Chevrolet S10 jerking problems

Filed Oct 17, 2021 · Airbags, Brakes · KS

Twice now while lightly applying brakes to come to a stop at an intersection the antilock brake system engaged. Since it was unexpected I almost didn't come to a stop in time before rolling into the intersection into traffic. The ABS warning indicator was illuminated intermittently before this with recorded DTC C0268 (Pump motor circuit shorted). Also the transfer case input shaft seal failed which caused transmission fluid to leak into the transfer case, completely filling it. That caused the transfer case vacuum switch to fail and transmission fluid was sucked into the vacuum lines and eat through them causing a vacuum leak. Because of the vacuum leak, whenever I would accelerate to highway speeds and the engine would use what vacuum it could, the 4WD actuator would lose its vacuum then regain it when the RPM's dropped and try to lock the front axle while at highway speeds which would cause the truck to jerk and the gears to grind. And lastly the Airbag warning indicator is always illuminated for reasons I do not know.

I have a 2003 s-10 with 28,000 miles. I have had to replace both co2 sensors and now it won't start. It just started jerking and the fuel pump and filter work fine. Its getting gas and has a new battery. The check engine light is on. It wants to start but it doesn't. Also the radio comes on when I turn it off. What gives? This is my 3rd s-10....

Driving down the highway at 70 MPH, transmission abruptly dropped out of overdrive into 3rd gear, causing vehicle to lurch violently. Vehicle was driven to transmission shop in 3rd gear for diagnosis, which LED to $1,806 repair bill, apparently due to a known valve body issue.

Dt: the contact stated when the brakes were applied the vehicle jerked. When it was explained to the dealer what the vehicle was doing they stated the rotors were warped. A diagnostic test has not been performed to specifically determine the cause of the problem. *ak updated 11/16/2005 -

-brakes failed to stop vehicle (2002 cherolet s10 pickup) while traveling at low speed (20-35 MPH). Brake pedal went to the floor at least once, possibly more, as I tried to get the brakes to engage. Brakes finally caught but on the right side only for the vehicle jerked to the right before it came to a stop. Vehicle, which is still under warrenty, was towed to dealer and no defects or problems were found. Dealer stated that there is nothing they can do to since they cannot replicate problem.
