2001 CHEVROLET S10 Complaints

WHILE DRIVING AT 55/70 MPH VEHICLE WILL STALL OUT WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER, FUEL PUMP, AND SENDING UNIT.*AK

WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED, THE STABILIZER BAR RUBBED THE TIRE, WHICH CAUSED THE TIRE TO WEAR OUT PREMATURELY. DEALER NOTIFIED. *AK THE CONSUMER NOTICED A RUB ON BOTH SIDES OF THE STABILIZER BAR WHICH WAS MOST ON THE LEFT SIDE. FURTHER INVESTIGATION SHOWED THE STABILIZER BAR WAS SHOVED AN INCH OUT OF IT'S BRACKET. THERE WAS A HARD LEFT PULL WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN. THE TRUCK WAS LIFTED OFF THE GROUND AND THE CONSUMER POINTED OUT THE RUB MARKS ON THE STABILIZER BAR AND ALSO SHOWED HOW THE BAR HAD BEEN SHOVED OUT OF IT'S HOLDING BRACKET. THE SERVICE DEALER SUGGESTED THE PROBLEM WAS A DESIGN FLAW BY SHOWING THE CONSUMER ANOTHER VEHICLE (SAME MAKE/MODEL) WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. *SCC *JB

I'D LIKE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE SPARE TIRE ON MY 2001 CHEVROLET S-10 EXTREME BREAKING THE WIRE CABLE AND FALLING OFF. AFTER HITTING A RAILROAD TRACK, IT CAME OFF UNEXPECTEDLY. FORTUNATELY FOR US, IT DID NOT CAUSE ANY DAMAGE TO THE TRUCK OR HIT ANY CARS IN THE AREA, AFTER IT BROKE FREE AND TRAVELED OVER 50 YARDS ACROSS A BUSY HIGHWAY. SINCE THE SPARE IS APPROXIMATELY 50 LBS AND 30 INCHES IN DIAMETER, IT COULD HAVE CAUSED SOME VERY SERIOUS PROBLEMS. THIS IS DEFINITELY A DESIGN PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. IT'S POSSIBLE THE CABLE HOLDING THE SPARE SHOULD BE REPLACED WITH SOMETHING HEAVIER. *NLM

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
