The driver's seat has not been working properly for several months. The seat will not stay locked in place and this has created a dangerous situation, especially in intersections, when the truck has been in motion. Now that this has happened several times, I've been especially careful & prepared to move the seat back forward so I can again reach the pedals. My solution for the time being - placing a wooden 2X4 piece behind the seat so it will stay fixed. It's working, but it IS very inconvenient getting into or out of the seat. will try to repair or take to a shop if a recall IS not mandated.

Center-vehicle mounted rear brake light melted its plastic housing which melted the wiring and mounts used to power the two lightbulbs in the center brake light, resulting in no functioning center brake light. This also made the interior light fall out of the roof as it IS attached to the same plastic housing. Only apparent fix IS to replace the entire old melted center brake light housing with a new one. Occurred under normal use with manufacturer recommended light bulbs in use.

The brake lines burst while driving down the road under normal driving conditions and the brakes failed resulting in no braking power. Inspection by a mechanic determined that the brake lines had suddenly failed during braking and the fluid had drained out resulting in an immediate loss of braking power during my braking. Was driving at about 30 mph on a city street when I started to brake and they failed, was able to stop without injury due to manual transmission engine braking and a very bad parking brake.

In 2011 my husband was involved in an accident where a person turned in front of him as he was driving about 35 mph (according to the police report). His airbag did not deploy as it should have, and since that time he has suffered serious back problems. I wrote to chevy customer relations at the time, and was never given a satisfactory answer. After multiple letters and e-mails I finally gave up. Since that time my husband has had to take tylenol with codeine every single day simply to be able to accomplish day-to-day tasks. *tr

Driving normally, pressed the brake pedal and it went to the floor; fortunately, I was close to home and no traffic that I managed to roll slowly home. Rusty brake lines causing brake fluid to leak by driver side door. Tried brakes again- totally not functional. Ironically read article about gm's problem with rusty break lines in their older model trucks. Making it a point to notify nhtsa that this problem affects S-10S as well as the bigger models. Conversations with friends indicate to me that this effects a lot of drivers. All gm truck owners should be alerted to problem. Under different conditions with higher speeds or traffic or pedestrians, this could have turned into a catastrophe. *tr

TL* the contact owns a 2000 chevrolet S10. Upon inspecting the vehicle, it was noticed that the front frame was cracked and deteriorated to the point that it may fracture. The contact stated that cracks developed on the frame and the motor mount was not welded to the frame properly. The cracking progressed to the point that the frame was also deteriorating on the front driver and passenger sides. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer who diagnosed that the frame should have been welded all the way around the vehicle and it was only welded at the top. The dealer diagnosed that the front framing needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was not available.

Cable straps that hold the tailgate horizontal to the ground when the tailgate IS in the down position have rusted through and will no longer hold the tailgate in the horizontal position. there was a recall on this in approximately june of 2006. I received a card in the mail, took the vehicle in to the chevrolet dealer, and they advised me that parts were not available. This happened twice. I kind of gave up, until I discovered the part failure earlier this year. Unfortunately I have misplaced my card that they sent in the mail. Upon failure of this part, I took my vehicle in to a chevrolet dealer in september of 2014. They knew about the recall, so ran my vin # and said my vehicle vin# was not part of the recall. perhaps general motors didn't recall enough of the vin#s to find all of the part failures. *tr

I purchased this vehicle from our local chevrolet dealer on 10/04/2014. I filled the fuel tank on 10/06/2014 and drove it to my residence (about 15 miles.) when I got home, I noticed there was a streak of a liquid on my driveway when I was backing into my garage. I got out of my truck and noticed a fuel smell and got a trouble light to see if I could determine the source. it was running out below the fuel tank. I then took my floor jack and jacked up the vehicle so I could get a bucket under it to catch the fuel that was running on to the floor. I collected about 1 1/2 gallons. I called the dealer the next morning and they say I am obligated to pay to repair the truck. *tr

My ABS and emergency brake lights have been on ever sense I have bought the truck (mid 2014) and I can't seem to figure out why. I have read several places that say that some of the solder points in the ABS module have probably cracked and need to be repaired if it throws a certain code (and mine does). Haven't had the time or money to fix the problem as my truck IS my daily driver. Have noticed some slight pulsing in the brakes when stopping, but not enough to annoy you. The lights on the dash will annoy you though. I have also been chasing several vacuum leaks. One was by the brake master cylinder and another (from inside the cab) sounds like it's right above the transmission housing at the back of the engine (where you can't see). It's so bad that when I first start the engine and start to drive at 1/2 throttle, it has absolutely no power, but then picks back up again after about a 1/4 mile with no power. Because of the vacuum leak, I'm guessing, it sounds like I have a turbo on the truck from inside the cab. If you turn the radio off, you can definitely hear it. *tr

General motors IS conducting a special policy program for 903,464 owners of 2000 - 2003 model s/t vehicles through which owners may, at their option, either (1) periodically inspect the tailgate support cables installed in their vehicle and have the cables replaced if the cable coating exhibits any indications of damage or deterioration or (2) request that the tailgate support cables be replaced free of charge. Gm will honor all requests by owners who opt for replacement without question regardless of the condition or appearance of the cables. Gm has agreed to mail reminder notifications to owners every two years until the tailgate support cables have been replaced or until the vehicle IS 12 years old.odi's investigation indicates that a significant majority of the reported complaints (87%) and injuries (94%) have occurred in my 2000 - 2003 s/t vehicles.

Odi IS upgrading rq04-012 and opening an ea to investigate the tailgate support cables installed in 1998 - 2004 model year sonoma and S10 model vehicles.general motors IS conducting recall campaign 04v-129 to replace the tailgate support cables originally installed in certain model year 2000-2004 sierras and silverados and certain model year 2002-2004 avalanches and escalade exts (c/k models).general motors has advised odithat the tailgate support cables installed in the subject vehicles were fabricated using identical or similar sheathing material as the recalled vehicles.however,general motors has advised odi that sonoma and S-10 vehicles differ from c/k models in several ways: the vehicle height IS lower; the tailgate displacement (drop) when not supported by the cables IS smaller and the tailgate comes to rest at a less severe tip angle when not supported by the cables; the tailgate mass IS smaller; and the size, payload, and usage characteristcis are less demanding than c/k model vehicles.gm also stated that sonoma and S-10 warranty claim information indicates a lower claim count and a lower claim rate than recalled c/k models.notwithstanding the above information, odi has received an additional 73 non-injury complaints and 10 injury complaints on the subject vehicles during rq04-012 (since november 2004 to date), which justifies opening an engineering analysis to further investigate this issue.

Odi opened pe02-066 to evaluate the scope and consequence of engine power-loss due to fuel starvation induced by in-tank modular fuel pump strainer restriction.the subject pumps use an external ?sock? Strainer to filter fuel flowing to the pump inlet.this filter can sometimes become clogged, resulting in a reduced flow of fuel to the engine.gm has subsequently modified the strainers to reduce this restriction.analysis of the odi complaint database shows that despite these restrictions, the subject vehicles stall at a rate that IS comparable to those of many peer vehicles.additionally, none of the relevant warranty repair rates exceed 1% at 36 months of exposure.one related crash involves a stalled vehicle that was rear-ended on the roadway, while the remainder involved minor collisions or scrapes.the sole injury consisted of bruising from a low speed frontal crash. Given these circumstances, further expenditure of agency resources IS not justified in this matter.the preliminary evaluation IS therefore closed.the closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by nhtsa that no safety-related defect exists.the agency will take further action in the future if warranted.
