“HI I ORIGINALLY PURCHASED A 1998 CHEVROLET S10 USED PRIVATE PARTY AND NOTICED A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND MY BROTHER SCANNED THE COMPUTER AND FOUND IT WAS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM AND WAS INFORMED BY MY BROTHER IT HAD BEEN REBUILT LITERALLY 2 MONTHS BEFORE PURCHASED AND WAS SHOWN PROOF WHEN DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEEDS IT SHIFTED INTO 3RD BY ITSELF AND WAS FORCED TO DRIVE 25 MILES DOING 50 TOOK IT TO GM AND WAS INFORMED IT WAS A PRESSURE PROBLEM AND WAS "RECOMMENDED" A TRANNY REBUILD AND THEN THEY CALLED THE CAR A PIECE OF @#$%^ AND WASN'T WORTH IT I PERSONALLY LOVE THE TRUCK AND THEN THEY SAID IT WOULD BE 2500 DOLLARS. I CONTINUE TO DRIVE IT WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND WAS INFORMED THE TRANSMISSION WILL EVENTUALLY LOCK ME OUT OF IT, ALSO WHEN HOT IT SOUNDS LITERALLY LIKE A TRACTOR ON EXCEL AND STEADY SPEED IF ANY ONE HAS ANY ANSWERS PLEASE EMAIL. *TR”

“MY PICKUP WAS SITTING IN FRONT OF MY HOME WHEN IT WOULDN'T START. I RAISED THE HOOD AND A RAT WAS UNDER THE HOOD WITH DEBRIS WITH PIECES OF HOSES AND INSULATION FROM UNDER THE HOOD. AFTER REMOVING THE DEBRIS I COULD SEE THE WIREING COATINGS AND THE HOSES WERE ALL CHEWED AND MISSING WITH PART OF IT IN THE DEBRIS. I HAD DISCOVERED THE SAME TYPE OF DAMAGE TO MY CAR THAT DAY BUT WITH A SQUIRREL UNDER THE HOOD! I'VE LIVED HERE MANY YEARS NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH OTHER VEHICLES. AFRAID THIS COULD CAUSE A SAFETY HAZARD IF IT DOESN'T SHOW UP TILL ON THE ROAD. HAVE NOT HAD IT REPAIRED YET DUE TO THE SEVERITY OF DAMAGE & COST. WHY ARE THE RODENTS EATING THE WIRING COVER AND HOSES IN VEHICLES?”

“MY DRIVER SEAT ADJUSTMENT DOES NOT LOCK PROPERLY IT MOVES FORWARD AND BACKWARDS AT ANYTIME. THIS CAUSED ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT WHEN THE SEAT RELEASED WITHOUT ANY WARNING AND CAUSED ME TO HIT A VEHICLE I N FRONT OF ME BECAUSE OF IT. I FEEL GM IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS DEFECT THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE HAD A RECALL ON. IT THERE ANY LAWYERS HANDLING THIS DEFECT. *TR”
