2001 Chevrolet S10 Problems

The door latch, that holds your door shut.The wells on them broke and the passenger door came open while going down the road.Big concern had to get it rewelded

I never received Safety Recall# 06020 Galvanized Defective Tailgate Cables that snap/break due to corrosion inside the cable causing the tailgate to fall down while opened. Both my cables have been torn/broken caused by the rust thru for quit some time. My son told me recently, that he had received the Recall Notice a number of years ago and the Chevy Dealer replaced his cables; his S-10 cables are good/solid no problems. I am meticulous with records and surely would have told the Dealer and had them replaced during the recall period. What should I do as I never received the Recall Notice at issue?

MY BRAKES DO NOT ALWAYS WORK; I OFTEN HAVE TO PUMP THE BRAKES UP JUST TO BE ABLE TO GET THEM TO APPLY. IT IS VERY SCARY. I CAN PUT MY FOOT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, AND THE TRUCK WILL BARELY SLOW DOWN. I FEEL I WILL LIKELY REAR-END SOMEBODY OR ROLL INTO A BUSY INTERSECTION BECAUSE THE BRAKES WILL NOT WORK.

I'm having a problem with I believe it's the fuel sensor my truck gets up to a certain temperature and it just dies and it's not just my truck it's in a lot of the newer model Colorado's as well I have a friend who's having the same exact problem as I am when it gets up past 95 degrees, the truck just all of a sudden stops in the engine turns off, and you have to try and steer your truck without any power steering, the reason I am filing this is if this happens in the middle of the road it could possibly cause an accident and that would be no good and it only happens when it is hot outside in the winter time or when it's cold I have no issues whatsoever

I PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE IN APRIL 2015 (USED) I DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME AND IT REGISTERED A HALF A TANK OF GAS, I DROVE IT A FEW DAYS AND THE GAS GAUGE NEEDLE DID NOT MOVE. I NOTIFIED THE AUTO CENTER WHERE I PURCHASE THE VEHICLE AND TOOK IT BACK FOR REPAIRS. FIVE WEEKS AFTER THE REPAIR THE GAS GAUGE IS STILL FAULTY. I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN (OUT OF GAS) THE GAS GAUGE NEEDLE READ A QUARTER TANK OF GAS. I CONTACTED THE AUTO CENTER WHERE I PURCHASE THE VEHICLE AND I WAS TOLD THE S10 AND THE GMC MODEL OF THIS VEHICLE HAS A HISTORY OF FAULTY GAS GAUGE'S. MY ONLY RECOURSE IS TO HAVE THIS ITEM REPAIRED AGAIN WITHOUT ANY GUARANTEE THE SAME PROBLEM WILL HAPPEN AGAIN.----2001 CHEVROLET S10 FUEL SDYSTEM, OTHER BULLETIN 13599---ACTION NUMBER 10001283 REPORT DATE MAR 01,2003 THANK YOU [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).' *PM

IT RECENTLY CAUSED THE BACK WHEEL NOT TO MOVE AT ALL. WE WERE TOLD THE SPRING INSIDE THE MODULE IS GOING OUT. IT ALSO AFFECTS THE AIR BAG FROM GOING ON. ALSO, THE IGNITION WON'T WORK THE TRUCK WON'T START. IT TAKES SEVERAL TRIES TO GET IT TO START. WE WERE JUST TOLD THAT IT'S THE STARTER. THE SEATBELT LOCKS INTERMITTENTLY AND WON'T LET ME MOVE. *TR

DT*: THE CONSUMER STATED WHILE DRIVING AT 35 MPH ANOTHER VEHICLE CAME ACROSS THE MEDIAN AND CRASHED INTO THE VEHICLE. UPON IMPACT THE DRIVER'S SEAT BELT FAILED TO LOCK AND BOTH FRONTAL AIRBAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONSUMER SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE NECK AND BACK.

OUR ABS LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON AND WHEN IT DOES THE ABS DON'T WORK. IT COMES ON WHENEVER IT WANTS. IT IS THE SAME ISSUES AS THE 2000 ARE HAVING AND THEY HAVE A RECALL. IT RECENTLY CAUSED THE BACK WHEEL NOT TO MOVE AT ALL. WE WERE TOLD THE SPRING INSIDE THE MODULE IS GOING OUT. IT ALSO AFFECTS THE AIR BAG FROM GOING ON.

I HAVE AN 2001 S-10 EXTENDED CAB 4X4 TRUCK. I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THIS TRUCK TOWED 4 TIMES & 4 OR 5 FUEL PUMPS PUT IN ALSO A WIRE THAT GOES TO FUEL PUMP & A NEW GAS CAP ALSO. I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK IN JUNE OF 06 & DROVE IT 3 DAYS BEFORE THE FIRST BREAK DOWN. IT WAS DOWN FOR 2 MONTHS. THE PLACE OF PURCHASE LED ME TO BELIEVE THAT THE TRUCK WAS IN PERFECT CONDITION WITH NO PROBLEMS OR ANY WRECKS. WHEN THE TRUCK WAS TOWED TO A CHEVY DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR IT COST OVER 500$ JUST IN LABOR ALONE NOT TO MENTION THE COST OF THE FUEL PUMPS & FULL DIAGNOSTICS. I AM STILL HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE GAS TANK. WHEN I FILL THE TRUCK UP IT RUNS OUT THE TOP OF THE TANK ITSELF UNDER THE BED OF MY TRUCK . ISN'T THIS A DANGER TO MY SAFETY ? THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP DOESN'T WANT TO STAND BY THEIR WORK NOW SO I'M STUCK WITH A DEADLY VEHICLE. I PLAN TO FILE ANY COMPLAINT I CAN & IF POSSIBLE I WILL GET IT ON THE NEWS AS WELL. WITHIN A FEW HOURS OF MY BUYING THIS JUNK THE AUTO DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT IT SOLD MY CONTRACT TO A FINANCE COMPANY SO NOW THE DEALER IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE THINGS THAT WERE & ARE BAD. THE TRUCK BED ONLY HAD 1 BOLT HOLDING THE WHOLE BED ON & THE GAS TANK ONLY HAD 1 STRAP ON 1 SIDE HOLDING THE GAS TANK UP... THE FINANCE COMPANY WON'T HELP WITH THIS PROBLEM EITHER. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING THIS TYPE OF TRUCK & HAVE FOUND THAT WAY TO MANY PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS AS I DO WHEN IT COMES TO THE GAS TANK & FUEL PUMP. SHOULDN'T SOMEONE BE HELD LIABLE FOR THIS PROBLEM ? WOULD THE MAKERS OF THE S-10 TRUCK ALLOW THEIR KIDS OR FAMILY TO RIDE IN A TRUCK THAT COULD POSSIBLY ONE DAY CAUSE THEIR DEATH ? WHEN A GAS TANK LEAKS FUEL FROM THE TANK UNDER THE TRUCK WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF AT A STOP LIGHT SOMEONE THROWS A CIGARETTE OUT & IT HITS THE GAS THAT'S LEAKED OUT ? MY OPINION THE TRUCK WOULD BLOW UP. IF THERE IS ANYONE WHO CAN TELL ME WHERE TO COMPLAIN I'D BE EVER SO GRATEFUL FOR THAT INFO. CATHY IN KY. *NM
