ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
ON 2/9/00, RUCK WAS TAKEN TO JAMES MARTIN CHEVROLET-BUICK DEALERSHIP DUE TO EMISSION PROBLEMS. THE TRUCK WAS NOT REPAIRED UNTIL 3/7/00 BECAUSE IT WAS "DIFFICULT" TO DETERMINE WHERE THE EVAPORATION LEAK WAS COMING FROM. LESS THAN 6,000 MILES LATER, ANOTHER EMISSION PROBLEM HAPPENED ON JULY 29TH. I WAS DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY WHEN I STARTED TO SMELL GAS FUMES. IT BROUGHT ME TO THE POINT OF CHOCKING AND I HAD TO GET OFF THE EXPRESSWAY AND GET OUT OF THE TRUCK TO BREATHE. THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED ON 7/31/00, HOWEVER, I STILL FEEL THAT A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED ON THE CHEVY BLAZER 1998 EDITION. THE BOTTON OF MY INVOICE STATES THAT FURTHER DIAGNOSIS WILL BE DONE ONCE THE DRIVER NOTICES ANY OTHER PROBLEMS. THIS CONCERNS ME BECAUSE EACH TIME, THE EMISSION PROBLEMS IS BECOMING WORSE THAN THE LAST ONE. *AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:COOLING UNIT AND LINES
I DISCOVERED A LEAK FROM THE TRUCK AND NOTICED THE REAR HATCH OF THE TRUCK WAS COVERED BY AN OILY SUBSTANCE, WHEN I PARKED THE CAR MY GARAGE FILLED WITH SMOKE. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE SERVICE STATION I ALWAYS USE FOR MY BLAZER (NOT THE DEALER). AS SOON AS THEY LOOKED AT THE BLAZER THEY SAID I WAS VERY LUCKY I DIDN'T HAVE A FIRE, IT WAS TRANSMISSION FLUID THAT LEAKED FROM A DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION FLUID LINE. THE CONNECTOR FROM THE TRANSMISSION TO THE TRANSMISSION LINE WAS DEFECTIVE. SINCE THE BLAZER IS 1700 MILES OVER WARRANTY, CHEVY WOULD NOT GIVE ME ANY SATISFACTION. THE SERVICE STATION SAID THE BLAZER WAS NOT DRIVABLE AND VERY DANGEROUS. I HAVE HAD THE BLAZER REPAIRED AND FOR A SIMPLE CONNECTOR (BECAUSE OF WHERE THE CONNECTION IS) IS WAS $237.00 TO REPAIR.*AK
