FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:STORAGE:FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM
FUEL GAGE WAS READING FULL AND WE RAN OUT OF GAS. I THOUGHT MY WIFE HAD FILLED THE CAR UP AND SHE THOUGHT I HAD. SO, FORTUNATELY WE WERE ONLY 10-15 MILES FROM HELP. WE ADDED A COUPLE GALLONS OF GAS AND FILLED UP AT THE GAS STATION. THE PROBLEM HASN'T BEEN FIXED YET. GAGE SEEMS TO READ OK TILL HALF A TANK, THEN IT SEEMS TO STAY AROUND A HALF A TANK.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHEN USING WINDSHIELD WIPERS, WIPERS WORK AT RANDOM STOPPING IN MIDDLE OF WINDOW INTERRUPTING VIEW. WHEN TURNING KEY ON, DASH LIGHTS REFUSE TO LIGHT UP AND VEHICLE WILL NOT START; ALTHOUGH RADIO STILL WORKS. IT WILL EVENTUALLY START;WHEN READY! SOMETIMES SHORTLY AFTER FIRST TRYING, SOMETIMES 30-45 MINUTES LATER. BRAKES MUST BE PRESSED COMPLETELY TO FLOOR BEFORE DECELLERATION BEGINS. WHEN GOING OVER JSPEED BUMPS, SOUNDS LIKE LOUD DRAGGING NOISE COMING FROM UNDERNEATH OF VEHICLE. BACK SEAT PASSENGER SIDE POWER WINDOW DOES NOT WORK, WILL FUNCTION USING DRIVER SIDE CONTROLS. GAS GUAGE DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY, CAUSING TO RUN OUT OF GAS OCCASIONALLY. WHILE DRIVING AT MINIMAL(55MPH) SPEED, VEHICLE WILL DIE BUT WILL SOMETIMES START ITSELF BACK UP, SOMETIMES IT MUST BE PUT IN NEUTRAL & RESTARTED.*AK

SEAT BELTS:REAR/OTHER
I AM HAVING A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH MY 97 CHEVROLET BLAZER. THE SEAT BELT BUCKLES IN THE BACK SEAT ONLY WORK PART OF THE TIME. THE GAS GAUGE DOES NOT WORK. I FILL UP AND IT REGISTERS ON EMPTY AFTER 2 MILES. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SEEMS TO BE MALFUNCTIONING. AS I DRIVE, INTERIOR LIGHTS FLASH ON & OFF OR THE OUTSIDE LIGHTS DIM WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. THE LEATHER SEAT IS RIPPING ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND I WEIGH 120 POUNDS, SO YOU WOULD THINK IT WOULD BE STURDIER THAN THAT. WHAT ELSE CAN GO WRONG???*AK
