2000 CHEVROLET S10 Complaints

LOADING SMALL ATV IN BACK OF 2000 CHEVROLET S10 ZR2 AND BOTH CABLES BROKE, CAUSING ATV TO COME CRASHING DOWN ON THE TAILGATE AND TO THE GROUND. RECEIVED MINOR SCRAPES TRYING TO STOP IT, BUT IT DID EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE TAILGATE IN THE PROCESS. CHECKED PRICE OF NEW CABLES AND COST TO REPLACE AND IT WAS RIDICULOUS!! DEALER SAYS THEY HAVE SEEN MANY OTHERS LIKE THIS, BUT GM WILL NOT WARRANTY. I HAVE ALSO HAD MY THIRD DOOR HANDLE BREAK NUMEROUS TIMES AND THEY WON'T REPLACE. AGAIN THE DEALER SAYS IT'S A COMMON PROBLEM. VERY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE IN MY OPINION. WOULD LIKE COMPENSATION FOR THE FAULTY CABLES AND THE DAMAGE THEY CAUSED.*AK

I HAVE HEARD OF NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT TAILGATE STRAPS BREAKING ON VARIOUS CHEVY TRUCKS. I HAVE A 2000 S10 ZR2 AND MINE ARE BROKE AS WELL. I THINK THEY NEED TO ADD S10 TO THE RECALL TOO AND GET US ALL TAKEN CARE OF. *AK

I OWN A 2000 CHEVY S10 AND WAS SITTING ON THE TAILGATE WHEN ONE OF THE TAILGATE CABLES SNAPPED AND CAUSED ME TO FALL FROM THE TAILGATE. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH MY LOCAL CHEVORLET DEALER AND REPLACEMENT CABLES ARE $50. I HAVE YET TO PURCHASE THESE BECAUSE THEY ARE RATHER COSTLY AND I WAS SEARCHING THIS SITE TO SEE IF THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THIS PART. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS PART BUT MANY FELLOW S10 OWNERS HAVE HAD THIS SAME EXPERIENCE.*JB

I WAS DRIVING WHEN VEHICLE ENGINE JUST STOPPED. NO WARNING AT ALL. I WAS ABLE TO EXIT THE TRAFFIC LANES SAFELY. I WAS LUCKY THAT THE TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT AT THAT TIME. THE VEHICLE IS A 2000 CHEVROLET S10 PICKUP WITH ONLY 41000 MILES. INITIAL PROBLEM WAS THE FUEL PUMP ACCORDING TO THE CHEVROLET DEALER. SINCE THIS HAPPENED TO ME I'VE HEARD OF TWO OTHER CHEVY PICKUPS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. *JB

CONSUMER STATED THAT VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM AS CHEVROLET SILVERADO RECALL 04V129000. THE TAILGATE CABLE BROKE, AND HE HAD IT REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY. HOWEVER CONSUMER WAS CONCERNED THAT IT MAY HAPPEN AGAIN.*AK THE CONSUMER WOULD LIKE THE STAINLESS STEEL CABLES. *TC

WHILE STANDING ON TOP OF THE TAILGATE ITS CABLE BROKE. DRIVER SUSTAINED MINOR INJURIES. CONSUMER CONTACTED THE DEALER. HOWEVER, THE CAUSE HAD NOT BEEN DETERMINED. *AK

I OWN A 2000 S-10 PICKUP I HAD THE TAILGATE OPEN AND I SAT ON IT AND THE TAILGATE STRAPS BROKE AND I FEEL TO THE GROUND I ALREADY HAVE BACK PROBLEMS AND WHEN I FELL I HURT MY BACK AND HAD TO HAVE TREATMENT DONE ON MY BACK BY MY CHIROPRACTOR. MY HUSBAND CALLED THE CHEVY COMPANY AND TOLD THEM THAT THE STRAPS BROKE AND ASKED IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON THEM THEY SAID YES BUT NOT ON THE S-10 ONLY ON THE SIERRAS AND SILVERADOS. THEY WOULD DO NOTHING TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM. SO I WENT INTO THE RECALL SITE AND IT SAID THEY HAD 42 COMPLAINTS ON THE S-10 AND SONOMAS ON THE 2000 YEAR I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY NOTHING IS BEING DONE TO FIX THESE IF THEY HAVE HAD THIS MANY COMPLAINTS I HAVE TALKED TO 2 OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM THEY SAID THEY JUST NEVER TOOK THE TIME TO FILE A COMPLAINT. SO HOW MANY OTHERS ARE THERE OUT THERE LIKE THIS ? I FEEL VERY STRONGLY THAT THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSABLE FOR FIXING THIS. THANK YOU BEVERLY USTASZEWSKI. *AK

THE SEAT RECLINER PIVOT ASSEMBLY MADE OF SOFT ALUMINUM AND DANGER TO PASSENGERS IN THIS CAR. THE SEAT RECLINER PIVOT ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED TWICE. *BF *SC

THE TAILGATE SUPPORT CABLES CORRODED AND BROKE. A RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR THE CABLES, HOWEVER THE VEHICLE WAS OUTSIDE OF THE REMEDY SCOPE. *JB BOTH OF THE SUPPORT CABLE ATTACHMENT ENDS SAT EXPOSED VERTICALLY WHEN THE TAILGATE WAS CLOSED ALLOWING MOISTURE TO ENTER THE CABLE ENDS. THE BLACK PLASTIC COATING ON THE CABLES ALLOWED MOISTURE TO COLLECT IN THE LOOP FORMED BY THE CABLES WHEN THE TAILGATE WAS CLOSED, TRAPPING THE MOISTURE IN WITH THE METAL CABLES CAUSING A CORROSION PROBLEM. *SC

PASSENGER SEAT DOESN NOT LOCK IN PLACE, CAUSING PASSENGER TO SLIDE IN TO DASH WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED.*AK
