  STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST:HOSE, PIPING, AND CONNECTIONS

  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?

  STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR

  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
