1998 Chevrolet Blazer

WHILE DRIVING CONSUMER WAS STOPPED BY POLICE DUE TO THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE AND PASSENGER'S SIDE BRAKE LIGHTS AND HAZARD LIGHTS BEING OUT. CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION MECHANIC INFORMED THE DRIVER THAT THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT ON A RECALL. CONSUMER HAD TO PAY FOR REPAIRS. *AK THE CONSUMER STATED THAT THE LOWER BRAKE LIGHTS WERE IN-OPERATIVE. *TC

I RECENTLY HAD TO REPLACE THE BALL JOINTS AND IDLER ARM ON MY 1998 CHEVROLET BLAZER. I WAS ADVISED BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THIS IS A CONSTANT PROBLEM. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THAT IF THE MANUFACTURER KNOWS THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING COMPONENTS BECOMING DEFECTIVE, THEN WHY DON'T THEY SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS THE THIRD SET OF BALLJOINTS THAT HAVE NEEDED TO BE INSTALEDL ON THE VEHICLE. THE FIRST SET ALONG WITH THE PITMAN ARM WENT DEFECTIVE AT 29,000 MILES AND THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THEM UNDER THE MANUFACTURES WARRANTY.

VEHICLE PULLS TO THE RIGHT WITH VIOLENT VIBRATION WHEN GOING OVER 45 MPH. HAVE REPLACED THE BALL JOINTS, NEW TIRES AND HAD VEHICLE ALIGNED 2 TIMES. TWO SHOPS STATED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING MORE THEY COULD DO. BOTH FOUND THAT THE WHEEL BASE WAS OFF. THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY VEHICLE IS 1/4" SHORTER THAN THE LEFT. HAD VEHICLE INSPECTED TO SEE IF IT HAD BEEN WRECKED. TWO BODY SHOPS STATED THAT THERE WAS NO VISUAL SIGNS OF A WRECK. THE CARFAX REPORT CAME BACK THAT THERE HAD BEEN NO WRECKS. BODY SHOPS ALSO STATED THAT PUTTING THE VEHICLE ON A FRAME PULLER WOULD NOT HELP BECAUSE AFTER TAKING IT OFF THE FRAME WOULD MOST LIKELY GO BACK TO THE WAY IT WAS. WENT AHEAD AND TRIED AND THE WERE BOTH RIGHT. HAVE SPENT TOO MUCH MONEY TRYING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND AM IN THE PROCESS OF SPEAKING WITH CHEVROLET HEADQUARTERS. ANY IDEA ON WHAT TO DO? THINKING OF CONTACTING MY LAWYER.*AK

AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE THE DEALER COULD NOT GET BOTH SIDES OF THE BACK SEATS TO LAY FLAT ONLY THE RIGHT SIDE. ANOTHER COMPLAINT IS I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE SHOP BECAUSE IT SOUNDED LIKE THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE WAS WARPED AND WHEN THE MECHANIC DID THE DIAGNOSIS OF THE FRONT THE HUB ASSEMBLY HAD TO BE REPLACED. I WAS WONDERING IF ANY COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN MADE OR IS THERE PENDING RECALLS FOR THESE. *AK

AFTER PURCHASE FROM DEALER WE NOTICED THE WIPERS WOULD NOT STOP IN THE OFF POSITION BUT THEY WORKED FULL-TIME. ABOUT 5 MONTHS AGO THEY PROCEEDED TO WORK INTERMITINLY AND WE COULD SOMETIMES GET THEM STARTED BY RAISING THE ARMS UP AND DOWN MANUALLY AND NOW THEY BARELY WORK AT ALL. LAST INCIDENT WE WERE IN A DOWNPOUR AND THEY WON'T COME ON AT ALL EVEN IF WE TRY MOVING THE BLADES UP AND DOWN WITH OUR HANDS.SINCE THAT TIME, ONCE AGAIN WE CAN SOMETIMES GET THEM TO MOVE. THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IN OUR OPINION.*AK
