1999 Chevrolet S10

I DRIVE THIS VEHICLE ALMOST EVERYDAY OF THE WEEK. WHEN I STEP ON THE BRAKES IT FEELS LIKE THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM IS ACTIVATING. THIS HAPPENS ABOUT FIVE TIMES A WEEK. IT HAPPENS, MOST NOTABLY, WHEN THE PAVEMENT IS DRY. I STEP ON THE BRAKES AND FEEL THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL ABS KICK IN, AFTER THE ABS PULSING STOPS THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES DOWN A CONSIDERABLE DISTANCE. IT SEEMS LIKE IT IS ONLY THE LEFT SIDE AND NOT THE RIGHT SIDE FRONT BRAKE THAT DOES THIS. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD AS I DON'T KNOW HOW THE VEHICLE WOULD RESPOND IN AN ACTUAL ICE/SNOW CONDITION. *JB

BOTH SEAT RECLINER HANDLES HAVE BROKEN OFF. I HAVE LESS THAT 30,000 MILES ON THIS VEHICLE SINCE I ONLY USE IT OCCASIONALLY. THE PASSENGER SIDE IS RARELY USED AND THAT RECLINER HANDLE BROKE OFF FIRST. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS PROBLEM WHICH INDICATES A DEFECT IN THE MANUFACTURING OF THE RECLINER ARMS. I WILL CONTACT GM TO SEE IF THEY WILL REPLACE THEM. *JB

I HAVE A 1999 CHEVROLET S-10 PICKUP, EXTENDED CAB, 4WD, ZR2. WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED WITH APPROXIMATELY 70,000 MI. IT WAS EXHIBITING THE SAME PREMATURE ABS LOCK UP AT LOW SPEEDS, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO HAVE UNPREDICTABLE STOPPING DISTANCES, AS THE GM FULL SIZE TRUCKS INCLUDED IN THE RECENT RECALL. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL GM DEALER TO HAVE IT DIAGNOSED. THE DEALERSHIP DETERMINED THAT IT WAS THE PASSENGER SIDE, FRONT ABS WHEEL SPEED SENSOR. HOWEVER, CURRENTLY GM LIGHT DUTY TRUCKS ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. I FEEL THAT THIS MAY BE OF CONCERN AS I AM SURE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH A LIGHT DUTY TRUCK THAT HAS EXHIBITED THIS TYPE OF DANGEROUS VEHICLE BEHAVIOR. I HOPE THAT THE RECALL IS REVISED TO INCLUDE ALL GM TRUCKS INCLUDING LIGHT DUTY ONES SUCH AS MINE. I HAD SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS AT GAS STATIONS, TRAFFIC LIGHTS AND PEDESTRIAN CROSSINGS BECAUSE OF THIS. YOUR ATTENTION IN THIS MATTER IS GREATLY NEEDED AND APPRECIATED. BECAUSE I HAVE NOT HAD THE VEHICLE SERVICED YET I PLACED THE NUMBER "1" IN THE "NUMBER OF FAILURES COLUMN" OF THIS FORM. *JB

DT: THE CALLER SAID A TRUCK HE USE TO OWN HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE PASSENGER SEAT SLIDING FORWARD. THE CALLER TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TWICE FOR THIS PROBLEM. DEALER SAID THEY FIXED IT, BUT THE CALLER STATED IT WAS NOT FIXED. DEALER HAS NOT BEEN CONTACTED LATELY. MANUFACTURER HAS NOT BEEN CONTACTED YET. THE CALLER GAVE VEHICLE TO HIS SON, WHO HAS NOT TAKEN VEHICLE TO DEALER . *AK

I HAD JUST NOTICED THROUGH MY FRONT WHEEL WELL THAT THERE WAS A CRACK IN MY FRAME. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND THEY HAD NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THAT BEFORE. HE HAD NOTICED THAT IT IS CRACKED ON BOTH SIDES AND MY REAREND IS ALSO AFFECTED BY THE CRACKS IN THE FRAME. THE FRAME IS NOT RUSTED AND I HAVE NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT OR HAVE TAKEN IT OFF ROAD. IT HAS 127,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK AND IT IS A 1999 SO IT IS ONLY 6 YEARS OLD. THERE IS NO PLAUSABLE EXPLANATION FOR THIS I WOULD LIKE AN INVESTIGATION DONE SO THIS DOESNT HAPPEN TO ANYONE ELSE. I WILL BE TAKING IT TO THE DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM ALSO TO SEE WHAT CAN BE DONE.

NOTICED GAS GAUGE WAS DROPPING TO EMPTY WHEN I HAD A FULL TANK OF GAS. KEPT AN EYE ON IT AND THE PROBLEM BECAME WORSE. NOW MY GAS GAUGE DOES NOT READ AT ALL. I CAN BE ON EMPTY AND IT READS THAT I HAVE MORE THAN A HALF TANK LEFT. SEVERLY TIMES I HAVE ALMOST RUN OUT OF GAS DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. I KNOW HAVE TO WATCH MY MILEAGE AND DETERMINE WHEN I NEED TO GET GAS.

I WAS TRAVELLING AT APROXIMATELY 55 MPH. A FULL SIZED SILVERADO 4X4 PULLING A HORSE TRAILER FAILED TO STOP AT A STOP SIGN AND PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME. I APPLIED MY BRAKES AND HIT HM IN THE DRIVER DOOR. MY DRIVERSIDE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. MY WIFE WAS RIDING AS A PASSENGER. SHE WAS WEARING HER SHOULDER/SEATBELT. IT DID NOT LOCK IN PLACE AND HOLD HER BACK. SHE WAS THROWN FORWARD INTO THE DASHBOARD. SHE RECEIVED BRUISED RIBS AND A BRUISE ON HER FOREHEAD. THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG HAD BEEN TURNED OFF DUE TO THE FACT THAT WE SOMETIMES TRANSPORT OUR GRANDCHILDREN. WE HAVE CONTACTED GM ABOUT THIS. WE WERE TOLD THAT THE CONDITIONS WERE NOT RIGHT FOR AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT OR FOR THE SEATBELT TO RESTRAIN! COME ON! I THOUGHT THESE THINGS WERE SUPPOSED TO BE SAFETY EQUIPMENT!!!!!
