ON MAY 12,2001 WHILE DRIVING WESTBOUND ON I-290, A CAR IN THE LEFT LANE CUT ME OFF. I SWERVED MY SUV TO THE RIGHT TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT, AND THE TRUCK LOST CONTROL, TIP OVER ON THE DRIVER SIDE AND STARTED TO ROLLOVER. THE CAR STOPPED ON ITS TOP(ROOF). I HAD TAKEN THE CAR INTO THE DEALER SHIP ON 4/5/01 TO REPAIR THE STABILIZER LINKS/BUSHING, AND ON 4/10/01 THE REAR SPRINGS HAD TO BE RESEATED. I ONLY HAD THIS TRUCK FOR 2.5 MONTHS.*AK

PERIODICALLY WHEN BRAKE PEDAL WAS PRESSED BRAKES WOULD HIT FLOOR WITHOUT VEHICLE STOPPING. WHEN BRAKE PEDAL WAS RELIEVED, VEHICLE WOULD COME TO AN AUTOMATIC STOP REGARDLESS OF SPEED OF VEHICLE. THIS PROBLEM HAS CAUSED MINOR INJURIES TO CONSUMER. DEALER HAS NOT IDENTIFIED PROBLEM.*AK

I PURCHACED THIS VEHICLE DECEMBER 04, 2000 AND WAS CONFIDENT THAT I WAS BUYING A SAFE VEHICLE WITH A GOOD HISTORY.2 MONTHS AND LESS THAN 3800 MILES INTO SERVICE THE POWER STEERING FAILED. AFTER BEING TOWED TO A LOCAL CHEVY DEALER I WAS TOLD THE HOSE JUST FELL OFF. THEY SAID IT WAS REPAIRED AND I WAS ON MY WAY. LESS THAN 10 MILES DOWN THE ROAD IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THE SHAFT SNAPPED AND THE POWER STEERING PUMP WAS REPLACED. MY CONCERN IS THAT WHAT IF I HAD BEEN DRIVING AT A HIGHER SPEED OR IN AN OFF-ROAD ENVIRONMENT? ALSO, THE REPAIR MAN SAID HE HAS SEEN THIS HAPPEN TO THREE OTHER BLAZERS. PERHAPS THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AS A DESIGN FLAW?
