2003 Chevrolet Tracker problems
The Chevrolet Tracker, formerly the Geo Tracker, is a mini SUV produced for Chevrolet and Geo by CAMI Automotive in Ingersoll, Ontario. Although appearing as a compact SUV, the Tracker was actually certified as a light truck due to its off-road capabilities and body on frame construction. The Tracker was produced under many brands in several different editions and in many countries.
First generation
The Geo Tracker was a mini SUV introduced in late 1988 as a 1989 model. It was developed by CAMI which was a joint venture between General Motors of Canada and Suzuki. North American models were to be built in CAMI's Ingersoll, Ontario, Canada plant alongside its almost identical twin, the domestic-built Suzuki Sidekick (Escudo). Nearly all 1989 and some 1990 Trackers were built in Japan and imported to the US because of delays at the CAMI factory in Canada. In late 1989, production began in Ingersoll with about 6,100 Geo Trackers finished, with annual production projected to be around 200,000 units. In the beginning, all Canadian-made Trackers were sent to the United States to circumvent the 25 percent Chicken Tax; the Canadian market was supplied entirely from Japan. Suzuki Sidekicks were added to the production line during 1990.
The Tracker was originally powered by Suzuki's 1.6L SOHC four-cylinder engine producing 80 hp (60 kW). The trim levels in 1989 were base convertible, base two-door hardtop, two-door XL bed, and LSi hardtop. LSi equipment included air conditioner, chrome rally wheels, intermittent wipers, rear window wiper/washer, spare tire cover, three-speed GM Turbo-Hydramatic 180 automatic transmission, tinted glass, and special red/black front and rear bucket seats. In 1990 the LSi trim was made available on the convertible models also. All Trackers were four-wheel drive until a base two-wheel drive convertible was introduced in 1992. The two-door hardtop models were available until 1995 when they were discontinued to make way for the four-door hardtop wagon that was to be introduced the following year. The two-door XL bed was a North America only edition which came with four more inches in the rear and a sealed two door cab. Although Suzuki started importing four-door Sidekicks in 1991, CAMI did not start producing them until the 1996 model year, when America got a four-door Geo Tracker, now powered by Suzuki's G16B 16-valve 1.6L boasting 96 hp (72 kW). In 1997, the Geo nameplate was merged back into Chevrolet and all Geo models, including the Tracker, Tracker XL, and all subsequent editions were rebadged as Chevrolet in 1998.
The Tracker was different from most other light SUVs on the market in that it is based on a rugged light-truck chassis and certified as a light truck. Although it appeared to be a comfortable passenger SUV, it was bolstered by a sturdy off-road four-wheel-drive system with a conventional light truck engine and transmission coupled to a hi-lo, 2-4 transfer case. The Tracker had a strong front suspension with a rugged recirculating ball steering box. The conventional front differential was rigidly mounted ahead of the engine, with CV axles connecting the coil-spring front hubs to the differential case. The rear axle was a conventional light truck unit on coil springs. As a result of the truck-like underpinnings, the Tracker had a fairly truck-like ride, but the benefit was its notable durability in harsh conditions.
The production of the first-generation model of the Tracker (and Sidekick) came to an end in Ontario after 1998 in order to make way for the second generation of Tracker/Vitara. However, the first generation Sidekick continued in production in other countries until 2004.

Negative 2003 Chevrolet Tracker car reviews
Positive 2003 Chevrolet Tracker car reviews

I absolutely love my Tracker! It's the perfect combination of an SUV and a sports car, making it super fun to drive. Despite its lightweight, it offers a smooth and quiet ride. The adjustable steering wheel and contoured seats with armrests for both the driver and passenger make it incredibly comfortable. Plus, it has power windows, locks, and mirrors, as well as A/C and cruise control. Need more cargo space? No problem! The rear seat folds down, and there's even a roof rack and tow hitch with a load capacity of 1500lbs for a utility trailer, ATV's, or a small boat. The best part? I spend less on gas each month than I would on a monthly bus pass. Unlike many 4-bangers, it doesn't burn oil. And get this - it has 4-wheel drive on the freeway, even at freeway speeds! I've driven it up to 60mph without any issues. Last year's snow was no match for my Tracker, and I didn't even need tire chains. I even installed an aftermarket sound system, but the OEM stereo still sounded great thanks to the speaker placement and low road noise. If you're looking for a versatile vehicle that has it all, the Tracker is definitely worth considering. I've had mine for about 3 years now, and I have no plans of getting rid of it anytime soon. With regular maintenance, I'm confident it will be on the road for a long time. And I'll be behind the wheel, enjoying every minute of it!
-
I hope you're doing well! I just wanted to share that I recently purchased a basic 4wd and I absolutely love it! It has such an awesome look and a really stable feel. Honestly, it's one of the best purchases I've ever made.
-
The Chevy Tracker is a blast to drive! It handles great on the road and is perfect for fishing or hunting trips with the seats down. Plus, it's a reliable choice for snowy or slippery conditions thanks to its shift on the fly 4Hi or 4Low feature. You can count on it to get you home on time!
-
This car is not only totally reliable, but also a blast to drive. Its 4WD capabilities allow it to handle situations that larger SUVs can't, and the convertible option adds an extra element of fun.

It's been almost a year since my wife and I got our tracker, and we've had zero problems with it. Even when my wife was rear-ended just two weeks after we got it, the damage was minimal and we only needed a new cover for the rear bumper. The only downside is that the insurance rating is too high, which results in a much higher premium. In fact, I pay almost twice as much for insurance on the tracker than I do for my Trail Blazer. But overall, it's a great vehicle!

Sylvester Raynor 2024-09-15
I got my tracker when I was 16, and it was the perfect first car. It was easy to drive, with just enough room without being too big on the road. I felt safe and had no serious blindspots. The 4 cylinder engine was the perfect balance between power and fuel economy. It did anything I asked, from driving up curvy mountainous roads, to in-town driving, to going three miles up, three miles down on Mt. Currahee (a gravel, washed out road up a mountain...very off road). I could stow gear, friends and even haul bricks. After 6 years, it started to have a few problems starting, but it always started when given gas. It quit when idling at a stoplight once, but the dealer could find nothing wrong.
Nicholas Monahan 2024-01-18
My tacker isn't the prettiest or nicest car in the world, but it has plenty of room and drives well. It's even kind of cute! I can't think of anything bad to say about it at all. I've had no problems with it, and it handles well in the snow and rain when I kick it into 4-wheel drive. The only downside is the gas mileage, but that's to be expected, right?
