2000 Chevrolet Tracker Owner Complaints

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY HAD TO BRAKE STEERING WHEEL VIOLENT WENT LEFT IF ANYONE HAD OF BEEN IN OTHER LANE I WOULD HAVE HIT THEM HEAD ON. I THOUGHT THE BRAKE CALIPER WAS LOCKING UP. SO I WENT TO PART STORE BOUGHT A NW ONE($92) TOOK IT TO A GARAGE OF A MAN I KNEW. HE PUT IT ON LIFT TO CHANGE CALIPER HE NOTICED CONTROL ARM COMPLETE LY RUSTED OUT ON CROSS FRAME..THERE WAS ALSO A HOLE ABOUT 7"LONG RUSTED OUT OF FRAME.BTHIS WASN'T A SAFETY PROB. HE SAID NOT TO DRIVE IT WADS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. IT WAS A SUNDAY NO ONE WORKING ON SUNDAY. WENT BACK MONDAY. HE HAD TO DO ALOT OF WELDING METAL PLATES JUST TO GET IT HOME. HOME CHECKED ON LINE FOR A CROSS MEMBER CHEAPEST$300 PLUS SHIPPING THATS NOT TO INSTALL IT. I HAVE A LIMITED INCOME SO CANT AFFORD IT RIGHT NOW. CHEVY HAS NEW THIS PROB FOR A LONG TIME ACCORDING TO INTERNET AS TOYOTO DID WITH RUSTING. OUT FRAMES. THE FRAME ON THIS CAR SHOULD HAVE REPLACE BY CHEVY THEY USED POOR METAL THAT WOULD BE UNSAFE. IVE SEEM CAR FRAMES FROM WAY BACK BETTER THAN THIS. I'VE ONLY HAD THIS CARFOR A WEEK.THE BODY AND TRANSMISSION ARE EXCELLENT BUT THE REST WAS MADE CHEAP. ITS A 2000 TRACKER (148000 MI) 4CYL 2.0 4WHEEL DRIVE.. I ALSO NOTICED ONLINE THE PROB WAS RIGHT SIDE OF CROSS MEMBER. THIS PROB SAME IN 1999. CHEVY WANTS TO DELAY LONG ENOUGH SO THEY ARE A CUP FULL OF RUST. ITS SAD HOW CROOKED PEOPLE CAN BE JUST TO MAKE A BUCK. THANK YOU [XXX].

I PURCHASED THE TRACKER 6 DAYS AGO AND THE BRAKE LINES BROKE 5 DAYS AFTER PURCHASE. I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AT 5PM ON THURSDAY 8/17/17 AND LEFT ONE STOP LIGHT TO DRIVE UP A HILL TO ANOTHER STOP LIGHT. THE BRAKE LINES BROKE WHILE DRIVING IN THIRD GEAR AT 25MPH AS I WAS DECREASING MY SPEED TO STOP AT THE SECOND LIGHT. MY CAR SHOULD NOT HAVE PASSED INSPECTION BUT IT DID AND MY SAFETY WAS IN JEOPARDY EVERY MOMENT I DROVE THINKING THE CAR WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. THE BRAKE PADS WERE WORN DOWN COMPLETELY, SO ITS METAL ON METAL. THE ROTORS ARE SHOT AND RUSTED. THE FUEL LINES AND BRAKES LINES ARE RUSTED, THE TRANSMISSION IS LEAKING AND THE DIFFERENTIAL IS ALSO LEAKING. THE CAR NEEDS $1300 IN REPAIRS JUST TO FIX THE BREAK LINES AND REPLACE THE BRAKE PADS/ROTORS. I WOULD NOT HAVE PURCHASED THE CAR HAD I KNOWN THAT. ESPECIALLY WHEN I BROUGHT IT TO BE INSPECTED BY AN OBJECTIVE THIRD PARTY MECHANIC TO INFORM ME OF ANY MAJOR ISSUES AND THEY TOLD ME NOTHING WAS WRONG AND THAT THE CAR WAS SAFE TO DRIVE.

WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MILES PER HOUR ON A RURAL ROAD, THERE WAS A LOUD BANG FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR, IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWED BY SHAKING, RATTLING AND A SWERVE TO THE RIGHT. THE CAR WAS DRIVEN TO A LOCAL AUTO SHOP WHERE AN INSPECTION REVEALED THAT THE FRONT SUSPENSION CROSS MEMBER HAD SNAPPED IN HALF, DUE TO EXTENSIVE CORROSION DAMAGE. THE MECHANIC THEN TOLD ME THAT CHEVY HAD INSTITUTED AN INTERNAL CAMPAIGN #06186 IN 2007 TO ADDRESS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH CROSS MEMBERS THAT WERE NOT CORRECTLY PROTECTED AGAINST CORROSION EFFECTING MODEL YEARS 1999-2004. THE CROSS MEMBER NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

I RECENTLY HAD MY 2000 CHEVY TRACKER 4DR IN FOR PENNSYLVANIAS STATE INSPECTION AND AT THAT TIME MY MECHANIC TOLD ME THE SUSPENSION BAR IS ROTTING AWAY FROM THE FRAME. I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE AND HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS AND WHICH STATES THAT GM HAD EXTENDED A SPECIAL WARRANTY PROGRAM FOR THIS ISSUE IN THE SNOW/SALT STATES. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED AND FEEL THIS PROBLEM IS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT AND WHICH GM SEEMS TO ADMIT. MY VEHICLE HAS 114000 MILES ON IT AND CANNOT AFFORD THIS REPAIR ON MY OWN. I CALLED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND ASKED FOR A RECALL SEARCH, AT THAT TIME I WAS TOLD THERE ARE NONE AND WHEN I MENTIONED THE SPECIAL WARRANTY THEY STATED THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS. I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED ANY RECALL NOTICES FOR THIS PROBLEM THAT EXISTS AND WOULD LIKE SOME HELP WITH THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU *TR

FRONT SUSPENSION CROSS-MEMBER OF MY 2000 CHEVROLET TRACKER HAS CORRODED THROUGH THE HEAVY GAUGE METAL ADJACENT TO A SUPPORT BOLT AND RISKS AFFECTING THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A HEAVY GAUGE STRUCTURAL MEMBER THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE RUSTED THROUGH. SEVERE RUST-THROUGH IS THE RESULT OF IMPROPER METAL SURFACE TREATMENT BY THE MANUFACTURER AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. PLEASE FORCE THE MANUFACTURER TO ADDRESS THIS SAFETY-OF-LIFE ISSUE ON THESE VEHICLES AS A CATASTROPHIC COLLAPSE OF THIS COMPONENT, IF IT OCCURS DURING DRIVING, RESULTS IN WHEEL COLLAPSE BECAUSE THIS MEMBER SUPPORTS THE WHEELS A-FRAME. I ESTIMATE THIS RUSTING HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE 2009 EVEN THOUGH I JUST SAW IT IN 2012. I BASE THIS ON THE FACT THAT IN 2012 THERE WAS A HOLE RUSTED THROUGH THE CROSS MEMBER THAT I COULD FIT MY THUMB THROUGH HOWEVER, HOLES OF THIS SIZE USUALLY TAKE A FEW YEARS TO DEVELOP AND I NEVER NOTICED IT PREVIOUSLY. THIS MEANS THAT SUB-SURFACE RUSTING WAS OCCURRING FOR A FEW YEARS WITH SURFACE RUST OBSCURING THIS, WHICH EXPLAINS WHY THE HOLE WAS NOT VISIBLE UNTIL JUST RECENTLY (WHEN THE SURFACE RUST COLLAPSED, IT EXPOSED THE HOLE BENEATH IT). *TR

I WAS BACKING UP DOWN A SHORT LANE OF 25 FEET OR LESS. I HEARD A LOUD POPPING SOUND. I THEN PULLED OUT ONTO A MAJOR HIGHWAY (US-41). I TRAVELED APPROXIMATELY 1 MILE, COMING UPON A STOPLIGHT, THE LIGHT TURNED RED, UPON APPLYING MY BRAKES, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY PULLED DRASTICALLY TO THE LEFT, AT WHICH TIME THE RIGHT BRAKES LOCKED UP, THE LEFT BRAKES, DID NOT WORK AT ALL. I PROCEEDED VERY CAUTIOUSLY HOME ( A TRIP OF 15 MILES). AT WHICH TIME I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY MECHANIC, AFTER HIS EVALUATION OF THE VEHICLE, AND A VERY BRIEF ROAD TRIP, INFORMED ME OF "SOMETHING HE HAS NEVER SEEN IN HIS 25 YEARS OF BEING A MECHANIC) THE CROSSMEMBER THAT SUPPORTS THE UPPER AND LOWER CONTROL ARM WAS RUSTED THRU. THIS CAUSED THE ERRATIC STEERING, AND THE LOSS OF ABILITY TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE DURING A BRAKING SITUATION.THIS VEHICLE DOES HAVE A RECALL (06186) BUT I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED! I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE SINCE IT WAS NEW, IF I WAS NOTIFIED, I WOULD HAVE DEFINITELY HAD IT CHECKED, SINCE IT IS A VEHICLE MY WIFE DRIVES DURING THE WINTER. GENERAL MOTORS SHOULD NOTIFY OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM IT IS DANGEROUS........NO QUESTIONS. *TR

THE DEALER STATED THAT THE RECALL HAD EXPIRED A LONG TIME AGO AND THE COST OF REPLACEMENT WOULD BE ABOUT $800. THE RECALL, WHICH THE DEALER KEPT, CLEARLY STATED THAT THE RECALL WAS VALID FOR TEN YEARS FROM DATE OF PURCHASE. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN DECEMBER 2000. THE DEALER REFUSED ON TWO ADDITION DATES TO HONOR THE RECALL OR GM'S AGREEMENT TO EXTEND THEIR WARRANTY TO A FULL TEN YEARS OR 150,000 MILES AS YOUR WEBSITE INDICATES. HELP US IF YOU CAN.

THE LOWER CONTROL ARM ROTTED AWAY FROM THE SUBFRAME ON MY TRACKER WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THERE WAS A SPECIAL COVERAGE ISSUED BY GM BUT THEY ARE REFUSING TO HONOR IT AS IT WAS NOT A RECALL AND MY TITLE IS A SALVAGE TITLE. (THE CARE WAS DEEMED ROAD SAFE AT THE TIME OHIO TITLE WAS ISSUED BY THE OHIO STATE HIGHWAY PATROL) SPECIAL COVERAGE NUMBER IS 06186. CHEVY ADMITS IT IS DUE TO IMPROPER CORROSION TREATMENT IN THAT AREA THEY WILL ONLY HONOR SPECIAL COVERAGES ON SALVAGE VEHICLES IF IT IS AN EMISSION ISSUE NOT A GENERAL SAFETY ISSUE UNLESS OF COURSE IT IS UPGRADED TO A RECALL. *TR
