1998 Chevrolet S10 Problems

WIPERS JUST STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN. UNABLE TO GET THEM TO TURN BACK ON. SEEMS TO BE EERILY SIMILAR TO A PREVIOUS RECALL (03V159000) OF EARLIER YEAR MODEL VEHICLES. RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXTENDED ASAP TO COVER 1998+ YEAR MODEL VEHICLES

I JUST BOUGHT THE TRUCK USED AND SOMETIMES THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL WORK AND SOMETIMES THEY WILL NOT COME ON AT ALL. IT DOES THIS WHETHER IT IS STATIONARY, IN MOTION, ON A CITY STREET OR A HIGHWAY, TURNING, BRAKING, HOT OR COLD WEATHER, ETC. IT IS UNSAFE WHEN IT IS RAINING BECAUSE THE WIPERS DO NOT CLEAR THE WINDSHIELD OF RAIN, SNOW, SLEET, WATER FROM OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD PASSING OR AHEAD OF YOU OR SLEET. YOU CANNOT SEE CLEARLY WHERE YOU ARE DRIVING. I WAS TOLD BY A FRIEND THEY HAD A RECALL ON THE 1997 WIPER MOTOR ON HIS S10 TRUCK. THOUGHT THIS MIGHT BE THE SAME PROBLEM. THE TWO OWNERS BEFORE ME HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH IT. I AM NOT SURE WHO THE ORGINAL OWNER IS OR WAS.

MY PARKING BRAKE DOESN'T WORK. MY SEATBELTS COME UNDONE WHEN I'M DRIVING WHICH IS A MAJOR ISSUE FOR SAFETY.

RUSTED BRAKE LINES. ALMOST TOTAL LOSS OF BRAKING.

MY DRIVER SEAT ADJUSTMENT DOES NOT LOCK PROPERLY IT MOVES FORWARD AND BACKWARDS AT ANYTIME. THIS CAUSED ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT WHEN THE SEAT RELEASED WITHOUT ANY WARNING AND CAUSED ME TO HIT A VEHICLE I N FRONT OF ME BECAUSE OF IT. I FEEL GM IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS DEFECT THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE HAD A RECALL ON. IT THERE ANY LAWYERS HANDLING THIS DEFECT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1998 CHEVROLET S10 EXTENDED CAB. THE THIRD DOOR HANDLE ON THE DRIVER SIDE BROKE AS THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO OPEN THE DOOR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1998 CHEVROLET S10. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,000. UPDATED 01/09/15*LJ UPDATED 06/2/2015 *JS

HI I ORIGINALLY PURCHASED A 1998 CHEVROLET S10 USED PRIVATE PARTY AND NOTICED A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND MY BROTHER SCANNED THE COMPUTER AND FOUND IT WAS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM AND WAS INFORMED BY MY BROTHER IT HAD BEEN REBUILT LITERALLY 2 MONTHS BEFORE PURCHASED AND WAS SHOWN PROOF WHEN DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEEDS IT SHIFTED INTO 3RD BY ITSELF AND WAS FORCED TO DRIVE 25 MILES DOING 50 TOOK IT TO GM AND WAS INFORMED IT WAS A PRESSURE PROBLEM AND WAS "RECOMMENDED" A TRANNY REBUILD AND THEN THEY CALLED THE CAR A PIECE OF @#$%^ AND WASN'T WORTH IT I PERSONALLY LOVE THE TRUCK AND THEN THEY SAID IT WOULD BE 2500 DOLLARS. I CONTINUE TO DRIVE IT WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND WAS INFORMED THE TRANSMISSION WILL EVENTUALLY LOCK ME OUT OF IT, ALSO WHEN HOT IT SOUNDS LITERALLY LIKE A TRACTOR ON EXCEL AND STEADY SPEED IF ANY ONE HAS ANY ANSWERS PLEASE EMAIL. *TR

MY PICKUP WAS SITTING IN FRONT OF MY HOME WHEN IT WOULDN'T START. I RAISED THE HOOD AND A RAT WAS UNDER THE HOOD WITH DEBRIS WITH PIECES OF HOSES AND INSULATION FROM UNDER THE HOOD. AFTER REMOVING THE DEBRIS I COULD SEE THE WIREING COATINGS AND THE HOSES WERE ALL CHEWED AND MISSING WITH PART OF IT IN THE DEBRIS. I HAD DISCOVERED THE SAME TYPE OF DAMAGE TO MY CAR THAT DAY BUT WITH A SQUIRREL UNDER THE HOOD! I'VE LIVED HERE MANY YEARS NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH OTHER VEHICLES. AFRAID THIS COULD CAUSE A SAFETY HAZARD IF IT DOESN'T SHOW UP TILL ON THE ROAD. HAVE NOT HAD IT REPAIRED YET DUE TO THE SEVERITY OF DAMAGE & COST. WHY ARE THE RODENTS EATING THE WIRING COVER AND HOSES IN VEHICLES?

THE VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. ALL POWER IS LOST. ALL LIGHTS ON INSTRUMENT PANEL COME ON AS IF THE TRUCK WERE JUST STARTED. "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT COMES ON. SOMETIMES THE TRUCK RESTARTS AND CONTINUES WORKING AND OTHER TIMES IT STALLS COMPLETELY AS IF THE KEY WAS TURNED OFF. THIS HAPPENS AT RANDOM TIMES AND IN RANDOM SITUATIONS. WE MAY BE ACCELERATING AGGRESSIVELY (MERGING INTO TRAFFIC) OR DRIVING SMOOTHLY AT SLOWER SPEEDS. IT IS NOT CONSISTENT WITH ROAD CONDITIONS, TEMPERATURE OR WHETHER WE ARE DRIVING UP OR DOWNS A HILL, ON THE FLATS, GOING STRAIGHT OR AROUND CURVES. IT MAY HAPPEN TWICE WITHIN A MILE THEN NOT AGAIN THAT DAY. ONCE IT HAS STALED COMPLETELY, STARTING THE ENGINE CAN BE DIFFICULT, LIKE IT IS NOT GETTING FUEL OR ELECTRICAL CURRENT TO THE ENGINE. FUEL FILTER HAS BEEN CHANGED WITH NO CHANGE IN SYMPTOMS. PROBLEM CODES THAT COME UP WHEN DIAGNOSED ARE AS FOLLOWS... P1632 P0341 P0335 THIS PROBLEM HAS JUST BEGUN TO SHOW ITSELF IN THE PAST 6 WEEKS, MAYBE STARTING IN EARLY SEPTEMBER, 2015. THIS IS VERY DISCONCERTING AS THIS IS MY WIFE'S COMMUTER CAR AND SHE DOES NOT FEEL SAFE IN IT AT THIS POINT.

WATER LEAK IN COWL AREA ALLOWED RAIN WATER TO COLLECT UNDETECTED UNDER CARPET MOISTURE BARRIER CAUSING ACCESSORY HANDICAPPED ACCELERATOR PEDAL ASSEMBLY TO CORRODE. CORROSION OF THE PEDAL ARM PIVOT SHAFT EVENTUALLY CAUSED PEDAL TO FREEZE IN A PART THROTTLE POSITION IN TRAFFIC. EVASIVE MANEUVER REQUIRED TO AVOID COLLISION WHILE APPROACHING INTERSECTION. *TR

MY TRANNY OIL LINES ARE RUBBING ON THE SWAY BAR ON MY 1998 S- 10 P.U. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1998 CHEVROLET S10. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS ON A BUMPY ROAD, THE REAR END OF THE VEHICLE MOVED FROM SIDE TO SIDE ABNORMALLY. THE FAILURE OCCURRED NUMEROUS TIMES.

WATER LEAK IN COWL AREA ALLOWED RAIN WATER TO COLLECT UNDETECTED UNDER CARPET MOISTURE BARRIER CAUSING ACCESSORY HANDICAPPED ACCELERATOR PEDAL ASSEMBLY TO CORRODE. CORROSION OF THE PEDAL ARM PIVOT SHAFT EVENTUALLY CAUSED PEDAL TO FREEZE IN A PART THROTTLE POSITION IN TRAFFIC. EVASIVE MANEUVER REQUIRED TO AVOID COLLISION WHILE APPROACHING INTERSECTION. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON FREEWAY AT 60MPH AND SET THE CRUISE CONTROL ON, BUT THE TRUCK CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE, EVEN AFTER STEPPING ON BRAKE PEDAL, I WAS ABLE TO CONTROL THE SPEED BY HOLDING THE BRAKE PEDAL, DOWNUNTIL I GOT TO MY DESTINATION, TURNED THE TRUCK OFF/ON AND CHECKED TO SEE THE ACCELERATION HAD STOPPED, THE TRUCK STAYED ON HIGH IDLE. IT SEEMS THE GAS PEDAL IS STUCK. *TR

I BACKED OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. BEGAN SLOWLY TRAVELING DOWN THE HILL THAT I LIVE ON. THE BRAKES COMPLETELY FAILED. THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT WAS NOT ON PRIOR TO THIS OCCURING. THE ENGINE ALSO STALLED. I HAD NO WAY TO SLOW OR STOP SAFELY, AS THE PARKING BRAKE CABLE WAS RUSTED AND DID NOT WORK. I MADE IT TO THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL. ENDED UP DRIVING OFF OF A SMALL EMBANKMENT CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE FRONT BUMPER AND OTHER EXTERNAL AREAS IN THE FRONT. THE HOOD AND DRIVER SIDE DOOR ARE NO LONGER SEALING VERY GOOD. A REPAIR SHOP HAD TO REPLACE MUCH OF THE BRAKE LINES DUE TO FAILURE CAUSED BY RUST. THE MECHANIC ALSO FOUND FUEL LINE DAMAGE DUE TO RUST AND REPLACE THEM AS WELL. I COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN INJURED OR DIED THAT DAY, OR HAVE CAUSED INJURY OR DEATH. WHY HAS CHEVROLET NOT BEEN REQUIRED CORRECT THESE PROBLEMS? *TR

GAS ODOR- UPON STATE INSPECTION FAILURE REVEALED BOTH GAS LINES WERE ABLE TO RUB TOGETHER, CAUSING A LOT OF FUEL TO LEAK ONTO THE EXHAUST CAUSING SMOKE. BOTH LINES WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED TO AVOID THE TRUCK EXPLODING OR CATCHING FIRE. FUNNY HOW YOU CAN ONLY BUY THE FUEL LINES FROM CHEVROLET. WHAT IS TO KEEP THEM FROM RUBBING TOGETHER AGAIN AFTER I SPEND THE FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS TO HAVE IT FIXED? THIS IS A DEFECT. ALSO, FAULTY WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTORS OR WIRING ALLOWS THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS TO JUST COMPLETELY STOP WHILE IT IS DOWNPOURING RAIN. I COULD HAVE ENDED UP IN THE LAKE! I HAD TO PAY TO HAVE IT REPLACED. THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ONLINE FROM OWNERS OF THE SAME VEHICLE REGARDING BOTH OF MY COMPLAINTS. WHY IS NOTHING BEING DONE TO MAKE GM FIX THESE KNOWN DEFECTS BEFORE SOMEONE DIES? *NM

WHILE IN MOTION ON THE FREEWAY, THE SPARE TIRE HOIST CABLE UNDER THE TRUCK BED FAILED AND THE SPARE TIRE DROPPED TO THE GROUND. AFTER IT FELL, A SECOND SAFETY CABLE USED TO PREVENT THEFT OF THE TIRE WAS CAUSING THE TIRE TO DRAG BEHIND THE VEHICLE FOR AN UNKNOWN NUMBER OF MILES. WHILE PULLING OVER, THE SAFETY CABLE ALSO FAILED DUE TO RUBBING AGAINST THE GROUND AND THE TIRE CAME FULLY LOOSE FROM THE TRUCK. ANOTHER VEHICLE BEHIND THE TRUCK RAN INTO THE TIRE BUT NO MAJOR ACCIDENT OCCURRED. BOTH VEHICLES WERE ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD. THE LOOSE SPARE TIRE AND THE LOOSE SAFETY CABLE LOCK WERE RECOVERED, HOWEVER, THE BROKEN PIECE FOR THE TIRE HOIST WAS NOT RECOVERABLE. DAMAGED/FAILED HARDWARE: OEM SPARE TIRE CABLE HOIST (FAILED), THIRD PART SAFETY CABLE (DAMAGED)

MY PARKING BRAKE DOESN'T WORK. MY SEATBELTS COME UNDONE WHEN I'M DRIVING WHICH IS A MAJOR ISSUE FOR SAFETY.

VEHICLE INVOLVED IN A HEAD ON CRASH WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE ON THE ROAD ALREADY IN AN ACCIDENT.. SPEED WAS AT 55 MPH CAUSING A TOTAL LOSS OF 1998 S-10 ZR2 TRUCK.. THERE WAS EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE FRONT...OF THIS THE AIR BAGS NEVER DEPLOYED AT ALL THE SAFETY BELTS DID NOT RESTRAIN..DRIVER SUFFERED CHEST TRAUMA BACK,KNEE,AND NECK INJURIES.... CHEVROLET WAS CALLED TO COMPLAIN AND THEY DID INVESTIGATION BUT NOTHING WAS RESOLVED.... *NLM

VEHICLE HAVING SERIES OF PROBLEMS AFTER AN ACCIDENT WITH A DEER. *MR THE HOOD LATCH HASN'T WORKED PROPERLY SINCE THE ACCIDENT, BOTH CHAIR LATCHES HAD BROKEN AFTER TWO TIMES OF USE, THE RIGHT FRONT OF THE VEHICLE MADE NOISE, THERE WAS NOISE IN THE STEERING, THE CENTRAL CONSOLE SNAPPED IN HALF, AND THE REAR WIPERS HAD GONE OUT. *SCC *JB

BENT AND TWISTED FINGERS MR. SAM ADAMS FINGERS ARE TWISTED AND BENT FROM TO CONFORM TO THE CONTOUR OF THE STEERING WHEEL ON THE CHEVROLET S-10 HE DRIVES. MR. ADAMS WISHES HIS NAME BE HELD IN CONFIDENCE. THIS INFORMATION IS BEING SUPPLIED TO YOU FOR INFORMATION ON THE STEERING EFFORT DAMAGE TO DRIVERS FINGERS BY MIKE TOMICH 989-665-2311

GOODYEAR ALLEGRA P205 75R15 SIDEWALL SEPARATION AND CRACKING LEAD TO BLOWOUT. INNER SIDEWALL SHOWED CRACKING AND RIPPLING AS THOUGH CHORDS WERE BROKEN. ONLY 25,000 MILES AS MY DAILY DRIVER, NO HEAVY LOADS. *TR

SPARE TIRE FOR THIS VEHICLE IS SECURED UNDERNEATH TRUCK BED. DRIVING ALONG DIVIDED HIGHWAY IN AN AREA WITH NO PULL-OFF AREA, THE SPARE TIRE FELL FROM BENEATH VEHICLE INTO ROADWAY. THIS WAS A RESULT OF DEFECTIVE DESIGN AS I HAVE NOT REMOVED OR USED THIS SPARE AS LONG AS I'VE OWNED THE VEHICLE (APPROX. 5 YRS.). *TR

I WAS PULLING INTO A MCDONALD'S DRIVE-THROUGH LANE AND THE SILICONE ISOLATION MOUNT WHERE THE TOP PART OF THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT LEVER MEETS THE BOTTOM PART COMING UP FROM THE TRANSMISSION BROKE LOOSE. IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO SHIFT WITH THE TOP LEVER NOW. IT IS POSSIBLE TO SHIFT USING THE SHORT BOTTOM PIECE COMING UP FROM THE TRANSMISSION, BUT IT IS NOT EASY TO DO SO. *TR

I BELIEVE A DESIGN FLAW IN THE DRIVESHAFT HAS CAUSED IT TO BE REPLACED 3 TIMES OVER 125,000 MILES

VEHICLE HAS SAME PROBLEM AS STATED IN RECALL 00V220000/ HEADLIGHTS. BUT, CHEVROLET AND DEALER INDICATED VEHICLE NOT AFFECTED BY RECALL. *AK

FAULTY SPARK PLUG AND WIRES CAUSED THE SES LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE AND THE VEHICLE TO RUN ROUGH, CONSUMER REQUEST REIMBURSEMENT SINCE VEHICLE HAD SPECIAL WARRANTY COVERAGE/RECALL (00V-220) WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN THE CAUSE. NLM

WITH THE AIR CONDITONER THE RELAYS AND FUSES KEEP BLOWING. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO A AIR CONDITONING PLACE AND THEY ARE NOT SURE. WITH THE ABS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IN SNOW. I USED THE BRAKES THE ANTI LOCKS CAME ON AND ALL LIGHTS INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR CUT OFF COMPLETELY. HAD TO STOP AND RESTART VEHICLE. WITH THE ELCTRICAL PROBLEM I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN ALL MY GAUGES JUMPED THEN WENT TO NORMAL. WITH THE TRANNSMISSION IT HAS CONSTATLY SLAMMED INTO SECOND AND THIRD GEAR. I HAVE BROUGHT TO THTE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES. IT WAS WORKED ON ONCE. THEY SAID THEY REPLACED NUMEROUS PARTS ON THE TRANSMISSION. UPON DRIVING IT DOWN THE ROAD THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. *AK

THE ENGINE SOMETIMES STALLS WHILE CONSUMER RELEASES THE CLUTCH, THE ENGINE HESITATES AND SOMETIMES HAS LITTLE POWER. THE CONSUMER SMELLS FUEL AND SULFER, THE DEALER CAN NOT LOCATE ANY PROBLEMS. THE STARTER DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. THE AIR CONDITIONER BLOWS HOT. THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING, THE CLUTCH LOCKS UP IN REVERSE AND IS NOISY. THE CONSUMER COMPLAINS THAT THE VEHICLE DOES NOT STOP FAST ENOUGH. THE FAN CLUTCH WAS NOISY. *SLC
