1999 Geo Tracker Engine problems

ENGINE IDLES ROUGH AND STALLS. *JB

I have only owned my 1999 tracker for almost two years and have had major engine problems with it. I had the timing chains and head gasket replaced in feb due to an unexplained oil leak. I have now been informed by the place that did the other engine repairs that it now needs a new oil pump and connecting rods to the tune of 1000 dollars. I have not been given any satisfaction from chevy or my dealership where I purchased the auto. The car has died and it was shaking and stalling out at stop lights as well as when...

Bumper bolts failed(3), in addition, 1 grille bolt, and 1 manifold bolt has completly fallen off. The dealer told me "my license plate was loose". This tracker is losing bolts at an alarming rate. The left front suspension developed a severe "rattle"at any and all speeds. The strut assembly was replaced, but a rattle is still noticable over uneven surfaces. I am afraid to drive this vehicle on a long-duration trip.*Ak

Fan sqealing when the vehicle is cold or temperture is cold. It can get very loud if cold outside. Don't know if fan may fail fail and come apart. *Ak

Current unrepaired condition. Vibration,engine and or related components between speeds of 35mph and 40mph also at speeds between 55mph and 60 mph severe enough at times to make entire body of vehicle vibrate, have driven other like vehicles some exhibit this condition, problem seems to depend on local speed limits and driveing conditions. I have found a similar report in your database concerning the suzuki grand vatari which is manufactured along with the geo tracker at the cami automotive plant in canada. Chevrolet acnowledges this condition as normal. I suspect the problem to be improper engine to body isolation. *Ak

Engine stalls at stop lights, lack of power in cold temp. Engine check light blinks on repeatedly. Both dealership and chevrolet say they need to reprogram the computer but at this date they don't have one written to fix it, I've owned this car for less then 20 days and its been in for repair twice, is this considerd safe when a car stalls at traffic lights, also it has a very rough idle. *Ak
