2000 Chevrolet Tracker LX 4 Door from North America - Comments

"Very reliable, fun vehicle"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Exhaust manifold bracket broke causing the exhaust manifold to crack at 37,000 miles, just out of warranty. Dealer called it in to customer service and Chevrolet agreed to cover parts and labor for the repair.

Interior door latches are weak. I broke two so far.

Interior plastic scratches easily.

Four wheel drive low not geared low enough.

Squeaky belt (?) under the hood if the vehicle sits out all night in the rain. It takes at least 11 miles of driving to dry things out.

Vehicle is loaded with options which increases weight, causing the 4 cylinder to struggles at times.

Cruise control will downshift to third at 75 miles per hour in an attempt to maintain highway speed!

General comments?

Stock tires lasted 43,00 miles and wore perfectly, even without ever having an alignment.

Replaced front brakes at 35,000 miles and they where the easiest disk brake shoes I ever replaced.

Car is exciting in the turns even at slow speeds. Feels like I'm riding "on the edge"! and probably am!

Goes great in the snow!

Anti-lock brakes add a sense of security.

Stock stereo vibrates interior panels, people think I have a huge sub woofer inside!

Tight turning radius makes parking a easy.

Rear door swings out like a regular door. This makes it very convenient.

I tow this vehicle with four wheels down behind a motor home with no problems.

Feels like your going fast, when in reality your going slow. (cheap thrills and no tickets!)

Not to be too much off the deep end here, But why would you want to drive 75 mph in such a short wheelbase, somewhat unstable vehicle... with a small engine...

Isn't the speed limit max 65 anyhow...

I have a 2002 4dr with the V6. it's not happy at 75 so I know a 4cyl definitely is not...
