2000 Chevrolet S10 transmission complaints
Page 2 of 3: complaints 11 to 40 of 46, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Truck was slipping out of gear, and eventually was making a grinding noise when trying to shift. It was taken to mechanic and readout indicated the transmission was overheating. Truck was taken to mechanic a total of 3 times for evaluation when final determination was a new transmission was needed. New transmission was put in; and a week later, the new transmission would not shift into gear. Truck is still at mechanics being evaluated.
Consumer got out of vehicle and took 2 steps, then heard a series of clicking noises, looked around and vehicle was rolling down the hill. Vehicle hit his friend's vehicle. Consumer called chevrolet, and they sent a representative to his home, hooked vehicle up to a computer, and tried to get the vehicle to reproduce the clicking and rolling. The chevrolet representative parked consumer's vehicle on the hill and still it did not do it again.
Automatic transmission in my 2000 chevrolet s10 zr2 made a loud screeching noise. Rpms were way of in comparison to speed. The transmission would not shift gears. Vehicle has no reverse, acts like neutral, drive wil go forward, 1st will go forward, 2nd will go forward and 3rd will go froward.
I bought the chevy with only 30,000 miles on it. But ever since the beginning the third brake light has never worked and I always replace the fuses and the little light bulbs. Also have had trouble with the transmission and have had it rebuilt and the radiator twice. I just have had more than enough problems with the truck I regret buying this truck.
Transmission slips when in overdrive. I can turn the ignition off and the problem stops for a while. I was wanting to know if this might be a factory defect.
I have a 2000 s-10 zr2 and my 4wd hi dont work, module on transfer case broke, also computer behind dash that controls 4wd doesnt work correctly. 100's of dollars to fix. Honestly push button 4wd was a mistake in the first place. There was never anything wrong with the old 4wd shifter on the floor. Mnufacturers should think more of quality not convenience. Now its the middle of winter and I got a truck with only 4wd lo. How lovely
I recently purchased a used 2000 chevy s-10 with 48,000 miles. The vehicle is extra clean and there were no apparent problems. I had to make a trip from atlanta, ga to chicago, il. Coming back on the interstate (traveling 75-80 miles an hour), the check engine light came on and the truck downshifted from overdrive into third. I was nearly rear ended by two 18-wheelers while I tried to slow the vehicle so that the RPM's were not in the critical zone. I stopped at the first auto repair shop I could find, and was told that the transmission was severely damaged and would need to be rebuilt. Apparently, the bands were slipping and caused the fluid to overheat and turn extremely dark. The truck now has 58,000 miles, and needs a new transmission. This is the third gm car that I have had that I have had to have major transmission work done. The last one was a buick and had less than 60,000 miles on it.
Bearings in rear end blew out for no apparent reason after I bought my 2000 chevrolet s-10 brand new and it had 60,000 miles on it.
Oil line to filter leaking-leaking transmission lines.
While traveling about 35mph and without prior warning left wheel shifted the axle, causing an accident due to u bolts falling off.
While traveling 55 MPH the transmission slipped and I had to go from 5th gear to 2nd on a major highway.
Driveshaft carrier bearing gone bad on my 2000 s10 xtreme. Need the entire driveshaft replaced. Only 46000 miles on my car. A driveshaft should last longer than that.
Consumer states that while driving the transmission failed without warning. Dealer diagnosed that the transmission pump had failed. Ts
Consumer states: while driving vehicle, automatic transmission doesn't shift properly (transmission pump is the problem) dealer has been notified. Please provide further information.. Ts
Reverse lockout mechanism is non-functional. Dealer indicated it is a design defect and is not repairable. Safety problem because transmission can accidently be put into reverse at highway speeds (70 MPH ) causing complete transmission failure and loss of vehicle control. Reverse is on same leg as 5th gear overdrive. Emergency passing requires rapid down shifting to 4th gear or 3rd gear. I have used a 5th to 3rd gear emergency passing method since discovering the defect. The problem with 5th to 3rd is that 1st gear can accidently be selected. That will cause engine failure or loss of vehicle control. I would have pressed this issue with chevrolet further but have not because it is a leased vehicle and is scheduled to be returned jan 2003. I still do consider it a significant safety issue and owners should be made aware of the resulting dangers of this design defect. Dt
Consumer states while driving the vehicle will not accelerate while going up a off ram. Nlm
Steel check valve in aluminum seat causes transmission to not shift properly causing loss of forward speed creating hazzard on roadway.
Vehicle got stuck in the snow, couldn't get out as a result of 4-wheel drive being inoperative. Contact dealer. Could not locate problem.
Consumer states that when shifting the vehicle into any gear the gears will start to slip and then the vehicle will start to rev up and finally kick into gear. Contacted dealer and the dealer cannot find the problem.
I have had truck in shop 3 times for transmission/dealer cant duplicate/also the third door has been repaired twice/popping sound when making a sharp turn/main concern.
No summary listed for above vehicle.
Vehicle was parked at an incline, in first gear and park brake set. Vehicle jumped out of gear, rolled down, and hit an iron fence. Vehicle was totalled, no injuries. *ak
Rubber boot cover broke and caused loss of lubricant around right side cv joints, which have broken and disconnected. Vehicle towed to dealer for repairs. *ak a hole was poked in the cv driver axle boot. This caused it to lose grease and bind the wheel. This incident was a result of poor design and very dangerous flaw.
Engine RPM's went to 5500 RPM's, vehicle did not go faster, just the motor. When cruise control was turned off, the vehicle coasted to the side of the road, as if the transmission had went to neutral, pushing on the gas pedal did not help.
Abs braking system light came up on dashboard. Also, there was a noise coming from transmission area. Dealership was aware of problems.
Transmission has a shifting problem. Consumer will fill in additional information.
Consumer lost brakes because grease seals were defective. They were going to replace them, but grease got on the brake pads & damaged them. Only thing dealer was replacing were the seals.
Upon acceleration in first gear, the vehicle moves forward but the transmission slips out of gear into neutral. Yh
This is the second chevy s10 4x4 truck I have had that the transmission has failed. It is jerking when I am driving. That is what the first chevy s10 I had did. I want to know if there are any problems with the chevy s10 transmission that have been reported.
