1999 Chevrolet Blazer

MY 1999 CHEVROLET BLAZER'S DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW HAS QUIT WORKING. CHEVROLET ALREADY REPLACED THE WINDOW ONCE, IN 2001, AND REFUSED TO REPLACE IT AGAIN. NOW THAT THE WINDOW HAS QUIT WORKING I GET ELECTRICALLY SHOCKED WHEN GETTING OUT OF THE CAR AND TOUCHING THE METAL ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE CAR. THIS HAPPENED BEFORE WHEN THE WINDOW BROKE. THIS HAPPENS EVERYTIME I DRIVE MY CAR. I BELIEVE THERE IS A SERIOUS ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. A FRIEND HAS THE SAME PROBLEM WITH HIS S-10 BLAZER. THESE ELECTRICAL SHOCKS HURT, AND I FEAR THAT IT MAY CAUSE A PROBLEM WHEN I AM GETTING FUEL FOR THE CAR. ON ONE OCCASION THE SHOCK WAS SO STRONG IT GAVE MY FINGER A BLISTER. MY WIFE ALSO HAS BEEN SHOCKED BY THIS PROBLEM, AND REFUSES TO DRIVE MY CAR. PLEASE CHECK INTO THIS, I FEEL YOU WILL FIND THAT THIS ELECTRICAL PROBLEM OCCURS IN OTHER VEHICLES LIKE MINE. IT IS DANGEROUS, AND I WOULD LIKE IT FIXED. THANK YOU.*AK

AC DELCO BATTERY ON A 1999 CHEVROLET BLAZER FAILED IN 21 MONTHS - LEAKING BATTERY ACID FROM ONE OF THE SIDE TERMINALS. THE EXACT SAME FAILURE OCCURRED ON THIS VBEHICLE ON 12/3/01. THE SAME BATTERY ON THIS VEHICLE ALSO FAILED ABOUT 10 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE BUT ACTUAL CAUSE OF FAILURE IS UNKNOWN. SERVICE MANANGER AT CHEVY DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT AC DELCO HAD SENT REPRESENTAIVES AROUND TO FIND OUT WHY THEY WERE HAVING SO MANY FAILURES OF THIS TYPE WITH THESE BATTERIES. SAID IT IS RELATED TO HEAT AND ONLY HAPPENS IN SOUTHERN STATES WHERE IT GETS HOTTEST. AC DELCO CUSTOMER SERVICE ADMITS NOTHING OF THIS SORT AND ALWAYS BLAMES THESE FAILURES ON OVERTIGHTENING THE CONNECTIONS TO THE TERMINALS. THE SAFETY ISSUE IS CAUSED BY THIS LEAKING BATTERY ACID AND WHAT IT WILL EAT INTO AND WHAT KIND OF PROBLEMS IT WILL CAUSE. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO ID THE PROBLEM AND CLEAN UP THE ACID BEFORE MORE SERIOUS PROBLEMS DEVELOPED.

HORN CONTINUOUSLY FAILS TO WORK. 1ST REPAIR ON 8/22 - 2ND ON 11/7. THEY TELL ME EACH TIME THEY HAVE TO RECONNECT WIRES IN STEERING WHEEL. THE 3RD FIX WILL COST ME ~$379.00 (THEY SAID THEY WILL NOT FIX IT AGAIN FREE - I WILL HAVE TO REPLACE WHEEL & COLUMN) WHY DO THE WIRES KEEP COMING UNCONNECTED? IT'S BAD TO PRESS THE HORN AND IT DOES NOT WORK.*AK

REGARDING COMPLAINT ON BATTERY: AT 26,000 MILES THE ORIGINAL BATTERY WAS REPLACED. THE REPLACEMENT BATTERY BEGAN LEAKING AT APPROX. 38000 MILES; HOWEVER, BATTERY DID NOT FAIL UNTIL 39000 MILES. DEALER SAYS SINCE BATTERY WAS REPLACED IN 36000 MILE PERIOD, THE REPLACEMENT BATTERY CARRIES NO WARRANTY. THIS DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. REGARDING HANDLES TO RECLINE SEAT BACK: THEY BOTH BROKE OFF WHERE CONNECTED TO CHAIR. SOFT METAL USED. THERE WAS NO HEAVY USAGE OR FOCE APPLIED. I FEEL THAT GM IS USING INFERIOR PARTS AND MATERIALS AND SEEK ASSISTANCE.*AK
