TIRES
I DRIVE A 2001 CHEVROLET TRACKER. WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES GENTLY AND TRAVELING AT 20-30 MILES PER HOUR, I HAVE MORE THAN ONCE EXPERIENCED FRIGHTENING SKIDDING DRIVING ON DRY, DEW-MOISTENED, AND WET PAVEMENTS. THIS OCCURS WHEN COMING TO A STOP BEFORE A TURN; A LEFT OR RIGHT TURN HAS THE SAME EFFECT. I AM LISTING THE MOST RECENT DATE OF OCCURRENCE. MY HUSBAND HAS HAD THE SAME EXPERIENCE WITH A PASSENGER IN THE VEHICLE; HE DRIVES A 2002 CHEVY TRACKER, WHICH HE PURCHASED SHORTLY AFTER I PURCHASED MINE.*AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
HAVE BEEN REPORTING CLUNKING NOISE IN FRONT END WHEN I TURN VEHICLE. HAVE REPORTED THIS TO MY DEALERSHIP ON A REGULAR BASIS SINCE 2000. THEY KEEP TELLING ME THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND HAVE HAD NO OTHER COMPLAINTS. I ALSO CONTACTED CHEVROLET AND THEY SAID THEY DO NOT CONTRRADICT THE DEALERSHIP AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO, I JUST FOUND OUT THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN ON THIS THAT WAS ISSUED 4-1-01. THE DEALERSHIP (TEAM CHEVROLET IN COLORADO SPRINGS NOR CHEVROLET HAS EVER MENTIONED THIS TO ME). I FEEL THAT THEY SHOULD BE LIABLE FOR ANY REPAIR NEEDED AS THE CLUNKING NOISE IS GETTING WORSE. AT THIS POINT, I DON'T KNOW HOW I SHOULD PROCEED AND WHO I NEED TO CONTACT.*AK

THE CONSUMER NOTICED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD FLICKER OFF AND ON INTERMITTENTLY. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION. *NLM THE HEADLIGHTS SENSOR WAS AUTOMATIC, INSTEAD OF COMING ON WHEN THERE WAS LOW VISIBILITY AND OFF WHEN IT WAS DAYLIGHT, THEY CAME ON AND WENT OFF INTERMITTENTLY. DEALERSHIP COULDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM. CONSUMER WOULD LIKE VEHICLE REPAIRED BEFORE WINTER ARRIVES TO PREVENT AN ACCIDENT. *PH *JB

NOT LONG AFTER PURCHASING MY NEW 2002 TRACKER 2002, A GLOB OF BROWN STICKY STUFF DROPPED FROM THE BRAKE TO THE CAR FLOOR. WHEN DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, AN IRRITATING SQUEAKY NOISE IS PRODUCED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH
KEY STUCK IN ACCESSORY POSITION, UNABLE TO REMOVE KEY. BROUGHT CAR TO DEALER, IGNITION LOCK CYLINDER NEEDED REPLACEMENT, NOT COVERED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY, (FOR WHICH WE PAID EXTRA). REPLACEMENT COST $294.00 (WITH A SMALL COURTESY DISCOUNT) AND NO GUARANTEE OF PROBLEM NOT REOCCURING. THIS CERTAINLY IS NOT A USUAL PROBLEM AND NOT THE FIRST EXACT SAME COMPLAINT LOGGED WITH NHTSA-HOW MANY MORE ARE NEEDED TO REALIZE THERE'S A PROBLEM? ALSO, HOW MANY HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM, BUT DO NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS AGENCY OR HOW TO GET THE INFO TO YOU?

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
CONSUMER CALLED COMPLAINING ABOUT HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE HYDRAULIC BRAKES. IF VEHICLE WAS GOING OVER 30 MPH, AND CONSUMER STEPPED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP. DEALER WAS CONTACTED, AND STATED THAT CONSUMER HAD THAT PROBLEM BECAUSE THE VEHICLE DID NOT HAVE ABS BRAKES. MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED, AND TOLD CONSUMER TO TAKE VEHICLE BACK TO DEALER AND HAVE THE BRAKES TESTED AGAIN.*AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH
IGNITION KEY GETS STUCK IN IGNITION SWITCH. CAR MAY BE IN ACCESSORY USE OR COMPLETELY OFF BUT KEY REMAINS. AT TIMES THE KEY CAN'T BE REMOVED EASILY AND MUST BE LEFT IN THE CAR. DEALER INDICATES THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM BUT IS NOT A SAFTEY ISSUE, WHICH CAN'T BE TRUE. IF THE CAR CAN'T BE COMPLETELY TURNED OFF THERE IS A FIRE SAFETLT ISSUE. COST OF REPAIR IS $390. CHEVY SHOULD PAY FOR THE NEW IGNITION SWITCH ($189) AS IT IS OBVIOUSLY A PERVASIVE FAILURE MECHANISM.*AK
