I'm having a problem with I believe it's the fuel sensor my truck gets up to a certain temperature and it just dies and it's not just my truck it's in a lot of the newer model colorado's as well I have a friend who's having the same exact problem as I am when it gets up past 95 degrees, the truck just all of a sudden stops in the engine turns off, and you have to try and steer your truck without any power steering, the reason I am filing this is if this happens in the middle of the road it could possibly cause an accident and that would be no good and it only happens when it is hot outside in the winter time or when it's cold I have no issues whatsoever.

2003 chevy S10 has been maintained and taking care of. Brakes in rear were sticking due to factory defective abs control module. Rear wheel bearing gave out and started leaking axle fluid cause of a sticking drivers side brake from abs control module malfunctioning. After much cost of replacing calipers and brake pads the culprit from a defectively abs control module making the brake caliper stick to the rotor. . Next the coolant leaks from the intake manifold gasket and now the heater core leaks… this truck has only 146k miles on it and I always taking care of it keeping up before it’s schedule maintenance. But what I see is poor defective parts from gm. So I have to make sure I get this work done and keep the coolant filled or there be a motor issue from overheating. This is a safety concern and if the heater core leaks then breathing the toxic coolants isn’t safe at all when the ac is on or no heat in winter!. Now gm discontinued making the S10 in north America but redesigned a front wheel drive diesel version in south America.

2003 Chevrolet S10. Consumer writes in regards to electrical issues. * ld the consumer stated then the engine hot, and he came to a stop, the oil pressure gauge dropped below normal.

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 vaccum 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 vaccum 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.

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.

For years my chevy s-10 1996 2wd truck would suddenly shut off on the road often at highway speeds. Chevy looked at the truck many times and always said they couldnt duplicate the problem. One time they talked me into a brand new transmission at 36100 miles. They didnt honor the warranty even though they said that the transmission was the shutoff problem and happened before the 36k warranty limit. That cost me nearly 4000 dollars. They truck continued to shut itself off while driving for years. It wasnt till a mechanic not affliated with gm told me to stop using more than one key on my keychain. This gm ignition recall goes way beyond 2005 and cobalts. It goes back to early 90's s-10 trucks. Now we should know why gm never accepted responsibilty for my truck and dropped the s-10 in the mid 2000's.
