THE THEFT-DETERRENT ALARM GOES OFF FOR NO REASON WHEN PARKED AND LOCKED UP. THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE MOVES ERATICALLY, DOME LIGHTS AND FLOOR LIGHTS COME ON BY THEMSELF AND SOMETIME STAY ON FOR A LONG TIME AND SOMETIME CONSISTANTLY FLASH OFF AND ON, RADIO SHUTS OFF WHEN TURN ENGINE OFF(NOT SUPPOSE TO), AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON FOR A FEW DAYS THEN JUST WENT OFF. THE DEALER REPLACED THE BCM #9385236 BUT VEHICLE IS STILL NOT FIXED AFTER SEVERAL VISITS BACK TO DEALER.

BRAKE AND HAZARD LIGHTS WOULD INTERMITTENTLY FAIL TO OPERATE. VEHICLE BEEN INTO DEALER SHOP ON TWO OCCASIONS, AND PROBLEM STILL REOCCURRING. FEEL FREE TO PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION ON THIS MATTER.*AK

I WAS DRIVING ON A ROAD WHEN SOMEONE PULLED UP NEXT TO ME AND TOLD ME I DIDN'T HAVE BRAKE LIGHTS. ONLY THE SMALL TOP CENTER BRAKE LIGHT WAS WORKING. I WAS LUCKY THAT A STRANGER TOLD ME, I WOULD NEVER HAVE KNOWN THAT THEY WERE NOT FUNCTIONING. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS A SILENT RECALL. THEY HAD 3 OTHER VEHICLES IN THAT DAY WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM BECAUSE IF SOMEONE ISN'T PAYING COMPLETE ATTENTION THEY WILL NOT NOTICE THAT A BLAZER HAS STOPPED UNTIL IT IS TOO LATE. I FEEL THAT THERE SHOULD BE A PUBLIC RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. IT WAS A SIMPLE FIX (IT ONLY TOOK PART OF ONE DAY). ALL THEY HAD TO DO WAS PUT IN A NEW TURN SIGNAL LEVER. I THINK THAT ANY PROBLEM LIKE THIS SHOULD ALWAYS BE A PUBLIC RECALL, IT IS NOT FAIR THAT THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALERSHIP KNOWS ABOUT A PROBLEM AND DOES NOT TELL THE CONSUMER. I GUESS THEY WOULD HAVE TOLD ME HAD I GOTTEN INTO AN ACCIDENT. BUT THEN IT MAY HAVE BEEN TOO LATE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. JANET L. WERNER. *AK

VEHICLE "SWAYS' WHEN DRIVING OVER 40 MPH... STEERING FEELS LOOSE. DEALER SAYS IT IS TYPICAL OF THE VEHICLE... CHEVROLET DENIES THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM AND WILL NOT COOPERATE WILL US. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE VEHICLE AND CHEVROLET WILL NOT LET ME OUT OF MY LEASE, SO I AM STUCK WITH IT.*AK

WHENEVER FOOT WAS REMOVED FROM ACCELERATOR PEDAL VEHICLE FAILED TO SLOW DOWN WITHOUT DEPRESSING ON BRAKES. VEHICLE HAD MANUAL 4WD. SOMETIMES WOULD INCREASE DUE TO GRAVITY.

ON MAY 12,2001 WHILE DRIVING WESTBOUND ON I-290, A CAR IN THE LEFT LANE CUT ME OFF. I SWERVED MY SUV TO THE RIGHT TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT, AND THE TRUCK LOST CONTROL, TIP OVER ON THE DRIVER SIDE AND STARTED TO ROLLOVER. THE CAR STOPPED ON ITS TOP(ROOF). I HAD TAKEN THE CAR INTO THE DEALER SHIP ON 4/5/01 TO REPAIR THE STABILIZER LINKS/BUSHING, AND ON 4/10/01 THE REAR SPRINGS HAD TO BE RESEATED. I ONLY HAD THIS TRUCK FOR 2.5 MONTHS.*AK

I PURCHACED THIS VEHICLE DECEMBER 04, 2000 AND WAS CONFIDENT THAT I WAS BUYING A SAFE VEHICLE WITH A GOOD HISTORY.2 MONTHS AND LESS THAN 3800 MILES INTO SERVICE THE POWER STEERING FAILED. AFTER BEING TOWED TO A LOCAL CHEVY DEALER I WAS TOLD THE HOSE JUST FELL OFF. THEY SAID IT WAS REPAIRED AND I WAS ON MY WAY. LESS THAN 10 MILES DOWN THE ROAD IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THE SHAFT SNAPPED AND THE POWER STEERING PUMP WAS REPLACED. MY CONCERN IS THAT WHAT IF I HAD BEEN DRIVING AT A HIGHER SPEED OR IN AN OFF-ROAD ENVIRONMENT? ALSO, THE REPAIR MAN SAID HE HAS SEEN THIS HAPPEN TO THREE OTHER BLAZERS. PERHAPS THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AS A DESIGN FLAW?

WITHIN 3 DAYS OF PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE I REALIZED THAT THERE WAS NO INDICATION THAT MY DOORS WERE LEFT AJAR. THERE IS A WARNING THAT THE REAR GATE IS AJAR BUT NOT THE DOORS. I HAVE HAD MANY CARS IN MY LIFETIME AND THIS IS THE FIRST THAT I DIDN'T HAVE THIS SAFETY FEATURE. I GUESS I ASSUMED IT WAS STANDARD -- I AM SHOCKED THAT IT IS NOT....I FEEL VERY UNSAFE WITH MY 8 YEAR OLD CHILDREN IN THE CAR. I OFTEN HAVE TO GET OUT AND VERIFY THAT THE DOORS ARE CLOSED.*AK

A PROBLEM WITH SLAMMING TIRE CATCH FOR OUTSIDE REAR SPARE TIRE TO PROPERLY BE SECURED. THIS PROBLEM WILL CAUSE METAL TO WEAKEN AND LOOSEN WITHIN TIME. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO PROVIDE ANY FURTHER DETAILS ON THIS MATTER. *AK
