THE HANDLE THAT ALLOWS YOU TO RECLINE THE SEAT BROKE OFF FLUSHED WITH THE SEAT, THIS HAPPENED TO BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEATS IN JUNE 2005. THE HOOD WILL NOT POP UP WHEN THE LEVER WAS PULLED UNTIL ONE BANGED ON THE GRILL OR THE HOOD IN CERTAIN SPOTS, WHICH JUST STARTED IN MARCH OF 2007. THE GAS MILEAGE DROPPED FROM 20 MPG TO 16 MPG WITHIN 6 MONTHS. THE BACK GLASS STUCK AND WAS HARD TO OPEN, STARTED IN 2006. WHEN TURNING ON THE AIR CONDITIONER (A/C ) THE CAR HAD NO POWER, I HAVE TO TURN IT OFF WHEN ACCELERATING ON THE INTERSTATE OR ON HILLS. IF THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS SET IT KICKED OFF WHEN THE A/C WAS ON. WHEN I NEEDED TO STOP QUICKLY THE BRAKES FAILED, AND FELT A GRINDING SENSATION THROUGH THE PEDAL, BUT THE MECHANIC CHANGED THE BRAKES AND CHECKED THE ROTORS, BUT HASN'T FOUND ANY PROBLEM. SUSPECTED A DEFECT SOMEWHERE IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM\ AS OF 2005. THE FAN KICKED ON ALL THE TIME, EVEN WHEN THE ENGINE WAS COLD, AND IN WINTER WHEN FIRST STARTING. ONE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT IN MANY BLAZERS THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER BROKE OFF IN THE MUFFLER, WHICH HAD TO BE REPLACED. HAD BEEN TOLD THIS HAPPENED SO MUCH THAT MOST PEOPLE LEFT THEM OFF. TOO MANY OTHER PROBLEMS TO MENTIONED. ALSO, THE HORN WORKED ONLY WHEN IT WANTED TO, PROBLEM IN THE STEERING WHEEL. *AK
