1996 CHEVROLET BLAZER Complaints

ABS FAILED, BRAKES LOCKED UP AND THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY THE VEHICLE SKIDDED TROUGH A STOP SIGN STRIKING ANOTHER VEHICLE

CONSUMERS VEHICLE EXHIBITS THE SYMPTOM OF THE WINDSHIELD WIPER RECALL (98V-150) BUT IS NOT INCLUDED DUE TO VIN. NLM

THE POSITIVE BATTERY CABLE OF THE AC DELCO BATTERY WAS LEAKING ACID, CONSUMER DISCONNECTED THE NEGATIVE TERMINAL AND ACID FLOWED OUT, THE LEAKING ACID DETERIORATED THE WIRING HARNESS. NLM

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSATE WITH MY 8 MONTH OLD BABY DURING A RAIN STORM AND THE WIPERS JUST QUIT, THEN STARTED BACK AND QUIT AGAIN. THERE WASN'T A CONVENIENT PLACE TO PULL OVER, AND IT ENDED UP RAINING ALL DAY, I COULDN'T JUST SIT THERE AND WAIT FOR THE RAIN TO STOP. THIS IS HAPPENING EVERYTIME IT RAINS, AND I HAVE TRIED TO GET INFORMATION ON A RECALL BUT EVERYONE TELLS ME THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, WELL, IT SHOULD BE!!

RADIATOR/HTR CORE CLOGGED UP, DEALER CLAIMED NOT CHANGED FLUID BUT IS A 100,000 MILE SVC. PER OWNERS MANUAL, ONLY HAD 60K MILES ON IT. $1,700 REPAIR NOT CVRD. BY EXTENDED WARRANTY EITHER.

SOMETIMES WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL OPERATE AND SOMETIMES WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL NOT. WAS TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP. OWNER WAS TOLD BY DEALERSHIP THAT RECALL CAMPAIGN # 98V150001 DID NOT APPLY TO THIS VEHICLE DUE TO VIN. PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED.*AK

ENGINE COOLANT HAS TURNED INTO MUD. A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN HAS BEEN ISSUED.*AK

WHILE DRIVING, W/O WARNING RIGHT FRONT END COLLAPSED. APPEARS TO BE FAILED UPPER BALL JOINT. HAD REGULARLY LUBED EVERY 3K MILES. ALSO DAMAGED FRONT RIM BY TEARING AWAY METAL. VERY LUCKY MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER WERE NOT AT FULL SPEED.*AK

I HAVE 2 RECALLS AND I WOULD NEED TO PAY FOR MY OWN TRANSPORTATION TO AND FROM THE DEALERSHIP... I DON'T THINK THIS IS FAIR AS I DIDN'T ASK FOR THE 2 RECALLS... NO SAFETY DEFECT MENTIONED. *AK

THE FIRST FAILURE OF THE ABS SYSTEM OCCURED ABOUT 1 WEEK AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN JANUARY OF 1999. MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND TRIED TO STOP ON THE ICE AND SNOW TO AVOID HITTING A STOPPED CAR IN FRONT OF HER AND THE BRAKED FAILED TO STOP HER AND SHE HIT A BUS STOP POLE. I PERSONALLY HAVE HAD 2 MORE FAILURES OF THE BRAKES GOING FROM ASHPHALT ON TO DIRT AND THE BRAKES WOULD ONLY ALLOW ABOUT 10% OF THE FULL PEDDLE. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE IS ANY WAY I CAN COLLECT DAMAGES FROM GENERAL MOTORS TO COVER THE REPAIRS ON THE VEHICLE SINCE THE PROBLEM WAS OBVIOUSLY THERE F AULT!! *AK
