1998 Chevrolet Blazer complaints

THE ORIGINAL AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILED WHILE DRIVING ON A CROWDED HIGHWAY (MARCH 1999/10878 MILES). THE REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION FAILED WHILE ACCELERATING TO MERGE WITH FREEWAY TRAFFIC (AUGUST 2000/33500 MILES). THE SECOND REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION IS NOW BEGINNING TO SHIFT INTO 4WD LO BY ITSELF (DECEMBER 2000/40000 MILES).

THE FRONT RECLINING SEAT ADJUSTERS ON DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE HAVE BEEN WORKED ON TWICE AND KEEP FAILING. THE SEAT WILL LOCK IN A CERTAIN POSITION AND CAN NOT BE READJUSTED WITHOUT BEING WORKED ON BY A SERVICE TECH. THIS CAN MAKE IT HARD TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE IF THE SEAT RECLINE CAN NOT BE READJUSTED.*AK

THERE WAS NO DEPLOYMENT OF THE FRONTAL AIR BAGS WHEN THE BLAZER WAS INVOLVED IN A HEAD ON CRASH, TRAVELING AT 55 MPH. THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF BLAZER REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE,THAT VECHILE THEN SPUN AROUND AND CRASHED HEAD ON INTO THE BLAZER, CONSUMER WAS INJURED IN THE ACCIDENT (LEG AND BACK). *CJ

I WAS INVOLVED IN A VEHICLE ACCIDENT THE 28TH OF AUGUST, ON A TWO-LANE ROAD. I HIT A FORD RANGER THAT HAD REAR-ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE CAUSING THE RANGER TO SPIN AROUND HITTING ME HEAD-ON AT 55M.P.H. THE FORD'S AIR-BAGS DEPLOYED ON BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES, BUT NEITHER SIDE OF MY CHEVROLET'S DEPLOYED. I WAS WEARING MY SEATBELT, BUT THE FORCE OF THE ACCIDENT STILL CAUSED MY LEFT KNEE TO HIT THE DASH BOARD. I RECEIVED BACK AND KNEE PAIN AND WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL BY AMBULANCE. I HAD TORN CARTLIDGE IN MY KNEE, AND I TORE MY MCL LIGAMENT, I HAVE HAD SURGERY ON MY LEFT KNEE TO REPAIR THE DAMAGE, BUT I AM STILL UNABLE TO WORK BECAUSE OF THE INJURIES.I BELIEVE THE AIR-BAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED AND SO DOES THE BODY SHOP THAT REPAIRED MY VEHICLE. MY INSURANCE COMPANY SENT MY VEHICLE OFF TO BE CHECKED OUT TO SEE WHY THEY DIDN'T DEPLOY AND THEIR REASON WAS I DIDN'T HIT AT A HIGH ENOUGH RATE OF SPEED. THIS ANSWER DOES NOT SATISFY ME SINCE IT WAS AT 55M.P.H.*AK

THESE TIRES HAVE APPROXIMATELY 43,000 MILES ON THEM. THE MINIMUM TREAD DEPTH IS APPROXIMATELY 4/32 OF AN INCH. ALL FOUR OF THESE TIRES HAVE A STARKLY VISABLE CRACK LINE JUST BELOW THE TREAD CASE ON BOTH SIDES OF THE CIRCUMFERENCE OF THE TIRES. IT IS AT THE DEPTH OF WHERE THE STEEL BELTING WOULD BE FOUND. I REMOVED THESE TIRES AND PURCHASED ANOTHER SET OF FIRESTONE AT TIRES WITH THE SAME DOT NUMBER AND SINCE HAVE FOUND CRACKING OCCURRING ON TWO OF THE FOUR REPLACEMENT TIRES. THE TREAD ON THESE TIRES IS SIGNIFICANTLY GREATER. I HAVE SENT IN MY ORIGINAL CORRESPONDENCE, A PHOTO ATTACHMENT OF THE ORIGINIAL TIRES. FIRESTONE STORE REPS. ARE CONTENDING OZONE CRACKING WHICH IS PREPOSTEROUS. THIS SHOWS A SAFETY ISSUE ON 75% OF THE TIRES NOT MANUFACTURED AT THE DECATUR IL. PLANT. I EMPHASIZE THE CRACKING IS UNIFORM AND COMPLETELY SURROUNDING THE PERIMETER OF EACH TIRE. THIS SUGGESTS TO ME AS A RESEARCH ENGINEER, FAILURE WOULD BE HIGHLY LIKELY. (DOT NUMBER: VNHL TIRESIZE: P235/R7515)

DRIVERS SIDE RECLINER HAS FAILED (4) TIMES. PASSENGER SIDE HAS FAILED (1) TIME. ASIDE FROM THE INCONVEIONCE OF TAKING THE CAR TO BE REPAIED AGAIN AND AGAIN.I FEEL THERE IS A SAFETY ISSUE.IF I DRIVE SOME PLACE AND RECLINE THE SEAT AND IT BREAKS IN THE RECLINED POSITION THE CAR IS NOT SAFELY DRIVABLE FROM A PRONE POSITION. THIS COULD BE A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM DEPENDING ON CONDITIONS AND/OR SITUATION. I HAVE TALKED TO SOME GM PARTS COUNTER PERSONS.I WAS INFORMED THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING AND COMMON PROBLEM. THIS WAS CONFIRMED BY AN INDEPENDENT UPOLSTRY SHOP WHICH DOES THESE REPAIRS ON A SUBLET BASIS.

VEHICLE'S TRANS STARTED SLIPPING AT 45MPH. WHEN STOPPED, I FOUND OUT I HAD NO REVERSE WITH ALL OTHER FORWARD GEARS SLIPPING TO WHERE IT IS UNDRIVEABLE. VEHICLE HAS HIGH HIGHWAY MILEAGE, RARELY WAS THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE USED, AND IS ON LEASE FOR $440 A MONTH FOR ANOTHER YEAR. I KNOW A FEW OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS ON NEWER BLAZERS WITH LOWER MILAGE (STILL UNDER WARRANTY) THAT WERE REPAIRED. IT SEEMS ODD THAT THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURED TO A FEW PEOPLE I TALKED TO, AND MAKES ME WONDER HOW MANY MORE PROBLEM TRANSES ARE OUT THERE. WHAT SHOULD I DO???

ON 2/9/00, RUCK WAS TAKEN TO JAMES MARTIN CHEVROLET-BUICK DEALERSHIP DUE TO EMISSION PROBLEMS. THE TRUCK WAS NOT REPAIRED UNTIL 3/7/00 BECAUSE IT WAS "DIFFICULT" TO DETERMINE WHERE THE EVAPORATION LEAK WAS COMING FROM. LESS THAN 6,000 MILES LATER, ANOTHER EMISSION PROBLEM HAPPENED ON JULY 29TH. I WAS DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY WHEN I STARTED TO SMELL GAS FUMES. IT BROUGHT ME TO THE POINT OF CHOCKING AND I HAD TO GET OFF THE EXPRESSWAY AND GET OUT OF THE TRUCK TO BREATHE. THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED ON 7/31/00, HOWEVER, I STILL FEEL THAT A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED ON THE CHEVY BLAZER 1998 EDITION. THE BOTTON OF MY INVOICE STATES THAT FURTHER DIAGNOSIS WILL BE DONE ONCE THE DRIVER NOTICES ANY OTHER PROBLEMS. THIS CONCERNS ME BECAUSE EACH TIME, THE EMISSION PROBLEMS IS BECOMING WORSE THAN THE LAST ONE. *AK

I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE SERVICE STATION I ALWAYS USE FOR MY BLAZER (NOT THE DEALER). AS SOON AS THEY LOOKED AT THE BLAZER THEY SAID I WAS VERY LUCKY I DIDN'T HAVE A FIRE, IT WAS TRANSMISSION FLUID THAT LEAKED FROM A DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION FLUID LINE. THE CONNECTOR FROM THE TRANSMISSION TO THE TRANSMISSION LINE WAS DEFECTIVE. SINCE THE BLAZER IS 1700 MILES OVER WARRANTY, CHEVY WOULD NOT GIVE ME ANY SATISFACTION. THE SERVICE STATION SAID THE BLAZER WAS NOT DRIVABLE AND VERY DANGEROUS. I HAVE HAD THE BLAZER REPAIRED AND FOR A SIMPLE CONNECTOR (BECAUSE OF WHERE THE CONNECTION IS) IS WAS $237.00 TO REPAIR.*AK
