2001 CHEVROLET BLAZER FUEL INJECTORS ARE DEFECTIVE.***NO ANSWER REQUIRED***. *MR THE CONSUMER INFORMED BOTH THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER OF THE PROBLEM. THERE IS CURRENTLY A RECALL ON THE INJECTORS IN CALIFORNIA ONLY. *NM

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

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

VEHICLE WAS PARKED WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT CAUGHT ON FIRE DUE TO AN ELECTRICAL SHORT IN THE HEATER. *AK

VEHICLE SLIPPED WHILE TRAVELING ON ICE AT 55 MPH, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STRIKE A CONCRETE RETAINING WALL, AND IT ROLLED OVER. UPON IMPACT, AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.*AK

CONSUMER'S VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONT COLLISION AT 40 MPH DUE TO INCLEMENT WEATHER. UPON IMPACT, AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. CONSUMER CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER. *AK

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

WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH CONSUMER WAS INFORMED BY ANOTHER DRIVER THAT THE BRAKES LIGHTS WERE INOPERATIVE. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION, AND MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE HAZARD SWITCH CARRIER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *AK

BRAKE ROTORS FLAKING AND REQUIRING REPLACEMENT WITH LESS THAN 32000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. WE OWN TWO GM PRODUCTS THAT HAVE HAD ALL ROTORS REPLACED BELOW 32000 MILES OF WEAR.*AK
