I HAVE DONE A BIT OF INQUIRING TO OTHER CHEVY BLAZER OWNERS AND FOUND OUT THAT THEY HAVE OR HAD EXPERIENCE SOME IF NOT ALL OF THE SAME PROBLEMS THAT I AM EXPERIENCING NOW. I AM HEREBY RESPECTFULLY REQUESTING YOUR ASSISTANCE IN RECTIFYING THIS COMPLAINT. I DON'T THINK THAT AFTER 11MTHS OF PURCHASING MY VEHICLE I SHOULD BE NEEDING MY TRANSMISSION REPLACE. FROM PASSED EXPERIENCED WITH REPLACING A TRANSMISSION ON MY WIFE NEW VEHICLE (MAZDA MX3) BACK IN 1992 IT HAS NEVER BEEN THE SAME. WE HAD BEEN HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS AND MORE WITH IT. WE WERE ABLE TO ACTUALLY GET ANOTHER VEHICLE AND THE SAME PROBLEM KEEP OCCURING . AFTER THAT LONG AND TIRING EXPERIENCE WITH MY WIFE'S CAR I NOW THAT THIS WON'T BE NO DIFFERENT. I HAVE PURCHASED A LEMON AND I NEED TO KNOW WHAT RECOURSE I CAN TAKE TO INSURE THAT I WOULD NOT BE STUCK WITH A VEHICLE THAT WOULD BE COSTING ME MORE TO HAVE IT CONSTANTLY FIXED AND REPLACE. I THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP AND ASSISTANCE IN THIS LONG AND TIRING ORDEAL. I ANXIOUSLY AWAIT HEARING FROM YOU. RESPECTFULLY YOURS. *AK

SEAT BELTS:FRONT:RETRACTOR
MY 9 YEAR OLD SON UNBUCKLED THE LEFT REAR SEAT BELT (WHERE HE HAD BEEN SEATED) AFTER I PARKED THE VEHICLE IN MY DRIVEWAY. SOMEHOW HE BECAME ENTANGLED IN IT WHEN HE TURNED AROUND IN THE SEAT TO LOOK IN THE CARGO AREA. THE BELT BECAME WRAPPED AROUND HIS STOMACH AS HE STRUGGLED TO FREE HIMSELF, AND BECAUSE THE BELT WOULD NOT RELEASE, BUT KEPT GETTING TIGHTER AND TIGHTER, THERE WAS NO WAY TO GET HIM OUT OF IT . I HAD TO GET MY SEWING SCISSORS TO CUT HIM FREE AS THE BELT WOULDN'T GIVE US ANY SLACK, BUT KEPT REELING IN , GETTING TIGHTER AND TIGHTER. I'M CONCERNED THAT SOME CHILD MAY GET ONE OF THESE BELTS WRAPPED AROUND HIS NECK. ONCE THE UNBUCKLED BELT IS REELED IN, IT WON'T GIVE ANY SLACK UNTIL IT GOES ALL THE WAY IN. IF SOMEONE GETS ENTANGLED, AND THERE ISN'T A KNIFE OR SCISSORS HANDY, I'M AFRAID THERE WILL BE A FATALITY.*AK
