Driving on highway in stop and go slow traffic for an hour, the clutch stopped operating properly, then 2nd and 3rd gear would not work. Dealer service manager says these clutches get hot and I should just pull off the road for 10 minutes! I also had A/C on. Dealer can't recreate the problem, and denies it exist.

S-10 Pickup 4-cyl

  • Manual transmission

Tailgate fell off while driving. One side stayed attatched causing tailgate to drag. Also, engine makes high pitch squealing noise between 4000-4500 rpms. Also 5th gear went out while driving down the freeway. Have had several friends that own the same vehicle have transmission problems like this. Also, molding around front windshield likes to melt.
