2000 CHEVROLET S10 Complaints

WHILE APPLYING BRAKES PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR, RESULTING IN EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE, AND CAUSING A COLLISION. VEHICLE HAS BEEN REPAIRED BY THE DEALER.*AK THE DEALER CAULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKE. *YH

CONSUMER SLAMMED ON BRAKES TO AVOID ANOTHER CAR IN FRONT, AND DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT RETRACTOR DID NOT CATCH PROPERLY.*AK THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER COULD NOT HELP THE CONSUMER AND THE SEAT BELT IS STILL NOT TIGHT AROUND THE WAIST WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED. *YH

DRIVER WAS GOING UP HILL ON GRAVEL ROAD AND SHIFTED INTO 3RD GEAR , DRIVER HEARD ENGINE REV HIGH. LET FOOT OFF THE ACCELRATOR AND VEHICLE DID NOT STOP. APPLIED BRAKES ,REAR WHEEL STILL SPINNING, CAUSING DRIVER TO LOSE CONTROL OF VEHICLE, AND ROLL OVER 2-3 TIMES. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

CRUISE CONTROL CANNOT BE SHUT OFF VIA BRAKE, ONLY VIA MASTER ON/OFF SWITCH. YESTERDAY, EVEN THE MASTER SWITCH WOULD NOT CUT OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL AND IT STUCK IN THE ACCELERATE POSITION CAUSING A RUN AWAY VEHICLE SITUATION. I HAD TO SMOKE THE BRAKES TO STOP AN KILL ENGINE. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TOWED TO LOCAL CHEVY DEALERSHIP. THIS HAPENED FIRST WHEN THE TRUCK WAS ONLY 2 WEEKS OLD AND THEN AGAIN YESTERDAY TWICE. YESTERDAY WAS THE FIRST TIME FOR THE MASTER SWITCH TO FAIL ALSO. VERY DANGEROUS!!! F. *AK

THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS NOT SHUTTING OFF WITH APPLICATION OF THE BRAKE PEDAL ONLY THE MASTER ON/OFF SWITCH, HOWEVER THE ON/OFF SWITCH FAILED TO SHUT OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL RESULTING IN SUDDEN ACCELERATION. *MJS

WHEN APPLYING BRAKES ON SMALL BUMPS IN THE ROAD OR UNEVEN SURFACE, THE ABS WILL ENGAGE, CAUSING THE PEDAL TO DROP AND A DECREASE IN STOPPING ABILITY RESULTS. *AK

RECLINER LATCH HAS BROKEN TWICE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, AND THREE TIMES ON DRIVER'S SIDE. SEAT ALSO SLID FORWARD WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED. DEALER HAS BEEN CONTACTED.*AK *SLC

CABLE WHICH HELD SPARE TIRE IN PLACE UNDERNEATH OF VEHICLE BROKE WHILE TRAVELING AT 40-45 MPH, TIRE FELL OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF ROAD, WAS ABLE TO RETRIEVE TIRE WITHOUT AN INCIDENT; DEALER NOTIFIED, AND WILL BE SENDING A REPLACING PART. ALSO, PARTS ARE AVAILABLE FOR ANAYLSIS UPON REQUEST.*AK

FAILURE IS NOT PERMANENT. ABS CAUSES BRAKES TO SHUT OFF FOR ABOUT 1 SECOND ON ONE OR MORE WHEELS, CAUSING VEHICLE TO EITHER SUDDENLY SWERVE TO ONE SIDE, POSSIBLY ENTERING ONCOMING TRAFFIC, OR EXTENDS STOPPING DISTANCE SO VEHICLE ROLLS INTO INTERSECTION. INITIATED BY SHARP BUMPS , PARTICULARLY POTHOLES. NOT CONSISTENT, HARD TO REPRODUCE IF ATTEMPTING TO. SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS HAVE CONFIRMED TO ME THAT THEY ALSO HAVE SEEN THIS. NO ACCIDENT YET, THREE NEAR ACCIDENTS, INCLUDING SWERVE IN TO OPPOSITE TRAFFIC LANE (NO ONCOMING TRAFFIC JUST THEN). UNPREDICTABLE AND TRICKY PROBLEM, HITS WHEN YOU ARE NOT EXPECTING IT.

WHEN DRIVING DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT LOCKING MECHANISM IS NOT SECURED. CONSUMER HAD HIS VEHICLE IN DEALERSHIP MORE THAN ONCE. *AK
