1996 Geo Tracker LSi from North America - Comments

Stereo locked and there is no pass code available without a fee.

My exhaust has a leak and is loose.

My speedometer ticks continously.

My power steering ticks continously.

My tracker was wonderful during all the snow.

Well man you got a problem my 1996 LSi tracker runs great, but I have a OBX racing pipe and power steering works fine I have no problems with mine, but I only have 30,000 miles on mine and a solution to the radio buy another one.

I dreamed of owning a tracker an then one day my dream came true... for the rest of the day, at least... i will never own another Geo tracker again. what cost me 3600.00 will forever haunt me... i have had 1 problem right after another. i have had to replace wheel bearings on both sides... the speedometer went out the day after I paid 3600.00 cash... the driver side seat broke, therefore making it hard to wear a seat belt in which I just got a 75.00 ticket for... it hasn't cranked in the longest time..guess that would be the starter, but I won't spend another dime on the piece of junk... the wheel bearings on one side were over 125.00 an I had to do that 2 times...

Everyone's expectations are different. These vehicles were built for a low price market. I have had my Geo Tracker for five years, an '89 after buying it from a courier. It now has 497,000 KM's on it, albeit after two motor transplants, having spent no more than $1000.00 in maintenance and repairs in the five years. It has been very faithful even though we offroad it very hard on British Columbian mountains and drive it daily to work more than 75 KM.

Enjoy them for what they are, and don't complain about what they are not!

All I can say is the doors feel very cheap, and going around corners I feel like it is going to roll due to excesive body roll. They are not powerfull at all. Somebody I know bought a 96 for 4500 bucks. To me that seems like a ripoff. I could get a 96 isuzu rodeo for less or about the same and its bigger and safer. I feeel like I'm in a death trap when I ride in it. My friends mom had one and it fell apart quickly. One day she opened the door and it just fell off. Then after driving home from church a month later she was blown off the road during a windy day and she was going about 45 mph

Those of you that have had such bad luck with the Geo Tracker, well I guess it was just plain bad luck. My husband had a '92 Geo Tracker, which we traded in in 2001 (only because our family was growing and we needed something a little bigger). It had 126,000 miles on it, and the only thing we ever had done to it was maintenance (brakes, belts, etc.). It was the best car we have owned to date. It survived the high altitudes of Wyoming where we lived for 18 months and even pulled a horse hauler out of the snow. You think I am kidding, but am not. It was a wonderful car, and we are actually now trying to find a good used one with all these skyrocketing gas prices...

I own a 1994 Geo Tracker and it's still kicking. It is working on 98,400 miles, and the only thing I have done is the norm--brakes, tune-up, tires. Now- in the last 6 months--I have had only 2 minor issues to deal with, one a little tougher than the other--1. the stick came loose from the trans, and that required a trip to the dealer and they had no idea what to do. I found a old CJ-7 Jeep book that lead me to the new part I needed, and went to the 2nd dealer, and part was ordered. 2nd--my drivers side door fell off. It was temporarily fixed with self tapping screws, and now that is starting to give. But still kicking. No engine issues, no trans issues. So it will be driven till--well I guess, the door falls off, or it dies...
