All Engine And Engine Cooling Complaints
DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH ON NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS, SMOKE WAS NOTICED INSIDE THE VEHICLE CABIN. NO WARNING LIGHTS ALERTED THE CONTACT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO DETERMINED THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD GASKET NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE SAME PROBLEM RECURRED, AND REQUIRED A SECOND REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP TO REPLACE THE GASKET A THIRD TIME. THE PROBLEM WAS VERY SENSITIVE BECAUSE THE SMOKE ENTERED THROUGH THE VENTILATION TO THE CABIN AT LOW SPEEDS AND WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IMMOBILE AT STOP SIGN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED WHO INDICATED THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, AND PROVIDED NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE.
ON JULY 22, 2005, I PAID THE DEALER $615.74 TO REPLACE A SHORTED AIR PUMP. I BROUGHT IT IN SINCE THE LIGHT GAUGES WERE TURNING ON. THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHTED ON AND OFF. ONE WEEK LATER, THE A/C STOPPED WORKING. THE DEALER CHARGED ME $105.19 FOR THE DIAGNOSIS. ON AUG. 10, I PAID ANOTHER SHOP $852.08 TO REPLACE THE A/C COMPRESSOR. ON AUG. 30, MY S-10 STALLED AND HASN'T WORKED SINCE THEN. A MECHANIC SAID THE ENGINE HAS TO BE REPLACED (ANOTHER $3000 +) DUE TO OVERHEATING OF THE RADIATOR. THERE WAS NO PRIOR INDICATION THAT THE RADIATOR WAS LEAKING OR HEATING EXCEPT WHEN THE LIGHT GAUGES WERE TURNING ON IN JULY. I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK BRAND NEW IN 2000 AND HAVE SPENT OVER $7000 IN REPAIRS AND REGULAR MAINTENANCE SINCE THEN. THE BATTERY ACID HAS LEAKED. BRAKE PADS KEEP WEARING OUT. SEVERAL AIR INJECTION MALFUNCTIONS AND PUMPS HAVE BEEN...
VEHICLE SHUT DOWN AT 65 MPH WITH NO WARNING, WOULD NOT RESTART AND HAD VEHICLE TOWED. MECHANIC CONCLUDED THE INTAKE MANIFOLD FAILED POSSIBLY DUE TO PREMATURE BREAK DOWN OF MANIFOLD GASKET. NOTHING DONE TO CORRECT AS OF YET, IT BEING CHRISTMAS AND ALL, CAN'T AFFORD $500+ FOR NEW ONE. MECHANIC SUGGESTING NOT TO USE DEXCOOL IN FUTURE HAS SEEN PROBLEM BEFORE. WANT SITUATION REMEDIED. *JB
WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH AND WITHOUT ANY INDICATION VEHICLE SHUT DOWN/ LOST POWER. DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM.*AK
INTERMITTENTLY VEHICLE WOULD NOT START UNDER NORMAL PROCEDURES. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO CLAIMED THAT THE NEUTRAL SWITCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *AK
