URGENT- THIS WILL KILL PEOPLE PLEASE READ - MY 2000 CHEVROLET BLAZER ROLLED AT 30 MPH AFTER HITTING A CHUCK HOLE ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD. IT THREW ME TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD SO I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE BACK ONTO THE ROAD AT WHICH TIME MY STEERING COLUMN WAS GOING CRAZY AND THEN I ROLLED AT LEAST ONCE BEFORE STOPPING - I REALLY THOUGHT I WAS DEAD, AND MY VEHICLE IS A TOTAL LOSS. I HAVE THE VEHICLE IN MY POSSESSION NOW - BECAUSE OF THEFT RELATED ISSUES WITH ALLSTATE INSURANCE COMPANY. I WOULD LIKE SOME HELP SHOWING THE WORLD THAT IT MAY NOT BE A FIRESTONE PROBLEM, IT MAY BE A SUSPENSION PROBLEM. I CAN CLOSE MY EYES AND TELL YOU IN SLOW MOTION EXACTLY WHAT THE VEHICLE DID AND YOU WOULD THINK GM WOULD WANT TO HAVE ME INTERVIEWED -- SINCE I LIVED!!! I HAVE PICTURES AS WELL IF YOU WANT TO HAVE THEM EMAILED. PLEASE HELP. IT HAPPEND IN A SPLIT SECOND, GOING ONLY 30 MPH 1/2 MILE FROM MY HOUSE IN TEXAS (102 DEGREES). *AK (DOT NUMBER: ? TIRESIZE: ?)

SUSPENSION:FRONT
THE DEALER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS PROBLEM IS A LONG-STANDING PROBLEM AND IS THE "NORM FOR THE BLAZERS." THEY FEEL THEIR VEHICLE IS NONETHELESS SAFE EVEN THOUGH IT SEVERELY AFFECTS STEERING IN CORNERING AND TURNS. ON EXTREME RIGHT CURVING UP/DOWN ROAD THIS INSTABILITY MAKES THE VEHICLE FEEL AS IF IT IS LEAVING THE ROADWAY. ON A RAINY ROAD IF YOU BREAK IN THE AFOREMENTIONED CONDITION, THE REAR END FANS OUT LEFT. *AK

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
PROBLEM: THE TRANSMISSION POPS OUT OF FIRST GEAR, SOMETIMES IMMEDIATELY AND SOMETIMES AFTER STARTING AWAY WHICH OFTEN CAUSES THE CARS BEHIND ME TO NEARLY REAR END ME. DEALER HAS BEEN ADVISED AND PARTS HAVE BEEN ORDERED. MY CONCERN IS THE LONG TERM SAFETY AND INTEGRITY OF THE UNIT. THE PROBLEM OCCURS ESPECIALLY AFTER THE CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN IN HEAVY TRAFFIC; THAT IS A TIME WHEN THE CHANCES OF BEING INJURED BY OUR CRACK LEGION OF AGGRESSIVE URBAN DRIVERS IS GREATEST. YOU'D THINK AFTER 100 YEARS OF MANUFACTURING MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS THAT PERFECTION WOULD HAVE BEEN ACHIEVED BY NOW. LASTLY, I'M NOT CRAZY ABOUT BEING A POTENTIAL CRASH TEST DUMMY FOR A PROBLEM WHICH SHOULD BE AUTOMATICALLY REPLACED, NOT PATCHED.
