OUR CHEVY TRACKER WAS PURCHASED NEW IN OCT 02. THE FIRST TIME THE OIL WAS CHANGED THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START BACK UP IMEDIATLY. AFTER SPINNING THE MOTOR OVER FOR SEVERAL MINUTES IT DID START BUT SMOKED SEVERLEY. THIS PROBLEM HAS PERSISTED SINCE THAT DATE. THE REPAIR TECH. AT CHEVROLET AGREES THAT THE VALVES IN THE CYLINDER HEAD ARE STICKING OPEN CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO NOT HAVE THE COMPRESSION TO START. BUT AFTER THREE ATTEMPTS TO REPAIR THEY HAVE FAILED AND CANNOT FIND THE PROBLEM WHAT DO I DO?????????????

THE RATE OF CONFIRMED LCA SEPARATIONS AT 5 YEARS IN SERVICE IS LESS THAN 10 PER 100,000 VEHICLES, WHICH IS LOW RELATIVE TO OTHER INVESTIGATIONS OF FRONT SUSPENSION ISSUES PREVIOUSLY INVESTIGATED BY ODI. ACCORDINGLY, THIS INVESTIGATION IS CLOSED.THE CLOSING OF THIS INVESTIGATION DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A FINDING BY NHTSA THAT A SAFETY-RELATED DEFECT DOES NOT EXIST.THE AGENCY WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR COMPLAINTS AND OTHER INFORMATION RELATING TO THE ALLEGED DEFECT IN THE SUBJECT VEHICLES AND TAKE FURTHER ACTION IN THE FUTURE IF WARRANTED.
