Owner report 10189909 · 2007-05-06 (May 6, 2007)
I TURNED OFF MY 2000 CHEVY S10 TRUCK AND TOOK OUT THE KEY AND IT STARTED DINGING, LIKE THE KEY IS IN AND THE DOOR IS OPEN. THEN IT STARTED TRYING TO START ITSELF WITH NO KEY IN THE IGNITION AND PROCEEDED TO DO THIS FOR A FEW MINUTES, EVENTUALLY STOPPING. UNDER THE HOOD, THE WIRING HARNESS WAS ON FIRE. *TR

Owner report 10045107 · 2003-10-30 (October 30, 2003)
I HAVE A 2000 CHEVY S-10 PU. THE FUEL PUMP FAILED AT ABOUT 49,000 MILES. MY MECHANIC SAYS THAT THIS PART IS FAILING AT VERY LOW MILEAGE. A CAR WITH THAT MILEAGE SHOULD NOT FAILED. IN ADDITION SINCE THE FUEL PUMP IS INSIDE THE TANK IT IS A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR. *LA
