1999 Chevrolet Tracker Owner Comments

Tracker

A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

I am the original owner of a 1999 Chevy Tracker. Since day one of ownership, I have had problems with steering wheel binding and ignition key issues. Also, there has been a squealing noise that is loud and constant. It has been to the dealer many times with the same old recommendation of we can't find anything wrong, just keep driving it. Or, there is nothing to fix. The squealing is louder and from reading other issues with the Chevy Tracker, it seems is from the pulley and belt area that is causing the noise that a dealer refuses to fix. Also, my steering wheel locks up and the ignition switch does not take the key smoothly. Meaning, its hard to insert and hard to remove with out force. I have a 2008 HHR that was on recall due to this same ignition problem and the cylinder was replace. The problem is identical to this vehicle. I have 98,000 miles on this car and do not want to get hurt or jeopardize the safety of my family, so I am reporting this issues with my vehicle. I believe from owning only Chevrolet, that your ignition cylinder problem dates way back, then what your willing to admit. So please investigate this issue, before you have more problems to deal with. Make that recall on the older cars, because some of them like mine are defective and unsafe.

Came to a stop at a stop sign and heart a pop. Tracker would then pull roughly to the left when brakes were applied. Upon inspection it was discovered that the passenger side of the crossmember broke where the inner suspension attaches. Called several dealerships and this is something that is not covered on a recall for this year vehicle. Found several forums that complain of the exact same problem on various years for the Chevy Tracker. This is very unfortunate since I am quite fond of my Tracker and rely on it for work and travel with my children, especially in winter months. I am glad this was discovered before it caused a serious accident.
