Poor stability while driving under windy conditions. Feels as though the vehicle is being blown off the road and that a correction could lead to an "over-correction". Even a light wind (10 kph) causes this feeling.

What 1998 Chevrolet Tracker owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
My vehicle was ruined by a chevy dealership and they will not fix it. I took it for a small oil gasket leak and now the car has no power and another dealership said the gas was in the oil and that my vehicle belongs in a junkyard. I have all the information needed upon request. Nlm
The transmission, torque converter, lock-up solenoid has failed. This is the second time, the dealer replaced the first under warranty. It is my understanding, this is an emissions/driveability/economy related component. I am now experiencing very poor mileage and the engine seems to be running increasingly poor as well. Driveability seems to be suffering. The dealer states "nothing can be done." - is this true?
Failure occurred out of warranty time period but well within milage warranty. 3/36 manufacturers warranty. No safety defect listed.
The vehicle experienced electrical problems like a flickering dome light and blown out marker light, turn signal also failed.
Fabric of both rear seat belts is tearing, seat belts need to be replaced.
While driving engine stalled without warning and lost all power.*ak
Blinkers/hazard lights and the air bag light illuminated due to electrical malfunction.
