Specific symptoms reported on the 1995 Geo Metro
Recalls 1
Service brakes, hydraulic: foundation components: drum
- What is wrong
- The rear brake drums were not correctly machined. As the vehicle is driven, loss of wheel clamp load can result from this condition. Once clamp load is lost, all tire loads are directly taken by the wheel studs. This loading can cause fatigue failure of the wheel studs.
- Risk
- If this occurs, a wheel could separate from the vehicle, and a crash could occur without prior warning.
- Remedy
- Replace rear brake drums.

Tl*- the contact owns a 1995 geo metro with an odometer reading of 108000 miles. The contact stated that had pitting in windshield which caused the windshield to have a glare and visibility problems when the sun shinede on the windshield. The contact did not know how the windshield became pitted.
I had 95 geo metro, the day I wrecked it was raining. I was coming upon a curve, and I hit my brakes. It had anti lock brakes. They locked up, and the car started spinning around. I couldn't get control of the vehicle, and the car had turned on its top in a covert. My 15 year old daughter was in with me, and neither air bag had came out like it was suppose to. The whole front grill came to rest across the road from where the car was. I lost the use of the vehicle, because it could not be fixed. The top was pushed in, the windshield was cracked, and the front grill was off. The rear passenger tire is pushed toward the rear passenger door. The law had came out, and I don't know if he filed a report. He had asked if I was going to report it to the insurance company, and I replied no. There were no other vehicles involved, and as for us we seemed alright just bruised and sore all over. I can't remember the exact date, but it is close to it.
Back doors w/child security locks fail to unlock once placed into child protection mode. Doors taken apart and "repaired" however chevy dealer only sprayed wd-40 into locks. Doors opened once and have not opened for the last 4 monthes.
While driving at 20 MPH vehicle was involved in a head on collision, and airbag did not deploy.
My geo metro went down a hill flipped a couple of times and hit a tree. Neither air bag ever came out.
The dash in my 1995 geo metro is disintegrating in small particles that blow into my face while driving and is particularly aggravating when the heater or air condition are on. I complained as early as 1998 to no avail. I can furnish pictures showing how serious this is. Everyone says they have never seen anything like this. Can you help! Dates are approximate.
In a rear collision none of the air bags deployed on impact. Both driver and passenger sustained injuries.
During brake repair mechanic noticed that frame was rusting behind front wheels.
While driving less than 5 MPH, all steering was lost. Mechanic determined that front axle had disconnected from left side of transmission. *ak this was due to left front ball joint failure.
