2002 CHEVROLET S10 Complaints

2002 CHEVROLET S10 HAS HAD TO HAVE NEW FUEL PUMP MODULE PUT ON 03/19/03 AND HAS NOW GONE OUT AGAIN ON 12/31/03. HAD LEAK IN OIL PAN, LEAK IN WINDSHIELD ON PASSENGER SIDE. THE TRUCK HAD 29,000 MILES THE FIRST TIME THE FUEL PUMP WENT OUT AND 55,000 THIS TIME WHEN IT WENT OUT. I FEEL THAT IS ENTIRELY TOO FREQUENT FOR FUEL PUMPS TO FAIL.

AS A RESULT OF A SIDE IMPACT CRASH, THE SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED. PLEASE PROVIDE ESTIMATED SPEED AND FURTHER INFORMATION. *PH

THROTTLE STICKS IN FULL-OPEN POSITION. MOTOR RPM BOUNCE OFF THE REV-LIMITER WHEN THIS HAPPENS. PROBLEM IS NOT IN THROTTLE CABLING OR ACCELERATOR PEDAL MECHANISM. PROBLEM IS INTERNAL TO THROTTLE BODY. FEELS LIKE A PIECE OF RUBBER IS JAMMED BETWEEN THE THROTTLE PLATE AND THROTTLE BODY HOUSING. VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT DEALERSHIP BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. *LA

VEHICLE WILL JUST STOP RUNNING. THE FUEL PUMP HAS BEEN REPLACED. AFTER BEING REPLACED IT QUIT 15 MILES FROM THE DEALERSHIP THAT REPAIRED IT. THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE. VEHICLE WILL START AGAIN AFTER SITTING SEVERAL HOURS. THEY TOLD US TO DRIVE UNTIL IT QUIT AGAIN. FRUSTRATED, WE TOOK IT TO A MORE SOPHISTICATED DEALERSHIP WHO ALSO COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AND TOLD US TO DRIVE IT UNTIL IT ACTED UP AGAIN. THE VEHICLE HAS QUIT 2 MORE TIMES, BUT ON THE WEEKEND BUT STARTS IN A FEW HOURS. *LA

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE JUMPED OUT OF GEAR CAUSING VEHICLE TO STOP COMPLETELY. *AK

HEADLIGHTS DO NOT STAY ADJUSTED, CAUSING IMPAIRED VISION. DEALER HAS REPAIRED DEFECT OVER SIX TIMES BUT PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. *AK

2002 CHEVROLET S-10 LS X-CAB PICKUP MANUAL TRANSMISSION: LOUD KNOCKING NOISE COMMING FROM TRANSMISSION AND SHIFTING THROUGH GEARS IS ROUGH. WHEN CLUTCH PEDAL IS PRESSED NOISE DISAPPEARS BUT, WHEN PEDAL IS RELEASED A LOUD BANG IS HEARD FROM TRANSMISSION AND KNOCKING NOISE RETURNS. THE ROUGH SHIFTING OCCURS MOSTLY GOING INTO 3RD GEAR BUT ALSO OCCASIONALLY IN ALL OTHER GEARS. BROUGHT TO DEALER TO REPAIR FOR THE FIRST TIME ON JUN 2, 2003. TECHNICIAN SAID NOISE IS " NORMAL " FOR THIS TYPE OF VECH. DUE TO A HEAVIER DUTY TRANSMISSION. CLUTCH SLAVE UNIT WAS FOUND LEAKING, CAUSING THE ROUGH SHIFTING...DEALER REPLACED SLAVE UNIT. ON AUG. 4, 2003 TRUCK WAS ONCE AGAIN BROUGHT IN TO DEALER TO INQUIRE ABOUT KNOCKING NOISE FROM TRANS AND SHIFTING PROBLEMS (THIS TIME TRANSMISSION WOULDN'T ALLOW SHIFTER TO GO INTO 1ST GEAR AND SHIFTING WAS ROUGH AGAIN) AFTER GETTING SECOND AND THIRD OPINIONS FROM VARIOUS SHOPS, AND ALL STATING THAT KNOCKING NOISE DOES NOT SOUND "NORMAL" AND A PROBLEM WITH SHIFTING. ONCE AGAIN SERVICE TECH AT THE DEALER STATED THAT KNOCKING NOISE IS NORMAL AND FOUND NO PROBLEMS WITH SHIFTING BUT MAY HAVE FIXED A PROBLEM, BECAUSE AFTER LEAVING SERVICE DEPT, SHIFTING WENT BACK TO NORMAL BUT KNOCKING IS STILL THERE.*AK

DRIVERS SIDE THIRD DOOR LEAKS WATER WHEN IT IS RAINING, CAUSING CARPET TO BECOME MUSTY SMELLING.HAS THERE BEEN A RECALL OR FIX ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM? VEHICLE ONLY HAS 19000 MILES ON IT.*AK

THE FRAME IS BENT. THE VEHICLE HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE ALIGNMENT A WEEK AFTER BEING REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM. CHEVROLET, S10, BLAZER EXTREME 2002. *AK

MY FINGERS WERE BURNNED WHEN I TOUCHED THE INSIDE RIGHT-SIDE WALL OF THE ASH TRAY IN MY 2002 CHEVROLET S-10 PICKUP. LATER ON I FIGURED OUT IT'S A DESIGN FLAW. WHEN YOU DRIVE THE CAR MORE THAN 20 MINUTES AT NIGHT, THE ILLUMINATING LIGHT INSIDE THE ASH TRAY HEATS THE INSIDE RIGHT-SIDE WALL TO EXTREMELY HOT, WHICH HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE A FIRE. TO PREVENT THE BAD THING HAPPENS, I KEEP THE ASH TRAY OPENED TO LET HEAT DISSIPATE OUT.*AK
