1997 CHEVROLET BLAZER Complaints

WHILE DRIVING COULD FEEL VIBRATION FROM THE FRONT AND SLOWDOWN. TECHNICIAN HAD SAID THAT IT WAS CAUSED BY FUEL INJECTION FAILURE. *AK

THIS HAS BEEN TAKEN INTO THE SAME DEALER SEVERAL TIMES FOR BRAKE PROBLEMS WITHOUT ANY SATIFACTORY ANSWERS. THE LAST TIME WAS ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO WHEN I FINALLY GAVE UP AND HAVE BEEN LOOKING AT TRADING IT OFF IN THE NEAR FUTURE WHEN I CAN AFFORD TO. AT THE LAST EFFORT TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM WITH THE SERVICE MGR, HE TOLD ME THAT THE CARACTERISTICS OF THE BRAKE PEDAL SLOWLY GO TO THE FLOOR AT A STOP SIGN OR LITE IS NORMAL. HE SAID" THIS IS CAUSED BY THE BRAKE LINES EXPANDING" AND IS NORMAL WITH THE 97 BLAZERS. BRAKING PROBLEM STILL EXISTS TODAY.*AK

TRANSMISSION STARTED TO JERK WHEN GOING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR. TRIED TO CHECK THE TRANSMISISON FLUID BUT THE DIP STICK COULD NOT BE TAKEN OUT BECAUSE IT WAS ENTIRLEY RUSTED. THE WHOLE DIP STICK AND HOLDER IS RUSTED. THERE WAS A TSB PUT OUT BY GM BUT THEY WILL NOT PAY TO HAVE THIS FIXED. THEY STATED THEY FOUND SOMETHING ELSE WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION THAT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WILL HAVE TO COVER. MY SUSPISIONS ARE THAT THE RUST CAUSED THE PROBLEMS. DEALER STATED THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE DIP STICK AD DIP STICK HOLDER. STILL WAITING ON THE EXTENDED WARRANTY PEOPLE TO SEE IF THEY WILL COVER FIXING THE TRANSMISSION. SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING DUE TO A FAULTY TRANSMISSION DIP STICK HOLDER THAT RUSTS! *AK
