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

BATTERY LEAKS ACID ONTO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. AS A RESULT, WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, VEHICLE SHUT OFF. *AK

THERE WAS NO EVENTS LEADING UP TO THIS FAILURE... THE PROBLEM IS THE BODY FRAME AROUND THE STRIKER PLATE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR, IS RIPPING APART. THIS VEHICLE IS 3 YEARS OLD, AND HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS NOT BEING CAUSED BY RUST. THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE MANUFACTURING OF THE VEHICLE.*AK

WHILE DRIVING IN INCLEMENT WEATHER, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS CAME ON WHEN THE DRIVER TURNED THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON HIGH SPEED. DEALER WAS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM. DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER THAT VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER RECALL. *AK *TC *JB

ALTHOUGH THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT, I HAVE HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH MY CHEVROLET BLAZER. FIRST, THE GAS GUAGE HAS FAILED. IT CONSTANTLY LIES ON EMPTY, AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON. IN ORDER TO MEASURE MY GAS, I HAVE TO RECORD MY MILEAGE. ALSO, THE LEVER FOR SEAT RECLINER HAS BROKEN OFF OF THE DRIVER SIDE, MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO ADJUST MY SEATING.*AK
