Brake line failed at an intersection, total loss of brake pressure. Chevrolet notified, dealer could not find problem, part took a week to arrive, and we just fixed it at home out of exaspiration for the dealer, Chevy was great though, line found worn right through. Many failures with this vehicle. Went through 3 batteries and 2 alternators. Upper ball joint failed on the highway, parts department tried to say because it wasnt greased, but I keep it greased, the ball broke right out the side, all ball joints replaced. Idler arm found broken when vehicle taken for re-alignment before that. Various electrical failures (suspected short somewhere as battery sparks when reconnected). Fuel pump failure at 65,000 miles, preceeding fuel guage malfunction about 6 mo's before, replaced fuel pump. Heating failure suspected due to dex-cool coolant (coolant solidifies and jams heater core, ect...), vehicle reverse flushed, and new thermostat installed, not much improvement, blows harder but still cold. Transmission slips on occasion. Currently leaks steering fluid, this has not been corrected as I bought a new truck, and have not had time to fix the S10. Water coming in from somewhere, carpet consistently soaked. Very unhappy with vehicle with so many repairs, truck only has 70,000 miles, components failed far before their time, more minor things wrong but repaired. We are lucky to have a garage and a whole lot of tools for this vehicle.
