2002 CHEVROLET BLAZER Complaints

I HAD PUCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW FROM AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. WITHIN A FEW MONTHS OF PURCHASE I HAD NOTICED THAT THE GAS MILEAGE WASN'T CLOSE TO THE ESTIMATED MPG WHICH WAS 15 CITY AND 17 HIGHWAY. I WAS GETTING ANYWHERE FROM 9.4 MPG TO 10.5 MPG WITH AVERAGE DRIVING. I HAD ALSO NOTICED THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SLIPPING. WITH THESE TWO MAJOR PROBLEMS I HAD BROUGHT THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER FROM WHICH I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND REPORTED THE PROBLEMS. THEY WHERE NO HELP. THEY INSISTED THAT IT WAS THE WAY THAT I WAS DRIVING RATHER THAN THE VEHCILE HAVING DEFECTIVE PARTS. I AM VERY UNSATISFIED WITH THE PRODUCT AND THE GM COMPANY. DT

VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING AND/OR WON'T START FROM TIME TO TIME. ELECTRICAL COMPONENT HAS BEEN REPLACED BUT IT WAS DISCOVERED TO BE THE WRONG PART. IT WAS LATER REPLACED AFTER REAR WIND SHIELD WIPER WOULDN'T START. TO DATE THE PROBLEM HAS REOCCURRED. DT

FINGERS BENT AND TWISTED TO CONFORM TO THE STEERING WHEEL. INDEX AND MIDDLE FINGERS ARE BENT AND TWISTED TOWARDS THE BABY FINGERS. THUMBS ARE BENT AWAY FROM HANDS. INFORMATION SUBMITTED ON BEHALF OD DR. SAUVE BY MIKE TOMICH 989-665-2311. DT

CONSUMER STATES THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD STALLS INTERMITTENTLY AT MULIPLE SPEED WITHOUT WARNING. DEALER INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND DETERMIED THE FUEL PUMP IS FAILING. FEEL FREE TO PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION.

CONSUMER STATES WHILE DRIVING 55MPH A LOUD NOISE OCCURED AND TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING. NLM

CONSUMER STATES WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED AND NO WARNING THE FUEL TANK HAD CRACK CAUSING FLUID TO LEAK OUT, CONSUMER WILL HAD TO REFILL THE TANK MORE THEN USUAL DEALER NOTIFIED.*JB

THE SEAT BACKS ARE MUCH TOO HIGH AND WIDE ALLOW FOR CLEAR VISION TO SIDE AND REAR. BLOCKED VISION WHEN CHECKING BLIND SPOT TO CHANGE LANES HAS CAUSED SEVERAL NEAR MISSES WHICH COULD EASILY HAVE BEEN COLLISIONS AT HIGHWAY SPEED. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY PROBLEM WITH THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH. THE MANUFACTURER HAS CLAIMED IT IS A DESIGN ISSUE AND NOT A MANUFACTURING FLAW AND HAS DENIED ANY ACTION. THAT WON'T BE MUCH OF AN ANWER WHEN MY 3 MONTH OLD AND 3 YEAR OLD DAUGHTERS AND THEIR MOTHER ARE KILLED OR INJURED IN AN ACCIDENT CAUSED BY THIS POOR DESIGN.*AK

SHOCK ABSORBERS WERE WRONGLY DESIGNED BY MANUFACTURER AND BECAME DEFECTIVE, CAUSING DAMAGE ON BOTH FRONT TIRES. DEALER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED.*AK

STREERING OF MY TRAILER BLAZER IS VAGUE AND NOT RESPONSIVE. THE VEHICLE IS HARD TO CONTROL AT HIGHER RATE OF SPEED, ESPECIALLY AROUND 65MPH. THE REAR SUSPENSION FEEL SOFT AND SLIDES WHEN MAKING QUICK MOVEMENTS LEFT OR RIGHT IN THE STREERING. THE STREERING AT LOWER SPEEDS FEELS SOFT WITH PLAY IN THE CONTROL. OTHER VEHICLES TEST DRIVEN DO NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. YOU CAN NOTICE THE DIFFERENCE IMMEDIATELY. ON WINDY DAYS THE CAR MOVES CONSTANTLY AND THE STREERING IS DELAYED IN CORRECTING THE PUSH. THE VEHICLE SLIDES TO MUCH BEFORE THE STREERING CORRECTS IT. HENCE THE VAGUE AND DELAYED RESPONSE OF THE STREERING. *AK

POWER TRAIN-TRANSMISSION IS LOUD AND ALMOST IS SLIPPING WHEN GOING INTO 1ST AND 2ND GEAR OF AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. DEALER SAYS OTHERS HAVE SAME COMPLAINT WITH NO FIX AVAILABLE. FAN CLUTCH ENGAGES DUE TO FAULTY SIGNAL FROM SENSOR. ENGINE SOUNDS VERY LOUD WHEN IT ENGAGES. FAN CLUTCH REPLACED ONCE ALREADY BEFORE TAKING DELIVERY OF CAR. ANOTHER DEALER STATES THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS ALSO BEEN PRESENT SINCE 1999 FOR THIS CAR WITH NO FIX AVAILABLE. THERE IS A TSB ON THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM WITH CAUSE UNKNOWN AND NO AVAILABLE FIX. SEEMS THAT SINCE OTHERS ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE.*AK
