1999 Chevrolet Blazer

I AM IN THE PROCESS OF HAVING MY TRANSMISSION REBUILT. MY BLAZER HAS <75,000 MILES, WITH NO LEAKS OR ANY INDICATION THERE WAS A PROBLEM. I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND HEARD A VERY LOUD THUMP. I GOT OUT TO SEE IF I RAN OVER SOMETHING (LIKE MY CAT), NOTHING WAS THERE SO I GOT BACK IN AND TRIED TO CONTINUE BACKING UP BUT THE BLAZER WOULD NOT MOVE. *JB

DT: THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE DOOR WAS FALLING OFF. THE WAY THE DOOR WAS DESIGNED MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR HINGE TO HOLD THE WEIGHT OF THE DOOR. THE DOOR WAS REPAIRED THREE TIMES BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER. EACH TIME IT WAS REPAIRED IT DID NOT LAST FOR MUCH MORE THAN A YEAR. CONSUMER HAD THE DEALERSHIP GIVE HER AN ESTIMATE. WHEN SHE CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER, THEY SAID THEY MIGHT DO SOMETHING FOR HER AFTER SHE HAD THE REPAIR DONE. THE CONSUMER FELT THIS WAS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT, AND THEY SHOULD PAY FOR THE REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT. THERE WERE OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE. THE SEAT DID NOT WORK. THERE WERE OTHER PARTS OF IT THAT EITHER BROKEN OR WERE BREAKING. *AK

WHILE GETTING OFF THE HIGHDWAY ABOUT SIX MONTHS AGO I HEAR A POP AND MY TRUCK STARTED TO SLIDE TO THE RIGHT ALMOST STRIKING THE DRIVER NEXT TO ME. I MANANGE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND GOT OUT,TO FIND OUT THAT MY LEFT FRONT WHEEL WAS HALF OFF.TOW TO THE SHOP AND FOUND OUT IT WAS TIE ROD FAILURE. SINCE THAT TIME I HAVE HSD TO HAVE THE SHORT SHAFT REPLACED,THE TIE ROD REPLACED AGAIN ON THE RIGHT SIDE. ALSO WHEN IT FIRST FAILED THEY ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE PART THAT CONTROL THE ABS ON THE LEFT SIDE. AND IT STILL WONT STAY IN ALIGNMENT.I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO NOTE THAT THE TRUCK AT THIS TIME HAS LESS THAN 90.000 MILES ON IT ,WHEN I PURCHASE IT HAD 40.000. THE TRUCK IS A 1999 CHEVY BLAZER, IN THE PAST I HAVE HAVE GOOD LUCK WITH CHEVY CARS, BUT I HAVE NEVER HAD THE PROBLEMS ITH ANY CAR I HAVE EVER HAD OVER THE PAST 27 YEARS. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED. I HAVE THE WORK PAPERS IN MY HOUSE AS WELL AS BEING ABLE TO OBTAIN THEM AGAIN FROM THE SHOP,SO THE DATE IS AN ESTIMATE. I AM WRITING THE NOW AS I PAST ANOTHER BLAZER ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY WITH IT LEFT WHEEL IN THE SAME CONDITON. I GUESS IT MAY BE BEST TO STAY OFF THE HIGHWAYS. I WAS JUST LUCKY I HAD JUST GOTTEN OFF WHEN MY WHEEL FAILED

CONSUMER STATED: BRAKES WERE SQUEAKING, SEEMED LIKE BRAKING DISTANCE WAS TWICE TO THREE TIMES TO STOP, SOMETIMES HAD TO PUSH ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, COULD FEEL BRAKE PEDAL GOING BACK AND FORTH. ALSO, WHILE DRIVING AND WHETHER USING BRAKES OR NOT ONE COULD HEAR A RATTLE OF NOISE. DEALER SAID CALIPERS WERE TOTALLY DEFECTIVE. REPLACED BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS *AK

1999 CHEVROLET S-10 BLAZER EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH SEAT RECLINER HANDLE ASSEMBLY. *MR THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT SEAT RECLINER HANDLE FAILED UNDER NORMAL USE. THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT SEAT RECLINER HANDLE SEEMED TO HAVE FALLEN OFF. THE POT METAL SPLINE SHAFT HAD BROKEN DUE TO THE SPLIT NOTCH IN THE SHAFT WHEN THE HANDLE ATTACHED. BOTH HANDLES WERE REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE. *SC *JB

I PURCHASED MY 1999 BLAZER "USED" IN 5/03, TWO MONTHS LATER THE WATER PUMP STARTED LEAKING HORRIBLY, HAD IT REPLACED. ANOTHER MONTH LATER IT COMPLETELY DIED ON MY IN THE MIDDLE OF MORNING RUSH HOUR, FOUND OUT THAT THE FUEL PUMP WAS COMPLETELY SHOT, AND THE BATTERY WAS NOT GOOD...AT THE SAME TIME. EARLY LAST MONTH I WAS TOLD THAT THE HIGH PRESSURE OIL LINES WERE LEAKING BADLY, AND ALSO THAT THE IDLER ARM ON THE FRONT RIGHT IS BAD. NOW AS I AM RESEARCHING THE CHEVY BLAZER MORE AND MORE, I'M FINDING OUT THAT MANY CONSUMERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS IN ALL MODELS. CHEVROLET SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR MANY OF THESE RECURRING PROBLEMS, AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE!*JB
