DEALER STATED ON 9/26/200 THAT FUEL PUMP WAS FAULTY. REPLACED THIS...AUTO STILL DID NOT WORK. DEALER STATED MAYBE A FAULTY FUEL PUMP WAS SENT, ORDERED A 2ND, PUT THIS ONE IN. AGAIN, AUTO DID NOT RUN. AFTER THE 1ST ONE WAS INSTALLED, VEHICLE WAS RELEASED TO ME, 1.5 HOURS LATER, I WAS AGAIN STRANDED. DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS A CPI, SOMETHING WITHIN THE FUEL INJECTOR SYSTEM. THAT WAS REPLACED. IT WASN'T THE PROBLEM. THEY FINALLY STATED IT WAS 3 INJECTORS WITHIN THIS UNIT. THOSE WERE REPLACED AND MY VEHICLE RETURNED TO ME. AUTO WAS IN THE SHOP FROM 9/26/2000 UNTIL 10/10/2000. ON 10/12/2000, ON ROUTE 33 WESTBOUND, MY ACCERLERATOR STUCK, MY BRAKES DID NOT WORK, VEHICLE WAS DOING 95 MPH. I GAINED CONTROL OF VEHICLE AND GOT IT STOPPED. IT WAS TOWED FROM LOGAN, OHIO TO COLUMBUS WHERE I LEASED IT FROM. AS OF RIGHT NOW, IT'S DRIVEABLE, BUT NOT FIXED. THE DEALERSHIP DID SECURE THE CRUISE CONTROL CABLE AWAY FROM ACCERLERATOR SO THAT I COULD DRIVE IT. I HAD TO PAY FOR A RENTAL FROM 9/26/2000-10/10/2000. THEY REFUSED TO GIVE ME A LONER CAR OR RENTAL FROM THEM. I AM STILL AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS, I'VE HAD TOO MUCH BAD LUCK THE LAST FEW WEEKS WITH IT. I'M FIGHTING WITH GM TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THE RENTAL, TOTAL AMOUNT IS $533. I WOULD LIKE TO GET OUT OF THIS LEASE, HAVE MY LEASE TRANSFERRED TO SOMETHING ELSE. AS FAR AS I KNOW, THERE ARE NO RECALLS ON THE 1999 CHEVROLET BLAZERS, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE IS ANY. IT JUST SEEMS ITS FALLING APART ON ME!!*AK
