1998 CHEVROLET BLAZER Complaints

RIGHT TURN SIGNAL HAS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM THAT DEALER CANNOT DUPLICATE. FLASHER DOES NOT WORK SOMTIMES. CHEVROLET HAS BEEN CONTACTED. *AK

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE SHIFTED DOWN IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE FROM WHEEL DRIVE WHILE SITTING STILL. NLM

DEALER HAS BEEN VERY HELPFUL, HOWEVER SECOND SET OF LOWER BALL JOINTS ONLY LASTED 11,000 TO 12,000 MILES. WHEN GETTING THE VEHICLE ALIGNED I WAS TOLD THE PITMAN ARM AN IDLER ARM ARE WORN EXCESSIVELY. I AM BEING TOLD THAT THIS IS NOT A NORMAL OCCURRENCE. I AM CONCERNED WITH THE HIGH RATE OF WEAR ON THESE STEERING COMPONENTS. THE VEHICLE IS NOT "OFF ROADED". IT IS USED AS A COMMUTER VEHICLE BY MY WIFE. THE VEHICLE HAS THE ORIGINAL TIRES AND THE SUSPENSION HAS NOT BEEN ALTERED. AT THIS POINT MY DEALER HAS NOT YET BEEN ABLE TO INSPECT THE LATEST PROBLEM DUE TO SCHEDULING CONFLICTS I HAVE HAD, NOT THE DEALERS FAULT. I HAVE RECENTLY NOTIFIED CHEVROLET OF MY CONCERN, BUT HAVE NOT YET RECEIVED A RESPONSE FROM THEM. IS THIS A COMMON PROBLEM? I DO BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN.

WHILE CLEANING CAR CONSUMER NOTICED BUMPER PEELING, AND IT LOOKED LIKE ALUMINUM FOIL PEELING OFF BUMPER. *SLC

VEHICLE STARTED MAKING A CLUNKING NOISE COMING FROM UNDERNEATH HOOD. CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP, AND MECHANIC REPLACED ALL OFF UPPER BALL JOINTS. MECHANIC TOLD HER THAT IT SHOULDN'T HAPPEN AT 45000 MILES. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. *AK

THE GAS PEDAL CONSTANTLY STICKS. EVERYDAY, I HAVE TO REALLY PUSH ON THE PEDAL TO GET THE VEHICLE TO GO. ALSO, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS FLICKER ON AND OFF FOR NO REASON WHILE DRIVING. LAST, THE PASSENGER SIDE LEVER HAS BROKEN OFF THREE OR FOUR TIMES, WHICH HAS BEEN REPLACED, BUT IT STILL BREAKS OFF. NO OVERLY APPLIED PRESSURE HAS BEEN PUT ON IT AT ANY TIME.*AK

THROTTLE CONTROL DOES NOT SLOW ENGINE SPEED PROPERLY, DEALER SERVICE CAN NOT REPAIR. *AK

THE INTERIOR LIGHTS FLASH WHEN USING THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS.WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL DOES NOT WORK,AND THE CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT WORK.*AK

VEHICLE EXPERIENCED PROBLEM WITH OILY/ MUDDY SUBSTANCE GETTING INTO RADIATOR AND COOLANT RESERVIOR. COOLING SYSTEM WAS FLUSHED OUT ON TWO OCCASIONS, AND PROBLEM STILL REOCCURRING. DEALER/MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED AT THIS TIME. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO PROVIDE ANY FURTHER DETAILS ONTHIS MATTER. *AK

TURN SIGNAL CONTINUED TO CLICK AFTER TURN SIGNAL WAS SHUT OFF -- HAD TO GET MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH REPLACED. ON A RELATED NOTE, WINDSHIELD WIPERS CONTINUED TO RUN AFTER SHUT OFF. OCCASIONALLY THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STILL PERFORM ERRATICALLY WITH THE REPLACED MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH.
