VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM:HEATER CORE, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM:RADIATOR ASSEMBLY
AFTER RECENTLY BUYING THIS VEHICLE WE NOTICED THE AIR COMING FROM THE VENTS WAS NOT EXACTLY WARM. TOOK IT TO BE REPAIRED AND WAS TOLD IT WAS PROBABLY A THERMOSTAT PROBLEM SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS SO "NEW".

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
CONTAMINATED COOLANT FOUR TIMES IN LAST TWO YEARS, BELIEVE THAT COMBINATION OF BAD PRODUCT AND LOCATION OF RADIATOR LINES CAUSES THIS VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIRS. SEEM TO BE LIMITED TO 1996-1997 BLAZERS, JIMMYS, SONOMAS, S10S ETC. IT IS A JOKE ABOUT THEIR 100,000 MILE COOLANT, SHOULD BE A CLASS ACTION SUIT BECAUSE THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF OWNERS WITH THIS PROBLEM.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:INTERIOR/UNDER DASH
I WANTED TO REPORT THIS DEFECT ON MY 1996 BLAZER BECAUSE IT IS THE EXACT SAME DEFECT I HAVE JUST REPORTED ON MY 2001 BLAZER. WHAT ARE THE ODDS THIS ONLY HAPPENED TO ME ON MY VEHICLES FIVE YEARS APART? THIS ELECTRICAL WIRING DEFECT COULD CAUSE A VEHICLE TO CATCH FIRE ANONG OTHER THINGS. I HAVE HAD THE REPAIR COMPLETED ON MY 1996 BLAZER BUT IT APPEARS PARTS ARE NOT READILY AVAILABLE TO REPAIR MY 2001 BLAZER. I WOULD GUESS SEVERAL 1000 OTHER BLAZERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP GET THIS DEFECT A RECALL SO POTENTIAL ACCIDENTS CAN BE AVOIDED. *AK
