“I am the original owner of a 1999 chevy Tracker. Since day one of ownership, I have had problems with steering wheel binding and ignition key issues. Also, there has been a squealing noise that is loud and constant. It has been to the dealer many times with the same old recommendation of we can't find anything wrong, just keep driving it. Or, there is nothing to fix. The squealing is louder and from reading other issues with the chevy Tracker, it seems is from the pulley and belt area that is causing the noise that a dealer refuses to fix. …”
NHTSA complaint #10667827, filed 2014-12, 7,576 miles“The contact owns a 1999 Chevrolet Tracker. The air conditioner in her vehicle would not work. The dealer replaced the compressor, condenser, and the vacuum however; the air conditioner would not work. The cost of the repairs was $6,000. She was also advised that the fan needed to be replaced and the cost of the repairs was $700. The failure has been ongoing since august 2005. The current mileage was 96,000 and the failure mileage was 86,000. The vehicle date of purchase and dealer address information was unavailable.”
NHTSA complaint #10199914, filed 2007-08, 86,000 miles“The condenser sustained premature wear due to a defect in the design of the vehicle. The vehicle has a pusher type condenser cooling fan that forces debris into the condenser causing the condenser to sustain damage overtime causing it to fail. My vehicle has never been in a front end collision to warrant such damage. The cooling fins on the condenser get smashed into the condenser causing the freon flow to be restricted and eventual condenser failure. …”
NHTSA complaint #764967, filed 2002-07“A/c condenser fins are damaged and freon tubing is abraded in a doughnut shaped pattern on the front side of the condenser. The condenser outside the condenser fan blade area are undamaged, and the radiator is undamaged. The damaged area is free of debris and is shiny. When the condenser tubing wears through and freon escapes, the A/C will become nonfunctional. This will decrease the effectiveness of the defrosting capabilities in high humidity conditions and create a low visibility hazzard. …”
