1998 Chevrolet S10 Fuel system Problems

“My gas pedel stuck and the cable frayed causing the engine to race while in gear,lucky I was on a back road and not in traffie,on a 98 S10 pickup,I say that chevy should fix all ,public has no say on how they make their cars, gas pedels should always work,”

“I backed out of my driveway. Began slowly traveling down the hill that I live on. The brakes completely failed. The brake warning light was not on prior to this occuring. The engine also stalled. I had no way to slow or stop safely, as the parking brake cable was rusted and did not work. I made it to the bottom of the hill. Ended up driving off of a small embankment causing damage to the front bumper and other external areas in the front. The hood and driver side door are no longer sealing very good. A repair shop had to replace much of the brake lines due to failure caused by rust. …”

“Service engine light came on while attempting slow acceleration on an interstate incline. This is the 3rd time this has happened since nov 2001, service center unable to diagnose after one day depite being told about previous symptoms and repairs.

“Gas odor- upon state inspection failure revealed both gas lines were able to rub together, causing a lot of fuel to leak onto the exhaust causing smoke. Both lines will need to be replaced to avoid the truck exploding or catching fire. Funny how you can only buy the fuel lines from Chevrolet. What is to keep them from rubbing together again after I spend the four hundred dollars to have it fixed? This is a defect. Also, faulty windshield wiper motors or wiring allows the windshield wipers to just completely stop while it is downpouring rain. I could have ended up in the lake! …”
