1994 Chevrolet S10

GAS TANK RUSTED SEVERLY BECAUSE OF THE PLASTIC GAS TANK SHIELD HOLDING DIRT AND MOISTURE BETWEEN SHIELD AND TANK. THE TANK ONLY RUSTED WHERE THE SHIELD IS LOCATED. THE VEHICLE HAD SLIGHT FUEL SMELL UPON START-UP. APX 2 WEEKS LATER, THE FUEL TANK RUSTED TO THE POINT OF A MAJOR SPILL, OF APX 3 GALLONS UPON MOVEMENT OF VEHICLE. THIS IS A OBVIOUS SAFETY DEFECT. VERY UNSAFE. A RECALL IS NEEDED NOW. *AK!

THIS IS A COMMON FAILURE DUE TO A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. I HAVE DOCUMENTED PROOF OF IT ALONG WITH 20 TESTIMONIALS FROM BLAZER OWNERS AND AN ENGINEERS REPORT DETAILING THE PROBLEM. GM IS NOT ONLY REFUSING TO STAND BEHIND THE PROBLEM THEY'VE CREATED BUT ARE CHARGING UPWARDS OF $800.00 TO FIX IT. THIS PROBLEM CAUSES FUEL TO PASS THE CYLINDERS AND FILL THE OIL PAN WITH GAS TO THE POINT OF HAVING GAS LEAK OUT OF ALL OF THE OIL SEALS AND OUT OF THE ENGINE. THIS PROBLEM WILL CAUSE THE ENGINE NOT ONLY TO SIEZE BUT ALSO MAY RESULT IN ENGINE FIRE AND LOSS OF LIFE. GM'S STANCE ON THIS IS TO IGNOR CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS AND CHARGE A PREMIUM FOR THE REPAIR.

I JUST WANT TO KNOW ABOUT ANY RECALLS ON MY PICKUP TRUCK THE ONLY RECALL I HAVE HAD WAS THE FUEL TANK FILLER TUBE AND THEN I SEE THERE IS ALL KINDS OF RECALLS THAT I HAVEN'T BEEN NOTIFED ON. MY SEAT BELTS HAVEN'T WORKED RIGHT ABOUT THE LAST TWO YEARS. AND NOW MY BRAKES ARE NOT STOPPING OR DOING THE ANTILOCK THING. I ALSO OWN A 1996 PONT. GRANDAM GT AND I SEE IT TOO HAS LOTS OF RECALLS BUT I HAVEN'T BEEN NOTIFED ON IT EITHER. CAN YOU GIVE ME SOME INFORMATION ON THE RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLES. MY EMAIL ADDRESS IS AARHELB@BRIGHT.NET OR MY PHONE NUMBER IS (419) 289-2709. NOW I STARTING TO WORRY ABOUT THE SAFTEY OF MY FAMILY IN MY VEHICLES!!!!!*AK

FUEL PUMPS REPLACED OVER 5 TIMES, INJECTORS REPLACED 4 TIMES, COMPLAINED ABOUT ABS BRAKES FROM FIRST DAT OF OWNERSHIP, THEY DONT STOP THE VEHICLE IN A PANIC STOP, 2 ACCIDENTS DUE TO BRAKES!!! INJECTOR LINES WORN THROUGH BY RUBBING ON FUEL LINE UNDER PLENUM MULTIPLE TIMES CAUSES MAJOR FUEL LEAKAGE!! POSSIBLE FIRE HAZARD DEALER CONTACTED, CHEVROLET CONTTACTED. *AK

FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM---I AM VERY UPSET THAT I NOW NEED TO REPLACE AGAIN THE FUEL INJECTORS AND THE REGULATOR. I REPLCED IT THE FIRST TIME UNDER WARRANTY AT 49721 MILES. IT WAS HARD TO BELIEVE THAT IT WENT SO FAST. I WAS TOLD BY SEVERAL MECHANICS THAT THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN DDURING THE FIRST 125K OR NEVER. THIS IS A COSTLY REPAIR OF 800..00 OR MORE AND IT SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM FOR MANY WITH THIS VORTEC 6 CYL 4.3 L I WOULD LIKE SOME HELP IN TRYING TO GET THE MANUFACTURER GEN. MOTORS TO CHANGE THIS TYPE DESIGN AND TO HELP THE VITIMS OF THIS COSTLY REPAIR. ONCE IS TOO MUCH AND 2 TIMES IS REDICULOUS IN LESS THAN 75K. THE SECOND TIME WAS ONLY 25K FROM REPLACEMENT. THE ENGINE TAKES 4 TO 5 RETRIES TO START AND IT GETS PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. I HAVE HEARD MANY MECHANICS TALK ABOUT A POSSIBLE CLASS- ACTION SUIT IF CONSUMERS HAVE TO PUT UP WITH ALL THE COSTLY REPAIRS AND THE EGR VALVE IS ANOTHER PROBLEM WITH MANY. THE ABS SYTEM , I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS AT 31420. I FELT IT WAS PREMATURE. TH

ON-OING PROBLEM WITH VARIOUS PARTS: 1. WHENEVER VEHICLE RUNS ERRATICALLY IT CAUSES VEHICLE TO HAVE NO BRAKES ( FUEL INJECTORS HAVE BEEN REPLACED ON THREE OCCASIONS); 2. ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS ( REPLACED BATTERY ON SIX OCCASIONS), AND 3. FRONT SEAT WILL NOT STAY LOCKED IN PLACE, SEAT MOVED BACK AND FORTH. DEALER NOTIFIED, AND INFORMED CONSUMER THAT VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, AND REPAIRS WOULD ONLY BE AT CONSUMER'S COST. *AK

WE HAVE PAID NEARLY $1,000 FOR THESE REPAIRS. THERE ARE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS AND RECALL NOTICES FOR SOME OF THESE PROBLEMS. THE DEALER ADVISED US THAT THE EGR VALVE WAS "NORMAL WEAR & TEAR" EVEN THOUGH IT WENT OUT DURING THE WARRANTY PERIOD. THE FUEL INJECTOR WENT OUT 4 MONTHS AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. SEVERAL OTHER REPAIR SHOPS INDICATED THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM WITH THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE.
