2003 Chevrolet Blazer

WHILE PULLING INSIDE OF THE GARAGE DRIVER APPLIED THE BRAKES AND PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. CONSUMER WAS NOT ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL THE VEHICLE. THIS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO HIT THE DOOR OF THE GARAGE. CONSUMER DROVE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION, AND MECHANIC COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. CONSUMER INFORMED THE MECHANIC THAT THE PROBLEM RECURRED. *AK

I OPENED THE DRIVERS DOOR ON MY 2003 CHEVROLET BLAZER WITH ONLY 13,000 MILES AND THE DOOR DROPPED DOWN IN MY HANDS. THE PINS THAT HOLD THE DOOR HINGE HAD PARTLY LIFTED OUT. IT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN OUT OF THE QUESTION FOR THE PIN TO HAVE FALLEN OUT COMPLETLY IN WHICH CASE THE HINGE WOULD HAVE COME COMPLETELY APART AND THE DOOR WOULD HAVE FALLEN OFF THE VEHICLE. WHEN I CALLED THE CHEVY DEALER THEY WERE WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. APPARENTLY THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME WITH S10 PICKIUPS AND BLAZERS. ASIDE FROM THE FRUSTRATION OF SUCH A SHODDY DESIGN I AM AFRAID TO THINK OF THE EFFECT OF SUCH A FAILURE AT 65 MPH OR OF A DOOR COMING OFF IN AN ACCIDENT AS A RESULT OF FAULTY HINGES. *AK

THE WAS A SENSOR ON THE DASH WHICH CONTROLLED THE HEADLIGHTS. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER A TREE OR IN THE GARAGE, THE HEADLIGHTS WENT DIM. THE DEALER STATED THERE WAS A CODE TO OVER RIDE THE SYSTEM. THE DEALERS HAD NO ACCESS TO THE CODE. *JB THE SENSOR ON THE DASH TURNED DOWN THE DASH LIGHTS WHICH MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO READ THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. AT DUSK THE HIGH BEAMS CAME ON WITHOUT THE DRIVER'S KNOWLEDGE. THE CONSUMER IS LOOKING FOR THE CODE THAT WILL ALLOW THE LIGHT TO OPERATE MANUALLY. *NM

WHILE DRIVING 36 MPH GOING AROUND CURB, THE STEERING WHEEL FAILED TO RESPOND AND REMAINED IN THE SAME POSITION. THIS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO VEER TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND RESULTED IN A HEAD ON COLLISION. NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE MANUFACTURER OF GMC SENT AN ENGINEER TO SEE THE VEHICLE AND DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE STEERING. GMC DENIED THE REPORT ISSUED BY THE TECHNICIAN ON THIS ACCIDENT. PLEASE PROVIDE DETAILS. *JB

I HAVE A 02 BLAZER AND I BELIEVE THE FUEL GAUGE IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. AFTER I HAVE GONE ONLY ABOUT 40 MILES ON A FULL TANK OF GAS THE GAUGE SHOWS ? FULL. CAN THAT BE CORRECT? IN THE OWNER?S MANUAL IT STATES THAT I AM TO HAVE AN 18-GALLON FUEL TANK. WITH AN AVERAGE OF 20 MPG ON THE HIGHWAY IT SHOULD GO TO ? TANK AT ABOUT 90 MILES.

GENERAL MOTORS HAS BEEN PUTTING DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS ON MOST OF THEIR VEHICLES THAT ARE TOO BRIGHT. THESE LIGHTS ARE SO BRIGHT THAT ONE TENDS TO TURN ONE'S HEAD AWAY OR SHIELD THE EYES WHEN APPROACHED BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THESE LIGHTS CAN CAUSE DISTRACTION SERIOUS ENOUGH TO MAKE A PERSON IGNORE SITUATIONS THAT CAN BE DANGEROUS. THE EXTRA GLARE FROM THESE LIGHTS CAUSES EXTRA EFFORT TO BE PUT INTO THE DRIVING OF A VEHICLE.ALSO OF IMPORTANCE IS THE SUBJECT OF THE UNNECESSARY USE OF FOG LIGHTS. MOST OF THESE LIGHTS ARE SO BRIGHT THAT THEY CAUSE MOMENTARY BLINDNESS IF VIEWED DIRECTLY DURING NIGHTTIME DRIVING.*AK
