1998 Chevrolet S-10 LS review from North America
"$1,322.66 in repairs within 2 years...'nuff said"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My water pump went out at 110,000 miles, replaced it myself.
My alternator went out at 120,000 miles, replaced it myself.
Car caught on fire at 128,450 miles, dealer fixed it for $985.00 using junk yard parts.
Windshield wipers work when they want to, and constantly get stuck straight up.
3rd brake light constantly goes out.
Drivers side door doesn't lock anymore using the power door locks.
Interior lights no longer work when opening the door.
Check engine light works sometimes at start up.
Can't complain about the brakes, I've had them for 2 years.
General comments?
Overall this truck is pretty decent, if you can afford it and want to deal with it. I am looking at trading it in right now, as soon as I find another vehicle.
Overall, it has good performance, great handling, could use better interior details.
