AFTER ONLY 4 YEARS AND LESS THAN 77,000 MILES, THIS P/U EXPERIENCED A FAILURE IN THE DIAPHRAGM INSIDE THE BRAKE BOOSTER UNIT. I HAVE OWNED NUMEROUS VEHICLES FOR 10 OR MORE YEARS, BOTH DOMESTIC AND FOREIGN, HOWEVER, THIS IS THE FIRST CHEVY. IT IS ALSO THE FIRST, OUT OF SEVEN(7) TO HAVE THIS TYPE OF FAILURE, PERIOD, MUCH LESS THIS EARLY. HAVE THERE BEEN OTHER REPORTS OF SIMILAR FAILURES IN THE 1997 S-10 SERIES?

ORIGINAL AND 3 ADDITIONAL IGNITION COILS, CAPS, AND HARNESSES CORRODED IN A 4 YR TIME SPAN. ORIGINAL AND TWO REPLACEMENT CATALYTIC CONVERTERS ALSO NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. MOST RECENT CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS SO BADLY MELTED, TWISTED & DAMAGED THE MECHANIC STATED THAT I WAS "LUCKY" NOT TO HAVE THE ENTIRE ENGINE BLOWN. ALSO, HE NEVER SAW ANYTHING THIS BADLY DAMAGED IN HIS 25 YRS OF SERVICING MANY MAKES OF VEHICLES. THIS IS A 4 YR OLD VEHICLE AND IT SEEMS LIKE A TREND IS ESTABLISHED FOR REPLACING THESE SAME PARTS APPX. EVERY 17-20,000 MILES AND 10 MONTHS APART - JUST LONG ENOUGH THAT GM WILL NOT HONOR THE PARTS WARRANTIES. I DO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE LONG DISTANCES (300 MILES ONE WAY EACH WEEK TO A WORKSITE) BUT ALSO MAINTAIN IT TO THE MANUFACTURERS SPECS. I THOUGHT I BOUGHT A RELIABLE VEHICLE, BUT THE DEPENDABILITY IS QUESTIONED WHEN THE VEHICLE LOSES MOMENTUM AND STALLS ON HIGHWAY DRIVING, THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CONTINUALLY POPS ON, & I'M PAYING LARGE SUMS OF MONEY FOR TOWING & REPLACEMENT PARTS TO RESOLVE A PROBLEM GM WILL NOT ADMIT TO HAVING WITH THIS VEHICLE. GM HAS NOT ACKNOWLEGED THIS PROBLEM OR RESOLVED IT IN ANY WAY. A CUSTOMER SERVICE REP STATED THAT THIS IS "NORMAL" MAINTENANCE TO REPLACE THESE PARTS, AS WELL AS THE 100,000 MILE WARRANTY SPARK PLUGS (AT 73,000) WHICH WERE CORRODED DUE TO THE CORRODED IGNITION COILS. ADDITIONAL INFO AVAILABLE, AS WELL AS ALL INVOICES IF NECESSARY.
INTERMITTENTLY WINDSHIELD WIPERS BECOME INOPERABLE, OBSTRUCTING VIEW OF DRIVER. DEALER HAS INSPECTED VEHICLE, AND THE MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED. A RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED ON SIMILAR MAKES AND MODELS, HOWEVER, THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED DUE TO VIN. PLEASE PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.*AK

THE APPROXIMATE DOLLAR AMOUNT OF DAMAGE IS YET TO BE DETERMINED, HOWEVER BOTH VEHICLES IN THE ACCIDENT WILL PROBABLY BE TOTALED. I HAD THE TRUCK IN THE DEALERSHIP MANY TIMES AND WAS ALWAYS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY BRAKES. ONCE THEY REBUILT MY MASTER CYLINDER JUST TO SAISFY ME, ALTHOUGH IT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM.*AK

Consequence & remedy
Consequence: BRAKE FLUID LOSS CAN REDUCE BRAKING EFFECTIVENESS AND INCREASE STOPPING DISTANCES RESULTING IN A VEHICLE CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE OIL PAN AND THE BRAKE LINE. IF THE CLEARANCE IS 6MM OR LESS, DEALERS WILL INSTALL AN ADDITIONAL BRAKE LINE CLIP AND IF THERE WAS CONTACT BETWEEN THE OIL PAN AND BRAKE LINE, THE FRONT BRAKE LINE WILL BE REPLACED.
