What owners say
Tl* the contact owns a 2000 chevrolet tracker. While driving at approximately 45 MPH and depressing the brakes, the vehicle began to pull to the left abnormally. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the mechanic advised that there was corrosion found on the front lower control arm bracket and cross member. The manufacturer was contacted and advised that the warranty was extended for the front suspension and cross member corrosion but the contacts VIN was not included. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 177,554.
2000 chevrolet tracker hard top corroded suspension front cross member, noticed the steering was not right when I would tap the brake-pulled to the left--had it checked and the 2 front cross members were completely rusted out and hanging down! I called gmc and they refused to help saying its not been reported and I had too many miles on my car, 109,000. I researched the internet and gmc has fixed this problem on vehicles over 150,000 miles under special circumstances-safety issue. I also found recalls on same vehicle-but soft top not hard tops. I want them to fix my vehicle because this is a safety issue and this tracker is barely 10 years old. Gmc knows about this, I have saw where this has been investigated in 2007 by you, and if not fixed someone could seriously get hurt!

I own a 2000 chevy tracker and the crossmember rusted out. I took it in and had it fixed, spending $900. I was told it was not supposed to happen like that. I took it in because there was a terrible jerking everytime the breaks were applied. The front of the car would pull hard to one side. It was really scary when it happened on the freeway going 65 MPH. I almost lost control of my car. I took it in and they said it was unsafe to drive and they were surprised it didn't snap earlier because it looked so bad!
The car pulled left and started shaking and had trouble stopping.
Dt: the contact's wife was driving down a hill and she pressed the brake pedal which caused the vehicle to pull to the right. She was unable to drive the vehicle , and had to have it towed. The mechanic determined that the cross-member was heavily corroded and broke and dislocated the gear box . The vehicle is currently being repaired, the cross-member is being replaced.*ak updated 2/9/2006 -
