1998 CHEVROLET S10 Complaints

THE EASY ENTRY SEAT FOR EXTENDED CAB ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DOES NOT LATCH CORRECTLY. WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED YOU HAVE A BETTER THAN 50/50 CHANCE OF THE PASSENGER IN THIS SEAT BEING THROWN FORWARD INTO THE DASH. TIS FIRST HAPPEN THE FIRST TIME A PERSON SAT IN THE SEAT (3RD DAY OF OWNERSHIP) THE SEAT TRACK WAS THEN REPLACED AND NOW IS BEING REPLACED A SECOND TIME BY THE DEALER BECUASE IT HAS NEVER WORKED CORRECTLY. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND I SEE THAT IT HAS BEEN REPORTED SEVERAL TIMES ON THIS SITE. HAS THERE BEEN A DESIGN CHANGE AND RECALL ON THIS?

ANY SHARP TURN AT LOW SPEEDS ACTIVATES THE ABS. I.E TURNING INTO A PARKING SPACE. THE DEALER SAID IT WAS BECAUSE THE TIRES WERE OLD. THE TIRE STORE SAYS THE TIRES ARE FINE. I HAVE READ ON THE WEB ABOUT OTHERS HAVING THIS PROBLEM TOO. *AK

ANTI-LOCK BRAKES ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. NO WARNING LIGHTS COME ON. WHEN BRAKE PEDAL IS PRESSED HARD, THE VEHICLE DOES NOT STOP WELL AND A LOUD NOISE IS HEARD FROM THE LMASTER CYLINDER AREA. *YH

WE HAD A FLAT TIRE DUE TO A NAIL AND TOOK IT TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP. HE SAID HE WOULD NOT PATCH THE HOLE BECAUSE BOTH REAR TIRES WHERE SHOWING TREAD SEPARATION AND HE DID NOT WANT TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR AN ACCIDENT WHEN THE TIRE FAILED. I WENT TO A UNIROYAL DEALER AND THEY WOULD ONLY CREDIT ME 40% OF THE COST OF NEW TIRES. THEY ARE DEFECTIVE TIRES AND I DO NOT FEEL RESPONSIBLE TO PAY TO HAVE A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT REPLACED. WE OBVIOUSLY NEED THESE REPLACED IMMEDIATELY AS WE ARE TRAVELING TO FLORIDA WITH A TRAILER THIS SUNDAY AND I AM NOT SURE WHAT TO DO. AM I ENTITLED TO HAVE THESE REPLACED FREE OR NOT. THE TIRE TREAD IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND SHOULD NOT NEED TO BE REPLACED AT THIS TIME. (TIRESIZE: P20575R15)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P20575R15 )
