WHILE MAKING A TURN AT AN INTERSECTION WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 0 TO 5 MPH, LEFT/ FRONT WHEEL UNEXPECTEDLY COLLAPSED. LOCAL DEALERSHIP DETERMINED THAT LEFT UPPER CONTROL ARM/ BALL JOINT DISCONNECTED AND CAUSED THE PROBLEM. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION / DOCUMENTATION.*AK

THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS. FROM BAD DEXCOOL, WITCH CAUSED A MAJOR OVERHAUL OF THE COOLING SYSTEM AT APPROX. 37000 OR 3 1/2 YR. YET CHEVROLET STATES THE COOLANT IS GOOD FOR 5YR OR 150,000. THE FRONT BALL JOINTS HAD TO BE REPLACED AT APPROX. 35,000. JUST OVER THE 3YR WARRANTY WITH NO HELP FROM CHEVY DESPITE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF THIS FAILURE. ALSO HAVE HAD TWO BATTERIES IN THE SYSTEM ONE AFTER ONLY 3000 MILES AND THE SECOND ONE IS NOW OUT AT 38000 MILES. THERE IS A SHORT IN THE SYSTEM THAT STILL HAS NOT BEEN FOUND. THE SHIFT LEVER HANDLE HAS BEEN A CHANGED 3 TIMES AND STILL RATTLE AFTER APPROX. A MONTH OF USE. THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE MIRROR SHAKES TO THE POINT IT IS HARD TO SEE OUT OF WHEN DRIVING. THE HOOD RATTLES WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS, WHICH CAN BE FIXED BY ADDING A SOLID RUBBER GASKET AT THE TOP OF HOOD TO KEEP THE HINGE STOPS FROM BOUNCING ON THE FRAME. THE FRONT BRAKES HAD TO BE REDONE AT 28,000. *AK

VEHICLE WILL NOT SHIFT INTO REVERSE. UNABLE TO SHIFT INTO HIGHER GEARS. HAD CONTACTED A DEALERSHIP.*AK

VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN FOR RECALL ON THE UPPER BALL JOINTS, CONSUMER WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT THE LOWER BALL JOINTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, HOWEVER THEY WERE NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.*JG

WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH THERE WAS A LOUD KNOCKING ON FRONT RIGHT TIRE, TOOK VEHICLE TO MECHANIC, CONSUMER WAS THEN INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON 1997, CHEVROLET, BLAZER CONCERNING UPPER AND LOWER BALL JOINTS, IT WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE VEHICLE. MANUFACTURER STATED THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL DUE TO VIN. *AK *SLC

WHILE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. DEALERSHIP EXAMINED VEHICLE AND DETERMINED THAT FOLLOWING COMPONENTS NEEDED REPLACED: PCM, SIX FUEL INJECTORS, ELECTRICAL HARNESS, FUEL GAUGE, AND AN UNKNOWN GASKET. *AK *YH

BOTH FRONT LOWER BALL JOINTS WERE DEFECTIVE. DEALER WAS NOTIFIED, AND INFORMED CONSUMER THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER A MANUFACTURER'S RECALL. FEEL FREE TO PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION CONCERNING THIS MATTER.*AK

UPPER AND LOWER BALL JOINTS ARE WORN OUT, CAUSING SQUEAKING IN VEHICLE. ALSO, THERE WAS A RECALL ON BALL JOINTS; BUT THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL DUE TO VIN. CONTACTED DEALER, AND DEALER STATED VEHICLE WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE.*AK

CONSUMER STATED THAT WINDOW WIPERS STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN. *YD

WOULD LIKE CURRENT RECALL LIST FOR THIS YEAR BLAZER TO TAKE TO LOCAL DEALER TO FIX. NO SAFETY DEFECT LISTED. *AK

PITTMAN ARM/ IDLER ARM, AND UPPER AND LOWER BALL JOINTS HAVE CORRODED. A RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED ON VEHICLES MAKE AND MODEL,; HOWEVER, THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED DUE TO VIN. THE DEALER HAS REPAIRED VEHICLE AT THE OWNER'S EXPENSE.*AK *SLC

THIS IS A REOCCURING PROBLEM. I LITERALLY NEED TO GET OUT OF THE TRCK AND PULL UP ON THE BLADES IN ORDER FOR THEM TO FUNCTION - OR CONSTANTLY TURN THE KNOB ON AND OFF, UNTIL THE WIPERS "CATCH". THERE HAS BEEN INSTANCES WHILE DRIVING AND THE WIPERS FUNCTIONING THAT THEY LITERALLY STOP IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION. I KNOW THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THE 1996 MODELS - HOWEVER THE 1997 WAS NOT INCLUDED. I KNOW I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM!*AK

ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF AT RANDOM AS IF THE IGNITION HAS BEEN QUICKLY TURNED OFF (OR THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM HAS QUICKLY SHUT DOWN), WHICH IS A CAUSE OF MAJOR CONCERN TO ME AS I HAVE TO PULL TO THE ROADSIDE WITHOUT POWER BRAKES OR STEERING WHICH HAVE FAILED TOO (WITHOUT ANY POWER). READING REPORTS FROM OTHER PEOPLE HERE, IT APPEARS TO BE A COMMON COMPLAINT, AND I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF ANYONE HAS HAD A RESOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE NOT BEEN TO THE DEALER YET, BUT I WILL BE GOING IN THERE IN THE NEAR FUTURE AND WOULD LIKE TO GIVE THEM AN IDEA OF WHAT ENGINE OR ELECTRICAL COMPONENT IS THE PROBLEM. THANK YOU. *AK

CHEVROLET CONTACTED (REFERENCE # 205786717) IN REFERENCE TO PROBLEMS WITH VEHICLE INCLUDING: FAILED BALL JOINT WHILE DRIVING, OTHERS BALL JOINTS WORN AT THAT TIME AND REPLACED (THEY WERE OK WHEN CHECKCED IN JULY FOR STATE INSPECTION), FAILED UNIT AVAILABLE; IGNITION SWITCH FAILED CAUSING VEHICLE TO STALL AND EVENTUALLY NOT START; PROBLEM WITH EXCESSIVE WEAR ON FRONT DISC PADS (CAUSING PADS TO BE REPLACED 5 TIMES IN 48,000 MILES). CHEVREOLET ADVISES THEY ARE NOT GOING TO TAKE ANY ACTIONS CONCERNING THESE PROBLEMS. COPIES OF LETTERS TO CHEVROLET & RECEIPTS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.*AK

MY SUV IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD AND I WANT TO WHY THE IGNITION SWITCH WENT IN IT, BECAUSE IT COST ME ALMOST $400.00. I WANT TO KNOW IF IT IS DEFECTIVE AND IF IT IS I SHOULD'NT HAVE TO PAY FOR IT.*AK

WINDSHIELD WIPERS DO NOT WORK PROPERLY ANYMORE. THEY WILL TURN ON, AND WILL STOP, THEN START TO WORK, THEN STOP, IF I TURN THEM OFF, THEY KEEP WORKING (THEY ARE STILL ON WITH THE SWITCH ON THE "OFF" POSITION) AND WILL STOP AT VARIOUS PLACES ON THE WINDSHIELD, OFTEN IN A "STRAIGHT UP" POSITION, WHICH BLOCKS DRIVER VIEW. WHEN TURNED ON AGAIN TO FIX, THEY OFTEN STOP IN THE SAME PLACE. THIS CAN GO ON FOR SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO GET THEM TO STOP (REST) IN THE PROPER PLACE. ALSO, TURNING THEM ON DELAY WILL NOT WORK ANYMORE. THEY SEEM TO WORK WITH NO DELAY, OR THEY WILL STOP COMPLETELY ON THEIR OWN. I SEE A RECALL FOR WIPERS FOR THE SAME VEHICLE, PREVIOUS YEARS, IS THERE ANY CHANCE THE 97 BLAZER (I HAVE A 2-DR.) HAS THE SAME PROBLEM? THANK YOU.*AK

BRAKE FAILURE WHILE DRIVING AT APPROX. 15-20 MPH, YOU COULD PUSH PEDAL TO FLOOR AND NOT BE ABLE TO STOP VEHICLE. HAD TO HAVE VEHICLE TOWED TO GARAGE, THEY DETERMINED THAT THE HYDRAULIC BRAKE BOOSTER HAD FAILED. HAD NEW BOOSTER INSTALLED AND THIS TOOK CARE OF THE PROBLEM.*AK

I WAS OUTSIDE OF THE PARKED VEHICLE AND I PRESSED ON THE BUTTON (KEY HOLE) TO OPEN THE BACK GLASS (WINDOW) AND IT BURST IN MY FACE GLASS SHATTERED EVERYWHERE FOR NO REASON. NOTHING WAS TOUCHING THE GLASS AT ALL. I HAVE TWO OTHERS WHO WITTNESSED THIS AND GM IS DECLINING MY REQUEST TO REPLACE IT. I FEEL THIS HAD TO BE A DEFECT IN THE GLASS I DIDNT DO ANYTHING TO CAUSE THIS TO HAPPEN OTHER THAN PRESSED ON THE BUTTON TO OPEN THE WINDOW.*AK

WHILE EXITING INTERSTATE AT 65 MPH, CONSUMER WAS MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN, AND WITHOUT WARNING FRONT PASSENGER'S SIDE WHEEL CAVED DUE TO LOWER BALL JOINT SNAPPING. WHEEL CAVED IN AT ABOUT A 45 DEGREE ANGLE. VEHICLE WAS NOT DRIVEABLE, AND HAD TO BE TOWED. CONSUMER VEHICLE WOULD HAVE ROLLED OVER IF CONSUMER DROVEAT A HIGHER SPEED. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION. *AK

LEFT FRONT IMPACT TO ROCK HILLSIDE FAILED TO DEPLOY DRIVERS AIR BAG. *AK

WHILE TRAVELING AT 30 TO 35 MPH CONSUMER SUDDENLY LOST CONTROL OF VEHICLE, PASSENGER'S SIDE OF VEHICLE HIT A FENCE AND RESTED ON A TREE. THERE WAS ONLY ONE AIRBAG ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OF VEHICLE, AND AIRBAG DIDN'T DEPLOY. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION. *AK

WHEN I BOUGHT THE TRUCK, IT HAD A 3,000MILE 30 DAY WARRANTY ON IT, 60000MILES. 1ST OCCURRENCE WITH ENGINE LIGHT AND DIPSTICK CORROSION WAS WITHIN THAT TIME. DOWN TIME FOR THE TRUCK ONE WEEK. THE NEXT MONTH, I WAS ENROUTE AND THE LIGHT TRIGGERED AGAIN. TOOK TRUCK TO LOCAL CHEVY DEALER WHO HAD LOOKED AT DIPSTICK BEFORE REPLACEMENT, STATED SAME DIPSTICK. AT THIS POINT I CALLED CHEVROLET COMPANY WHO TOLD ME THE $1800 DAMAGE BILL CAUSED BY THE DEFECTIVE DIPSTICK AND SUBSEQUENT TRANSMISSION DAMAGE WOULD BE MINE TO COVER.ALL BECAUSE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED THE FIRST TIME.*AK

THE FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED BY AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP, CONSUMER IS REQUESTING REIMBURSEMENT, BUT WAS INFORMED THAT THE ONLY POSSIBLE WAY FOR REIMBURSEMENT IS TO HAVE THE DEALERSHIP INSPECT VEHICLE AT A COST OF $240 TO SEE IF THE PART WAS REPLACED WITH A GM PART.*JB

WHILE DRIVING IN RAIN WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOP WORKING. WINDSHIELD WIPERS WORK INTERMITTENTLY. ALSO, WINDSHIELD WIPER CIRCUIT BOARD GAVE OUT. CONTACTED DEALER, AND DEALER STATED CIRCUIT BOARD WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE IT WAS ELECTRICAL. *AK

I UNDERSTAND THAT THE BLAZERS HAVE AN INHERENT TRANSMISSION PROBLEM, DUE TO A RUSTY DIPSTICK TUBE. I CURRENTLY HAVE 124K MILES ON MY CAR AND I TOO HAVE NOTICED ON LONG TRIPS THAT MY TRANSMISSION SHIFTS VERY HARD FROM 1ST INTO 2ND. THIS PROBLEM IS EXTREMELY ANNOYING, BUT I WILL KEEP DRIVING IT UNTIL THE TRANSMISSION FAILS COMPLETELY.*AK

CONSUMER RECEIVED RECALL 01V200000 NOTICE CONCERNING LOWER CONTROL ARM FAILURE. CONSUMER REPAIRED RECALL PROBLEM IN FEBRUARY PRIOR TO RECALL. CONSUMER WAS SEEKING REIMBURSEMENT, BUT CHEVROLET REFUSED TO REIMBURSE BECAUSE CONSUMER DID NOT USE GMC PARTS. *AK

WHILE CHECKING FLUID LEVELS, CONSUMERS SON, WHO IS A MECHANIC, NOTICED RUST IN THE RADIATOR FLUID, HE ALSO FOUND TSB 666841 REGARDING RUST IN THE COOLANT SYSTEM, CONSUMER HAS BEEN TRYING TO GET GM TO ALLEVIATE THIS PROBLEM DUE TO THE SAFETY FACTORS IT COULD CAUSE, HOWEVER IT IS VERY COSTLY, GM HAS NOT BEEN OF ANY ASSISTANCE BECAUSE THE CONSUMER IS NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE VEHICLE. *SLC

THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED BEFORE WARRANTY WAS OUT.

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS HAVE STOPPED WORKING SEVERAL DIFFERENT TIMES WHILE IT HAS BEEN RAINING. THIS HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO WRECK!! I FEEL THIS IS A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT AS MY BROTHER OWNS A CHEVROLET SANOMA & HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. HE REPLACED THE MOTOR & HAS CONTINUED TO HAVE PROBLEMS. THIS IS GETTING TO BE VERY COSTLY. THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD COVER IT. HOW CAN I CONTACT CHEVROLET AS WELL?*AK

TRANSMISSION TUBE AND DIP STICK WERE RUSTED AND FINE SEDIMENT WAS IN THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. THIS PART SHOULD BE IMPROVED BY GENERAL MOTORS AND A RECALL INITATED ON THEIR PART THE REPAIR COST OF EACH FAILURE IS 750.00 TO 800.00. I HAVE NOTICED MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ABOUT BLAZER AND OTHER CHEVROLET/GMC TRANSMISSIONS

PERIODICALLY VEHICLE WOULD STALL WHETHER AT 65 MPH OR 25 MPH. DEALER HAS NOT FOUND SPECIFIC CAUSE OF DEFECT OR REMEDY, BUT HAD ADMITTED TO STALLING. PLEASE ADD ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. *AK

CRUISE CONTROL CABLE/ PLASTIC RETAINER SNAPPED, CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED BY ITSELF. ON APPROACH TO AN INTERSECTION ACCELERATOR PEDAL JAMMED DESPITE RELEASE OF FOOT FROM PEDAL. ATTEMPTED TO BRAKE WITH BOTH FEET ON BRAKE PEDAL WITH NO APPARENT SLOWING OF VEHICLE. GIVEN THE FACT THAT BOTH OF MY YOUNG CHILDREN WERE IN THE VEHICLE, AND WE WERE QUICKLY APPROACHING THE INTERSECTION, I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL. WITH BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKE AND STILL NO SLOWING OF THE VEHICLE, MY CONCERN FOR THE SAFETY OF MY CHILDREN BECAME OVERWHELMING. WITH MY ENGINE REVING AT AN AUDIBLY 'PENDING- DOOM' LEVEL, AND CARS CRUISING DIRECTLY ACROSS MY PATH, ( CROSSING TRAFFIC DID NOT HAVE A STOP SIGN), I SLAMMED MY VEHICLE INTO PARK AND PRAYED FOR IT TO STOP. I THEN PROCEEDED TO TURN OFF THE IGNITION AND IT WASN'T UNTIL AN ETERNITY OF A SECOND LATER THAT THE VEHICLE CEASED. THE SEQUENCE OF EVENTS THAT TOOK PLACE, ULTIMATELY RESULTED IN THE TOWING OF THE VEHICLE, AND THE REPLACEMENT OF THE ENGINE. MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS FOR THE FUTURE SAFETY OF THE MANY FAMILIES WHO OWN THESE SUV'S. PLEASE CONTACT ME.

WHILE DRIVING 60 TO 70 MPH CONSUMER STATED VEHICLE STALLED IN MIDDLE OF HIGHWAY WITHOUT WARNING. WHEN ENGINE STALLED ENGINE CHECK LIGHT CAME ON. CONTACTED DEALER, AND DEALER STATED IT WAS A MODULE IN FUEL TANK.*AK

WHEN FIRST EXPERIENCED WE WERE COMING HOME FROM HERSHEY ON A HOT DAY WHEN WE CAME TO A TRAFFIC LIGHT. WHEN WE PROCEEDED THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED REAL HARD INTO SECOND GEAR CAUSING US TO JERK BACK AS THE TRUCK JERKED FORWARD. THIS PROBLEM CONTINUED EVERYTIME WE WOULD COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. WE WERE ABLE TO MAKE IT TO OUR MECHANIC AND DROP THE BLAZER OF. THE NEXT DAY WHEN THE MECHANIC LOOKED AT THE VEHICLE HE COULD NOT DETECT ANY MALFUCTIONS. APPROX. ONE WEEK LATER WE DROVE TO NEW JERSEY, THE TRUCK WAS FINE UNTIL WE CAME TO OUR FIRST TRAFFIC LIGHT IN OCEAN CITY NJ WHEN THE PROBLEM STARTED AGAIN BUT THIS TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN LEAVING NJ THE PROBLEM STARTED WHEN WE HAD TO STOP AT OUR FIRST TOLL, THIS TIME I PULLED OVER LET THE BLAZER REST FOR A WHILE, THEN STARTED BACK HOME AND IT WAS OK FOR AWHILE BUT THEN STARTED ACTING UP AGAIN SO I PULLED OVER AND TURNED THE TRUCK OF FOR ABOUT A MINUTE AND IT WAS OK FOR A WHILE AGAIN. I NOTICED THAT EVERYTIME IT ACTED UP AND I PULLED OVER THAT I JUST HAD TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND TURN IT RIGHT BACK ON AND IT WOULD BE OK FOR A WHILE. WHEN RETURNING HOME OUR MECHANIC COULD NOW SCAN THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT AND REPORTED GEAR SLIPPAGE. HE TALKED TO A TRANSMISSION SPECIALISTS WHO SAID THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN ON LONG HOT TRIPS, WHO SUGGESTED THAT THIS PROBLEM CAN LAST FOR YEARS BEFORE THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. CONTACTING AW GOLDEN THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT HELP US BECAUSE THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED AT 36000 MILES

WHILE DRIVING IN A RAIN STORM WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED OPERATING. WHEN THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM, INDICATED SEVERAL SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THIS MODEL AND YEAR. *AK

THE TRANSMISSION HAD A SLIP. THE VALVE INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION IS TOO SMALL AND PRESSURE BUILDS UP WHEN IT GETS HOT AND DIRTY. I HAD THE VEHICLE IN AT 35K WITH THE PROBLEM. THEY DIDN'T REPLACE THE VALVE, ONLY CLEANED IT. THEN AT 68K, THEY SAID THEY WOULD HAVE TO TEAR THE TRANNY APART AND REPLACE THE VALVE. THEY WANTED $1200, I FOUND A TRANNY SPECIALIST WHO FIXED IT FOR $250. HE SAID THE ORIGINAL VAVLE WAS THE PROBLEM. I HAVE FOUND HUNDREDS OF BLAZER OWNERS WITH THIS PROBLEM AND CHEVY IS MAKING US PAY FOR THEIR PROBLEMS.*AK

THE GAS PEDAL HAS BEEN STICKING SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. WHEN I WENT TO GET AN OIL CHANGE IN APRIL OF 2001 I HAD AN ALL POINT VEHICLE INSPECTION DONE. WHEN I WENT TO GET MY VEHICLE THEY TOLD ME THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE UPPER & LOWER BALL JOINTS ON THE FRONT RIGHT SIDE OF MY CHEVROLET BLAZER 4WD. I PHONE THE GM HOTLINE & I WAS TOLD THE MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED ON A RECENT RECALL THAT I JUST RECEIVED BY E-MAIL FROM AUTOBYTEL. COULD YOU PLEASE HELP ME TO FIND OUT IF MY VEHICLE IS PART OF A RECALL? THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONCERN. LISA COOK. *AK
