2001 CHEVROLET S10 Complaints

HORRIBLE PROBLEM WITH THE SHIFTING OF TRANSMISSION. TRANSMISSION WAS REBUILT 6 MONTHS AGO DUE TO THE BURN OUT OF THE 2ND AND 3RD GEAR. SHIFTING HAS NOT CHANGED SINCE THE REBUILD. VEHICLE EASILY SLIPS OUT OF GEAR AND INCREASINGLY LOSES SPEED...NO MATTER IF THE GAS PEDAL IS TO THE FLOOR OR NOT. TRUCK WILL GO 65 MPH IN 2ND GEAR WITH PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND LOSE SPEED RAPIDLY STILL. SECOND, BRAKES LOCK UP GOING OVER SMALL BUMPS, AND THEN SEEM TO NOT WANT TO WORK PROPERLY ON OCCASION. LASTLY, TAILGATE CABLES HAVE SNAPPED AFTER I SAT ON THE TAILGATE (I'M 5'0" AND 100LBS!!). *AK

AFTER LOWERING THE TAILGATE CONSUMER NOTICED PASSENER SIDE TAILGTATE STRAP WAS BROKEN. *AK *TC

THE GALVANIZED STEEL TAILGATE SUPPORT CABLES THAT RETAIN THE TAILGATE IN THE FULL OPEN HORIZONTAL POSITION CORRODED /WEAKENED, AND FRACTURED. THE TAILGATE SUDDENLY DROPPED, AND STRUCK THE TOP SURFACE OF THE REAR BUMPER.*AK

BOTH TAILGATE STRAPS BROKE WHILE OPENING TAILGATE ON MY 2001 CHEVROLET S10 XTREME. BOTH STRAPS ARE COMPLETLY RUSTED THROUGH. TRUCK HAS A TONOU COVER TO PROTECT BED AND TAILGATE FROM WEATHERING AND ELEMENTS. DENTED TAILGATE DUE TO FAILURE.

THE FUEL TANK LEAKED GAS, AND HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE, BUT THE PROBLEM RECURRED. THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE VEHICLE CAN CATCH ON FIRE. MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN CONTACTED BY CONSUMER.*AK

ON JAN 29,2005 WE WERE PREPARING TO LOAD GROCERIES INTO THE BED OF THE TRUCK. WE OPENED THE TAILGATE AND BOTH OF THE SUPPORT CABLES SNAPPED CAUSING THE TAILGATE TO FALL ONTO THE BUMPER. WE HAVEN'T MADE ARRANGEMENTS FOR REPAIR YET AS I WAS CHECKING TO SEE IF THERE HAS BEEN ANY TYPE OF RECALL. I HAD KNOWN OF THE RECALL FOR THE SILVERADO AND THOUGHT THE S-10 MAY BE INCLUDED.*AK

TAILGATE WAS PLACED IN DOWN POSITION AND WEIGHT WAS PLACED ON TAILGATE. TAILGATE STRAP ON LEFT SIDE FAILED. OAD ON TAILGATE SHIFTED AND WAS CAUGHT BY ME BEFORE IT HIT THE GROUND. AILURE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. WILL HAVE TO FIX SOON.*AK

THE TAILGATE CABLES SNAPPED WHILE I WAS STANDING ON THE TAILGATE. THE TAILGATE DROPPED A FEW INCHES, UNTIL STOPPED BY THE BUMPER. I FELL OFF AND THE TAILGATE WAS SLIGHTLY DENTED. I WAS NOT SERIOUSLY HURT. *NM

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
