1999 Chevrolet Blazer

2 MONTHS INTO OWNING THIS VEHICLE THE UPPER CONSOLE DIGITAL TEMPERATURE READ OUT WENT BAD. UPON REPLACING IT TWICE IT IS STILL MALFUNCTIONING. THEY HAVE EVEN REPLACED THE SENSOR ON THE FRONT GRILL TO NO AVAIL. AT ONE OIL CHANGE THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO ME WITH A CROOKED HOOD. THE LOCK ASSEMBLY HAD SLID OVER 1/2 INCH. IT CAUSED THE HOOD AND THE FENDER TO MEET AND THE TWO METALS SLAMMED TOGETHER CAUSED A SCRATCH ON BOTH PARTS IN THE PAINT. THE LOCK ASSEMBLY WAS RETURNED TO IT'S ORIGINAL POSITION. UPON INFORMING THE DEALER THAT THE VEHICLE WAS "SLIPPING" WHEN IN GEAR I WAS GIVEN A VERBAL DRIVING LESSON. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THE CHEVROLET S-10 BLAZER SINCE 1992 AND THIS IS THE 3RD ONE I HAVE AQUIRED. AFTER BRINGING IN A THIRD PARTY THE LOCKING DIFFERENTIAL, ALL FLUIDS, AND SEALS WERE REPLACED, THUS FIXING THE ISSUE. AT 4000 MILES MY ENGINE "BURNED OUT" 3 OF 6 FUEL INJECTORS WITH NO EXPLAINATION. I HAVE BEEN MADE AWARE OF SEVERAL OTHER VEHICLES OF THE SAME YEAR AND MODEL BEING BROUGHT IN FOR THE SAME ISSUES. THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER SMALL ISSUES, LITTLE BUTTONS FALLING OUT, COVER PLATES POPPING OUT OF PLACE, ETC. BUT YOU DO NOT HAVE A BOX FOR THESE ISSUES. THE OWNER OF THIS DEALERSHIP IS VERY AWARE OF THE ISSUES I HAVE COME ACROSS AS I HAVE BEEN A CUSTOMER OF THIS DEALERSHIP FOR 3 YEARS AND HAVE REMOVED 3 VEHICLES FROM THIS DEALERSHIP. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *AK

FUEL INJECTORS FOULED AND VEHICLE WOULD NOT RUN. ONE INJECTOR WAS REPLACED, OTHERS WERE CLEANED. DEALER STATED IT WAS BAD FUEL AND TO USE ONLY MOBIL GAS, CHEVRON WAS NO GOOD. CHEVRON WAS CONTACTED AND THEY SAID IT WAS A KNOWN DEFECT IN THE INJECTION SYSTEM. CHEVROLET WAS CONTACTED AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NO PROBLEM. FUEL MILEAGE STARTED GOING DOWN AFTER REPAIRS. CAR WAS AGAIN TOWED AT 8,900 MILES, DEALER STATED THAT IT WAS OUT OF FUEL, WHICH WOULD MEAN THE CAR IS NOW ONLY GETTING 10-MILES PER GALLON. DEALER STATED THAT THIS WAS OKAY AND THE COMPUTER WOULD TELL THEM IF ANYTHING WAS WRONG. NO SOLUTION OFFERED, NO TEST OTHER THAN CHECKING THE COMPUTER FOR CODES WAS PERFORMED. THIS DEALER STATED TO ONLY RUN SHELL GAS, ALL OTHERS PRESENT A PROBLEM. AGAIN, CHEVRON STATES THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE INJECTORS. THE EPA ALLOWS A CAR TO GET THIS KIND OF MILEAGE WITHOUT REPORTING IT TO THE PUBLIC?

MY BLAZER HAS STALLED REPEATEDLY DURING THE SIX MONTHS I HAVE OWNED IT. THERE APPEAR TO BE NO COMMONALITIES BETWEEN THE INCIDENTS. SOMETIMES IT'S IN AN INTERSECTION. AT OTHER TIMES I'M DRIVING. AT OTHER TIMES I AM SITTING IN PARK. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD, AND MY DEALERSHIP HAS STILL NOT ISOLATED THE PROBLEM, ALTHOUGH IT HAS ALREADY BEEN IN AT LEAST FOUR TIMES FOR THIS. THEY DID REPLACE A FUEL PUMP THE LAST TIME, BUT THAT APPARENTLY WASN'T THE PROBLEM.
