Four problems related to steering gear box have been reported for the 1998 Chevrolet S10. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
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.
Steering pull to the right. Got it repair but I think it'll happen again. 3rd door handle broke off. . Look like they were made very cheap and I think it 'll broke agian. They should use metal to make door handles.
This vehicle pulls to the right and wanders. It has had a frontend allignment 3 times, tires rotated, the gearbox has been adjusted and replaced. The dealer which is woking on it (seberger Chevrolet in centralia IL). They say that they have 4 or 5 like this and no one knows how to correct it not even Chevrolet. Within 3000 miles this vehicle has been in the shop 4 times. I know longer feel safe driving this vehicle and know no one will do anything about it. Chevrolet keeps giving the dealer the runaround keeping me waiting with a vehicle that, to me is unsafe.
Steering if let go it would take off to the right. Would have to keep steering to the left. Dealer contacted and aligned truck 17 times, in for repairs 8 times for same problem. Dealer cannot duplicate the problem.
