1999 Chevrolet Blazer complaints

FUEL INJECTORS FOULED AND VEHICLE WOULD NOT RUN. ONE INJECTOR WAS REPLACED, OTHERS WERE CLEANED. DEALER STATED IT WAS BAD FUEL AND TO USE ONLY MOBIL GAS, CHEVRON WAS NO GOOD. CHEVRON WAS CONTACTED AND THEY SAID IT WAS A KNOWN DEFECT IN THE INJECTION SYSTEM. CHEVROLET WAS CONTACTED AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NO PROBLEM. FUEL MILEAGE STARTED GOING DOWN AFTER REPAIRS. CAR WAS AGAIN TOWED AT 8,900 MILES, DEALER STATED THAT IT WAS OUT OF FUEL, WHICH WOULD MEAN THE CAR IS NOW ONLY GETTING 10-MILES PER GALLON. DEALER STATED THAT THIS WAS OKAY AND THE COMPUTER WOULD TELL THEM IF ANYTHING WAS WRONG. NO SOLUTION OFFERED, NO TEST OTHER THAN CHECKING THE COMPUTER FOR CODES WAS PERFORMED. THIS DEALER STATED TO ONLY RUN SHELL GAS, ALL OTHERS PRESENT A PROBLEM. AGAIN, CHEVRON STATES THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE INJECTORS. THE EPA ALLOWS A CAR TO GET THIS KIND OF MILEAGE WITHOUT REPORTING IT TO THE PUBLIC?

2 INCIDENTS: I WAS TRYING TO TURN INTO A PARKING SPACE AND THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP SO I COULDN'T TURN IN. LESS THAN A WEEK LATER, A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME STOPPED QUICKLY. I HAD ABOUT 25-30 FEET OF ROOM IN FRONT OF ME TO STOP AND THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK. I ENDED UP IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE I COULDN'T STOP.

VERY DANGEROUS, VEHICLE QUITS WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING.

THE AIR CONDITIONING COMPRESSOR WAS REPLACED BY THE DEALER ON FRIDAY JUNE 25. AFTER THE REPAIR THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN APPROXIMATELY 20 MILES THAT DAY. ON THE FOLLOWING DAY THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN AN ADDITIONAL 25 MILES AND RETURNED HOME. AFTER LEAVING THE VEHICLE PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY, I WAS SUMMONED FROM MY HOME BY A NEIGHBOR WHO REPORTED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS ON FIRE. WE EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND HAD THE DEALER REMOVE THE VEHICLE FOR REPAIR. THE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT THE FIRE WAS NOT CAUSED BY THEIR REPAIR.

A PERSISTANT CLUNKING NOISE HAS DEVELOPED IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT SUSPENSION AND IS EVIDENT WHEN TURNING IN BOTH DIRECTIONS AND WHEN DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS.

MY BLAZER HAS STALLED REPEATEDLY DURING THE SIX MONTHS I HAVE OWNED IT. THERE APPEAR TO BE NO COMMONALITIES BETWEEN THE INCIDENTS. SOMETIMES IT'S IN AN INTERSECTION. AT OTHER TIMES I'M DRIVING. AT OTHER TIMES I AM SITTING IN PARK. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD, AND MY DEALERSHIP HAS STILL NOT ISOLATED THE PROBLEM, ALTHOUGH IT HAS ALREADY BEEN IN AT LEAST FOUR TIMES FOR THIS. THEY DID REPLACE A FUEL PUMP THE LAST TIME, BUT THAT APPARENTLY WASN'T THE PROBLEM.

WHEN DRIVING AT ANY SPEED VEHICLE STALLS/CUTS OFF WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. *AK

I HAVE AN ISSUE WITH MY NEW BLAZER, IN THAT THE OWNER'S MANUAL SAYS THAT YOU CANNOT PLACE A CHILD SAFETY SEAT IN THE CENTER BACK POSITION. HAD I KNOWN, I WOULD'VE NEVER BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE TRIED TO FIND OUT WHAT THE ISSUE IS AND HAVE RECEIVED NUMEROUS DIFFERENT ANSWERS FROM CHEVY'S CUSTOMER SERVICE, THE MOST OBNOXIOUS BEING THAT THE CENTER SEAT BELT ISN'T THAT STRONG SO THEY DON'T WANT KIDS TO USE IT. ADULTS CAN USE IT THOUGH BECAUSE THEY CAN BRACE THEMSELVES IF IT BREAKS. I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHY I CAN'T KEEP THE CHILD SEAT IN THE CENTER, WHY CHEVY WOULD PRODUCE A CAR THAT DOESN'T ALLOW A CHILD SAFETY SEAT TO GO IN THE SAFEST POSITION, AND WHO I CAN REPORT THEIR HORRENDOUS CUSTOMER SERVICE FOLKS TO. WOULD APPRECIATE A RESPONSE. THANKS. *AK
