1997 Chevrolet S10 Powertrain (other) Problems
Owner-reported complaints naming the powertrain system, filed with NHTSA
Data refreshed
Powertrain (other) reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD BOTH DRIVE LINES REPLACED, THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE, THE TORQUE CONVERTER, THREE DIFFERENT IDLER ARMS, THREE SETS OF TIRES AND TWO ALIGNMENTS, THE REAR END HAS BEEN REBUILT DUE TO WORN OUT PINION BEARING, TWO PULLEYS ARE SQUEELING, THE BRAKES HAVE TO BE PRESSED EXTREMELY HARD AND ABS KICKS IN ALL THE TIME, TIRES RUBBED THE FENDER, ALTENATOR SQUEELING. I FEEL THAT THIS VEHICLE IS SUBSTANDARD AND THAT MOST OF THE REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE OUT OF POCKET DUE TO VEHICLE NOT BEING UNDER WARRANTY WHEN THEY OCCURRED. I HAVE WRITTEN AN E MAIL TO CHEVROLET SERVICE TO FIND OUT WHAT I CAN DO WITH THIS TRUCK.
