UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW DOESNT WANT TO ROLL UP OR DOWN UNLESS I PULL ON IT WHILE PRESSING THE BUTTON TO ROLL IT UP. ONCE UP, IT DOENST CLOSE ALL THE WAY AND YOU CAN HEAR THE AIR COMING IN. IN CASES THAT IT DOES GO UP ALL THE WAY, THE MOTOR SOUNDS AS THOUGH IT IS STILL TRYING TO MAKE THE WINDOW ROLL UP AND I HAVE TO CRACK IT OPEN IN FEAR THAT IT IS GOING TO SHATTER! THE WINDOW HAS BEEN FIXED 4 TIMES BY THE DEALER AND NOW MY WARRANTY IS UP AND THEY DONT WANT TO HEAR ANYTHING MORE FROM ME ABOUT IT UNTILL I AGREE TO PAY TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT AND FIXED AND THEY "MIGHT" REIMBURSE ME. IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN TO WITH THIS? I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET CHEVY TO FIX IT CORRECTLY SINCE 2003. THE SECOND MECHANIC TOLD ME "ITS MADE CHEAPLY AND THIS WILL PROBABLY HAPPEN AGAIN AND AGAIN". THERE SHOULD BE NO REASON THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO DEAL WITH A VEHICLE THAT I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH SINCE THE FIRST FEW MONTHS OF PURCHASE.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, EQUIPMENT:OTHER:OWNERS/SERVICE/OTHER MANUAL
I TOOK MY TUCK TO HAVE STARTER REPLACED TWICE WITHIN A YEARS TIME. ABOUT TWO MONTHS WENT BY AND MY TRUCK IS DOING THE SAME THING. WHEN I DRIVE IT FOR A SHORT DISTANCE IT WILL NOT START I HAVE SIT FOR AN HOUR BEFORE IT START'S. THE DEALER SHIP THAT I TAKE MY TRUCK KEEP TELLING I NEED A NEW STARTER WHEN I JUST HAD IT REPLACED. I THANK THEY HAVE DEFECTIVE STARTER OR THEY DON'T PUT A NEW STARTER ON MY TURCK. I CANN'T SEE A STARTER GOING BAD THREE TIMES WITHIN A YEAR.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP, SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:CONTROLS:FOOT CONTROL/VALVE
2000 CHEVROLET TRACKER, HAVE EXPERIENCED SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHEN QUICKLY DEPRESSING THE BRAKES CAUSED THE FRONT WHEELS TO LOCK PUTTING THE VEHICLE INTO A 10 TO 12' SKID. THE FIRST TWO TIMES I WAS LEAVING A DRIVEWAY SLOWLY ROLLING FORWARD TO ENTER A HWY WHEN I DECIDED NOT TO GO. WHEN QUICKLY DEPRESSOMG THE BRAKES THE VEHICLE'S FRONT TIRES LOCKED SENDING THE VEHICLE INTO A SKID. ONE TIME TO THE RIGHT AND ONE TIME TO THE LEFT. BOTH TIMES THE PAVEMENT WAS DRY AND I HAVE BEEN VERY SLOWLY ROLLING FOREWARD TO SEE IF ALL WAS CLEAR. THE OTHER PROBLEM IS THAT THE BRAKE AND ACCELERATOR ARE ON THE SAME LEVEL. ON TWO OCCASIONS I HAVE HIT THE BRAKE PEDAL AND CONTACTED THE ACCELERATOR AT THE SAME TIME. THE FIRST TIME THE VEHICLE SKIDDED OUT OF CONTROL TO THE LEFT FOR 10 TO 12 FEET. THE SECOND TIME I HAD JUST MADE A SLOW 90 DEGREE TURN ONTO A DRY CEMENT DRIVEWAY DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF A GARAGE. THE DRIVEWAY WAS APPROX. 25 TO 30 FEET LONG. THIS TIME MY FOOT MOVED FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL ONTO THE ACCELERATOR CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO JUMP FOREWARD. WHEN I HIT THE BRAKE HARD THE VEHICLE SKIDDED OUT OF CONTROL TO THE LEFT, LEAVING BLACK TIRE MARKS 8 TO 10 FEET LONG. AT THE END OF THE SKID MARKS YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE THAT THE TIRES DUG INTO THE DRY CEMENT, YET THE VEHICLE CONTINUED AFTER THE MARK FOR SEVERAL FEET STRIKING THE GARAGE. THE ACCIDENT CAUSED MINIMAL DAMAGE TO THE FRONT BUMPER OF THE TRACKER, BUT CAUSED EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE GARAGE. I HAVE DOCUMENTED THIS SITUATION ON FILM AND FILED A CLAIM WITH MY INSURANCE COMPANY.*AK

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
MY WIFE WAS DRIVING. SHE SLOWED TO APPROXIMATELY 10-15 MPH FOR A DIP IN THE ROAD THAT CONTAINED WATER. AFTER GOING THROUGH THE DIP/WATER SHE STARTED TO ACCELERATE BUT BEGAN FISH-TAILING. SHE IMMEDIATELY TOOK HER FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND PUMPED THE BRAKE AND TRIED TO CORRECT THE FISH-TAILING. HOWEVER, THE CAR CONTINUED OUT-OF-CONTROL. SHE THEN SLAMMED ON THE BRAKE AND HELD IN DOWN, BUT COULD NOT STOP THE VEHICLE. IT TRAVELED APPROXIMATELY 375 FEET, FIRST GOING OFF THE ROAD TO THE RIGHT, OVER A CURB, HIT A CHAIN LINK FENCE, CAREENED ACROSS THE ROAD, OVER ANOTHER CURB, THROUGH ABOUT SIX FEET OF 12 INCH BOULDERS AND THROUGH THE WALL OF A BUILDING. THE ONLY WAY WE CAN EXPLAIN THIS, IS THAT THE ACCELERATED HAD TO HAVE MALFUNCTIONED. IN FACT, WHEN THE VEHICLE FINALLY CAME TO A STOP, THE ENGINE WAS STILL RACING AND THE REAR WHEEL HAD DUG A SIX INCH HOLE IN THE DIRT FROM SPINNING. N ADDITION, THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.*AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
THE ENGINE OF MY 2002 CHEVY TRACKER WOULD MAKE CLICKING NOISES. I FIRST BROUGH IN MY VEHICLE FOR SERVICE APPROX. 2 MONTHS AGO. THEN A WEEK OR SO AFTER I GOT MY VEHICLE BACK, THE CLICKING NOISE FROM THE ENGINE IS BACK. I THEN BROUGH TEH VEHICLE BACK TO MY GM DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WAS FINE, BUT I DON'T ACCEPT THEIR ANSWER. EVENTHOUGH THERE'S NO INJURIES LEADING FROM THIS INCIDENT, BUT I'M AFRAID IT WOULD CAUSE GREATER HARM IN THE FUTURE.
