“2003 Chevrolet Tracker has problems with the battery, the transmitter for the door, the air conditioner, and the defroster. The windows would freeze in the winter in severe cold weather. The consumer would have to scrape the interior windows. The problem would occur in all of the windows of the vehicle including the rear windows, the A/C had gone out, the battery was replaced at 14000 miles and there were several attempts to repair the heating vents to be directed to the floor as the venting only blew into the interior dash. The starter was replaced.”
