FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP, STEERING:GEAR BOX (OTHER THAN RACK AND PINION), VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM
DEALER STATED ON 9/26/200 THAT FUEL PUMP WAS FAULTY. REPLACED THIS...AUTO STILL DID NOT WORK. DEALER STATED MAYBE A FAULTY FUEL PUMP WAS SENT, ORDERED A 2ND, PUT THIS ONE IN. AGAIN, AUTO DID NOT RUN. AFTER THE 1ST ONE WAS INSTALLED, VEHICLE WAS RELEASED TO ME, 1.5 HOURS LATER, I WAS AGAIN STRANDED. DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS A CPI, SOMETHING WITHIN THE FUEL INJECTOR SYSTEM. THAT WAS REPLACED. IT WASN'T THE PROBLEM. THEY FINALLY STATED IT WAS 3 INJECTORS WITHIN THIS UNIT. THOSE WERE REPLACED AND MY VEHICLE RETURNED TO ME. AUTO WAS IN THE SHOP FROM 9/26/2000 UNTIL 10/10/2000. ON 10/12/2000, ON ROUTE 33 WESTBOUND, MY ACCERLERATOR STUCK, MY BRAKES DID NOT WORK, VEHICLE WAS DOING 95 MPH. I GAINED CONTROL OF VEHICLE AND GOT IT STOPPED. IT WAS TOWED FROM LOGAN, OHIO TO COLUMBUS WHERE I LEASED IT FROM. AS OF RIGHT NOW, IT'S DRIVEABLE, BUT NOT FIXED. THE DEALERSHIP DID SECURE THE CRUISE CONTROL CABLE AWAY FROM ACCERLERATOR SO THAT I COULD DRIVE IT. I HAD TO PAY FOR A RENTAL FROM 9/26/2000-10/10/2000. THEY REFUSED TO GIVE ME A LONER CAR OR RENTAL FROM THEM. I AM STILL AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS, I'VE HAD TOO MUCH BAD LUCK THE LAST FEW WEEKS WITH IT. I'M FIGHTING WITH GM TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THE RENTAL, TOTAL AMOUNT IS $533. I WOULD LIKE TO GET OUT OF THIS LEASE, HAVE MY LEASE TRANSFERRED TO SOMETHING ELSE. AS FAR AS I KNOW, THERE ARE NO RECALLS ON THE 1999 CHEVROLET BLAZERS, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE IS ANY. IT JUST SEEMS ITS FALLING APART ON ME!!*AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL:CATALYTIC CONVERTOR
MANY PROBLEMS WERE IDENTIFIED TO THE DEALER AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE. I WAS TOLD THAT ALL ITEMS WOULD BE CORRECTED. TO DATE ABOUT 50% OF THESE HAVE BEEN CORRECTED AFTER MANY ATTEMPTS BY ME TO GET SATISFACTION WITH THE DEALER. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER BUT HAVE BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL IN MY ATTEMPTS TO GET BY THEIR CUSTOMER SATISFACTION STAFFS. THEY REFER ME BACK TO THE DEALER. MANY ILLEGAL AND IMPROPER ACTIONS WERE TAKEN BY THIS DEALER DURING AND AFTER THE TIME OF PURCHASE. MY SATISFACTION AND SAFETY ARE AT RISK WITH THIS VEHICLE AS THE REAR WINDOW ASSEMBLY DOES NOT SEAT PROPERLY. CONSTANT AIR FLOW AT THIS WINDOW AND AROUND THE DOORS IS CREATING AN UNSAFE ENVIRONMENT WITHIN THE VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THAT CARBON MONOXIDE AND CARBON DIOXIDE FUMES ARE ENTERING THE VEHICLE AT THESE POINTS. MY FAMILY FINDS THAT THEY EXPERIENCE SEVERE AND NUMEROUS HEADACHES, BURNING EYES, ETC. WHEN IN THE VEHICLE. IT IS ALSO CREATING A NOISE HAZARD WITHIN THE VEHICLE AS THE AIR CURRENTS ARE CONSISTANT AT ALL SPEEDS. *AK
