  • 69,000 miles
Power steering failure. The problem was with the rack and pinion. The consumer also had to replace the ignition switch.

- Washington, DC, USA

problem #4

Sep 302003

Tracker 4WD 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 45,295 miles
Key stuck in accessory position, unable to remove key. Brought car to dealer, ignition lock cylinder needed replacement, not covered under extended warranty, (for which we paid extra). Replacement cost $294 (with a small courtesy discount) and no guarantee of problem not reoccuring. This certainly is not a usual problem and not the first exact same complaint logged with NHTSA-how many more are needed to realize there's a problem" also, how many have had this problem, but do not know about this Agency or how to get the info to you"

problem #3

Tracker 4WD 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 24,950 miles
Ignition key gets stuck in ignition switch. Car may be in accessory use or completely off but key remains. At times the key can't be removed easily and must be left in the car. Dealer indicates that this is a common problem but is not a saftey issue, which can't be true. If the car can't be completely turned off there is a fire safetlt issue. Cost of repair is $390. Chevy should pay for the new ignition switch ($189) as it is obviously a pervasive failure mechanism.
