1995 Chevrolet S-10 LS review from North America
"Not worth the savings in purchase price, all savings spent on repairs"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The rotor had to be replaced at 40,000.
The water pump and head gasket blew at 69,700.
The windshield wipers stopped working.
Something called "synchros" are going out as I write this sentence.
The differential has been seeping since 1995.
The EGR valve and the catalytic converter were replaced at 75,000.
The air-conditioner stopped working at about 75,000 miles, I haven't fixed it because they say it will cost around $750.
The truck had a tendency to surge, (take off by itself when I was idling at a light.) It seems to have stopped after I replaced the EGR valve.
General comments?
I do not recommend that anyone purchase any vehicle made by Chevrolet, especially one that has only 4 cylinders.
Do not bother buying the extended warranty, they will fail to diagnose what is wrong with your vehicle until after the warranty runs out. This happened to me regarding my blown head gasket.
I personally will never buy from Chevrolet again. They used after market parts on my differential, (which is still seeping), thus voiding my warranty anyways.
