Truck has abs lights on when driving at lower speeds as soon as the fluids are not cold the check gushes light comes on and the oil pressure gauge needle drops until the throttle is again depressed. . . Also abs in rear shakes whole truck when going below 50mph and then continues up to 80mph before subsiding. The truck has serious steering issues constant leaks caused I'm sure my rack and pinion are worn down as well as now my tires and supension I have so many problems like the interior is crumbling to pieces the body has giant holes from improper painting options on this model I have over sized tire wells that are rusted completely out it make your company look silly for not making these vehicles better when they last people keep buying them again and again! seems like you probably use parts for many years on many models funny how every year including the year it was manufacturered there were recalls except for mine is that just because it's older.

The truck was occasionally not turning over. Tried things like turning fan on, radio, etc and it would start. Security light comes on or will blink. Truck now is not turning over at all. Dash lights blink and or come on when door opens. This is a problem I've seen all over internet, but nothing has worked. I think it should have a recall. I am paying for a dead truck now. Truck was stationary-won't start.

My truck slowly started getting worse. First, the dinging noise that your car makes qhen the keys are left in the ignition or if you leave your lights on, my truck would make this sound with no light on or key in ignition causing the battery to drain. Then the gauges started acting crazy, completely not working at times. Now my truck will not start, it turns over but something doesn't catch or fire. I have replaced the battery numerous times and the spark plugs are new.

The vehicle intermittently shuts off while driving. All power is lost. All lights on instrument panel come on as if the truck were just started. "service engine soon" light comes on. Sometimes the truck restarts and continues working and other times it stalls completely as if the key was turned off. This happens at random times and in random situations. We may be accelerating aggressively (merging into traffic) or driving smoothly at slower speeds. It is not consistent with road conditions, temperature or whether we are driving up or downs a hill, on the flats, going straight or around curves. It may happen twice within a mile then not again that day. Once it has staled completely, starting the engine can be difficult, like it is not getting fuel or electrical current to the engine. Fuel filter has been changed with no change in symptoms. Problem codes that come up when diagnosed are as follows. . . P1632 p0341 p0335 this problem has just begun to show itself in the past 6 weeks, maybe starting in early September, 2015. This is very disconcerting as this is my wife's commuter car and she does not feel safe in it at this point.

While traveling on i85 at 70 mph in the far left lane passing a car I hit the rumble strips on the shoulder and the truck lost all power. I was able to move to the shoulder on the right side of the road. Thinking I would not be able to restart the car to my surprise the car started back and I took off. I forgot about this until I recently heard of recent recalls.

Key in lock have to move it back and front 7 time to get it in start and key comes out in start run ass lock. . I saw on the new that from 1997 to 2015 bad key switchs.

I was returning to el paso from kerrville at night when the headlamps dimmed and the truck lost power most traffic was going 80 -85. It was scary.

It just stalled and the radio keeps going on and off once in a while, also the tires keep going flat on me and I put fix a flat in them and they still do the same. Electric problem I think it might be the relay not sure. But it has electric problems.

2003 chevy S10 zr-2 window stops working randomly is there a safety recall?.

The contact owns a 2003 Chevrolet s-10. The contact stated that when attempting to start the vehicle, it failed to turn on. The contact also stated that a clicking sound would come from the steering column when the failure occurred. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the technician diagnosed there was a possible ignition failure. No repairs were made to the vehicle. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

Speedometer quit working or showing 70 miles per hours sitting still. Car has 105,000 miles on it.

The reason there is so many accidents & deaths with cell phone use is the phone & auto makers don't really care. All that needs to be done is have the cell phone receive a signal from the vehicle speed sensor to interrupt or stop the incoming/outgoing cell phone signal as soon as the wheels on the car move. When the car is parked again the cell phone signal re-activates. Come on people with the electronic wizards we have today this would be a slam dunk. The phone &car makers may have to spend another dollar or 2,on safety but I think it is worth it . The "texting and talking violations would decrease also. I will be surprised if this is even read or forwarded the people that really care. All they care about today is $$$ . Please prove me wrong".

My speedometer and odometer has quit working. I am sure you have heard this complaint before but I believe that gm should fix this problem for free one for safety and another for the economic stress that it puts on gm vehicle owners from1997-2004 maybe even newer than that. The problem is that the speedometer either fluctuates or stops working completely and the odometer stops working at the same time, the only repair is to replace the entire instrument cluster, which is not cost effective to the consumer. The safety issue to is that if I can not determine my speed then I put me and many other drivers on the road in danger. Think about it if I am going to slow then a vehichle driving the speed limit on any road could possibly have to steer clear of me and or hit me. We all know the safety risk of speeding of course you could look up the statistics on injury-related crashes when a driver is doing 5-10mph over the limit. This concerns me, because I have worked at a gm dealership and gm charges 500-700 dollars to repair this issue most of which is labor related. I feel this should be investigated throughly because I put faith in gm motors by buying their products and working for them. I feel that this is just something that should have been corrected long ago in just my expierence I have worked on this 7 year span of diferent models of gm, and over that many years it should have been addressed. This problem could have been earlier than my timeline or later this is just from my expierence. You can check the offical gm TSB database under many models and find this bulliten, also many other TSB identifacation companies like alldata and find the same complaints on many different models it also effects the odometer so this pretty much denies you quality resale because dealerships know of this problem and there is no telling how long it went on that way, so they deem it past it's mechanical limits whether it reads 7,500 miles or 150,000 miles and to me this is unfair to us.

The ecm went out. Also had a problem earlier about 2-3 months ago. The cam sensor went out. This truck only has 60,000 miles on it.

A month ago my vehicle had a dash board light come on intermittently. It is the air bag light. During this period I took the vehicle to my mechanic, he placed it on the diagnostic and found nothing wrong at a cost of just under $100. The light has continued to come on and the vehicle has stalled twice during this time. I have searched the internet for recall notices for the dealership and have not had any success. I believe this could escalate into an accident, and I certainly cannot afford to have the vehicle at the mechanics or the dealership for days on end while they have no idea what the problem is. Chevrolet should take the vehicle in, give me a vehicle to drive until they solve the problem.

I am have the same problems everyone else is with gm's pass locksystem. I have a 2003 chevy S10 pick up. Security light comes on and wont start leaving me stranded. I have taken it to the dealership once and they reprogrammed the computer and that worked for 8 months. Now it wont start again at all.

2 complaints on this vechile 1> needs wiper module recalled, like previous model years (had to pay for this service) 2> both of my tailgate straps are broken. . Have seen several of these vechiles with same problems. Had to replace wiper module and tailgate straps.

Consumer turned to go up hill and vehicle didn't stall, but wanted to, as if it did not get enough fuel. This happened twice. Consumer says that when she applied brake, the vehicle revved and acted as if regaining power back then accelerated quickly. This happened about two weeks ago. Consumer shut vehicle off, and when started back it was fine. When attempting to get on freeway parkway west 279 in greentree, vehicle accelerated when consumer applied brake, hitting another vehicle in the rear. This happened a few days later.

Cruise control accelerating and can not be shut off. The consumer had four separate incidents with his vehicle in which cuise control starts accelorating and con not be shut off unless the consumer turns off vehicle.

Vehicle caught on fire while parked in the driveway. Local fire deptartment arrived to extinguish the fire. It was caused by an electrical short.

My S10 stalls contantly. Going 60 or going 15, doesnt matter. All gauges slam to zero and sometimes it restarts, sometimes it doesnt. I lose steering and its really dangerous. Happens on the freeway, I have to throw it into neutral and restart, sometimes it does, other times it doesnt. Incident date starting 6/25/04 and still currently happens. Started out once in a while. Now its a few times a day. Seems to happen a lot more in colder/moist weather.

2003 Chevrolet s-10 zr2's four wheel drive automatically engaged causing accidents. The vehicle was taken to the dealer but they were unable to find a problem. The transmission slipped. The engine would also miss. The vehicle also exhibited problem with the driver's side window, headlights, taillights, windshield wipers, cruise control and trim. The vehicle cruise control activated once while driving. The tailgate had to be adjusted.

1. While driving the truck at aproximately 65 mph with the cruise control and air conditioner on, but no radio the truck just died while I was in the outer lane of the highway. No noise, it just lost power and died. I manged to get the truck into the other lane and off the highway as it slowed down luckely with out injury to myself, my passanger or anyone else on the highway. 2. On a truck with no more then 48,362 miles I experienced transmission failure. According to the mechanic the transmission pump exploded with no apparent cause. All parts on the truck appear to be in new condition even though the vehical is 5 years old. Several of the original stickers from the factory are still visable with no sign of ware. I have all maintaince records on the truck available to show it has been properly maintained. The transmission flued and filter where not scheduled for maintaince until 50,000 miles. 3. The transmission had to be replaced on the truck and I have saved the old parts for examination. The mechanic noted that the original part was reordered but had been changed by the manufacture to a new part # due to problems with the old. Transmission parts where replaced with new general motors parts.

Fire loss to 2000 Chevrolet S10 blazer. Fire loss to 2002 Chevrolet express cargo van no known cause of fire to both vehicles. The vehicle spontaneously ignited a fire that destroyed the vehicle.

I bought the chevy with only 30,000 miles on it. But ever since the beginning the third brake light has never worked and I always replace the fuses and the little light bulbs. Also have had trouble with the transmission and have had it rebuilt and the radiator twice. I just have had more than enough problems with the truck I regret buying this truck.

Vehicle will just stop running. The fuel pump has been replaced. After being replaced it quit 15 miles from the dealership that repaired it. They could not diagnose. Vehicle will start again after sitting several hours. They told us to drive until it quit again. Frustrated, we took it to a more sophisticated dealership who also could not diagnose the problem and told us to drive it until it acted up again. The vehicle has quit 2 more times, but on the weekend but starts in a few hours.

The interior and exterior lights flickered intermittently. The dealership performed a diagnostic test, but no failure code was found. The manufacturer was aware of the problem, but no solution was found.
