Problems with 2000 Chevrolet S-10 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Alternator failed without warning while driving on a local highway at 45 mph. vehicle remained operational without any lights, signals, gauges or speedometer until i came to a complete stop at a traffic signal where the engine misfired and died even while revving. vehicle was left stranded at a 6 lane intersection without any hazard warning lights, indicators or other lights to warn oncoming vehicles that i was not moving resulting in may near incidents.

At any speed truck stops running. pull over and restarts then goes for a while and dose it again. start truck and key stays on have to turn it back by hand. replaced starter once already in three months. *tr

It just stalled and the radio keeps going on and off once in a while, also the tires keep going flat on me and i put fix a flat in them and they still do the same. electric problem i think it might be the relay not sure. but it has electric problems. *tr

Dt: consumer turned to go up hill and vehicle didn't stall, but wanted to, as if it did not get enough fuel. this happened twice. consumer says that when she applied brake, the vehicle revved and acted as if regaining power back then accelerated quickly. this happened about two weeks ago. consumer shut vehicle off, and when started back it was fine. when attempting to get on freeway parkway west 279 in greentree, vehicle accelerated when consumer applied brake, hitting another vehicle in the rear. this happened a few days later. *tt

Dt*: the contact stated when turning the key in the ignition, it would not release to the neutral position. this caused the starter to grind and the vehicle would not turn off. the contact disconnected the battery and fuel pump and had the vehicle towed to the dealership. the dealership replaced the ignition cylinder. the problem returned and the ignition cylinder was replaced a second time. updated 03/09/06. *jb

Passlock failed on several occassions. dealer repaired each time at no charge(warrenty) brakes failed before 15000miles, had to replace both front rotors. dealer refuses to acknowledge any fault or reimbursement. we beleive that since the millage is so low, the dealer should reimburse us for the repairs.
