AS OUR SON WAS DRIVING OUR 2001 S-10 EXT CAB PICKUP HOME, HE CAME INTO A CURVE AND THE TRUCK HAD NO BRAKING POWER. HE SAID HE HEARD A GRINDING NOISE IN THE VEHICLE AND HAD NO BRAKES. HE WENT OFF THE CURVE AND HIT A TREE. THE TRUCK WAS TOTALED. MY SON AS WELL AS HIS TWO FRIENDS WERE TAKEN TO AREA HOSPITALS LUCKILY, NO ONE WAS SERIOUSLY INJURED AS THEY HAD THEIR SEAT BELTS ON AND WERE GOING THE SPEED LIMIT. I WOULD HATE TO SAY WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN TRAVELING AT A FASTER RATE OF SPEED. AFTER SEEING SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FILED BY OTHER 2001 S-10 OWNERS, I'M WONDERING IF SOMEONE WILL HAVE TO BE KILLED BEFORE THEY RECTIFY THIS BRAKE PROBLEM. *JB

CONTACT STATES: LAST MONTH HUSBAND COULDN'T GO ANY FASTER THEN 35 MPH IN A 55 MPH ZONE . IT WAS LIKE SOMETHING WAS STOPPING THE WHEEL BACK FROM MOVING, AND IT STARTED SMOKING FROM THE WHEEL. TOOK VEHICLE TO AUTO ZONE, AND THEY SAID THE BRAKE WAS PRESSING UP AGAINST THE WHEEL. THEY HAD THE BRAKE PADS AND CALIPERS CHANGED. BUT THAT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER. THEY PUT ON LOADED BRAKE PADS, AND REDID THE HOSES AND THE CALIPERS . HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM WAS NOT SOLVED, AND THEY CLAIMED THAT CONTAMINATED BRAKE FLUID WAS IN THE HOSES. THERE WAS NO CONTAMINATED FLUID PUT IN THE CAR. INSURANCE ADJUSTERS STATED THEY DID NOT SEE ANY SIGNS OF CONTAMINATED BRAKE FLUID AND THAT IT WAS SOMETHING MECHANICAL.*AK

WITH IN A COUPLE MONTHS IT'S BACK TO THE SAME WAY IT WAS, NOW IF I HAVE THE BRAKES DONE AGAIN, I NEED TO REPLACE THE ROTOR BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN TURNED SO MANY TIMES.

HORRIBLE PROBLEM WITH THE SHIFTING OF TRANSMISSION. TRANSMISSION WAS REBUILT 6 MONTHS AGO DUE TO THE BURN OUT OF THE 2ND AND 3RD GEAR. SHIFTING HAS NOT CHANGED SINCE THE REBUILD. VEHICLE EASILY SLIPS OUT OF GEAR AND INCREASINGLY LOSES SPEED...NO MATTER IF THE GAS PEDAL IS TO THE FLOOR OR NOT. TRUCK WILL GO 65 MPH IN 2ND GEAR WITH PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND LOSE SPEED RAPIDLY STILL. SECOND, BRAKES LOCK UP GOING OVER SMALL BUMPS, AND THEN SEEM TO NOT WANT TO WORK PROPERLY ON OCCASION. LASTLY, TAILGATE CABLES HAVE SNAPPED AFTER I SAT ON THE TAILGATE (I'M 5'0" AND 100LBS!!). *AK
