SEATS
SEAT RECLINE LEVERS SNAPPED OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THESE UNITS ARE MADE FROM ZINC DIE CASTING AND SHOULD HAVE NOT BEEN USED. GM WILL DO NOTHING TO REPAIR, THE REPAIRS ARE OVER THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS TO REPLACE WITH SIMILAR ZINC RODS. THE LOCAL DEALER SAID THEY SEE THIS ALL OF THE TIME. I KNOW OF 5 PEOPLE WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS. CONSUMER SERVICE WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT, NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR!.*JB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
AFTER NOTICING THAT I WAS LOOSING ANIFREEZE IN MY VEHICLE, I RECENTLY HAD TO REPLACE THE INTAKE GASKETS IN MY 1999 CHEVY BLAZER. IT HAS JUST OVER 40,000 MILES. AFTER DOING RESEARCH, I'VE FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS A COMMOM PROBLEM W/ THE GM VEHICLES AND THAT THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD TO SPEND HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS IN REPAIRS TO HAVE THIS FIXED. IT CONVENIENTLY HAPPENS JUST AFTER THE WARRENTY PERIOD HAS EXPIRED. THIS IS CLEARLY UNFAIR TO THE CONSUMER AND I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY GM HAS NOT BEEN FORCED TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 49,026 MILES. WHILE DRIVING AND APPLYING PRESSURE TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THERE IS AN AUDIBLE SOUND OF A GEAR "FREE WHEELING". THE TRANSMISSION HESITATES TO SHIFT GEARS WHEN TRAVELING FORWARD. ALTHOUGH THE GEAR SHIFT LEVEL CAN BE PLACED INTO REVERSE, THE VEHICLE WILL NOT MOVE IN REVERSE. LINDSAY CHEVROLET (DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE 3 YEARS, 2-1/2 MONTHS AGO) CONDUCTED A PRELIMINARY DIAGNOSIS THAT INVOLVED NO COMPUTER CHECK, BUT BASED ON THE EVIDENT NOISE AND PERFORMANCE OF THE TRANSMISSION RECOMMENDED REPLACEMENT OF THE TRANSMISSION. BEGINNING AT 28,805 MILES, THIS VEHICLE ALSO EXPERIENCED A RECURRING OIL LEAK FROM THE LOWER OIL LINE/OIL LINE ADAPTER THAT TOOK THE DEALER FOUR ATTEMPTS OVER FOUR MONTHS TO IDENTIFY AND REPAIR. THE RIGHT HUB ASSEMBLY ALSO BURNED OUT AT 38,190 MILES. TS
