BRAND NEW TRUCK, HAVE OWNED ALMOST 1 YEAR. HAD TO TAKE TRUCK IN FOR SLOW ACCELERATION PROBLEM AS WELL AS HARD TO CRANK. COULD NOT PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC, HAD TO WAIT UNTIL THERE WAS NO ONE ON THE ROAD BECAUSE I WOULD TRY TO ACCELERATE THEN IT WOULD STOP/PAUSE FOR A SECOND THEN START TO GO AGAIN. TOOK MY TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHICH THEY FOUND ONE OF THE HEADS IN THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. (WHICH AT FIRST THEY TOLD ME I HAD A SLOW MISFIRE ON PISTON #2 AND THEY HAD TO REPLACE A SPRING AND A COIL) A MONTH LATER I FINALLY GOT MY TRUCK BACK. ONE WEEK LATER I HEARD A KNOCKING NOISE SO I TOOK MY TRUCK BACK TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD MY OIL WAS LOW SO THEY TOPPED IT OFF (DIDN'T WORK BY THE WAY). STILL HAVING HARD TIME CRANKING PERIODICALLY THROUGHOUT THE DAY. TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY KEPT MY TRUCK FOR 4 DAYS AND SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT EXCEPT A LOOSE STARTER BOLT THAT THEY TIGHTENED. TRUCK STILL CRANKING FUNNY BUT WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING FURTHER THEY COULD DO FOR ME. *JB

THE BRAKES ON THE 2003 EXPEDITION ISN'T DESIGNED TO HOLD THE HEAVY WEIGHT OF THE EXPEDITION. THIS CAUSE THE BRAKES TO NEED TO BE REPLACED NUMEROUS TIMES. FORD NEEDS TO RECALL THE BRAKES AND PUT BIGGER BRAKE PADS IN THEM. I HAVE HAD TO EVEN REPLACE THEM METAL TO METAL IN THE FRONT 7 TIMES IN 3 YEARS AND UNDER 45,000 MILES. I EVEN HAD TO REPLACE THE MASTER CYLINDER DUE TO LEAKAGE AT 45,000 MILES. ALSO DUE TO ELECTRONIC PROBLEMS I HAVE HAD I WAS UNABLE TO LOCK THE SUV AND HAD THE ALARM SOUND BECAUSE OF IT AND WINDOWS DON'T GO UP AND DOWN CORRECTLY. *JB

WE HAVE OWNED 2000 BLAZER SINCE 0/6/2001 2ND OWNER BOUGHT WITH LESS THAN 19000 MILES ON IT. MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH REPLACED BECAUSE OF RECALL ACTS UP WHEN BULBS ARE WEAK. WE ARE ON THE THIRD SET OF UPPER BALL JOINTS NONE PAID FOR BY WARRANTY. LEFT HUB ASSEMBLY FAILURE WHICH RESULTED IN ABS MALFUNCTION FIXED BY EXTENDED WARRANTY. DRIVER DOOR HINGE ASSEMBLY RUSTED WOULD NOT CLOSE WITHOUT FORCE FIXED BUT NOT COVERED BY ANY WARRANTY. SUSPECT DRIVER SIDE IS STARTING TO FAIL AGAIN BECAUSE OF THE LOUD SQUEAKING. MOST IMPORTANT! PASSENGER SIDE DOOR HAS DEVELOPED SAME PROBLEM AND WILL NOT SHUT CORRECTLY. ON MAY 01,2006 AFTER PICKING UP MY 12 YEAR OLD NEPHEW WE WERE TO STARTING TO DOWN THE STREET WHEN PASSENGER DOOR FLEW OPEN!!!! I AM AFRAID TO LET ANYONE SIT IN FRONT UNTIL THIS IS FIXED! THE HINGES AND PINS APPEAR TO BE GETTING WET AND RUSTING . ALSO ALL ROTORS HAVE HAD TO BE REPLACED ON THIS VEHICLE . THIS BLAZER HAS ONLY 88,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE DECIDED TO INCLUDE ALL PROBLEMS BUT AM MOST CONCERNED ABOUT DOORS, IF WE HAD BEEN GOING FASTER I AM AFRAID MY NEPHEW WOULD HAVE FALLEN OUT OF VEHICLE!!! *JB

BRAKES ARE SOFT WITH LONG STOPPING DISTANCE. INVOLVED IN MINOR MVC. AFTERWARDS FOUND REAR BRAKE ROTORS AND BRAKE ASSEMBLY RUSTED AND COMPONENTS CORRODED. REAR BRAKE CONTACT <50%. LESS THAN 25K MILES. *NM

I HAVE REPLACED MY HEADLIGHT SWITCH 3 TIMES NOW, THE 2ND TIME I WOULD DRIVE AND HEADLIGHTS WOULD FLASH HIGH AND LOW LIKE A POLICE CAR, NOW MY DAY TIME HEADLAMPS DO NOT WORK? INCIDENT DATES ARE NOT CORRECT NOT SURE. *NM

THE HANDLES ON BOTH SIDES OF THE SEAT BROKE VERY SHORTLY AFTER WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. ALSO THE THIRD DOOR HANDLE HAS BEEN REPLACED BY US ALREADY AND IS BROKEN AGAIN, ALSO THE THIRD DOOR BRACKET AT THE TOP MY HUSBAND HAD TO WELD BECAUSE WE COULD NOT FIND ONE THIS BRACKET BROKE AND THE DOOR FLEW OPEN WHILE HE WAS DRIVING. THE SPRING IN THE HINGE DOOR BROKE OFF AND NOW THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR IS NOT OPENING PROPERLY. WE HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THIS EVER SINCE WE BOUGHT IT. *NM

STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE INDICATORS ON THE DASH COMING ON WHEN THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN AND ALSO THE TACH QUIT WORKING. THEN EVERYTHING WOULD START WORKING PROPERLY AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED 3 TIMES AND THE LAST INCIDENT WAS THE ODOMETER RESET TO "0", SO NOW WE HAVE NO IDEA WHAT OUR MILEAGE IS AND ALSO THE CLOCK ON THE RADIO JUMPS AHEAD A COUPLE HOURS. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR A NEW GAUGE CLUSTER AT THE COST OF $200-$300 AND ALSO $60 FOR A SOFTWARE UPGRADE FOR THE OTHER DASH PROBLEMS. I ALSO CALLED GM AND LET THEM KNOW ABOUT IT AND TOLD THEM I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR A NEW GAUGE CLUSTER SINCE IT SEEMS THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW AND ALSO THE SERIOUSNESS OF THE ODOMETER RESETTING. *JB

LOW COOLANT LIGHT STAYS ON - REPLACED FIRST TIME LOW COOLANT LIGHT STAYS ON - REPLACED SECOND TIME. *JB

1999 CHEVY TAHOE ABS FRONT WHEEL SPEED SENSOR CORROSION CHEVROLET/GMC HAS INDICATED THAT THE 1999 CHEVY TAHOE THAT I OWN IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE PREVIOUSLY ANNOUNCED SAFETY RECALL 05068.

RECOMMEND REPLACING BOTH WHEEL SPEED SENSORS TO CORRECT THIS CONDITION."

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ENTERING THE FREEWAY ON RAMP. THE RAMP IS CONTROLLED BY A SIGNAL AND I WAS WAITING MY TURN WHEN THE ENGINE FAILED. I WAS COASTING DOWNHILL INTO ANOTHER CAR WHEN I HIT THE BRAKES AND THERE WERE NO BRAKES. I BUMPED THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME DAMAGING THE FRONT GRILL AND HOOD OF MY CAR. SUBMITTED THE CAR TO THE DEALER FOR EVALUATION OF AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. THE DEALER HAS BEEN UNABLE TO DUPLICATE. *JB
