“It just stalled and the radio keeps going on and off once in a while, also the tires keep going flat on me and I put fix a flat in them and they still do the same. Electric problem I think it might be the relay not sure. But it has electric problems.”
NHTSA complaint #10504072, filed 2013-03, 165,000 miles“I was driving when vehicle engine just stopped. No warning at all. I was able to exit the traffic lanes safely. I was lucky that the traffic was light at that time. The vehicle is a 2000 Chevrolet S10 pickup with only 41000 miles. Initial problem was the fuel pump according to the Chevrolet dealer. Since this happened to me I've heard of two other chevy pickups having the same problem.”
NHTSA complaint #10102712, filed 2004-12, 41,503 miles“On 9-18-2004 fuel pump was replaced after I was left stuck in rush hour traffic the night before. On 9-23-2005 fuel pump was replaced after complained that the fuel gauge bounces up and down. They then replaced the fuel pump but I had to pay out of pocket for repair because I was 6 days beyond warranty. On 3-1-06 while at the dealership in va the car would not start yet again due to the fuel pump and I had to find yet another way home.”
NHTSA complaint #10151609, filed 2006-03, 71,000 miles“I purchased this vehicle from our local Chevrolet dealer on 10/04/2014. I filled the fuel tank on 10/06/2014 and drove it to my residence (about 15 miles.) when I got home, I noticed there was a streak of a liquid on my driveway when I was backing into my garage. I got out of my truck and noticed a fuel smell and got a trouble light to see if I could determine the source. It was running out below the fuel tank. I then took my floor jack and jacked up the vehicle so I could get a bucket under it to catch the fuel that was running on to the floor. I collected about 1 1/2 gallons. …”
NHTSA complaint #10643080, filed 2014-10, 76,952 miles“I purchased a 2000 Chevrolet S10 in january 2001. The fuel pump went out in february 2001. The dealer replaced the fuel pump and alerted me that there were a lot of problems with the fuel pumps on these vehicles. My truck was still under warranty with only 18,000 miles on it. I currently have 101,000 miles on it and after the fuel pump replacement I have not had any trouble with the fuel pump. There is a real problem with the fuel pumps in these vehicles.”
