This problem is magnified with winter driving on icy roads. I would like to see General Motors correct this problem at no cost to me as soon as possible. No summary listed for above vehicle.
Original and 3 additional ignition coils, caps, and harnesses corroded in a 4 yr time span. Original and two replacement catalytic converters also needed to be replaced. Most recent catalytic converter was so badly melted, twisted & damaged the mechanic stated that I was "lucky" not to have the entire engine blown. Also, he never saw anything this badly damaged in his 25 yrs of servicing many makes of vehicles. This is a 4 yr old vehicle and it seems like a trend is established for replacing these same parts appx. Every 17-20,000 miles and 10 months apart - just long enough that GM will not honor the parts warranties. I do drive this vehicle long distances (300 miles one way each week to a worksite) but also maintain it to the manufacturers specs. I thought I bought a reliable vehicle, but the dependability is questioned when the vehicle loses momentum and stalls on highway driving, the service engine light continually pops on, & I'm paying large sums of money for towing & replacement parts to resolve a problem GM will not admit to having with this vehicle. GM has not acknowleged this problem or resolved it in any way. A customer service rep stated that this is "normal" maintenance to replace these parts, as well as the 100,000 mile warranty spark plugs (at 73,000) which were corroded due to the corroded ignition coils. Additional info available, as well as all invoices if necessary.
Horn contact and/ or cancelling cam was replaced twice. When turning the wheel certain places have a dead spot. Also, the passenger's seat does not lock in place, it rocks. When pulling seat belt across consumer, and leaning forward to adjust the radio, seat belt locks up. While driving down the road at approximately 20mph in the neighborhood vehicle just dies. Took it to the dealer and was told it was just the battery. Had the battery replaced, and still the same problem. Contacted dealer and manufacturer.

The issue was reported to the dealer during while getting the paint repaired on the vehicle due to acid rain. I believe I was just blown off by the service person. He sadi its normal for these trucks to do this. After reviewing the many cases in the database here it does not sound "normal" in many cases I can leave my foot off the peddle in traffic and the truck will keep going. When I pull up to park the engine will idle at about 2000 rpms for 10 seconds then return to normal. At times I must also brake to slow the vehicle when the idle hangs. Its really not a big problem to me because I used to it, but I believe it needs to be addressed. I do not want to return my vehicle due to the fact I do not know what they will tell me next. Don't blame the dealer blame Chevy cause john jones was great to me.
When driving at any speed vehicle stalls, and gas gauge isn't working. Vehicle has been at repair shop three times, and the dealer can't determine the problem.
Whenever the air conditioner is being used and the temperature is 90 degrees or above, a loud roaring sound comes from the engine and the truck loses power. It actually sounds like the engine is falling out of the truck. The driver has to floor the truck in order to get it to move. Dealer gave consumer a letter from GM, stating that this was a normal condition for the S10 pickup.
