ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM:RADIATOR ASSEMBLY, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:CARBURETOR SYSTEM
IN JAN 99, THERMOSTAT APPEARED TO FAIL AND WHEN I OPENED THE RADIATOR CAP, NOTICED WHAT LOOKED LIKE MUD/GRIT IN CAP. TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE CHEVROLET DEALER, THEY SAID THEY DID NOT KNOW WHAT IT WAS. ENDED UP REPLACING INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET, PULLING AND REPAIRING/CLEANING RADIATOR AND REPLACING THERMOSTAT. IN JULY 2002, TRUCK OVERHEATED AGAIN. TOOK IT TO FIRESTONE WHERE THEY RECOMMENDED $1200 IN REPAIRS TO FLUSH OUT "COAGULATED" COOLANT (DEXCOOL). ENDED UP REPLACING RADIATOR, RADIATOR CAP, AND THERMOSTAT (AGAIN) AND FLUSHING ENTIRE COOLANT SYSTEM. FIRESTONE PERSONNEL SAID THIS WAS A RECURRING PROBLEM ON THE BLAZERS WITH THE DEXCOOL BREAKING DOWN AND TURNING INTO A BROWN, MUDDY, GUMMY SUBSTANCE. ACCODING TO FIRESTONE, GM HAS SEVERAL TECH BULLETINS OUT ON THIS, BUT THEY REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THIS DEXCOOL BROKE DOWN AFTER ONLY 30,000 MILES. WHY HAS NOTHING BEEN DONE ABOUT THIS? GM IS KNOWINGLY SELLING A DEFICIENT PRODUCT AND THEY REFUSE TO STAND BEHIND IT. PLEASE, CAN SOMEONE OUT THERE HELP US!?!?!?!*AK

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER
I TRIED TO GET MY EXTENDED WARRANTY TO FIX THE ISSUE, BUT REFUSED TO COVER IT. I TOLD THEM THAT IT WAS A SAFETY ISSUE, THEY DISAGREED. I DID NOT KNOW THAT THE NHTSA EXISTED, OTHER WISE YOU WOULD OF HEARD FROM ME A LONG TIME AGO. I READ AN ARTICLE IN THE PAPER WHICH STATED PROBLEMS WITH RECALLS AND THE VEHICLES INVOLVED AND THATS WHEN I SAW THAT MY CAR WASN'T THE ONLY CHEVROLET VEHICLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF IT HAD ANYMORE RECALLS TO IT AND THEY TOLD ME NO. MY BLAZER HAS HAD PRIOR RECALL FOR A HARNEST OF SOME SORT!!!! THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE TO ME. EVERYTIME IT RAINS I HAVE TO PULL OVER TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY. WIPERS DON'T SEEM TO WORK AT ALL NOW, AND NEITHER DOES THE WATERPUMP THAT SQUIRTS THE WATER TO CLEAN THE WINDSHILD. THIS HAPPEND AFTER APPROX. 90 DAYS AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. *AK
