My frontal airbag did not deploy and my seatbelt did not restrain me. I believe both of these were faulty and did not work properly based on the speed i was hit.

1.i was driving atapproximately 65 mph for about an hour, with the outside temperature at approximately -10f to -15f.please note that my vehicle does not have cruise (speed) control. 2.i noticed that the engine was revving on its own, and maxxing out!the accelerator no longer had any effect and the engine was going as fast as it could even with my foot completely off of the accelerator.braking was ineffective because the engine counteracted any braking attempt.when i moved my gear shift to neutral the tachometer redlined.i left the vehicle in neutral, came to a stop and turned the engine off.a few minutes later i turned the engine on again and it was behaving normally again.i continued my trip, but 30 minutes later the same thing happened again.it does not occur when the weather is warmer (above -10f)3.i have done nothing to correct the failure, but i will not permit anyone except me to drive the vehicle, since i know how to react to it now.this seems like an extreme safety issue and i was surprised that there hasn't been a recall yet.that's why i'm contacting you.

On 2 times, when driving on a highway in july car stalled.after 1st stall it was taken to bellavilla chevrolet who could find nothing wrong.after second stall vehicle was again returned to bellavia who suspects that problem is probably due to a defective camshaft position sensor.

My wife was driving. She slowed to approximately 10-15 mph for a dip in the road that contained water. After going through the dip/water she started to accelerate but began fish-tailing. She immediately took her foot off the accelerator and pumped the brake and tried to correct the fish-tailing. However, the car continued out-of-control. She then slammed on the brake and held in down, but could not stop the vehicle. It traveled approximately 375 feet, first going off the road to the right, over a curb, hit a chain link fence, careened across the road, over another curb, through about six feet of 12 inch boulders and through the wall of a building. The only way we can explain this, is that the accelerated had to have malfunctioned. In fact, when the vehicle finally came to a stop, the engine was still racing and the rear wheel had dug a six inch hole in the dirt from spinning. N addition, the airbags did not deploy.

Loud noise in front end of vehicle when cold. This makes a very loud grinding, squeaking noise in the front end of the vehicle when the outside temperature is at or below 22 degrees fahrenheit. The noise goes away after about 5 to 10 minutes of driving. The dealer says there is no fix for this!i have two 2003 trackers..and they both make this loud, irritating noise when its cold. Its so loud sometimes, you can hear it a block away. There is no excuse for a manufacturer to ignore a problem like this..even though it may not be safety related, it should still be fixed for free. The dealer says it is a axle seal grinding.

On march 8, 2003 i purchased this vehicle. After about 2 or so weeks, i encountered rattling and squeaking. On several occasions i have taken my vehicle to the dealer to have them find the problem. No one has been able to find the problem. Each time i get a courtesy call on how service was, i tell them the service was fine, and that still no one has been able to find my squeaking and rattling. I am told that someone will get back to me on this. To this date (july 22, 2006), i have not heard from anyone. I am getting fed up. What am i supposed to do? i have children i drive around and they hear the problem and do not want to be in my vehicle, but they have no choice as i am the driver.

I applied my brakes tostop my tracker, but the acceleratorstuck at the speed i was going. I pushed the brakes, i couldn't get them to work full force. The tracker was accelerating and just slightly braking ,both at the same time. I got the tracker to a full stop just before i entered a cross road to a highway.... Not funny.... Fix it, be fore some one is killed.i saw four other complaints refering to a similar proplems.i had the veh. In the shop and they could find nothing. Something 'is' wrong.c.s.c.s.

Driver stepped on accelerator, accelerator stuck, vehicle struck a parked vehicle, driver passed out. When driver awoke, she found she had struck eight parked vehicles and a pedestrian. No citations were issued, no drugs/alcohol, foul play or negligence was found to be the cause of the accident.a recallhas been issued for the suzuki vitara (#03v51200) which is the sister vehicle to the tracker (same assembly line/parts.) i do not understand why the tracker - this failure occurred exactly as the recall information described under "consequence."nhtsa personnel told me they did not know why chevrolet has not recalled the trackers, and suggested i call chevrolet and ask. I urge anyone else with a tracker (1999-2003) who has had a similar problem with the gas pedal sticking to file a complaint...nhtsa said one complaint will not generate an investigation, but that several complaints might. So far, only one tracker owner has filed a complaint (#10056284) this accident could have resulted in far worse than 9 wrecked vehicles (the tracker will likely be totaled), an injured pedestrian and an injured driver!!!!!!

I am quite concerned that a recall was issued (# 03v512000) for a faulty accelerator cable on the suzuki models of vitara, grand vitara and the xl-7 and not the chevrolet tracker. It is built and assembled with the identical parts at the same factory on the same assembly line. At this time i am driving around with a potentially dangerous defect in my 2003 chevrolet tracker and nhtsa did not have the fore sight to afford me through recall, the same replacement for this identical part along with thousands of other 1999-2003 chevrolet tracker owners.

2003 chevrolet tracker has problems with the battery, the transmitter for the door, the air conditioner, and the defroster. *mr the windows would freeze in the winter in severe cold weather.the consumer would have to scrape the interior windows.the problem would occur in all of the windows of the vehicle including the rear windows, the a/c had gone out, the battery was replaced at 14000 miles and there were several attempts to repair the heating vents to be directed to the floor as the venting only blew into the interior dash. *sc the starter was replaced.

When turning vehicle to the left a grinding noise was heard.dealerreplaced the steering gear box to resolve the problem.also, all the windows had spots that the dealer could not remove by cleaning.*mr
