#713354October 15, 1999
ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF WITHOUT NOTICE AT RANDOM. WHEN THIS HAPPENS ON THE FREEWAY, IT IS RATHER UN-NERVING, AS I MUST GET TO THE SHOULDER TO STOP. ONCE TURNED OFF FOR TEN SECONDS, THE ENGINE RESTARTS AS IF NOTHING HAPPENED... UNTIL THE NEXT TIME. FIRESTONE CHARGED ME TO REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR WITH NO IMPROVEMENT. IT HAS SENCE BEEN TO THE TOM JUMPER CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP THREE TIMES. THEY KEEP REPLACING SMALL PARTS, BUT HAVE YET TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM. EACH TIME THEY KEEP THE TRUCK ONE TO TWO WEEKS, BUT THE PROBLEM RETURNS. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE IT IN ITS PRESENT CONDITION, BUT HAVE TO DRIVE TO WORK. I FEEL LIKE THEY WILL NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM UNTIL SOMEONE GETS HURT AS A RESULT OF THIS FAILURE. ANY HELP YOU CAN PROVIDE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
FUEL INJECTORS FAIL EVERY 3,000 MILES. THEY ARE CONSTANTLY BEING REPLACED AND CLEANED. I HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK TO THE ORIGINAL DEALERSHIP WHICH IS 55 MILES AWAY FROM ME. THE GAS GAUGE DOES NOT WORK AND INDICATES THE INCORRECT AMOUNT OF FUEL. THE INDICATOR FLUCTUATES FROM FULL TO EMPTY AS THE TRUCK IS BEING DRIVEN. MY CASE NUMBER WITH CHEVROLET IS #990453585.

#711785September 22, 1999
FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM
BESIDES THE FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM GOING OUT OF THIS VEHICLE THERE IS SOMETHING CALLED A BARRING IN THE HEATER AND AIR THING THAT WE NEED FIXED. WHEN WE RUN THE HEAT OR THE AIR THE CAR GETS REALLY LOUD. MY MECHANIC CALLED JOHNY MORRIS AND THEY SAID THAT THEY HAVE HAD TONS OF BLAZERS BROUGHT BACK TO BE FIXED BECAUSE OF THE FUEL INJECTORS. WHAT I WANT TO KNOW IS, IF THERE IS SO MANY BEING BROUGHT BACK TO BE FIXED WHY DOESN'T CHEVROLET DO A RECALL ON THE FUEL INJECTORS? ITS NOT LIKE ITS A CHEAP PART TO FIX. I BOUGHT THIS BLAZER AS IS WITH NO WARRANTY BUT YOU WOULDN'T THINK THAT SOMETHING THIS MAJOR WOULD GO WRONG WHEN THE VEHICLE IS ONLY 2 YRS OLD.
