Chevy Tracker?

I have a 2001 Chevy Tracker with only 20,000 miles on it (actually bought it from my grandma lol).

The problem is that sometimes (I’ve noticed more often in the rain) it does this thing where once I ease my foot off the accelerator to let it coast I feel a little “kick” and the speed starts going down dramatically.

Usually when I let my foot off the accelerator on the highway it will go down maybe 1 mile in 3 seconds.

When it’s acting up, it will go down 10 miles in 3 seconds and there’s actually the physical sensation that something’s stopping the car.

I have no idea what this could be, I only drive basically one road and I wasn’t going uphill or downhill during any of this.

I recently got my car inspected and they found nothing wrong…I didn’t mention this though.

Does anyone know what it might be, how much it would cost to fix it?

    This site’s about – Saving Time, Effort, Money & Frustration!

    I love my Tracker and as I browsed around the net to find out what I could about these machines, I discovered that there’re a ton of people who modify and off road them.

    It’s unbelievable where some people take these rigs – over rocks, through mud, muck and water. To top it all off, some of the mod jobs look fantastic as well.

    I’m a little old to start serious offroading, but when I got my Tracker, I wanted to spruce it up a bit. You can follow my project over at TrackerSidekickHq.com,

    Now I don’t like paying more than I have to for anything – who does? I also hate wasting a ton of time searching for this or that part. So, naturally, I headed off to the search engines

    If you’ve searched for anything on Google or the other search engines lately, you’ve probably noticed thatĀ  you can spend a ton of time going round and round in circles looking for this or that part. Quite frankly it can be downright frustrating.

    Well, I`ve done a ton of searching and discovered a number of suppliers that stock Chevy Tracker and Geo Tracker parts as well as those for their cousins, the Suzuki Samurai, Sidekick and Vitaras.

    So, I got to thinking, why not let others benefit from my efforts to save time, effort, money and frustration. This site is the result of that.

    This site will be a constant work in progress as I discover new resources, so be sure to check back often.

    So there you have it.

    I do suggest that you take the time to read theĀ  Affiliation / TOS page.

    Chevy Tracker Parts – The Start

    trackersm3 150x90 Chevy Tracker Parts   The Start

    Hey, I’m glad you stopped by.
    The C hevy Tracker is part of a large family of mini-SUVs introduced by Suzuki. There have been the Jimny, Samurai, Sidekick, Vitara and Grand Vitara, to name only the more recent models.
    There’s a good overview of the history of these fantastic mini-SUV’s, here at Wikipedia
    GM then started making the same model, re-badging it as the Chevy Tracker, the Geo Tracker, the Pontiac Sunrunner and I’ve probably missed a couple. It can get pretty confusing, but no matter what the name.
    Bottom Line, though: These are great, fun machines!
    The Beginningsj 150x112 Chevy Tracker Parts   The Start

    To make a long story short, my first look at one of these little beasties was in Fuerteventura wheb I rented a Suzuki Jimny. It was a blast, but vacation ended and I quickly forgot about it.

    Fast forward a few years and I decided that I wanted a summer fun car and started out looking for a sports car. One thing led to another, and I remembered the Jimny. That`s when I forgot about a sports car, started looking for a Jimny. At first I wondered if we had these things in Canada and to my surprise found out we had the ChevyTracker and Geo Trackers, as well as the Suzuki variants (mainly the Sidekick and the Vitara).

    That was it! A bit of searching and I wound up with the 2003 Chevy Tracker that you see up above on the right. Not quite a sports car right?

    But it`s great and, I get to use it in the Canadian winters. Now, that`s cool.

    Hope you like the site and find it useful.
