POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION, FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM, VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER
VEHICLE HAS 92K MILES, BUT ITS 99% HIGHWAY MILES. THE TRANISSION FAILED AS WELL AS THE SENSOR MODULE, GAS GAUGE FAILED, WATER PUMP FAILED, CRACKS IN THE EXHAUST SYSTEM, WINDSHIELD FLUID LEAKED INTO THE VEHICLE WHEN REAR WASHER WAS ACTIVATED, BAD BATTERY WHICH WAS NEVER REPLACED (TRYING TO SELL ME A NEW ONE ALL THE TIME), CONSTANT RESURFACING OF FRONT ROTORS DUE TO UNEVEAN WEAR AND A DEFECTIVE GAS GASKET TO THE EVAPORATIVE SYSTEM. I CAN SUPPLY EXACT MILEAGE AND DATES OF REPAIR. IF I DIDN'T HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, I WOULD HAVE TAKEN CHEVROLET TO COURT BY NOW FOR A NEW VEHICLE. I DON'T THINK MY NEXT VEHICLE WILL BE A GM.

STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
THE DRIVER'S DOOR OF MY BLAZER STARTING SMOKING WHILE IT WAS IN PARK - WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING. I QUICKLY SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND POPPED THE HOOD. NO SMOKE IN THE ENGINE-BUT THE DOOR WAS STILL SMOKING. I POPPED OFF THE CONTROL PANEL FOR THE ELECTRIC WINDOWS, ETC. THE CONTROLLER FOR THE MIRRORS WAS SMOLDERING. THEN IT BURST INTO FLAMES. FORTUNATELY, THE HOUSE I WAS AT HAD A FIRE EXTINGUISHER. WE PUT OUT THE FLAMES, IT WAS STILL SMOLDERING, SO I PULLED THAT PART OFF FROM ALL OF THE WIRES. THE CAR STARTED AND I WAS ABLE TO GET HOME, WITHOUT ANYMORE SMOKE OR FLAMES. BUT NOW THE PARKING LIGHTS WON'T TURN OFF. WE HAD TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY.*AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
THIS HAS BEEN TAKEN INTO THE SAME DEALER SEVERAL TIMES FOR BRAKE PROBLEMS WITHOUT ANY SATIFACTORY ANSWERS. THE LAST TIME WAS ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO WHEN I FINALLY GAVE UP AND HAVE BEEN LOOKING AT TRADING IT OFF IN THE NEAR FUTURE WHEN I CAN AFFORD TO. AT THE LAST EFFORT TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM WITH THE SERVICE MGR, HE TOLD ME THAT THE CARACTERISTICS OF THE BRAKE PEDAL SLOWLY GO TO THE FLOOR AT A STOP SIGN OR LITE IS NORMAL. HE SAID" THIS IS CAUSED BY THE BRAKE LINES EXPANDING" AND IS NORMAL WITH THE 97 BLAZERS. BRAKING PROBLEM STILL EXISTS TODAY.*AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TRANSMISSION STARTED TO JERK WHEN GOING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR. TRIED TO CHECK THE TRANSMISISON FLUID BUT THE DIP STICK COULD NOT BE TAKEN OUT BECAUSE IT WAS ENTIRLEY RUSTED. THE WHOLE DIP STICK AND HOLDER IS RUSTED. THERE WAS A TSB PUT OUT BY GM BUT THEY WILL NOT PAY TO HAVE THIS FIXED. THEY STATED THEY FOUND SOMETHING ELSE WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION THAT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WILL HAVE TO COVER. MY SUSPISIONS ARE THAT THE RUST CAUSED THE PROBLEMS. DEALER STATED THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE DIP STICK AD DIP STICK HOLDER. STILL WAITING ON THE EXTENDED WARRANTY PEOPLE TO SEE IF THEY WILL COVER FIXING THE TRANSMISSION. SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING DUE TO A FAULTY TRANSMISSION DIP STICK HOLDER THAT RUSTS! *AK
