CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS ON THE OUTSIDE PASSING LANE GOING STRAIGHT WITH PLENTY OF ROOM BARELY HIT THE BRAKES AND THEY WENT TO THE FLOOR. SINCE EVERYONE IN FRONT SUDDENLY STOPPED CONTACT'S VEHICLE HAD TO MOVE OVER, WENT ON THE MEDIAN IN THE HIGHWAY TO KEEP FROM HITTING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT AND PASSED ABOUT 40-50 VEHICLES.

ALSO, THE CRUISE CONTROL LOCKED IN THE ACCELERATION MODE ON THE MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH RESULTING IN SUDDEN UNWANTED ACCELERATION AND THE DRIVER HAD TO SLAM THE VEHICLE INTO PARK AND APPLY THE BRAKES TO STOP THE VEHICLE. *MJJ

THE ACCELERATOR SPEEDS UP AND STICKS AND THE BRAKES WON'T WORK.ITS ALMOST LIKE HAVING CRUISE CONTROL EXCEPT THAT I DONT HAVE IT.THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME 5 TIMES NOW AND I'VE HAD THE TRUCK IN TO THE CHEVY DEALER TWICE AND THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG.I NEED TO KNOW IF THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON A PROBLEM LIKE THIS AND WHAT IT MIGHT BE SO I CAN GET IT FIXED.

RECALL # 99I006000 CONCERNING ABS BRAKES. CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER FOR PROBLEM WITH HEADLIGHT SWITCH. THEY TOLD CONSUMER ABOUT RECALL. DEALER DID RECALL REPAIRS. CURRENTLY, HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MOTOR AND 4-WHEEL DRIVE. *AK THE DEALER DISCONNECTED THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE WHILE TRYING TO FIX ABS RECALL, AND REFUSED TO FIX IT WITHOUT CHARGING THE CUSTOMER. *YH

WHEN DRIVING AT ANY SPEED VIBRATION WAS COMING FROM TRUCK. WHEELS HAVE BEEN REPLACED TWICE. ALL FOUR WHEELS WERE REPLACED THE FIRST TIME, AND TWO WHEELS WERE REPLACED THE SECOND TIME, ALONG WITH A TIRE AND DRIVE SHAFT. VIBRATION STILL OCCURS. *AK *ML

FRONT BRAKES GRAB AFTER TRUCK SITS IN RAIN OR OTHER WET WEATHER CAUSING DIFFICULTY IN CONTROL. *MJS

BOTH TAILGATE CABLES HAVE BROKEN. THE FIRST HAS BEEN BROKEN FOR A YEARS, THE SECOND SNAPPED AS I WAS UNLOADING A HEAVY GARBAGE CAN. LUCKILY, I WAS NOT HURT AS THE CAN FELL TO THE GROUND. *JB ALSO THE GLUE HAS FAILED ON THE REAR VIEW MIRROR, AND REAR WINDOW LOCK.

I OWN A 1994 CHEVROLET S-10 2WD REGULAR CAB PICKUP. THE TAILGATE CABLES ON MY TRUCK ARE EITHER FAILING OR HAVE FAILED. I DO NOT USE MY VEHICLE FOR ANY SPECIAL PURPOSES, JUST NORMAL EVERYDAY USE. THROUGH THE REGULAR OPENING AND CLOSING OF MY TAILGATE MY RIGHT-SIDE CABLE HAS SNAPPED, AND MY LEFT-SIDE CABLE IS FREYING AND I EXPECT TO SNAP IN THE NEAR FUTURE. IF THE LEFT-SIDE CABLE SNAPS THERE WILL BE NOTHING KEEPING THE TAILGATE FROM FALLING OFF. I AM AFRAID THAT WHEN IT FAILS IT WILL BE UNDER LOAD AND SOMEONE WILL BE INJURED.*AK

SEAT BELT FAILED. *SLC

THE PASSENGER SIDE SEATBELT ALWAYS LOCKS AND IT CANNOT BE MOVED,SO ALOT OF TIMES ITS HARD TO STRAP YOURSELF IN, AND WHEN YOU DO GET IT BUCKLED IT WILL LOCK IN PLACE AND YOU CANT MOVE. SOME TIMES IT WILL ALSO HAPPEN TO THE DRIVERSIDE. *AK

WHEN TURNING STEERING WHEEL IT TURNS FARTHER THAN OR BEFORE WHEELS TURN.*AK

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TEETER CHEVROLET, 1512 W. MOLINE, MALVERN, AR 72104; 501-337-7504. I WAS INFORMED UPON PICK UP MY VEHICLE THAT THE BOLTS IN THE STEERING COLUMN HAD BEEN SHEARED. FORTUNATELY, THE INCIDENT TOOK PLACE WITHIN 300 FEET OF MERGING ONTO THE INTERSTATE. THUS, CAUSING NO ACCIDENTS, BUT LEFT ME IN THE MIDDLE OF A HIGHWAY WITH NO MEANS OF OPERATING AND/OR TURNING MY VECHICLE.

ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS ( REPLACED BATTERY ON SIX OCCASIONS), AND 3. FRONT SEAT WILL NOT STAY LOCKED IN PLACE, SEAT MOVED BACK AND FORTH. DEALER NOTIFIED, AND INFORMED CONSUMER THAT VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, AND REPAIRS WOULD ONLY BE AT CONSUMER'S COST. *AK

RECALL # 99I006000 CONCERNING ABS BRAKES. CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER FOR PROBLEM WITH HEADLIGHT SWITCH. THEY TOLD CONSUMER ABOUT RECALL. DEALER DID RECALL REPAIRS.

WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT WITH MY HEADLIGHTS ON I TURNED ON THE HIGHBEAM LIGHTS. THEY WORKED FINE FOR ABOUT THIRTY SECONDS BUT THEN I LOST ALL MY INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR LIGHTS. I TURNED THE HIGHBEAMS OFF AND ALL MY INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR LIGHTS CAME BACK ON. THIS IS THE ONLY TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. I WAS ON VACATION AT THE TIME AND UPON MY ARRIVAL HOME I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER NAMED (ON OCT. 11). THEY CHECKED THE LIGHT SYSTEM (ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE WRITER) BOTH ELECTRONICALLY AND VISUALLY BUT COULD NOT ASCERTAIN WHAT CAUSED THE PROBLEM. I WANT TO ADD THAT I HAVE HAD A PROBLEM FROM TIME TO TIME WITH THE HEADLIGHTS NOT COMING ON WHEN ON TURN THE SWITCH ON THAT CONTROLS THEM. I HAVE ALSO HAD THE TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALER FOR THIS PROBLEM AT LEAST ONCE, WHILE IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM SO THIS PROBLEM HAS NEVER BEEN CORRECTED EITHER. IF I KEEP TURNING THE LIGHTS ON AND OFF EVENTUALLY THEY DO ALWAYS COME ON, SO FAR. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I EVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE H IGHBEAMS, THOUGH. ALSO, FOR ABOUT THE LAST 18 MONTHS, WHILE USING THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS, THEY WOULD STOP IN MID-STRIDE. WHEN I WOULD TURN THEM OFF AND THEN TURN THEM ON AGAIN THEY WOULD WORK FINE FOR SEVERAL MONTHS AND THEN THEY WOULD REPEAT THIS PROBLEM. ON OCT 11 I HAD THE DEALER CHECK THIS ALSO AND THEY REPLACED THE WINDSHILD WIPER CIRCUIT BOARD AS THEY SAID THAT WAS BAD. TO ME THE HEADLIGHTS ARE A SAFETY ITEM AND I THINK SOMEONE SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM. THANK YOU.
