2000 Chevrolet S-10 Xtreme LS review from North America
"It preaches the value of buying an import"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The weather molding has pulled up from the door on both the driver's and passenger's side in the front. It came right back off after having it fixed.
The switch arm for the windsheild wipers shorted out 2 electonic boards causing the wipers to quit in the middle of the windsheild.
Front passenger side rotor warped and was replaced before 20,000 miles.
The third door became very stiff when opening after a short time and squeaks horribly when opening all the way.
The bed of the truck became unaligned almost immediately so it sits further to the driver's side.
Most recently, the transmission decided to shift down to 3rd gear while I was driving at about 75. Eventually shifted back up to 4th for about 5 minutes and then back down to 3rd again. I had to drive 45 miles at 60 mph running at about 3300 rpm. Having this looked at on the next service day.
General comments?
The 2.2L engine is severley underpowered and requires redlining just to keep up with normal cars on take-off.
