My problem is that my husband and brother in-law broke the plastic framing (I guess?) that attaches the side windows to the car itself. Not sure that is the best description, but hopefully some one can help me figure out if and where ... Read More

  GM Customer Service has not responded to 3 separate inquiries from me. I own a 2001 Chevrolet Tracker purchased new... and impeccably serviced. Consequently it was quite a surprise to me when recently the vehicle began pulling sharply to the left upon braking. I scheduled immediate service and my mechanic informed me that a part called a "crossmember" was entirely rusted through and could have actually fallen completely off while the ... Read More

  Hello, new to forums, but wanted to post a question. I have heard mixed information about the capacity of the Chevy Tracker. I have a 2001 and want to put a lightweight plow ( approximately 250 lbs.) on the front end. Visually, the frame looks pretty decent. Has anyone heard of disaster stories with the front end of the tracker? Thanks.
