2001 Chevrolet S-10 LS Extendend Cab review from North America
"The little truck comes in handy, was a good value, but doesn't hold it's value"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I drove my brand new truck home from the dealer in the rain. The next morning the floor of the cab was soaked because of rain leaking through the door seal. The dealer attempted to fix this problem three times (three separate soakings). On the third time they stopped the leaking by applying black foam tape to the door frame.
The battery died at 15,000 miles and was replaced by the dealer.
General comments?
Except for the water leaking into the cab right after I purchased the truck, it's been fairly reliable. I don't put much mileage on it though.
My only complaint is the poor handling. The tires squeal some when going around corners (even slowly). It could be the alignment, but it's done this since I purchased it.
