SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SUSPENSION
Chevy Blazer has low milage. However, it still has several electrical issues radio at engine start goes to loudest point and car seats move backwards at awkward times which can cause an accident. Suspension very off guard, truck drifts to the sides while driving and makes an awkward sound when turning steering wheel. The complete break / steering system is off and may cause an accident if not properly take care right away. I have no money to do this big job. Please remediate.

POWER TRAIN
TRANSMISSION COOLER LINES BETWEEN THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION ARE CORRODED AND PITTED. THE LINES ARE INSTALLED OVER THE EXHAUST CATALYTIC CONVERTER. THERE IS TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKING FROM THE LINES, WHICH IS DRIPPING ONTO HOT EXHAUST COMPONENTS AND BURNING, CREATING A FIRE HAZARD. THESE LINES APPEAR TO BE STAINLESS STEEL, WHICH SHOULDN'T BE CORRODING. THE LINES SHOULD NOT BE IN SUCH CLOSE PROXIMITY TO EXHAUST COMPONENTS. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS NOT RUNNING/IN MOTION, TRANSMISSION FLUID POOLS ON THE GROUND UNDER THE VEHICLE. IN MOTION, THE FLUID IS BEING BLOWN REARWARD, COATING THE UNDERCARRIAGE AND EXHAUST.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
MY 2001 BLAZER'S BRAKE LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING DURING A RECENT DRIVE, AND ANOTHER DRIVER WAS KIND ENOUGH TO POINT THIS OUT AT A STOPLIGHT. THE NEXT DAY THE BRAKE LIGHTS WORKED AGAIN, BUT REMAINED ON AFTER I SHUT OFF THE ENGINE. MY MECHANIC WAS ABLE TO DETERMINE THE PROBLEM WAS THE MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH ON THE STEERING COLUMN. THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE (GM RECALL NUMBER 01073) AND GM RECALLED A NUMBER OF THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL OF VEHICLES, BUT MY BLAZER'S VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE OFFICIAL RECALL.

SERVICE BRAKES, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
ANY TIME I AM DRIVING MY FUEL GAUGE GOES CRAZY. I NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH FUEL I ACTUALLY HAVE BECAUSE IT CONSTANTLY GOES UP AND DOWN. I'VE RAN OUT OF GAS A FEW TIMES BECAUSE IT SHOWS I HAVE 1/4 TANK OR MORE AND THEN IT'LL JUST GO DOWN ALL THE WAY, THEN SHOOT UP 3/4 TANK AND SO ON. WHEN I'M COMING TO A STOP, ESPECIALLY IN SMALL DOWNHILLS, MY BRAKE PEDAL STARTS VIBRATING AND BARELY SLOWS DOWN. I GET NERVOUS ALL THE TIME BECAUSE I'M AFRAID MY CAR WILL NOT STOP. IT ALSO DOES THIS IF I'M STARTING TO BRAKE, AND ONE OF THE WHEELS HITS A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD, THEN IT'S ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO BRAKE NORMALLY BECAUSE THE BRAKE PEDAL STARTS VIBRATING, THE ABS BRAKES LIGHT COMES ON, AND MY CAR WILL NOT SLOW DOWN WHICH IS VERY SCARY ESPECIALLY IF I HAVE MY 3 YEAR OLD IN THE CAR. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
ABOUT ONCE A FEW WEEKS, MY ABS WILL ACTIVATE WHEN IT IS NOT SUPPOSED TO. I WILL BE TRYING TO MAKE A NORMAL STOP, SOMETIMES AN ABNORMALLY SLOW STOP AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WILL VIBRATE AND DEPRESS BUT THE VEHICLE WON'T STOP THE WAY IT'S SUPPOSED TO. AT THAT POINT, I USUALLY JAM THE BRAKES DOWN AND PRAY. SOMETIMES WHEN I HAVE ENOUGH STOPPING DISTANCE, I WILL PUMP THE BRAKES AND IT GOES BACK TO NORMAL. WHEN ARE YOU FORCE GM TO DO A RECALL? I READ THE BLOGS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM TODAY, AND THIS A FREQUENT PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FUEL GAUGE FLUCTUATES BETWEEN EMPTY AND 1/3 FULL WITHOUT WARNING. THIS HAPPENS IN PARK AND WHEN DRIVING. YOU NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH GAS YOU HAVE. I HAVE SEEN IT DROP FORM 1/4 FULL TO COMPLETELY EMPTY IN SECONDS. I HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS ON WAY TO WORK WHEN GAS GAUGE SAID 1/4 FULL WHEN I STARTED OFF TO WORK, ONLY A COUPLE OF MILES AWAY. I HAVE TOLD LOCAL CHEVY DEALER ( H & H ) ABOUT PROBLEM WHEN HAVING SERVICE BUT THEY SAID THAT WAS NOT A PROBLEM, WAS PROBABLY BECAUSE YOU WERE ON A SLOPE. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM SINCE I ORIGINALLY PURCHASED SUV NEW. *TR
