Takata inflators--air bag light is on and stays on even after i had already had it reset,the dome light blows fuses more than it should sometimes 3-4 times a month,the blinkers act funny sometimes and the seat belts hang up and u have to pull on them a few times to get them to release so you can buckle them,the transmission grinds when you put it into reverse,the clutch fan came apart and i had to replace it and most of this happened when i was sitting still i have the recall#'s(n970033--n980043/nhtsa#98v150
The airbag light constantly stays on.the dealer says the aced derm needs to be replaced at a cost of approximately $450.00.the owner's manual states if the airbag light stays on, one should contact the dealer.i pulled the fuse so the airbag wouldn't deploy unexpectedly and as such i haven't had the protection provided by an airbag.i feel the computer modules should be replaced by the manufacturer at no cost to me since they should last longer than 27,000 miles. If the bag accidently deploys while i'm driving, it could cause an accident with injuries to me, my passengers or other persons.i feel a malfunctioning airbag system is a serious safety hazard and should be repaired by the vehicle manufacturer or the airbag manufacturer.

I had been noticing my brakes felt soft i called the dealer, and they said there were no problems, then last week my wife was driving it and the brakes failed and she was in a bad wreck and the air bags did not deploy.
Air bag did not deploy after rear end impact from a1 1/2 ton box truck and subsequent impact into another parked vehicle directly in front of the impacted vechicle, probably at a high rate of speed from parked to immediate acceleration. Air bag did not deploy upon impact into car directly in front of impacted vehicle. Although seat belts were used, in a rear end impact, the thrust of weight is to the rear which makes seat belts fundamentally useless in restraining body weight towards the rear. Additionally, impact with the vehicle directly in front of me resulted in 200 pounds of weight suddently and dramatically being thrust foward which did not prevent injury to my head, back, leg and arm.

The coolant used in the cooling system is dex-cool.then engine overheated, so i decided to add more dex-cool.when i opened up the radiator, i noticed this rust-colored dirt-like substance packed inside the radiator.when the dealer that serviced my truck inspected the cooling system, every component had this substance packed in it (water pump, heating core, thermostat, all hoses, radiator, engine block, etc.).they could not clean this substance out of the components and had to replace the whole cooling system. Furthermore,inspection of the components of the cooling system shows that they are in perfect working condition other than the substance that can not be removed.the substance is not rust or corrosion because the components are not rusted or corroded.this substance, in my opinion, is solidification of the dex-cool coolant.i currently have all the components that were replaced, as well as the substance that still remains inside them. According to the manual of my truck, the cooling system using dex-cool requires no service for 100,000 miles.previous to this incident, the radiator was never opened.i had only added dex-cool to the overflow container to maintain the proper coolant level.the dealer where i had my truck serviced (dudley martin chevrolet, manassas, va) had no explanation as to what has caused this.i contacted gm customer service and they have provided little help and no explanation.i previously filled out a questionnaire, describing this exact problem.i received an odi# 700836.it is now 6 months later and this exact same problem is starting to occur in the replaced components.this is a serious reoccurring problem that needs to be resolved.

I own a 1995 s10 (4x4) pick up. I purchased this vehicle new in 1994. I had to replaced the remote oil filter lines 3 times!!! my third set is currently leaking. The remote oil filter lines fail where the rubber hose is crimped to the aluminum tubing. This is a very poor design. Apparently, chevy doesn't acknowledge the problem.
Oil lines from the oil filter houseing to the radatior have a section of rubber line.at the fittings from steel lines to rubber they leak oil just wondering if this is a common problum? thank you.

Engine pistons malfunctioned, causing a clucking noise, and may have caused the engine to sieze. Thiscould result in a crash.please provide further information.
On and about april 15th of 1999, i had my oil changed at my service station. They told me that i was low on coolant and they spotted a leak on the outside of the cylinder head. This leak was very small and almost un-noticeable. I had them fill the coolant tank and continued to monitor the problem. I contacted my chevrolet dealer and was told that the truck had just gone out of warranty. Since that time the leaking problem has continued to get worse. I have been able to find out that there have been "many" reports of this same problem. I work for a napa auto parts store and our machine shop is a member of a national company that has specification stats for engines and they have a bulletin issued on my problem which states it is a casting problem that was caused when the cylinder heads were manufactured. I really do believe that gm knows about this and should make good for repairs. It has nothing to do with maintenance. It is a flaw in the casting of the head!
During a regular state safety inspection, it was discovered that my engine had coolant leakage from the head gasket.repair will entail removal and machining of the head, at a cost of $750.00.this is a common problem with the 2.2 litre chevrolet engine and has been the subject of a technical advisory for the 2.2 litre engines installed in cavaliers, but not those installed in the s-10.since this is an engine design defect, i believe that gm should treat the s-10 problems in the same manner in which it does the cavalier problem.

Twice under warranty i had gm fix an oil leak from the oil pan gasket and the third time it was out of warranty so gm would not work on it.the oil leak has gotten worse.i feel since the problem was noticed at 12k miles and a new gasket put on and at 32k miles gm again worked on it but just torqueing the oil pan bolts tighter that they should be held accountable!they told me there would not be a problem after the warranty ran out to follow up on any further leaks!well, after warranty it began to leak again but this time i hit a "wall" with gm!they will not work on it at their cost!this was a problem early in the vehicle's history and persisted.oil is a vital need for an engine to perform... You would think that such a leak would be looked into rather than ignored or shrugged at.please help me with this.my truck is now rolling into the 75k mile range and i would like it to last longer but won't with this very costly repair.

When you take your foot of the accelerater to slow down or turn a corner your engine dies leaving you with no brakes. You step on the brake and it is like stepping on a rock. You cannot stop the vechicle. After talking to two gm service centers, i was told the problem was a defective egr valve. They both have had to replace them in the past. Gm has recalls and service bulletins on the v style engine, but not the z style which i own. Gm knows they have a problem and refuse to do anything about it.

Uv joints/oxygen sensor/fuel injector/transfer case seals/windshield wiper motor/speedometer and catalytic converter failed.
From what i have been able to find out, there is a carbon build up in the engine, and when some of this carbon flakes off it causes the egr valve to stick open slightly. This in turn causes the engine idle very erratically and most of the time causes the engie to stall. This always occurs when slwoing down and stopping which is quite the safety hazard as when the vehicle begins to lose power and stall all the power options such as steering and brakes are also lost.this has almost caused me to rear end people numerous times especially in situations when i have had to stop quickly.i was informed by my mechanic that this actually a recall and wheni contacted chevrolet they said it was not an official recall but if my vehicle had less than 75,000 miles on it i could have the problem fixed. Of course i had more than 75,000 miles and so they refused to do anything.other than this my truck runs great and i like it but it will cost approximately $700-$1000 to have this fixed and in all honesty it is not my fault that my truck did not break until after the 75,000 mark. Instead i am being forced to get a new vehicle and spend money i should not have to because the truck is unsafe to drive and the reapirs are to expensive in comparison to the actual value of the truck.
1995 chevrolet s10 developed a problem with the egr valve clogging as well as problems with the brakes.***no answer required***. *mrthe manufacturer fixed this problem about twoyears ago but it has failed again.this is the fourth time it has failed.
Received a letter from gmc several years ago, but due to mileage they won't repair without cost to me.i have already repaired this egr valve 4 times and i'm not even done paying for the vehicle yet.computer was adjusted to open the valve further so the problem doesn't happen again.well, didn't work it's still happening and i can't see sinking the money into this again.gm knows the problem exists, but they refuse to do anything to help.
Failure of the e.g.r.value almost cause a wreak, becausethe braking system, became inorperble.also there was no warning giving to me by any of the vehicules warning devices.fortunally i was able to steer to the right and miss the vehicul in front of me.at no time did a warning come on to let me know that i had no brakes.now i understand that if the e.g.r.value gets carbon inlodge in it this is what will happen.because you have a internal vaccum leak, resulting in the lost of the ability of your braking system to properly working.this time my wife and i were lucky, i hope this will never happen again, altho there is no guarantee it won't.
Power assist brakes has failed 4 times when applied. Carbon seems to build up in egr valve. Mechanic indicated that it needs to be clean it out or by just driving vehicle would do it.
Vehicle has a bad (egr) valve. When enginecheck light comes on,anti-lock brakes will not work properly. Dealer has been contacted.
While driving 45 to 50 mph and applying the brakes while coming to a red light,the brake pedal was hard, and the egr valve locked uo, causing the power brakes not to work.
Head gasket leak / egr failure @ 95000.
The egr system continualy failed numerous times. When this failure happened, the idle would flucuate wildly resulting in the loss of the engine vacuum and the loss of power brakes. This happened over 5 times, thankfully on uncrowded streets. The car would often have little to no stopping power when below 20-25 mph. Often i would have to apply the emergency brake to stop the car. The problem was fixed with a replacement of the egr valve, but hopefully this horrible problem wil not occur again. Currently i am in the process of trying to get chevrolet to pay for the replacement, since apparantly this is a result of their bad fuel injectors. Chevrolet has just issued a recall on their fuel injectors which apparantly failed, and lead to carbon buildup on the egr, which causes this tremendous safety problem. Through my own research on other website, such as msn carpoint, it states the the 94-96 models with this enginer report egr and fuel injector replacement. This is a huge safety issue chevrolet should take responsibility for. Thank you.

I purchased my pickup from fowler chevrolet in lakeport, ca. A year or so ago, i had it repaired by santa rosa chevrolet in santa rosa, ca for a defective injector that was leaking and prior to that time i could smell a strong odor of gasoline. Within 3 months of having this repair work done, i once again thought i could smell a strong odor of gas on starting and stopping. However, i dismissed it as my imagination until the problem began to occur more often. Prior to the christmas holiday, i had one son look at the engine and he said there was a smell of gasoline and possibly a leak.while with the other son in san carlos at christmas, i left my truck at boardwalk auto center in redwood city, ca for 3 days.their report was that they could find nothing, so they steam cleaned the engine and charged me $95.00, and sent me on my way. However, when i arrived home, the problem was still there. Even with a newly steam cleaned engine, i can smell a strong odor of gasoline when starting and turning off the ignition. After parking my pickup, when walking around it, one can smell a strong odor of gas. I got on the internet and began to check for safety recalls and discovered that within a year of taking delivery of my pickup, there was a recall for a fuel tank seal leak. When i questioned chevrolet, they gave me the name of a company from whom i could purchase technical service bulletins. They never did address the safety recall on the fuel tank seal leak. They still have not answered my 2nd inquiry. Was there a safety recall for a fuel tank seal leak as i was informed? i never received notice of this recall. What is going on with chevrolet? i have an extended mechanical breakdown insurance policy which expires on 01-17-01, but can't get the truck repaired because no one seems to be able to diagnose this problem.what am i to do?

I have had a problem with the abs since i got the vehicle, however, i was unfamiliar with abs and thought the problem was normal.when i brake, if i hit a bump, the brakes lock up, and i continue to slide.this has happened on many occasions, on dry and wet pavements and on snow and ice.i came very close (10-15 feet) to sliding into a busy intersection once when this brake problem occurred.i received a recall letter from the manufacturer and when i attempted to have the problem fixed, was told that my particular vehicle was not covered under the recall because it was manufactured at a different plant.i have wasted a lunch hour and a lot of time on the phone trying to get satisfaction from gmc, to no avail, besides putting my life and other's lives on the line whenever i drive.as for the driver's seat problem, this developed about 2 years ago.the lever on the side of the seat which lays the back down and brings it up came off, stripped (it was plastic).now i have no way to adjust my seatback, and every once in a while, it slips back on it's own and i cannot control it.i am sure that one of these days i'll be driving along and my seatback will just fall down.the glove box door broke off the dash.if i have an accident, it will become a missile inside the cab.both the seat and the glove box door are not covered under my warranty from the manufacturer which is known as a "universal" warranty, and which i paid an additional $1300 to obtain, just for problems such as these.

I have had a problem with the abs since i got the vehicle, however, i was unfamiliar with abs and thought the problem was normal.when i brake, if i hit a bump, the brakes lock up, and i continue to slide.this has happened on many occasions, on dry and wet pavements and on snow and ice.i came very close (10-15 feet) to sliding into a busy intersection once when this brake problem occurred.i received a recall letter from the manufacturer and when i attempted to have the problem fixed, was told that my particular vehicle was not covered under the recall because it was manufactured at a different plant.i have wasted a lunch hour and a lot of time on the phone trying to get satisfaction from gmc, to no avail, besides putting my life and other's lives on the line whenever i drive.as for the driver's seat problem, this developed about 2 years ago.the lever on the side of the seat which lays the back down and brings it up came off, stripped (it was plastic).now i have no way to adjust my seatback, and every once in a while, it slips back on it's own and i cannot control it.i am sure that one of these days i'll be driving along and my seatback will just fall down.the glove box door broke off the dash.if i have an accident, it will become a missile inside the cab.both the seat and the glove box door are not covered under my warranty from the manufacturer which is known as a "universal" warranty, and which i paid an additional $1300 to obtain, just for problems such as these.

We are the owners of a 1995 chevy s10 ls vin number [xxx].we have had several minor problems and a few major problems with the truck in the three years of ownership. The most recent problem is serious and caused a potentially fatal situation, all which have made us unhappy with the truck.i approached a stoplight, where other vehicles were stopped and i proceeded to slow down. That's when i noticed that my brakes were not responding and that my vehicle was not slowing down. I continued to apply the brake in disbelief but still my truck careened on. This all occurred in less than 5 seconds. Before i knew it i was given a choice of either slamming my truck into the car in front of me at 40mph, or taking my chances on the sidewalk, that to my blessing was empty. Desperately, i veered my truck to the right over the sidewalk, over block barriers onto a parking lot praying that the impact would slow my truck down. My truck finally rolled to a stop. Upon inspection of the truck, it turns out that the brakes failed because a plastic part that connects a vacuum line to the brake booster broke. I am shocked and outraged that something like this could happen. If this part fails at any time, there are no power brakes to slow the vehicle. According to the owner''s manual, the part in question never needs servicing and has no replacement interval. What even scarier is that we have had our brakes serviced twice in the past two years. Question to gm and otherwhy did this part break?what could we have done to prevent this incident? have there been similar incidents of this nature with other gm trucks? is this a recall item?over the course of owning our gm truck we have had other mechanical failures, the first was when the inside rear view mirror fell to the floor and now this''brake failure. We have become more and more dissatisfied with this gm truck. It has proven to be unreliable and unsafe.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

I have had a problem with the abs since i got the vehicle, however, i was unfamiliar with abs and thought the problem was normal.when i brake, if i hit a bump, the brakes lock up, and i continue to slide.this has happened on many occasions, on dry and wet pavements and on snow and ice.i came very close (10-15 feet) to sliding into a busy intersection once when this brake problem occurred.i received a recall letter from the manufacturer and when i attempted to have the problem fixed, was told that my particular vehicle was not covered under the recall because it was manufactured at a different plant.i have wasted a lunch hour and a lot of time on the phone trying to get satisfaction from gmc, to no avail, besides putting my life and other's lives on the line whenever i drive.as for the driver's seat problem, this developed about 2 years ago.the lever on the side of the seat which lays the back down and brings it up came off, stripped (it was plastic).now i have no way to adjust my seatback, and every once in a while, it slips back on it's own and i cannot control it.i am sure that one of these days i'll be driving along and my seatback will just fall down.the glove box door broke off the dash.if i have an accident, it will become a missile inside the cab.both the seat and the glove box door are not covered under my warranty from the manufacturer which is known as a "universal" warranty, and which i paid an additional $1300 to obtain, just for problems such as these.

The egr system continualy failed numerous times. When this failure happened, the idle would flucuate wildly resulting in the loss of the engine vacuum and the loss of power brakes. This happened over 5 times, thankfully on uncrowded streets. The car would often have little to no stopping power when below 20-25 mph. Often i would have to apply the emergency brake to stop the car. The problem was fixed with a replacement of the egr valve, but hopefully this horrible problem wil not occur again. Currently i am in the process of trying to get chevrolet to pay for the replacement, since apparantly this is a result of their bad fuel injectors. Chevrolet has just issued a recall on their fuel injectors which apparantly failed, and lead to carbon buildup on the egr, which causes this tremendous safety problem. Through my own research on other website, such as msn carpoint, it states the the 94-96 models with this enginer report egr and fuel injector replacement. This is a huge safety issue chevrolet should take responsibility for. Thank you.

I also had a defective transmission replaced at 45k.chevy wasn't willing to listen to me about that either.i guess the commercial that george straight makes for chevy is false advertising.i wonder how george would feel if he knew he was supporting such a sorry operation\product.i realize these problems are unrelated to my original complaint.i have a shoe box full of receipts.i will weed through them and send another questionaire regarding these issues.thanks so much for your time.

I cannot understand why gm does not want to assume responsibility for this obviously defective and possibly fatal defect of the windshield wiper motor solder joint near the wiring harness connector that has cracked causing my wipers to work intermittently.this very serious problem has caused me to have reduced visibility on the highway at a rate of speed of 65 mph.i was in a horrible rain storm that came on all of the sudden and my wipers quit in mid stream!!!!i almost crashed into a semi-truck in order to avoid colliding with the cement barrier.not only was i in the truck but so was my 3 yr old child!i want this problem with all of the defective wiper motors fixed immediately!there are hundreds of lives at stake here.i want to know if gm would rather assume responsibility for the deaths of people that may be affected by their obvious defect, because our vin #'s aren't part of the "campaign" 98v150001.i think that it is horrifying to know that such a mutibillion dollar company doesnt care that because our trucks were manufactured a month prior to the recall specifications on maufactur date, that we shouldn't qualify?i want to know that i matter.i along with so may others have done our part and could have no way shape or form prevented this malfunction from occurring. I honored my commitment to gm by paying the purchase price.gm do your part and honor your guarentee of excellence, by keeping us safe from harm or death! gm needs to step up to the plate before i and hundreds of others step up to court.it would be much more cost efficient for gm to assume responsibility now!!!i truely don't see a need to reinvestigate the matter. I believe it is crystal clear to all that will read my and all the other complaints, not including the others that were turned away by gm customer service because the warranty was up! that shouldn't matter there wasn't any preventable thing we as s10 owners could have done!
