2000 CHEVROLET S10 Complaints

WHEN APPLYING BRAKES TO STOP AND HIT SHARP BUMP IN THE ROAD BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR AND BRAKING IS SHARPLY DECREASED TO THE POINT WHERE I END UP ROLLING INTO THE INTERSECTION. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST TEN TIMES NOW AND ONLY THROUGH LUCK AND MY DRIVING SKILL HAVE I NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. BROUGHT BACK TO DEALER THREE TIMES, ONLY LAST TIME WAS SERVICE MANAGER ABLE TO DUPLICATE PROBLEM BUT EACH TIME DEALER HAS INFORMED ME THIS IS NORMAL ABS OPERATION. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM TO WHICH I HAVE SLOWED MY DRIVING DOWN CONSIDERABLY AND WILL NOT LET ANYONE ELSE DRIVE THE VEHICLE. STILL IT SCARES ME TO DEATH EVERYTIME IT HAPPENS.*AK

AUTOMOBILE STARTED PULLING TO THE RIGHT. AFTER LOOKING AT THE BRAKES, CONSUMER PULLED THEM, AND FOUND THAT THE PASSENGERS SIDE WERE WORN DOWN AND DRIVER SIDE WERE NOT. THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED AND THEY PULLED TO THE RIGHT, WHEN HE HEARD A DRAGGING NOISE.*AK *SCC

I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE SERVICE DEPT. TWICE, THEY SAY THEY CANNOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM, BUT IT STILL EXIST. NO SAFETY DEFECT MENTIONED. *JB *NLM *****DIMSII IVOQ ENTRY POSTED AFTER 12/12/02 CUT-OVER TO ARTEMIS****763562

PLASTIC SEAT LATCH AND ACTUATOR BREAKS VERY EASILY CAUSING THE SEAT TO BE IN THE WRONG POSITION POSSIBLY AT THE TIME OF THE BREAK. THE PASSENGER SIDE BROKE AT 32K THEN THE DRIVER'S SIDE BROKE AT 49K.TO FIX THE PROBLEM THE WHOLE SEAT HAS TO COME APART SO THE LABOR IS AROUND 2 HRS THEN COST AROUND $245 TO FIX AND SOON TO BREAK AGAIN. THE ACTUATOR NEEDS TO BE OF A STRONGER MATERIAL. A DISCUSSION PAGE FOR S-10 OWNERS ZR2.COM HAS 2 PAGES OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS ONE ITEM. THIS INFERIOR PLASTIC PART NEEDS TO BE RECALLED! GM DOES NOT WANT TO RECALL THIS BECAUSE THE S-10'S ARE NO LONGER IN PRODUCTION. PLEASE HELP US SOLVE THIS PROBLEM BY RECALLING THIS PART. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
