ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:FUSES AND CIRCUIT BREAKERS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM, VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER:MOTOR
WE HAVE HAD REPEATED PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE FROM APPROXIMATELY 4000 AND GOING FORWARD. THE FIRST INDICATION OF PROBLEMS WITH ELECTRICAL WAS WHEN THE EMERGENCY FLASHERS WERE USED THE FIRST TIME AND IT BLEW THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AT APPROXIMATELY 4000 MILES WE HAD OWNED THE BLAZER LESS THAN 6 MONTHS AT THIS TIME. WE HAVE HAD SERVICE ENGINE CHECK LIGHT INDICATOR PROBLEMS REPEATEDLY AND WAS TOLD EVERY TIME BUT 1 THAT IT WAS "NOTHING" AND LATER WE HAVE PROBLEMS THAT ARE CONVENIENTLY NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY ANY MORE. THE SOFT PLUGS BLEW IN THE ENGINE IN 9-1999 AND WE WERE TOLD BY THE GARAGE THAT REPAIRED THIS THAT HE HAD SEEN THIS BEFORE ... THE ANTIFREEZE USED DETERIORATES THE PLUGS AND THEY EVENTUALLY LEAK AND THE ENGINE OVERHEATS. THE GM DEALER THAT WE TOOK THE BLAZER TO ON THIS OCCASIONS FOR A SECOND OPINION 11-2000 --THIS DEALER HAD ANOTHER 1995 BLAZER IN THE SHOP AT THE SAME TIME WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. I THOUGHT THIS WAS ODD FOR A TOWN OF 25,000 PEOPLE AND OF COURSE THE 800 LINE TO GM CUSTOMER SERVICES ADVISED ME THAT IT WAN'T ANYTHING THAT COULD BE COVERED. WE ALSO HAD THE LEATHER SEAT REPLACED ON DRIVER SIDE 2 TIMES BUT CONTINUE TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH LEATHER SPLITTING AND OF COURSE THIS IS NOT COVERED.. ALL WE ARE ABLE TO GET FROM GM IS THE ANSWER "NO" WHENEVER WE FEEL THAT SOMETHING SHOULD BE COVERED... WE HAVE PUT OVER 2000 .00 IN REPAIRS IN THE ENGINE AND WIPERS AND FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM IN THE PAST FROM 9-1999 THRU 11 28 2000.... AND THE PROBLEMS CONTINUES.. THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIFHT COMES ON AND THE AIR BAG LIGHT GOES OFF AND ON AND STAY S ON FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME... AND OF COURSE WHEN I CALLED LAST WEEK ON THE AIR BAG... LITE IT WAS. *AK

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER:MOTOR
WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE WORKING INTERMITTENTLY AND THEN FINALLY STOPPED WORKING ALL TOGETHER. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO HAVE IT CHECKED AND THEY TRIED TO FIX IT WITH A PART AND THAT DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY THEN INPUT MY INFORMATION INTO ALLDATA AND SAW A RECALL FOR MOST 1995 BLAZERS FOR THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR. UNFORTUNATELY CHEVROLET IS SAYING THAT IT DOES NOT INCLUDE MY VIN #. THEY SAY THIS PARTICULAR RECALL STARTS WITH 103 AND MINE IS 102. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THIS INFORMATION UPDATED TO INCLUDE MY VEHICLE. I AM GETTING MY CAR FIXED BUT WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A REIMBURSEMENT HAPPEN AT SOME POINT.*AK
