| 2000 chevrolet tracker, have experienced several occasions when quickly depressing the brakes caused the front wheels to lock putting the vehicle into a 10 to 12' skid. the first two times i was leaving a driveway slowly rolling forward to enter a hwy when i decided not to go. when quickly depressomg the brakes the vehicle's front tires locked sending the vehicle into a skid. one time to the right and one time to the left. both times the pavement was dry and i have been very slowly rolling foreward to see if all was clear. the other problem is that the brake and accelerator are on the same level. on two occasions i have hit the brake pedal and contacted the accelerator at the same time. the first time the vehicle skidded out of control to the left for 10 to 12 feet. the second time i had just made a slow 90 degree turn onto a dry cement driveway directly in front of a garage. the driveway was approx. 25 to 30 feet long. this time my foot moved from the brake pedal onto the accelerator causing the vehicle to jump foreward. when i hit the brake hard the vehicle skidded out of control to the left, leaving black tire marks 8 to 10 feet long. at the end of the skid marks you can clearly see that the tires dug into the dry cement, yet the vehicle continued after the mark for several feet striking the garage. the accident caused minimal damage to the front bumper of the tracker, but caused extensive damage to the garage. i have documented this situation on film and filed a claim with my insurance company.*ak | |||

| Car veers to rt when brakes hit. does not ride on wet roads at all. notice no trackers on lot gmc is aware of the cars problems but just quite making to prevent paying damages. there are numerous defects with this model. to included seat belt especially the ones in the back. the air bags catch fire when they come out, my rt side of face is still numb a=, also the brakes lock, i've reported this on the survey they sent to no avail. you have to control the car very well if there is any kind of wind blowing. i know they are aware of all the defects, but just got away with this one. *jb ***dimsii ivoq entry posted after 12/12/02 cut-over to artemis****744626 | |||

| This is the 3rd time my abs malfunctioned due to the right rear axle bearing going bad. the axle bearing keeps going bad, causing the abs sensor to read incorrect information. this resulted in either the abs light coming on and therefore shutting off the abs system or the abs kicked in every time i stopped the car even though there were no brake problems. eventually, the bearing will be completely destroyed and need to be changed. then the abs worked fine again until the next time the bearing went bad. what kept causing this bearing to go bad? $500+ each time it needed to get fixed. they did not manufacture new rear ends for this car anymore so thatwas not an option unless i go used.*ak | |||

| The brake pedal and the accelerator pedal are too close and at times level with each other. on three acassions when i stopped, then statrted, then tried to stop again i hit the accelerator pedal as i was applying the break pedal. at one time as i was coming out of a blind driveway and had to stop for an oncoming car i breaked but also hit the accelerator, the car statrted to bounce foward. the harder i breaked and as a result hit harder on the accelerator the more the car moved foward. an accident was averted by inches due to menuvering by the driver of the other car. the dealer and the manufacturer say they cannot do anything without your intervention. *ak | |||
