STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS
I HAVE CONTACTED CHEVROLET AND THEY WILL NOT ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FRAME WELD FAILING. THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE, BUT OFFER NO REMEDY OTHER THAN REPLACING THE FRAME AT MY OWN EXPENSE. THEY COULD NOT PROVIDE ME WITH A COST TO DO THIS TYPE OF REPLACEMENT. I FEEL THIS IS A POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE EFFECTING OTHER OWNERS. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE CHEVROLET TAKE RESPONSIBILTY FOR WHAT IS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. I REALIZE THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY BECAUSE OF MILES, BUT IT IS A 2 YEAR OLD VEHICLE WHICH A REASONABLE PERSON SHOULD EXPECT THE FRAME TO LAST BEYOND THAT TIME.*AK

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TURN SIGNAL:FLASHER UNIT
PROBLEM WITH LANE CHANGE FEATURE IN TURN SIGNAL SWITCH. LANE CHANGE SIGNAL WILL OPERATE FRONT OR REAR SIGNAL INDICATOR INDEPENTALTY OR JUST GIVE AUDIO ACKNOWLEDGE FOR FLASH WITH NO INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. IN MANY CASES THE ONLY INDICATION IS THE FLASHER WILL FLASH AT A MORE RAPID RATE. MANY GM CARS AND TRUCKS HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND IT IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE OPERATOR DOES NOT KNOW THAT AN INDICATOR IS NOT ILLUMINATED BECAUSE THE DASH INDICATOR IS OPERATING AND ONE OR MORE OUTSIDE (FRONT OR REAR) INDICATORS WILL NOT BE OPERATING.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
I REPORTED MY DEFECT (HEADLIGHTS & DASH LIGHTS DIMMED ) TO GMAC, WITHIN 3 MO OF MY PURCHASE, I WASN'T SURE I WHAT I WAS SEEING AT FIRST. I WAS TOLD BY GMAC TO TAKE MY BLAZER TO WHITLOW CHEVROLET (804-323-7600), THEY KEPT MY BLAZER FOR 2 DAYS. THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT REPRODUCE MY PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE WRITER, THEY WOULD INFORM ME OF ANY BULLETINS THAT MIGHT BE RELATED TO MY PROBLEM. I MENTIONED I HEARD THE 1999 CORVETTE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM, HE SAID IT WAS NOT RELATED AT ALL. I CHANGE MY OIL EVERY 3,000MI AND EVERY TIME I VISITED WHITLOW I WOULD ASK THE QUESTION ABOUT MY PROBLEM, THE RESPONSE WAS "NO". I TOOK A TRIP TO INDIANIA ON I-70, I WAS DRIVING THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT, SO WAS THE DRIVER IN FRONT OF ME. MY LIGHTS DIMMED AND THE DRIVER IN FRONT OF ME GOT BEHIND ME AND FLASHED HIS LIGHTS FOR SEVERAL MILES. I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO BE A VICTIM. ASAP, I CALLED GMAC , THEY LISTEN TO MY PROBLEM AGAIN REFERRED ME TO RATLEY CHEVROLET (540-898-4000). MY FIRST VISIT WAS INTERESTING, THEY KNEW MY ABOUT MY PROBLEM. INORDER FOR MY EXTENDED WARRANTY TO COVER THE WORK, THEY NEEDED TO PROVE MY PROBLEM. THEY KEPT MY BLAZER OVERNITE, PUT IT ON THEIR COMPUTER, FOUND MY PROBLEM A FAULTY ABS SENSORS ,AND COMPUTER MODUAL CAUSING THE ABS MOTOR TO TURN ITSELF ON/OFF ,DIMMING MY HEADLIGHTS & DASH LIGHTS. TO MY SURPRISE I WAS TOLD CHEVROLET COULD NOT FIX MY PROBLEM BECAUSE THE ABS COMPUTER MODUAL AND SENSORS WERE DEFECTIVE. SO I'M STILL DRIVING BLAZER, LESS AT NIGHT. MY CONCERN IS IF THE ABS MOTOR IS CONTANTLY RUNNING ON/OFF, WHAT IS THE LIFETIME OF THE ABS MOTOR, I'M SURE IT WAS NOT DESIGNED FOR A CONSTANT ON/OFF LIFE CYCLE, MY QUESTION TO YOU AND CHVEROLET, WILL MY ABS, WORK WHEN I REALLY NEED THEM, TOO. I AM TURNING TO YOU FOR HELP. THANKS IN ADVANCE, RICHARD HILLARD. *AK
