SUSPENSION:FRONT, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:TORQUE CONVERTER
UPON APPROACHING THE DRIVEWAY VEHICLE SUDDENLY MADE A NOISE. STEERING WHEEL FELT FUNNY. ALSO, FRONT LEFT TIRE TURNED IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION THAT VEHICLE WAS GOING. WHEN THIS OCCURRED VEHICLE SKIDDED. CONSUMER DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP. THIS OCCURRED BECAUSE THE LEFT FRONT LOWER BALL JOINT CAME APART, AND THE FRONT RIGHT BALL JOINTS WERE STARTING TO SHOW SIGNS OF THE SAME FAILURE. THE ENTIRE FRONT SUSPENSION ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. ALSO, AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SLIPPED WHEN SHIFTING FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR. MEANWHILE, WHILE DRIVING IN OVER DRIVE MODE, THE OVER DRIVE DISENGAGED AND VEHICLE SPEED WAS REDUCED FROM A RAPID PACE TO A VERY LOW SPEED. THIS FAILURE ALMOST RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT. DEALERSHIP DETERMINED THIS WAS CAUSED BY A FAILURE IN THE TORQUE CONVERTER SOLENOID.*AK

TIRES:TREAD/BELT, TIRES
OUR TIRES, UNIROYAL NAIL GARD TIGER PAW P235/70R15, WERE VERY NEW, THEY HAD EXCELLENT TREAD LEFT. I NOTICED A "WOBBLE" DEVELOPING AND W/IN A FEW DAYS THE TIRE EXPLODED. THE BACK LEFT TIRE TREAD SEPERATED. OUR FUEL LINE WAS TORN OUT, THE INNER WALL OF OUR WHEEL WELL WAS BROKEN UP AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. WE WERE W/OUT OUR VEHICLE FOR ALMOST 2 MONTHS. THE REPAIR SHOP INFORMED US THAT OUR TIRES HAD BEEN DISCONTINUED SO WE RECEIVED A DIFFERNT TYPE OF UNIROYAL TIRE. IT HAS BEEN 2 MONTHS SINCE THE CAR WAS RETURNED TO US. I HAVE NOTICED THE "WOBBLE" AGAIN. WE ARE GETTING NEW TIRES TOMORROW. OUR COMPLAINTS TO UNIROYAL WERE IGNORED. THEY GAVE NO REASON FOR THE DISCONTINUATION OF THE TIRES. I WONDER WHY IT IS OK TO LET PEOPLE CONTINUE DRIVING AROUND ON TIRES THAT COULD KILL THEM? WHY DOESN'T THIS GOVERNMENT WEBSITE DO ANYTHING ABOUT ALL THESE COMPLAINTS? MAYBE WHEN SOMEONE DIES THEY WILL. WON'T THAT BE A NICE LAW SUIT? *AK

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM:INJECTORS
FUEL INJECTORS ON CHEVROLET BLAZERS ~ ORIGINAL PROBLEM WAS THE MODULATOR WHICH I HAD REPLACED THEN 6 FUEL INJECTOR HAD TO BE REPLACED. I WAS TOLD BY NUMEROUS DEALERSHIPS THAT THE INJECTORS ARE FAULTY BUT TO DATE NO "RECALL". ANY ASSISTANCE YOU CAN PROVIDE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.*AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:COOLING UNIT AND LINES
OIL COOLER LINES WERE RUBBING ON WIRING HARNESS IN LEFT FRONT WHEEL WELL. THE RUBBING CAUSED A HOLE IN THE OIL LINES RESULTING IN LOSS OF OIL PRESSURE AND OIL. AFTER GETTING THIS FIXED I WAS TOLD THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL. AFTER INSPECTING THE REPAIRS I NOTICED A NEW ASSEMBLY SEPERATING THE LINES WHICH WILL CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I AM EXTREMLEY DISSATISFIED THAT I HAD TO COVER THE REPAIRS, I PERSONALLY FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY DEFECT. IF IT WOULD HAVE BLOWN OUT AT HIGHWAY SPEED IT WOULD HAVE COVERED THE DRIVER SIDE TIRES WITH OIL AND MAKE THE VEHICLE UNCONTOLLABLE. *AK

SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:RECLINER
I HAD THE FRONT RECLINER FIXED AND AT A LATER DATE HAD THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT RECLINER FIXED. NOW 22 MONTHS LATER THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT RECLINER IS BROKEN AGAIN. I AM NOT ROUGH WITH MY SEATS AND I THINK THAT THIS IS REDICULOUS THAT THESE KEEP BREAKING. THE COST TO GET THESE FIXED IS AROUND 140.00 EACH. I DON'T THINK THAT I WILL EVER BUY ANOTHER CHEVY PRODUCT AGAIN. I DON'T BELEIVE THAT THIS SHOULD BE SOMETHING THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO FIX EVERY 2 YEARS.*AK
