2003 Chevrolet Blazer complaints

WHILE PULLING INSIDE OF THE GARAGE DRIVER APPLIED THE BRAKES AND PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. CONSUMER WAS NOT ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL THE VEHICLE.

I OPENED THE DRIVERS DOOR ON MY 2003 CHEVROLET BLAZER WITH ONLY 13,000 MILES AND THE DOOR DROPPED DOWN IN MY HANDS. THE PINS THAT HOLD THE DOOR HINGE HAD PARTLY LIFTED OUT. IT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN OUT OF THE QUESTION FOR THE PIN TO HAVE FALLEN OUT COMPLETLY IN WHICH CASE THE HINGE WOULD HAVE COME COMPLETELY APART AND THE DOOR WOULD HAVE FALLEN OFF THE VEHICLE. WHEN I CALLED THE CHEVY DEALER THEY WERE WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. APPARENTLY THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME WITH S10 PICKIUPS AND BLAZERS. ASIDE FROM THE FRUSTRATION OF SUCH A SHODDY DESIGN I AM AFRAID TO THINK OF THE EFFECT OF SUCH A FAILURE AT 65 MPH OR OF A DOOR COMING OFF IN AN ACCIDENT AS A RESULT OF FAULTY HINGES. *AK

THE WAS A SENSOR ON THE DASH WHICH CONTROLLED THE HEADLIGHTS. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER A TREE OR IN THE GARAGE, THE HEADLIGHTS WENT DIM. THE DEALER STATED THERE WAS A CODE TO OVER RIDE THE SYSTEM. THE DEALERS HAD NO ACCESS TO THE CODE. *JB THE SENSOR ON THE DASH TURNED DOWN THE DASH LIGHTS WHICH MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO READ THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. AT DUSK THE HIGH BEAMS CAME ON WITHOUT THE DRIVER'S KNOWLEDGE. THE CONSUMER IS LOOKING FOR THE CODE THAT WILL ALLOW THE LIGHT TO OPERATE MANUALLY. *NM

WHILE DRIVING 36 MPH GOING AROUND CURB, THE STEERING WHEEL FAILED TO RESPOND AND REMAINED IN THE SAME POSITION.

THE MANUFACTURER OF GMC SENT AN ENGINEER TO SEE THE VEHICLE AND DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE STEERING. GMC DENIED THE REPORT ISSUED BY THE TECHNICIAN ON THIS ACCIDENT. PLEASE PROVIDE DETAILS. *JB

I HAVE A 02 BLAZER AND I BELIEVE THE FUEL GAUGE IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. AFTER I HAVE GONE ONLY ABOUT 40 MILES ON A FULL TANK OF GAS THE GAUGE SHOWS ? FULL. CAN THAT BE CORRECT?

GENERAL MOTORS HAS BEEN PUTTING DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS ON MOST OF THEIR VEHICLES THAT ARE TOO BRIGHT. THESE LIGHTS ARE SO BRIGHT THAT ONE TENDS TO TURN ONE'S HEAD AWAY OR SHIELD THE EYES WHEN APPROACHED BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THESE LIGHTS CAN CAUSE DISTRACTION SERIOUS ENOUGH TO MAKE A PERSON IGNORE SITUATIONS THAT CAN BE DANGEROUS. THE EXTRA GLARE FROM THESE LIGHTS CAUSES EXTRA EFFORT TO BE PUT INTO THE DRIVING OF A VEHICLE.ALSO OF IMPORTANCE IS THE SUBJECT OF THE UNNECESSARY USE OF FOG LIGHTS. MOST OF THESE LIGHTS ARE SO BRIGHT THAT THEY CAUSE MOMENTARY BLINDNESS IF VIEWED DIRECTLY DURING NIGHTTIME DRIVING.*AK

PURCHASED NEW 2003 CHEVROLET BLAZER WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSION ON 08/08/2003. I DID NOT DRIVE THE CAR ON 08/09/2003, BUT DROVE IT AGAIN ON 08/10/2002. TWICE ON 08/08/2003, AND FOUR TIMES ON 08/10/2003, WHEN STARTING FROM A STOP, I EXPERIENCED A SIGNIFICANT FAILURE OF THE TRANSMISSION, WHICH SUBSTANTIALLY IMPAIRS THE USE AND SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE. IN FIRST GEAR, WITH NO WARNING, EITHER VISIBLE, AUDIBLE, OR TACTILE, THE TRANSMISSION VIOLENTLY THROWS THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER OUT OF FIRST GEAR, BRINGING THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY INTO NEUTRAL. I HAVE PUT ABOUT 100 MILES ON THE CAR IN TOTAL SINCE I PURCHASED IT, AND THIS HAS HAPPENED SIX TIMES. I HAVE BEEN LUCKY, I HAVE AVOIDED BEING STRUCK, BUT IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME. I WILL BE IN TOUCH WITH THE DEALERSHIP AS SOON AS IT IS OPEN TO SEEK WARRANTY REPAIRS. *NLM

AS THE OWNER OF A 2000 CHEVROLET BLAZER, COUP (VIN: [XXX]) I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO CONTINUE PURCHASING CHEVROLET VEHICLES IN THE FUTURE. HOWEVER, A RECENT EXPERIENCE HAS MADE ME HESITANT IN THIS REGARD. *AK WHEN I RECENTLY NOTICED THAT MY GAS GAUGE WAS GIVING QUESTIONABLE READINGS AND I HAD NO IDEA AS TO THE AMOUNT OF FUEL STILL REMAINING IN THE TANK I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE MECHANICS AT SELMAN CHEVROLET IN ORANGE. IT WAS, INDEED, DETERMINED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE SENSOR WAS NOT FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY, BUT MUCH TO MY CHAGRIN I LEARNED THAT IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THIS INCLUDES THE EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT I PURCHASED FROM GLENDALE NISSAN (MEMBER # [XXX]) OBVIOUSLY I WAS SURPRISED THAT AN ITEM SO VITAL TO SAFETY IS NOT COVERED. I CAN UNDERSTAND IF IT WERE AN ITEM REQUIRING REPLACEMENT AFTER SO MANY MILES, BUT THAT IS OBVIOUSLY NOT THE CASE. I DRIVE IN HEAVY FREEWAY TRAFFIC EVERY DAY, MANY TIMES WITH MY 4 YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER, AND SHOULD I RUN OUT OF GAS THE RESULTS WOULD BE DISASTROUS IF NOT DEADLY. IN SUCH A CASE WHO WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE IF THE VEHICLE RAN OUT OF GAS DUE TO A FAULTY READING OF THE GAUGE? ARE YOU AWARE THAT THIS ITEM MALFUNCTIONS AND IF SO SHOULD IT NOT BE CONSIDERED AS A CAUSE FOR RECALL OR AT THE VERY LEAST REPLACED AT NO COST TO THE CUSTOMER? I HAVE A NUMBER OF CONCERNS, ONE OF WHICH IS WHETHER OR NOT YOU AUTHORIZE THE SALE OF A WARRANTY (I PURCHASED THIS AS A PRE-OWNED VEHICLE WITH APPROXIMATELY 25,000 MILES ON IT FROM A REPUTABLE DEALER) ON YOUR VEHICL
