2001 Chevrolet S-10 LS Extreme review from North America
"I love this truck, but I want more!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Weather moldings on outside bottom of door windows do not stay in place and were warped. Have had this problem since I got the truck. Only second repair recently has seemed to fix the problem.
A/C compressor causes loss of 8hp when it shuts off every 20-30 seconds.
Seem to be having issues with acceleration. Sluggish performance with power transfer from engine and gear switching in transmission.
Third door squeaks. I had to purchase silicon lube, but it still doesn't feel right.
I am still not impressed with the speakers in Chevrolet products. I have never had factory speakers that could adequately handle the power/bass output of the factory head unit.
General comments?
I really wish it had a bit more to give me in performance.
