALLS. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE RECALLS DID NOT EFFECT THIS VEHICLE, BUT SEVERAL OF THE PROBLEMS WERE RELEVANT TO PROBLEMS I WAS HAVING WITH THIS VEHICLE. THE DEALER AND GMC REFUSED TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEMS. *AK

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
