Reported: 2000-08-07 (August 7, 2000)
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES, LIGHT DUTY TRUCKS, SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, AND MINI VANS EQUIPPED WITH TRW SEAT BELT BUCKLE ASSEMBLIES. THE BUCKLE BASE OF THESE SEAT BELT ASSEMBLIES WERE NOT PROPERLY HEAT TREATED AND THEREFORE DO NOT PASS THE LOAD BEARING REQUIREMENT OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 209, "SEAT BELT ASSEMBLIES."
Consequence: IN THE EVENT OF A VEHICLE CRASH, THE OCCUPANT MAY NOT BE PROPERLY RESTRAINED.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE VEHICLE'S SAFETY BELT BUCKLE ASSEMBLY DATE CODES AND, IF NECESSARY, WILL REPLACE ANY SAFETY BELT BUCKLE ASSEMBLY.
Inspect model-year patterns, reported mileage, monthly activity and the evidence behind each signal.

FOR 2 WEEKS THE TRUCK FELT LIKE IT WAS HESITATING SOMEWHAT WHEN ACCELERATING. THEN WHEN DRIVING HOME ON DRY PAVEMENT ONE NIGHT, A POP SOUND WAS HEARD & SECOND GEAR WAS GONE. FROM A DEAD STOP, RPM'S GO UP TO 4000 OR 4500 BEFORE IT DOWN SHIFTS INTO 3RD GEAR. THERE IS ALSO NO REVERSE GEAR. CHEVY SAYS IT IS THE "SUN GEAR" THAT BLEW. TRUCK HAS 78000 MILES ON IT. YOU EITHER REBUILD IT FOR $1600 WITH A NEW SUN GEAR, OR REPLACE THE TRANNY FOR $2600.

THERE ARE 40,000 MILES ON MY 2001 S-10 AND THE FUEL PUMP WENT OUT. I FILLED THE TANK FULL OF GAS AND 8 MILES DOWN THE ROAD , THE FUEL PUMP WENT OUT. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A CHEVROLET DEALER AND IT COST OVER $900.00 TO REPLACE THE PUMP. $500.00 FOR THE PUMP, $60 FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC, 400.00 FOR THE LABOR. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE! . *JB

THE TAILGATE STRAPS RUSTED THROUGH AND BROKE ON BOTH MY CHEV S10 YEAR MODEL 1997 AND 2001. THE REPLACEMENT COST IS HIGHER THAN THE COST OF THE STRAPS., BECAUSE THEY HAVE INCREASED THE PRICE WITH A MODIFICATION THAT COSTS 6 TIMES MORE THAN THE REPLACEMENT STRAP. *AK
ON MY 2001 S10, ONE TAILGATE SUPPORT CABLE BROKE WHEN LOWERING THE TAILGATE. I HAVE SEEN A RECALL ON THESE CABLES ON THE FULL SIZE TRUCKS, BUT NOT THE S SERIES TRUCKS, YET THE CABLES ARE THE SAME CONSTRUCTION AND SEEM TO HAVE THE SAME WIDESPREAD BREAKAGE PROBLEM. GM REFUSES TO WARRANT THESE CABLES OR INCLUDE THEM IN THE RECALL.*AK
TAILGATE CABLE BROKE IN HALF ON DRIVERS SIDE. 2001 CHEVY S-10 CREW CAB. NO EVENTS LEADING UP TO FAILURE. POTENTIAL HAZARD IF HAULING A LOAD OF LUMBER WITH TAILGATE DOWN OR IF A PERSON WERE SITTING ON THE TAILGATE AS IT SNAPPED. POTENTIAL INJURY COULD OCCUR IN EITHER SITUATION. RECALL ALREADY EXSISTS FOR FULL SIZE CHEVEROLET PICKUPS USING THE SAME CABLE. CORRECTING THE FAILURE WOULD INVOLVE THE CABLE ITSELF, AS WELL AS THE LATCH ON THE TAILGATE THAT THE CABLE IS CONNECTED TO. *AK
ABS BRAKE SYSTEM CONTINUOUSLY BECOMES INOPERABLE AND THE LIGHT COMES ON WITH THE RED BRAKE LIGHT. THE DEALER SAYS IT TRASH IN THE SYSTEM AND DOESN'T THINK IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. NOW THE LIGHTS STAY ON ALL THE TIME AND INSPECTION IS DUE. DUE TO THIS MANUFACTURER DEFECT, THE PART COST $900.00 AND THEN LABOR, JOB WILL BE $1300.00. I HAVE A 2000 FORD WINDSTAR VAN WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. IS THERE SOMETHING THAT CAN MAKE THE MANUFACTURER PAY FOR THE REPAIR? THIS IS A CLOSED SYSTEM THAT HAS NEVER BEEN TOUCHED OR SERVICED. *JS

THE CONSUMER STATED THAT THIS DID NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE STOPPED OR EVERY TIME THAT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHIC…
ON JULY 22, 2005, I PAID THE DEALER $615.74 TO REPLACE A SHORTED AIR PUMP. I BROUGHT IT IN SINCE THE LIGHT GAUGES WERE TURNING ON. THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHTED ON AND OFF. ONE WEEK LATER, THE A/C STOPPED WORKING. THE DEALER CHARGED ME $105.19 FOR THE DIAGNOSIS. ON AUG. 10, I PAID ANOTHER SHOP $852.08 TO REPLACE THE A/C COMPRESSOR. ON AUG. 30, MY S-10 STALLED AND HASN'T WORKED SINCE THEN. A MECHANIC SAID THE ENGINE HAS TO BE REPLACED (ANOTHER $3000 +) DUE TO OVERHEATING OF THE RADIATOR. THERE WAS NO PRIOR INDICATION THAT THE RADIATOR WAS LEA…
DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH ON NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS, SMOKE WAS NOTICED INSIDE THE VEHICLE CABIN. NO WARNING LIGHTS ALERTED THE CONTACT.

THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP TO REPLACE THE GASKET A THIRD TIME.

MY 2001 S10 DIED, AND WOULD NOT START, WHEN I CHECKED THE BATTERY, THE POSITIVE BATTERY CABLE FELL OFF, ALONG WITH PART OF THE BATTERY. CORROSION ON THE POSITIVE BATTERY CABLE, ALSO CAUSED THE END OF THE CABLE TO FALL OFF EASILY. TRUCK HAD TO BE TOWED HOME. NEW BATTERY, AND AFTERMARKET BATTERY CABLE TREMINAL SEEMS TO HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM. TRUCK ONLY HAD 41000 MILES ON IT, AND ALREADY OUT OF WARRANTY.*AK
