1999 Chevrolet S10 engine problems

While driving 30-35 MPH, a fire started in the engine compartment. Dealer and manufacturer were notified. The engine had already stopped and vehicle was coasting when the fire became evident. The brakes were non-funtional, consumer stopped the vehicle by means of emergency brake. Truck was consumed and totally engulfed in about five minutes. Total loss. *scc

For the second time my 1999 chevy s-10 pickup has been taken to the transmission shop because I have lost second gear and reverse. This is a costly repair, the first time it cost me $1,600.00 to replace a $44.00 part because the whole transmission had to be overhauled. The transmission in the chevy is made with inferior parts and should be recalled to have all the gears replaced. I have also had to replace both front wheel hubs and a motor.
