Truck has ABS lights on when driving at lower speeds as soon as the fluids are not cold the check gushes light comes on and the oil pressure gauge needle drops until the throttle is again depressed... Also ABS in rear shakes whole truck when going below 50mph and then continues up to 80mph before subsiding. The truck has serious steering issues constant leaks caused I'm sure my rack and pinion are worn down as well as now my tires and supension I have so many problems like the interior is crumbling to pieces the body has giant holes from improper painting options on this model I have over sized tire wells that are rusted completely out it make your company look silly for not making these vehicles better when they last people keep buying them again and again! Seems like you probably use parts for many years on many models funny how every year including the year it was manufacturered there were recalls except for mine is that just because it's older

While traveling on i85 at 70 MPH in the far left lane passing a car I hit the rumble strips on the shoulder and the truck lost all power. I was able to move to the shoulder on the right side of the road. Thinking I would not be able to restart the car to my surprise the car started back and I took off. I forgot about this until I recently heard of recent recalls.

2001 chevy s-10 four cylinder automatic appeared to be dead. When key inserted and turned over there were no lights on dash. After it sat a few seconds I attempted to restart engine. All dash lights and gauges appeared to come on. The radio was reset to 1:00 as if all systems had went dead. There was a whining noise coming through into the cab of the truck and all the dash lights seemed to flicker. This has happened three times in the last four days. All instances are for just a few seconds and then everything appears to be okay on the restart except that the clock has always reset to 1:00. The last instance today occurred as I started the truck and left a parking space. I got about 50 feet and the vehicle died and coasted to a stop with all dash lights inoperative. When I turned key off for just a few seconds and then attempted to restart again everything came back on and the clock was reset to 1:00.

Dt*: the contact stated the battery in the vehicle has been replaced three times within the last five years. The first one exploded and leaked acid inside the vehicle. The dealership replaced the battery with an AC delco battery; the same brand of battery that was sold with the vehicle. This battery failed in less than one year. The third battery also failed within one year of purchase. While driving 40 MPH the vehicle stalled. An independent mechanic tested the battery and found that all of the cells were dead.
