2001 CHEVROLET BLAZER Complaints

THE THEFT-DETERRENT ALARM GOES OFF FOR NO REASON WHEN PARKED AND LOCKED UP. THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE MOVES ERATICALLY, DOME LIGHTS AND FLOOR LIGHTS COME ON BY THEMSELF AND SOMETIME STAY ON FOR A LONG TIME AND SOMETIME CONSISTANTLY FLASH OFF AND ON, RADIO SHUTS OFF WHEN TURN ENGINE OFF(NOT SUPPOSE TO), AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON FOR A FEW DAYS THEN JUST WENT OFF. THE DEALER REPLACED THE BCM #9385236 BUT VEHICLE IS STILL NOT FIXED AFTER SEVERAL VISITS BACK TO DEALER.

BRAKE AND HAZARD LIGHTS WOULD INTERMITTENTLY FAIL TO OPERATE. VEHICLE BEEN INTO DEALER SHOP ON TWO OCCASIONS, AND PROBLEM STILL REOCCURRING. FEEL FREE TO PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION ON THIS MATTER.*AK

VEHICLE "SWAYS' WHEN DRIVING OVER 40 MPH... STEERING FEELS LOOSE. DEALER SAYS IT IS TYPICAL OF THE VEHICLE... CHEVROLET DENIES THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM AND WILL NOT COOPERATE WILL US. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE VEHICLE AND CHEVROLET WILL NOT LET ME OUT OF MY LEASE, SO I AM STUCK WITH IT.*AK

I WAS DRIVING ON A ROAD WHEN SOMEONE PULLED UP NEXT TO ME AND TOLD ME I DIDN'T HAVE BRAKE LIGHTS. ONLY THE SMALL TOP CENTER BRAKE LIGHT WAS WORKING. I WAS LUCKY THAT A STRANGER TOLD ME, I WOULD NEVER HAVE KNOWN THAT THEY WERE NOT FUNCTIONING. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS A SILENT RECALL. THEY HAD 3 OTHER VEHICLES IN THAT DAY WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM BECAUSE IF SOMEONE ISN'T PAYING COMPLETE ATTENTION THEY WILL NOT NOTICE THAT A BLAZER HAS STOPPED UNTIL IT IS TOO LATE. I FEEL THAT THERE SHOULD BE A PUBLIC RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. IT WAS A SIMPLE FIX (IT ONLY TOOK PART OF ONE DAY). ALL THEY HAD TO DO WAS PUT IN A NEW TURN SIGNAL LEVER. I THINK THAT ANY PROBLEM LIKE THIS SHOULD ALWAYS BE A PUBLIC RECALL, IT IS NOT FAIR THAT THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALERSHIP KNOWS ABOUT A PROBLEM AND DOES NOT TELL THE CONSUMER. I GUESS THEY WOULD HAVE TOLD ME HAD I GOTTEN INTO AN ACCIDENT. BUT THEN IT MAY HAVE BEEN TOO LATE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. JANET L. WERNER. *AK

FUEL INJECTOR WAS CLOGGED WHICH CAUSED VEHICLE TO STALL. CONTACTED DEALER, AND DEALER WAS NOT WILLING TO DO ANYTHING.*AK

WHENEVER FOOT WAS REMOVED FROM ACCELERATOR PEDAL VEHICLE FAILED TO SLOW DOWN WITHOUT DEPRESSING ON BRAKES. VEHICLE HAD MANUAL 4WD. SOMETIMES WOULD INCREASE DUE TO GRAVITY. HAD TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP 4 TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM, BUT IT WAS NOT RESOLVED.*AK CONSUMER STATES WHEN YOU TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE GAS, SENSORS DETECT ERROR SIGNALS, THAT CAUSE THE SYSTME TO INJECT MORE GAS AND AIR SO THE VEHICLE DOES NOT SLOW DOWN. *SLC

BRAKE LIGHTS ARE INOPERABLE. THE DEALER HAS INSPECTED VEHICLE AND DETERMINED THAT THERE IS A DEFECTIVE SWITCH IN STEERING COLUMN, CAUSING WIRES TO SHORT.*AK

WHEN APPLYING BRAKES PEDAL GOES TO FLOOR, CAUSING EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE, AND RESULTING IN A COLLISION. DEALER CANNOT IDENTIFY PROBLEM. PLEASE GIVE ANY FURTHER DETAILS.*AK
