The truck was occasionally not turning over. Tried things like turning fan on, radio, etc and it would start. Security light comes on or will blink. Truck now is not turning over at all. Dash lights blink and or come on when door opens. This is a problem I've seen all over internet, but nothing has worked. I think it should have a recall. I am paying for a dead truck now. Truck was stationary-won't start.

My truck slowly started getting worse. First, the dinging noise that your car makes qhen the keys are left in the ignition or if you leave your lights on, my truck would make this sound with no light on or key in ignition causing the battery to drain. Then the gauges started acting crazy, completely not working at times. Now my truck will not start, it turns over but something doesn't catch or fire. I have replaced the battery numerous times and the spark plugs are new.

2002 chev. S-10 ext. Cab, v6 auto. 88,xxx mi. 9/10/16 sunny, dry am mid 70's.southbound I 41 70mph engine suddenly stopped running. No prior indication of trouble, not overheated, no leaks. Other gauges were indicating normal. I had only driven 5mi. On state hwy. Prior to driving 15mi. On interstate when engine stopped, v6 vortec 4.3l. Previous service to engine included water pump replacement 1 wk. Earlier by dealer. Now on side of road vehicle will not start, turns over, dash indicators, batt. Strong. This vehicle has 88,000 original miles, I am second owner, 2002 ext. Cab s-10. Towed to local chev. Dealer and they replaced maf (mass air flow) sensor, $477 parts and labor,+ tax, and suggested replacing fuel injector system. I declined injector replacement. Drove vehicle 5mi. On state hwy. Toward home when suddenly the engine stopped, as before. Towed vehicle to gmc dealer who recommends replacing the icm (ignition control module) $375 part, it should arrive in a couple of days, and says it's definitely not the injectors. Just doing my fair share to boost the economy. It's all just a money grab anyway. I figure another $500-$1000 and it may run again. Solution : unkown as yet. Instead of carfax, we need a permanent lemon label on dealership doors/show room floor indicating any car or truck history with 2 or more recalls and constant repairs, maybe gm should have failed (bankrupt). Toyota really isn't to good either. What a con game.

Our ABS light keeps coming on and when it does the ABS don't work. It comes on whenever it wants. It is the same issues as the 2000 are having and they have a recall. It recently caused the back wheel not to move at all. We were told the spring inside the module is going out. It also affects the air bag from going on. Also, the ignition won't work the truck won't start. It takes several tries to get it to start. We were just told that it's the starter. The seatbelt locks intermittently and won't let me move.

2000 chevy s10 2.2l auto 76k mi. Passlock issue. Will not start. Left stranded then starts after 10 min or so. I have to leave the motor running when filling up with gas otherwise car will not move for 10 minutes.emergency situation car will not move right away. What if it stalls in traffic or on railroad tracks? This happens randomly every 4-5 start cycles. My understanding this has been an ongoing gm issue. Ether disable it or fix it. I have replaced both the ignition switch and the key lock assembly at great expense and the problem still exists gm offers no assistance in this manner!!!

Chevy s-10 quad cab caught on fire due to electrical malfunction; passenger seat was adjusted (electric seat with heat) smelled smoke and parked vehicle took keys and exited vehicle with passenger. Vehicle burned all wiring and the fuse box under the hood melted. No flames seen only smoke, all wiring melted under the seat and carpet the vehicle would not start and no electrical item would turn on. Had vehicle towed on back of flat bed to chevy dealer. They said it was our fault that a wire under the seat was pinched by the seat track. The cost was over $4,000. They said that the installed zip ties and that the wire would not have any issues again, they also replaced carpet, fuse box, junction clock, sir module, (carpet, harness, module, block, harness, fuse kit, fuse, coil kit, heater yes two harness were replaced) and the complete wiring harness. This then happen a second time, however we took it to a second dealership in al bentley gmc they determined that original repair wire shorten out the system, the wiring harness became unfastened and was cut by the seat track. This time due to my wife quick thinking there was less damage (turned off vehicle immediately and left vehicle in parking spot.) first time happen while driving down highway. Both times parts replaced we have old parts in our house minus- carpet. Dealership confirmed no recall on truck. Dealership said no malfunction occurred even though fuses did not break current. Second time occurred in june 2009 part numbers 15191717,15406165, 12210609, 15075526, 12474331, 88909754, 88914568, 26087310, 88934564.

I bought a 2003 chevrolet s-10 p.u at a used car dealer on 11-13-09, drove it home on 11-14-09 that evening. On 11-19-09, driving it home from the repair shop for not wanting to start, I pulled out onto the highway and the seat slid back on its tracks. On 11-29-09 leaving church, I pulled onto the highway and the seat slid back on its tracks again. I got it locked in place at the next stop light, and when I accelerated, it happened again. When I step on the gas pedal to accelerate, the seat rocks back, which appears to disengage the locking mechanism from the tracks, and the seat slides back. I drove it home on 11-14-09 that evening. It sat in the driveway until 11-17-09 that afternoon, when it got towed to the repair shop because it didn't start on 11-15-09. Picked it up on 11-19-09 around 5:30 pm sat in the driveway that evening. Drove it to work the next morning 11-20-09. Got done with work at 3:30 pm where the truck didn't start. Had it towed to repair shop. Being the weekend, and they're closed on weekends, it sat there through the weekend until 11-24-09 that afternoon got it back on 11-24-09. So for the short time I did have the truck, it happened on the three occurrences I described. I'm 5'-6" tall, so when I accelerate, and the seat rocks and slides back on its tracks, my feet are moved away from the accelerator and the brake pedals very quickly rendering them useless, until I can pull myself forward using the steering wheel and sliding up on the seat. Just double checking that the latch is down. Rocking back to check if it's locked. I have an appointment to take it back to the dealer on thursday to check why it's not starting. I could probably have them check the seat also.

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....
