“Front suspension cross-member of my 2000 Chevrolet Tracker has corroded through the heavy gauge metal adjacent to a support bolt and risks affecting the structural integrity of the vehicle. This is a heavy gauge structural member that should not have rusted through. Severe rust-through is the result of improper metal surface treatment by the manufacturer and needs to be recalled. …”
NHTSA complaint #10461324, filed 2012-06, 85,000 miles“Vehicle was taken to chevy dealer to replace rusted crossmember on steering suspension system in may 2010. The dealer stated that the recall had expired a long time ago and the cost of replacement would be about $800. The recall, which the dealer kept, clearly stated that the recall was valid for ten years from date of purchase. The vehicle was purchased in december 2000. The dealer refused on two addition dates to honor the recall or GM's agreement to extend their warranty to a full ten years or 150,000 miles as your website indicates. Help us if you can.”
NHTSA complaint #10370001, filed 2010-12, 119,000 miles“The key did not come out of the ignition. The vehicle was towed to the dealer and the ignition switch was replaced. The consumer noticed a burning smell. The dealer stated that the reservoir for the 4-wheel drive was burning oil. The ignition problem was a common problem with GM vehicles. The drive train developed a noise, metal was found in the rear end, the steering shaft mechanism broken and allowed the key to go back into the lock position, the fuel gauge was intermittent, and the A/C was inoperative.”
NHTSA complaint #10050419, filed 2004-01, 28,700 miles“I have recently had to replace my steering shaft on my 2000 chevy Tracker. This exact same part has been recalled in the 1999 Tracker. Why is it not recalled in the 2000 when it is the exact same part??this has cost me over $500.00. I was driving in my vehicle with my 2 year old and 5 year old when it went out. How upset I was when I learned through chevy that it is the same part but since it was a different year they would do nothing.”
NHTSA complaint #10064466, filed 2004-04“While turning right steering wheel locked. Consumer was able to maintain control of the vehicle, and drove it to the dealer for inspection. Mechanic could not duplicate the problem.”
