2001 CHEVROLET BLAZER Complaints

POWER TAILGATE WOULD COME AJAR WHILE DRIVING, AND AJAR LIGHT WOULD NOT COME ON. DEALER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED, AND WAS UNABLE TO CORRECT PROBLEM. FEEL FREE TO PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

INTERMITTENTLY DOME LIGHT ILLUMINATES. ALSO, TURN SIGNAL AND BRAKE LIGHTS WORK INTERMITTENTLY. DEALER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO CORRECT PROBLEM. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

THE BRAKE AND HAZARD LIGHTS DO NOT COME ON AT ALL MAKING DRIVERS ANY PASSENGERS VERY UNSAFE AND VULNERABLE TO REAR END CRASHES ON THE ROADWAY.*AK

VEHICLE STALLSAT ALL SPEEDS, SWITCHES INTO 4WD BY ITSELF,STRONG ELCTRICAL BURNING SMELL AFTER DRIVING.

JUST TO MAKE YOU AWARE, VEHICLE IS LEASED. I DROPPED IT OF AT THE LOCAL DEALER YESTERDAY RIGHT AFTER IT HAPPENED BUT I DO NOT KNOW WHEN THEY WILL LOOK AT IT. I WILL CONTACT CHEVY CUSTOMER SERVICE IN THE MORNING AS THEY ARE CLOSED ON THE WEEKEND.NO SAFETY DEFECT LISTED. *AK

MY 9 YEAR OLD SON UNBUCKLED THE LEFT REAR SEAT BELT (WHERE HE HAD BEEN SEATED) AFTER I PARKED THE VEHICLE IN MY DRIVEWAY. SOMEHOW HE BECAME ENTANGLED IN IT WHEN HE TURNED AROUND IN THE SEAT TO LOOK IN THE CARGO AREA. THE BELT BECAME WRAPPED AROUND HIS STOMACH AS HE STRUGGLED TO FREE HIMSELF, AND BECAUSE THE BELT WOULD NOT RELEASE, BUT KEPT GETTING TIGHTER AND TIGHTER, THERE WAS NO WAY TO GET HIM OUT OF IT . I HAD TO GET MY SEWING SCISSORS TO CUT HIM FREE AS THE BELT WOULDN'T GIVE US ANY SLACK, BUT KEPT REELING IN , GETTING TIGHTER AND TIGHTER. I'M CONCERNED THAT SOME CHILD MAY GET ONE OF THESE BELTS WRAPPED AROUND HIS NECK. ONCE THE UNBUCKLED BELT IS REELED IN, IT WON'T GIVE ANY SLACK UNTIL IT GOES ALL THE WAY IN. IF SOMEONE GETS ENTANGLED, AND THERE ISN'T A KNIFE OR SCISSORS HANDY, I'M AFRAID THERE WILL BE A FATALITY.*AK

VEHICLE RIDES HARD/ JUMPED UP AND DOWN, AND THERE IS A KNOCKING NOISES COMING FROM UNDERNEATH WITHIN SUSPENSION OF VEHICLE. DEALERSHIP TOLD HER THAT COIL SPRING INSULATED. INSULATED IS A RUBBER PIECE THAT SIT BY THE COILSPRING AND RUBS OFF. DEALERSHIP IS AWARE OF PROBLEM.*AK

BRAKE AND HAZARD LIGHT SWITCH FAILS. TWO KNOWN CASES. TECH SAYS ALL 2001'S WILL FAIL! NO RECALL???*AK

BRAKE LIGHTS WILL NOT WORK WHEN APPLYING BRAKES. BULBS AND FUSES ARE ALL OK, HAZARD FLASHER WHEN FLASHING CAUSES AN ELECTRICAL STATIC SOUND UNDER DASH AND WHEN WIGGLING THE HAZARD FLASHER SWITCH, BRAKE LIGHTS WILL WORK AND COME ON. I ALSO OWN A 1996 CHEVROLET BLAZER THAT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND WAS REPAIRED AT BOB HOOK CHEVROLET 09/07/99 INVOICE NO. 156312. VERY LITTLE CHANCE THAT I OWN TWO OF THE SAME VEHICLES FIVE YEARS APART AND SAME DEFECT HAPPENS TO BOTH. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BEFORE ACCIDENTS OCCUR BECAUSE THE VEHICLE BEHIND DIDN'T SEE VEHICLE IN FRONT STOP. I AM NOT ONLY CONCERNED ABOUT MY FAMILY BEING SAFE BUT FOR THE SAFETY OF OTHERS! WHY WOULD THE DEALER SERVICE SHOP TELL ME THAT THE PART WILL HAVE TO BE ORDERED AND THERE IS A NATIONAL BACK ORDER ON THAT PART BUT TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE? I HAVE CONTACTED GM. AND FILED A COMPLAINT # C05965366 AND THEY SAID; WE WILL DO THE BEST WE CAN TO GET THE PART SHIPPED. PLEASE HELP GET THIS DEFECT RECALLED SO POTENTIAL ACCIDENTS CAN BE AVOID. *AK

WHEN USING REGULAR OR MID-GRADE FUELS, GAS GAUGE HAS A TENDANCY NOT TO WORK CORRECTLY. *AK
