1998 Chevrolet S-10 LS review from North America
"A regrettable waste of my hard earned money!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear view mirror has fallen off.
Right side mirror has fallen off. On it's own. Was recovered, but is broke due to falling on the pavement.
Seat adjusters have broken off.
Center console cover has broken off.
Vanity light covers on visors have broken off.
My cable that holds the spare tire up under the bed snapped. Spare tire was lost. It was a nightmare trying to get a new one. I never got it and must use a self purchased spare. I have to carry the spare in the rear extended cab due to the dealer accusing me of breaking it on purpose to get a new spare??? Figure that one??
I now have an electrical problem. My truck is consistently stuttering and the console lights flash off and on and the engine dies when I try and drive.
General comments?
I will never buy another GM car in my life and neither will any one of my family members. I will warn all my friends and anyone else not to buy GM. It is the first one I have owned and I regret it!!
The warranty is basically worthless. I get flak from all the Chevy dealers that I contact trying to use my warranty.
