1998 CHEVROLET S10 Complaints

DT: THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM IS ACTIVATING PREMATURELY WITH SPEEDS UNDER 15MPH. THE BRAKES ARE MAKING A HUMMING NOISE, AND DOESN'T STOP AT ALL. THIS PROBLEM HAS GONE ON FOR 5 MONTHS. THE CONSUMER HAD THE ABS SENSOR REPLACED ON THE FRONT AT A PRIVATE MECHANIC SHOP, TWO YEARS AGO. THE VEHICLE IS A FOUR DRIVE . *TT

I OWN TWO 1998 CHEVROLET TRUCKS; ONE IS AN S-10 PICK-UP, THE OTHER A BLAZER. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAIL ON BOTH OF THEM, USUALLY IN THE MIDDLE OF A DOWNPOUR.

MY GAS PEDEL STUCK AND THE CABLE FRAYED CAUSING THE ENGINE TO RACE WHILE IN GEAR,LUCKY I WAS ON A BACK ROAD AND NOT IN TRAFFIE,ON A 98 S10 PICKUP,I SAY THAT CHEVY SHOULD FIX ALL ,PUBLIC HAS NO SAY ON HOW THEY MAKE THEIR CARS, GAS PEDELS SHOULD ALWAYS WORK,

CONSUMER STATED THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL JUST QUIT. THE DEALER REPLACED THE CIRCUIT BOARD. *JB

1998 CHEVROLET S10 PICKUP ENGINE FAN EXPLODED THROUGH THE HOOD OF THE TRUCK.*MR THE INCIDENT HAPPENED WITH SUCH FORCE THAT IT TORE A HOLE IN THE HOOD 11" LONG AND 1 1/2" WIDE. THE METAL ON THE HOOD WAS PEELED BACK FROM THE FORCE. THERE WAS ALSO SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE UNDER THE HOOD. *BF

1998 CHEVY S-10 PICKUP TRUCK. BOTH TAILGATE CABLES BROKE WHILE STANDING ON TAILGATE RESULTING IN A FALL TO THE GROUND. BOTH CABLES ARE CORRODED AT THE MID POINT WHERE THEY FOLD WHEN CLOSING THE TAILGATE.

1998, S10 PICKUP TAILGATE STRAPS RUSTED IN 2 PIECES. THESE WERE RECALLED ON MY 2002 1500 FULL SIZE. WHY NOT THE S10 ? *AK

MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS HAVE A WIRING PROBLEM. WHEN THE SWITCH IS TURNED, THEY WORK SOMETIMES AND SOMETIMES THEY DO NOT. THEY OFTEN DO NOT WORK IN THE RAIN BUT ON DRY DAYS THEY WILL COME ON. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT WATER IS GETTING IN THE WIRING HARNESS, AND THE DEVICE HAD TO BE SHAKEN IN ORDER FOR THE WIPERS TO COME BACK ON. WINDSHIELD WIPERS THAT WILL NOT WORK IN THE RAIN SEEMS PRETTY RIDICULOUS TO ME. THERE WAS A RECALL ON EARLIER YEAR MODELS THAT HAVE ALMOST IDENTICAL WIRING. THE WIPERS NOT WORKING HAS PUT ME IN SEVERAL SERIOUS SITUATIONS. *AK

EA 05 008/TAILGATE SUPPORT CABLES BREAK: WHILE STANDING ON THE TAILGATE AND LOADING A SINK ONTO THE REAR BED THE LEFT SIDE SUPPORT CABLE HAS BROKEN. NO INJURY TO REPORT. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED. *NM

WHEN YOU TURN THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON, THEY WILL WORK AND THEN STOP WORKING WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, IF YOU GO TO TURN THEM FOR MIST, THEY WILL GO BACK AND FORTH LIKE THEY WERE ON AND NOT STOP, IF YOU PUT THEM ON INTERMENT, THEY WILL WORK SOMETIMES BUT THEY USUALLY STAY ON UNTIL YOU PULL OVER AND TURN THE TRUCK OFF AND BACK ON.*AK
