1998 CHEVROLET S10 Complaints

I HAVE BROUGHT MY TRUCK INTO SEWELL CADILAC TO HAVE IT CHECK "SEVERAL TIME" AND I KEEP GETTING THE SAME RUIN AROUND. I TOLD THEM THAT I HEAR A GRINDING NOISE LIKE "METAL TO METAL" AND I HAVE BEEN CONCERNED THAT IT WAS THE CLUTCH PLATE. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS NOW, AND THEY TELL ME THAT THEY CAN NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THEY SAID THEY DON'T HEAR ANY NOISE, AND THEY AREN'T GOING TO GO INTO THE TRANSMISSION TO CHECK IT OUT. I HAVE HAD BOTH SEAT HANDLES REPLACED BECAUSE THEY HAVE JUST SHEARED OFF AT THE METAL, AND THEY ARE BOTH STARTING TO GET DIFFICULT TO USE AGAIN. I DON'T THINK IT WILL BE MUCH LONGER BEFORE THEY BREAK AGAIN. *AK

WINDSHIELD WIPERS.THIS IS EVIDENTUALLY A DEFECTIVE PART IF IT FAILS WITHIN 3YRS, AND IS REPLACED AT OWNER EXPENSE, SOMETIMES GOING THROUGH SEVERAL EXPENSE BEFORE CORRECTED. COMPONET "WIPER MOGULAR" FAILS CAUSING ON VISABILITY WITH RAIN, FOG-UP, ETC. WHILE VEHICLE IS MOVING, CAUSING TOTAL SUPRISE AND EMERGENCY ACTION TO AVOID COLLISION, RUN OFF ROAD, AS YOU CANNOT SEE. SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE AS SOME DRIVERS CANNOT REACT SAFELY. THANKS. *AK

CONSUMER WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 20MPH ON A SIDE STREET AND HEARD A NOISE FROM UNDERNEATH VEHICLE COMING FROM BRAKES. IT WAS METAL TO METAL NOISE. DEALERSHIP WAS AWARE OF PROBLEM. THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT. *AK

I HAVE A 1998 CHEVY S-10 EXTENDED CAB TRUCK THAT I HAVE OWNED SINCE 1999 AND BOUGHT NEW. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE CLUTCH 1.050 PART NUMBER 15723124 TWICE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND NOW THE PASSENGER SIDE CLUTCH WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE METAL ROD THAT THE PLASTIC HANDLE SCREWS INTO BREAKS. I DO NOT USE EXCESSIVE FORCE ON THIS HANDLE...THE METAL THAT IS USED IN THE CONNECTING ROD LOOKS TO HAVE AIR BUBBLES IN IT AND IS CHEAPLY FORGED. I HAVE HAD TO PAY $129 TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED THE LAST TIME(2ND TIME), THE FIRST TIME IT WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I WILL BE HAVING TO PAY ANOTHER $129 TO HAVE THE PASSENGER SIDE CLUTCH REPLACED DUE TO THE FAILURE OF A PIECE THAT IS AT COST WORTH $5.00.*AK

CONSUMER'S VEHICLE WAS REARENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. DURING CRASH, FRONT PASSENGER SEAT DID NOT REMAIN LOCKED INTO POSITION AND SLID FORWARD INTO DASHBOARD. THERE WAS NOT A PASSENGER IN SEAT WHEN IT OCCURRED. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION/ATTACHMENTS.*AK

FUEL INJECTION WENT OUT ON MY TRUCK THE FIRST TIME RIGHT AT 36,500 MILES GIVE OR TAKE A FEW AND NOW IT IS ACTING UP AGAIN AFTER I REPLACED IT. *AK

WHILE DRIVING SERPENTINE BELT BROKE, CAUSING LOSS OF POWER STEERING CONTROL.PLEASE GIVE ANY FURTHER DETAILS.*AK

VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MECHANIC FOR SERVICE, ENGINE CHECK LIGHT BEING ON, MECHANIC FOUND FUEL BEING PUSHED THROUGH WIRING AND INTO COMPUTER. VEHICLE HAD A 4.3 VORTEX ENGINE. MECHANIC BELIEVED PRESSURE REGULATER TO BE AT FAULT. *AK WHEN THE COMPUTER WAS UNPLAGGED GASOLINE RAN OUT OF PCM DUE TO INJECTOR ASSEMBLY FAILURE. *YH

OIL WAS LEAKING FROM FUEL LINE ONTO ENGINE COMPARTMENT. SERVICE DEPARTMENT DID SEE A COMMON PROBLEM IN MOST OF CHEVROLET, S10'S WITH REMOTE OIL FILTER. WHEREVER THERE WAS A CRIMP IN LINE STARTED A OIL LEAK. THEY HAVE CHANGED PART 3 TIMES TO FIND A REMEDY.*AK THE LEAK OCCURS IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT NEAR THE EXHAUST HEATED PIPES. *SLC

STEERING HAD EXCESSIVE PLAY, VIRING EITHER WAY, THE STEERING GREAR BOX NEEDED TO BE REPLACE. JOHN L. SULLIVAN SOLD US THE TRUCK IN THAT CONDITION. WHEN QUESTIONED ABOUT THE PLAY IN THE STEERING, THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. HOWEVER ONCE I LOST CONTROL OF THE TRUCK I THEN KNEW THAT THERE HAD TO BE SOMETHING WRONG. SO I TOOK IT DIRECTLY TO WOODARD CHEVROLET, (THE CLOEST DEALERSHIP) WERE THEY REPAIRED IT ONCE THE PART WERE AVAILABLE.
