3 Starter problem of the 2000 Chevrolet S10

Failure Date: 08/15/2008

Bought a 2000 chevy truck from a used car dealer in oct. 2005. It had approx. 92,000 miles on it. Over the last year I have had to replace the starter 3 times. With only approx. 35,000 miles being put on truck. In late may of 2008 we were told that flywheel had to be replaced also because it was the additional problem. Less than 2 months later starter is bad and now they are telling me that it might be a bad cam sensor. Dealership has told me that a service memo has gone out to mechanics. Who is responsible for the repairs and my loss time of work ? thank you for your help. Terry martin.

9 Starter problem of the 1998 Chevrolet S10

My truck has not failed but since I have owned this vehicle it has once in a while started with what seems like a starter drag, it will not do it all the time and there is no set time? I have had it back to the dealer twice and both times they could find nothing wrong. I have tried it after letting the vehicle for various times. . . . . 5 mins. ,all night ,etc.
