EXTERIOR LIGHTING
MY BLINKERS STARTED BLINKING REAL FAST AND I COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHY. I ASKED MY BROTHER AND HE TOLD ME I HAD A LIGHT OUT SOMEWHERE, SO HE HELPED ME LOCATE IT. IT WAS MY BLINKER ON THE DRIVER SIDE BACK. I REPLACED IT AND A FEW MONTHS LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I REPLACED IT AGAIN. ALL THIS HAPPENED IN 2013. IN THE SUMMER OF 2014 IT HAPPENED AGAIN WITH THE SAME LIGHT. I REPLACED IT AGAIN. I WAS WATCHING GOOD MORNING AMERICA THIS MORNING AND SEEN WHERE THEY WERE INVESTIGATING SAFE CARS AT USED CAR DEALERS. IT GAVE A WEB SITE TO LOOK AND SEE IF YOUR VEHICLE HAS ANY RECALLS. I LOOKED AND IT SHOWED MINE HAD 4. I CALLED THE NUMBER IT GAVE AND THE LADY TOLD ME MINE HAD NONE WITH THE VIN # I GAVE HER. WHY THEN AM I HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THIS ONE LIGHT? *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
EVER SINCE I OWN THIS VEHICLE, THE IGNITION SWITCH DOES NOT LOCK. THEREFORE IT IS POSSIBLE TO LEAVE THE TRUCK AND NOT KNOW THE IGNITION SWITCH IS STILL IN THE ON POSITION. ALSO, THE GAS GAUGE BOUNCES ALL OVER THE PLACE AND I HAVE TO USE THE TRIP TO KNOW WHEN I NEED GAS. THIS HAS ALSO BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE I OWN THE TRUCK. OCCASIONALLY, THE LOW FUEL LIGHT COMES ON (I KNOW I HAVE FUEL) AND THE TRUCK STARTS ACTING LIKE IT'S LOW ON GAS. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
GAS GAGE BOUNCES AROUND AND FUEL LIGHT COMES ON EVEN WHEN I KNOW THE CAR HAS A FULL TANK. I HAVE TO TRACK MILEAGE EVERY TIME I PUT GAS IN THE CAR. I ALSO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH FUEL PUMP NOT GETTING POWER AND R I HAVE REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP 3 TIMES AND IT WILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM DAYS TO WKS AFTER REPLACING THE FUEL PUMP. I HAVE SEARCHED ON GOOGLE AND THEIR ARE MANY PEOPLE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO 3 DIFFERENT SHOPS AND NO ONE CAN FIGURE IT OUT I AM VERY FRUSTRATED. THEIR IS CODE THAT SHOWS UP WHEN TESTED. THE CAR HAS BROKE DOWN MANY TIMES WITH MY DAUGHTER IN IT. I NEVER KNOW IF I TURN THE CAR OFF IF IT WILL START BACK UP. AT TIMES IN THE MORNING IT WONT START AT ALL AND MY DAUGHTER IS LATE TO SCHOOL DUE TO THE CAR NOT STARTING AND HAVING TO FIND HER A RIDE. FOR THE PAST 4 DAYS THE CAR WILL NOT START AT ALL. THEIR IS NO POWER GETTING TO THE FUEL PUMP. I AM SO FRUSTRATED!! *JS

CHILD SEAT, CHILD SEAT:HARNESS:STRAP/WEBBING
EVENFLO EXPRESS VISION/ CHASE TRADITIONS FORWARD FACING BOOSTER WITH 5-PT HARNESS. THE PROBLEM OCCURS EVERY TIME MY CHILD HAS BEEN STRAPPED INTO THE SEAT,. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE RIGHT SHOULDER STRAP IS OVERLAPPED ON ITSELF TO SECURE IT AT A PERMANENT LENGTH (MAKING TWO STRAPS ON THE R SHOULDER) AND ALLOW FOR THE PLACEMENT OF THE HARNESS ADJUSTED., THE ONE STRAP THAT IS NOT SECURED BY THE CHEST CLIP EASILY SLIDES ON AND OFF OF THE CHILDREN'S SHOULDER.. I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING TO GET THIS TO WORK BUT WHEN SHE MOVES JUST A LITTLE BIT IT FALLS RIGHT OFF OF HER SHOULDER. I HAVE TIGHTENED IT AS TIGHT AS I CAN AND IT STILL SEEMS TO FALL RIGHT OFF. I HAVE ALSO HAD IT INSTALLED WHEN I BOUGHT IT AND THEY HAD A HARD TIME EVEN GETTING IT ON AND STAYING IN PLACE. THEY THOUGHT IT WAS WEIRD. I DO WORRY THIS IS NOT SAFE FOR ANYCHILD, PLEASE FIX THIS ISSUE WITH A NEW HARNESS PLEASE. TIGHTEN IT FROM THE FRONT BOTTOM WOULD BE SO MUCH EASIER. I I BOUGHT THIS BOOSTER CHILD RESTRAINT ON SEPTEMBER 14,2013 FROM AN AGENCY HERE IN KLAMATH FALLS OREGON.THANK YOU.... THE MODEL NUMBER OF MY SEAT IS 32921122 AND THE MANUFACTURE DATE IS 06/03/2011.

SUSPENSION, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, STEERING
FORTUNATELY, I HAD JUST GOTTEN OFF THE FREEWAY AND WAS LOOKING FOR AN ADDRESS AT A SLOW SPEED. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR LURCHED; I HAD NO STEERING; I LOST ALL ELECTRICAL CONTROL; THE CAR GROUND TO A HALT; SMOKE CAME OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I AND A FRIEND GOT OUT OF THE CAR. FORTUITOUSLY, FIRE TRUCKS APPEARED. IT TURNED OUT THEY WERE RETURNING FROM ANOTHER INCIDENT AS I COULD NOT BELIEVE THE IMMEDIACY OF THEIR RESPONSE. THEY TOOK OVER PREVENTING FURTHER AGGRAVATION OF THIS SITUATION. THE BATTERY WAS BOILING. ALL THE ELECTRICAL WIRE HARNESSES WERE MELTED. THE UPPER SUSPENSION CONTROL ARM WAS BROKEN. THE FIREMEN'S OBSERVATION WAS, IF I HAD BEEN GOING ANY FASTER, THE CAR COULD HAVE FLIPPED. AFTER BEING TOWED TO A NEARBY MECHANIC, I LEARNED THE UPPER CONTROL ARM HAD BROKEN. IT IMPAILED THE STARTER WHICH SHORTED. THAT MELTED THE WIRING HARNESSES TO AND FROM THE BATTERY, AS WELL AS BEING THE CAUSE OF THE BATTERY BOILING. THE KEY ISSUE IS THAT GENERAL MOTORS WOULD BUILD A VEHICLE WHERE THE UPPER CONTROL ARM IS SO FLIMSY IT WOULD BREAK. I HAVE READ OTHER INCIDENTS OF THE SAME THING WITH THE CHEVROLET BLAZER WHERE, FOR EXAMPLE, A PERSON WAS GOING 30MPH, THE CAR FLIPPED, AND THE PERSON WAS KNOCKED UNCONSCIOUS. A REPEATED CORPORATE FAILURE OF THIS NATURE SHOULD HAVE CONSEQUENCES. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
THE ABS GRADUALLY CAME ON. WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES, THE WHEELS LOCK UP AND THE BLAZER SKIDS ABOUT A FOOT. I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS NEAR ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THE ABS. I TOOK THE BLAZER INTO THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AND THEY RAN THE VIN. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR MY BLAZER. HOWEVER, ACCORDING TO THE NHTSA WEBSITE, THERE ARE TWO RECALLS (00V055000 & 99V220000). I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHETHER OR NOT THERE ARE ANY RECALLS. *TR

AIR BAGS
THE DRIVERSIDE AIR BAG WENT OFF WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN MY GARAGE. I STARTED THE VEHICLE AND LEFT THE DOOR OPEN, I THEN WENT TO TAKE THE GARBAGE OUT TO END OF MY DRIVEWAY. AS I WAS WALKING BACK TO MY GARAGE I HEARD A LOUD NOISE. I NOTICED THE AIR BAG HAD BEEN DEPLOYED WHEN I REACHED MY VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS STILL RUNNING AND I DIDN'T NOTICE ANYTHING ELSE WRONG. I DROVE THE VEHICLE TO WORK AND I ROLLED DOWN THE WINDOW TO AIR OUT THE VEHICLE. ABOUT 5 MINUTES LATER THE WINDOWS WOULDN'T WORK. I CHANGED THE FUSE BUT THAT DIDN'T SOLVE THE WINDOW PROBLEM. THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN BAD IF THE AIR BAG DEPLOYED WHEN I WAS DRIVING. *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT WORK. IT WILL GO TO FULL WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS FILLED BUT WHEN IT GETS TO APPROXIMATELY HALF EMPTY, IT FLUCTUATES AND THE GAUGE NEVER MOVES HALF. THIS HAS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO RUN OUT OF FUEL SEVERAL TIMES.
