1996 CHEVROLET S10 Complaints

I AM THE OWNER OF A 1996 CHEVROLET S10, AND READ SOME OF THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT SPARE TIRE SEPARATION FROM VEHICLE DUE TO STEEL CABLE RUBBING AGAINST THE SPARE TIRE. I CHECKED MY TRUCK AND 3 STRANDS OF THE CABLE HAD SEPARATED, AND IT LOOKED LIKE THE CABLE WAS NEARLY AT THE HALF WAY POINT. I CHECKED WITH THE LOCAL DEALER, AND WAS TOLD THAT I COULD PURCHASE A NEW ONE FOR APPROXIMATELY $50.00. THIS NEW HOIST CABLE ASSEMBLY IS A NEW DESIGN, AND SHOULD NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. WHAT MAKES ME MAD IS THAT WE ARE NOT BEING NOTIFIED ABOUT THIS POTENTIAL PROBLEM. WHEN I CHECKED MY OWNERS MANUAL, IT SHOWS THE NEW IMPROVED HOIST ASSEMBLY. NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED, BUT IT WAS JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE IT WOULD HAVE OCCURRED. *NLM

THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT WOULD CLICK IN BUT WHEN THE CONSUMER HIT THE RELEASE BUTTON IT WOULD NOT UNLATCH. THE CONSUMER HAD TO PULL AND JERK ON THE SEAT BELT IN ORDER TO GET IT UNFASTENED. *NLM

EVER SINCE I HAVE HAD MY TRUCK THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS HAVE BEEN VERY INCONSISTANT. SOMETIMES THEY TURN ON WHEN I WANT THEM TO, AND SOMETIMES THEY DO NOT TURN ON. EVEN WHEN THEY DO TURN ON THEY TURN OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF USE. THIS HAS BECOME A GREAT HASSLE FOR ME, BECAUSE WHEN THEY DO NOT TURN ON WHEN IT IS RAINING MY VISIBILITY IS VERY RESTRICTED. THIS HAS BEEN VERY DANGEROUS, FOR EXAMPLE, ONE TIME I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND IT WAS POURING DOWN RAIN AND MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING, AND I COULD HARDLY SEE THE ROAD IN FRONT OF ME.

THE WINDSHIELD WIPER COMES ON AND OFF INTERMITTENLY. AND THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING. THE DEALERSHIP IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. TS

THERE IS A RECALL CAMPAIGN, 98V150, REGARDING THE FAILURE OF YHE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR, HOWEVER CONSUMERS VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED DUE TO VIN. *JG

AFTER DEALER REPLACED SWITCH FOR ABS RECALL 99 V 193 000. ANTI LOCK BRAKES FAILED TO OPERATE WHILE DRIVING.*AK
