2000 Chevrolet Tracker Complaints

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 CHEVROLET TRACKER. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH THE CONTACT HEARD A NOISE AND THE VEHICLE PULLED TO THE RIGHT.

THE DEALER CONFIRMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR ORDERING THE BOLTS NEEDED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 86,000. UPDATED 02/17/10. *LJ THE CONSUMER STATED IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT HIS VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND THE DEALER REPAIRED THE VEHICLE FREE OF CHARGE. UPDATED 02/18/10

MY TIRE WHEEL ON MY CHEVY TRACKER WAS ABOUT TO COME OFF. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT THE BEARINGS IN THE AXLE HAD WORN OUT. I WAS APPALLED AT THE POTENTIAL FOR ME TO INJURY SOMEONE ELSE OR MYSELF. THERE IS A PROBLEM IS THE AXLE FAILS ON A VEHICLE DUE TO NORMAL DRIVING. *TR

THE LOWER CONTROL ARM ROTTED AWAY FROM THE SUBFRAME ON MY TRACKER WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THERE WAS A SPECIAL COVERAGE ISSUED BY GM BUT THEY ARE REFUSING TO HONOR IT AS IT WAS NOT A RECALL AND MY TITLE IS A SALVAGE TITLE. (THE CARE WAS DEEMED ROAD SAFE AT THE TIME OHIO TITLE WAS ISSUED BY THE OHIO STATE HIGHWAY PATROL) SPECIAL COVERAGE NUMBER IS 06186. CHEVY ADMITS IT IS DUE TO IMPROPER CORROSION TREATMENT IN THAT AREA THEY WILL ONLY HONOR SPECIAL COVERAGES ON SALVAGE VEHICLES IF IT IS AN EMISSION ISSUE NOT A GENERAL SAFETY ISSUE UNLESS OF COURSE IT IS UPGRADED TO A RECALL. *TR

2000 CHEVY TRACKER RUSTED RIGHT FRONT CONTROL ARM BRACKET. CONSUMER STATES THAT THERE IS A HOLE TOTALLY THROUGH THE CROSSMEMBER. SHE ALSO STATES THAT THE FRONT END ASSEMBLY WAS LOOSENED DUE TO THIS RUSTING. *KB THE CONSUMER WAS DENIED REIMBURSMENT, BECAUSE ACCORDING TO CHEVEROLET, THE OART THAT WAS INCLUDED IN THE SPECIAL COVERAGE WAS NOT REPLACED AND ALSO THE REPAIR WAS NOT MADE BY AN AUTHORIZED CHEVROLET DEALER.

I AM WRITING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT MY 2000 CHEVROLET TRACKER. THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT LOWER ARM HAS RUSTED THROUGH AND BROKE AND THE LEFT SIDE IS ALSO CRACKED. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT THAT OLD THAT THE FRAME SHOULD BREAK. IT IS AT A GARAGE TO FIX THE DRIVER'S SIDE THAT HAS BROKE. IT WILL COST APPROXIMATELY $400.00 TO FIX. *TR
