(1) WE OWN A 2001 BLAZER. IN THE PAST OUR VEHICLE HAS BEEN REAR ENDED TWICE, MY WIFE SUFFERED A NECK INJURY IN THE 1ST ACCIDENT. THE 2ND ACCIDENT JUST HAPPENED ABOUT A MONTH OR SO AGO. (2) 2-19-2005 I WAS FOLLOWING MY WIFE HOME ,AFTER HAVING MY OTHER VEHICLE SERVICED,AND NOTICED THE STOP LAMPS WERE NOT WORKING. I GOT ON THE INTERNET ,& FOUND THERE WAS A RECALL FOR 2000--2002 BLAZERS WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM NHTSA RECALL 01V364/GM. (3) I CALLED GM AT 1-800-222-1020 GAVE THEM MY VIN NUMBER,THEY SAID MY VEHICLE WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL .BUT I SHOULD TAKE TO VEHICLE TO A GM DEALER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE ,HAVE THE MULTI-SWITCH REPAIRED,& THEY WOULD REIMBURSE ME FOR THE EXPENSES THEN ,THE FIRST PERSON I SPOKE WITH NEVER CALLED ME BACK AS THEY STATED THEY WOULD,I CALLED HIM BACK TWICE. AFTER NO RESPONSE I CALLED ,& SPOKE WITH ANOTHER PERSON , SHE WAS GOING TO CALL THE LOCATION I HAD THE MULTI-SWITCH REPLACED,& CALL ME BACK , HER CO-WORKER CALLED ME ,& TOLD ME SHE WAS IN A MEETING ,& I SHOULD CALL HER BACK. SINCE THEN I HAVE CALLED HER BACK 3 TIMES,JUST GOT HER VOICE MAIL ! STILL WAITING TO HEAR BACK FROM HER. I CAN NOT BELIEVE GM IS NOT TAKING THIS SAFETY PROBLEM SERIOUS!! MY WIFE,& CHILDREN COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT. IF OUR BLAZER IS NOT PART OF A RECALL THEN GM MUST BE TRYING TO HIDE THIS PROBLEM!. *AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, TIRES, EQUIPMENT
I AM PREGNANT AND VERY SCARED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AGAIN. I WAS TOLD BY RICK, SERVICE MANAGER, TONI HALL AT FLOW CHEVROLET A YEAR AGO THAT THIS 4X2 AND 4X4 WHEEL DRIVE WAS CORRECTED WHILE UNDER WARRANTY. THEY REFUSED TO FIX THE MAJOR PROBLEM AND CHANGED OUT A SWITCH. DURING THIS WHOLE YEAR I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE COMFORTABLLY. NOW THEY HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE WHOLE FRONT END. A BRAND NEW CAR NOW WITH ONLY 39,000 MILES. THE NOISE IS TERRIFYING AND I'VE BEEN INSULTED BY GM WITH A LOYALTY INCENTIVE FOR $700 TO TAKE OFF ON A NEW VEHICLE. NO ONE CAN ASURE ME THAT I WILL BE SAFE, EVEN AFTER THEY TOLD ME IT WAS FIXED A YEAR AGO. I'M SCARED TO DRIVE IT. I WILL LEAVE IT AT THEIR PLACE UNTIL THEY CAN GET ME A SAFE CAR TO DRIVE.*AK

SUSPENSION:FRONT:WHEEL BEARING, STEERING:LINKAGES:KNUCKLE:SPINDLE:ARM
I OWN A 2001 CHEVROLET 2DR 2WHEEL DRIVE BLAZER. THE WHEEL BEARINGS AND SPINDLE / PARTS HAVE ALREADY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ON BOTH SIDES/FRONT. I FOUND THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE THE WHEEL OF MY FRONT PASSENGER SIDE CAME OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THANKFULLY I HEARD THE GRINDING AND SLOWED MY SPEED TO 5-6 MPH AND HAD TURNED MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON. FROM WHAT I AM LEARNING THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT IS SOME WHAT COMMON WITH MY MAKE/MODEL VEHICLE. I HAVE ALSO SEEM COMPLAINTS OF THIS NATURE ON CANADIAN AUTO CLUB SITES. *AK

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
VEHICLE STOPPED (AT 9:30P.M.) WHILE I WAS TURNING A CORNER. NO WARNING SIGNS/LIGHTS/INDICATORS. MECHANIC TOLD ME THE FUEL PUMP HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE FIRST FUEL PUMP OBTAINED WAS DEFECTIVE AND LEAKED. MECHANIC JUST RECEIVED ANOTHER FUEL PUMP - BACK ORDERED. I AM A SINGLE MOTHER OF A TEENAGER WHO IS SUPPOSED TO GET HER LICENSE NEXT MONTH. THIS IS THE ONLY CAR WE HAVE. SO, THE CONSEQUENCES HAVE BEEN DEVASTATING FINANCIALLY, MENTALLY, AND EMOTIONALLY...NOW IT IS CHRISTMAS EVE AND WE STILL DO NOT HAVE THE CAR BACK! THE FACT THAT THERE ARE OTHER REPORTS OF THIS SAME DANGEROUS PROBLEM WITH FUEL PUMPS IN CHEVY BLAZERS IS QUITE DISTURBING. I HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM LIKE THIS WITH ANY OTHER MAKE OF VEHICLE (HONDA, TOYOTA, OLDSMOBILE, MERCEDESBENZ) IN THE 30 YEARS I'VE BEEN DRIVING! I HAVE WRITTEN TO CHEVROLET AND AM DEMANDING REIMBURSEMENT FOR PARTS AND LABOR. AM SELLING VEHICLE IN 2005 - WILL NOT HAVE MY TEENAGER DRIVING THIS CAR.*AK

VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM:HEATER CORE
I OWN A 2001 CHEVY BLAZER. LOST HEAT IN JAN. 2004. TOOK IT TO DEALER. THEY FLUSHED THE SYSTEM AND REPLACED THERMOSTAT. 3 TO 4 WEEKS LATER THE SAME THING . THEY CLEANED OUT FILTER. 30 DAYS LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THEY SAID THE FILTER WAS CLOGGED AGAIN. AS THE WEATHER WARMED UP I DIDN'T NEED THE HEAT. AS THE COLDER WEATHER APPROACHED AGAIN, USED THE HEAT 2 TIMES AND THE 3 RD TIME THE HEATER CORE WENT OUT COMPLETELY. WHEN I RETURNED TO THE DEALER THERE WERE ABOUT 10 OTHER BLAZERS THERE FOR THE SAME REASON. THEY SAY IT IS OUR PROBLEM NOW. NOW WITHOUT HEAT AND HAVE TO KEEP AIR CONDITIONER ON AND STILL SMELL COOLANT INSIDE THE VEHICLE. IF THERE IS THAT MANY VEHICLES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM THEN , I WOULD SAY IT WAS DEFECTIVE PARTS USED. TO REPLACE THE PART IS ALMOST $200. AND WITH LABOR OVER $600. TO HAVE TO PUT OUT THAT KIND OF MONEY ON VEHICLE THAT IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD IS WRONG FOR CONSUMERS. TO LEAVE IT UNATTENDED COULD BE A HEALTH HAZARD, WITH COOLANT ENTERING THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. *JB
