2003 Chevrolet S-10 LS review from North America
"I would never buy this truck again"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Ball joints replaced a week after I purchased it.
Ball joints replaced 6 months after I bought it.
Ball joints replaced 15 months after I bought it.
Ball joints to be replaced Thursday, February 9--30 months after purchased.
Muffler replaced 9 months after purchase.
Rear shocks replaced 11 months after purchase.
Rubber around windshield replaced 2 months after I bought it.
Handle on third door broke and had to be replaced at 24,000 miles.
Starter had to be replaced at 28,400 miles.
Oil gauge was bouncing from one side to the other at all times. Chevy checked it out and said it was OK. Doesn't do it now though.
General comments?
I love the way my truck looks whenever it is cleaned up.
However, I have had so many problems with my truck, it is hard to give a positive review about its performance.
