2001 Chevrolet S-10 LS ZR2 review from North America
"This is a very poorly engineered vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The E-Brake has never functioned properly since purchase.
Generator replaced.
Battery replaced.
Hood latches replaced.
Ball joints replaced at 12,000 miles.
Third door handle replaced.
Exhaust system replaced.
Rotors replaced (Not at dealer).
Ball joints (upper & lower) replaced at 39,000 miles.
Front hub replaced 39,000 miles.
Distributor cap and rotor replaced.
Oxygen sensor replaced.
Electrical problem with taillights.
I'm sure I'm forgetting a few others.
General comments?
Thank god for a warranty and extended warranties.
One problem after another.
Waiting for "common" GM problems to arise like the seat levers and possible fuel injection troubles.
