2001 CHEVROLET BLAZER Complaints

WHEN I HAD MY BRAKES CHANGED, I WAS TOLD THAT MY ROTORS WERE THE CAUSE OF MY BRAKES WEARING OUT. IS THIS POSSIBLE.

APPLIED BRAKES TO STOP QUICKLY DUE TO STOPPING TRAFFIC. THE ABS SYSTEM SEEM TO HARDLY STOP THE VEHICLE AT ALL. IT JUST SEEMED TO KEEP GOING. VEHICLE STOPS FINE WHEN ABS NOT INVOLVED. *AK

DRIVING WITHIN THE CITY I HEARD A CLACK NOISE AND A LOUD NOISE CAME FROM THE TRANSMISSION, AFTER THAT I COULDN'T USE THE REVERSE, AND FIRST GEAR WAS LONGER THAN USUAL, THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAS 42,000 MILES. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH MECHANICS AND FRIENDS AND THIS IS A MANUFACTURER FAILURE WITH THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE, MY MECHANIC. TOLD ME HE HAS TO FIX SO FAR ABOUT ONE OF THOSE BRAND VEHICLE PER MONTH, A FRIEND TOLD ME HE PURCHASED A CHEVY BLAZER AND MOVING IT FROM DEALER HE COULDN'T MOVE VEHICLE, TRANSMISSION WAS LOCKED, I NEED THE MANUFACTURER FIX MY CAR IMMEDIATELY AT NO COST. SINCE I PURCHASED VEHICLE TOOK IT TWICE BECAUSE I WAS HEARING A NOISE, BUT CHEVROLET DEALER SAID EVERYTHING WAS FINE, THEY COULDN'T FINE ANY NOISE, BUT I HEARD THAT NOISE TWICE AND A VERY LOUD AND STEADY NOICE SOMETIMES COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION AFTER SPEEDING IN A TRAFFIC LIGHT (FROM RED TO GREEN). *AK

CONSUMER STATES STEERING WHEEL WILL NOT LOCK INTO PLACE ,STEERING WHEEL WOULD MOVE UP AND DOWN AND SIDE TO SIDE. DEALER HAS BEEN CONTACTED. *AK

CONSUMER STATES VEHICLE INTERIOR LIGHTS COME ON WITHOUT TURNING SWITCH ON. DASH INDICATION IS VERY HOT TO TOUCH. DEALER HAS BEEN CONTACTED. *AK

VEHICLE SWITCHES INTO 4- WHEEL DRIVE LOW INTERMITTENTLY WITH NO USER ACTION TAKEN.*AK

ON THE 10 OF JULY I TOOK MY 2001 CHEVY BLAZER IN FOR ROUTINE BRAKE SERVICE, I WAS THEN TOLD BY MY MECHANIC(SATCH WHITT) THAT I HAD 4 DEFECTIVE ROTORS THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, THAT THEY APPEARED TO BE DEFECTIVE. HE STATED THAT THE METAL WAS JUST FLAKING OFF AND TO HIM IT APPEARED THAT THEY HAD BEEN MADE FROM REPROCESSED METAL. HE ALSO STATED THAT HE HAD SEEN ALOT OF THIS IN THE NEWER CHEVY PRODUCTS RECENTLY. ALTHOUGH I WAS LUCKY AND DID NOT HAVE AN ACCIDENT I FEEL THAT THIS IS A VERY REAL SAFETY CONCERN FOR AMERICAN FAMILIES. I HAVE KEPT THE ROTORS IN HOPES THAT CHEVROLET WOULD STAND BEHIND THIER PRODUCT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION IN THIS SAFETY MATTER, MARK WILEY. *AK

WHILE EXPECTING THE VEHICLE NOTICED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHT DOESN'T APPEAR AT ALL. *AK

CONSUMER STATED THAT WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE THE PEDAL WILL STICK IN THE IDLE POSITION, CAUSING A DISTRACTION TO THE CONSUMER. DEALER NOTIFIED. *AK

TRANSFER CASE HAS FAILED 3 TIMES, AND EACH TIME IT WAS REPLACED BY THE DEALER. IT STAYED IN 4 HIGH, AND IT JUST LOCKED UP, CONSUMER HAD IT REPLACED AND IT WORKED FOR A MINUTE AND FAILED AGAIN, IT KEPT DOING THE SAME THING.*AK
