Then the turning signal started to make the clicling noise even though you have already completed your turn, no visable lights flashing just the clicking noise then driving along with windows rolled up and ac on eye's started burning and saw smoke coming from steering wheel turning signal I was told shorted out why??? Hallmans states they have never heard of a geo ever, ever...

Steering colume tilt locking mechanisum failed and the colume droped. Had I not been alert vehicle could have swerved and caused an accident. Dealer says steering colume has to be changed but they are no longer available. Wants to put a used one in. It seem to me that it is a manufacturing defect. If not why are there none available any longer? Maybe because of a silent recall! This vehicle has benn towed behind a motorhome for 25,000 miles of it's total 53,567 and has not been out of the high position more than two dozen times since I owned it because I am a big guy and need the room.

Steering wheel suddenly and completely breaks away causing complete loss of steering. Cause: weld with no penatration and poor design. I can't imagine a more serious safty defect.

Shortly after vehicle was serviced at an authorized cheverolet/geo dealer a fire started under the hood which totalled the vehicle. *Ak

The driver's side top hinge is rusted through. The body metal where the hinge is supposed to attach is tearing off or not there. This is happening to both doors and all hinges because of a defect in the metal to which the hinges are attached. The hinges also have defective metal. The 4 wheel drive assembly will not lock in place and won't work.

Bolts are pulling out of the metal of door behind the hinges on driver's side. Dealer notified, and informed consumer that this vehicle was not covered under manufacturer's recall due to vin, and repairs would be done only at consumer's cost. *Ak

The driver's door had begun squeaking in the last two weeks. As I was driving on 03/26/2000 I hit a rough spot in the road and the driver's door popped open and sagged onto the bottom hinge. I had to stop and exit the vehicle to close the door. I can't close the door from inside the vehicle. This is a safety hazard. *Ak
