This is the 2nd S-10 series Chevrolet truck I have owned in the past 4 years and the same problems associated with this make and model are still present with my newer one. The most particular one is the leaking engine oil lines, which is a wide spread issue with the GM S-10 family (3 week back log just to get the parts). I'm also a member of a mailing list associated with the S-10 series trucks by GM and it contains well over 200 members most of which have experienced identical problems with this particular make/ model. I'm not in any way, shape or form dissatisfied with the dealer here in Virginia that has performed any of my repairs and I'm also not dissatisfied with the dealer I purchased the truck from when new. Per the on-line NHTSA home page it states that it is not necessary to receive numerous complaints on a vehicle to have the NHTSA investigate. However, if action is not taken to resolve this obvious flaw in the design of GM's S-series line up I fear other hard working citizens who purchase this vehicle will also have to be subjected to the well known (but not documented?) problems associated with it. If necessary I can provide documentation for all the repairs I have been unlucky enough to encounter. I can also encourage others on the mailing list to file similar complaints here until the necessary people needing to be involve force the manufacture to issue a recall to fix this ongoing design flaw. This design flaw has cost many of us out pocket expenses and time on what should not be consider a normal part of regular maintenance on a vehicle. I appreciate your time and cooperation on this and hope we can work together to expedite a solid solution that would re-establish the consumer's faith in the GM product. Please feel free to contact me for any further details in regards to my complaint. Best regards, jerry kocher email: Jerrykocher@home.com

Ac delco battery came original with the vehicle, leaked acid onto brake line which cause no braking ability, almost resulting in a crash. Dealer replaced battery.
