What 1997 Chevrolet K10 owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Power steering has gone out twice after making a sharp turn, and a seal busted once. *ak
Brakes are spongy and have long stopping distances. The anit-lock system kicks in the pedal drops to the floor losing most of the stoping power and has locked up the back wheels. Causing control lost of the truck while going around corners. The system will also engage when the truck hit a bump during normal braking also causing long stopping distance and loss of control. Not yet had a total failure of brake system.
When turning to the left, the right front tire hits the a-frame, causing the front end to jump.
