What 1994 Chevrolet S10 owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
I own a 1994 chevrolet s-10 2wd regular cab pickup. The tailgate cables on my truck are either failing or have failed. I do not use my vehicle for any special purposes, just normal everyday use. Through the regular opening and closing of my tailgate my right-side cable has snapped, and my left-side cable is freying and I expect to snap in the near future. If the left-side cable snaps there will be nothing keeping the tailgate from falling off. I am afraid that when it fails it will be under load and someone will be injured.
We have several problems with this vehicle, we have had to replace front hub assembly, 4x4 components, door hinge, air conditioner compressor, while driving on the highway the front passenger wheel fell off at 70 MPH., at this time we have to stop and water down the front brake area when driving over 20 miles at a time please can you help with info on this vehicle???
