1999 Chevrolet Blazer

I HAVE A 1999 CHEVROLET BLAZER THAT IS VERY WELL MAINTAINED. I HAD TO REPLACE BOTH FRONT END WHEEL HUB BEARINGS BEFORE IT HAD 60,000 MILES ON IT. THERE MUST BE DEFECTIVE BEARINGS BEING PUT IN THESE VEHICLES. THERE IS NO WAY A WHEEL BEARING SHOULD WEAR OUT BEFORE 60,000 MILES. I WROTE TO CHEVROLET CORPORATE OFFICES & THEY TOLD ME THEY WERE SORRY BUT DIDN'T OFFER ANY COMPENSATION. I AM FILING THIS REPORT TO HELP OTHERS IN THE FUTURE. IT IS QUITE EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE WHEEL BEARINGS AND IF ENOUGH PEOPLE COMPLAIN MAYBE CHEVROLET WILL TAKE SOME RESPONSIBILITY FOR INSTALLING DEFECTIVE PARTS. *JB

FRONT WHEEL BEARING WENT BAD TO THE POINT OF MAKING NOISE AND WHEN WE TORE IT DOWN FOR REPAIRS, THE BEARING ON THE FT. RT. (2WD) THEIR WAS A LOT OF METAL SHAVINGS BEHIND BEARING. UPON A SEARCH OF SEVERAL PARTS STORES THE ONLY SOURCE WAS A DEALER ITEM. NO PROBLEM EXCEPT FOR THE 487.00 DOLLARS EACH, WE ONLY HAD TO REPLACE 1 BUT, THIS VEHICLE THATHAS ONLY 60,000 MILES AND 2 FT.WHEELS THIS COULD EASILY END UP BEING A 1000.00 FIX FOR FRONT BEARING. PS.BEARINGS FOR 4WD WERE ONLY $138.00. *AK

MY CAR HAS HAD TWO RECLINER MECHANIZMS BREAK IN 2 YEARS. MY SECURITY LIGHTS COME ON FOR NO REASON,MY PAINT IS CHECKING AND PEELING.NOW IT APPEARS THAT MY CONTROL ARM AND LOWER BALL JOINT WERE FAILING AT 85,000 MILES.*AK AT ABOUT 70,000 MILES MY 4WHEEL DRIVE WOULD SLIP IN AND OUT AT FREEWAY SPEED. I HAVE A 1999 CHEVY BLAZER,4DR, COMPLETELY MAINTAINED AND DRIVEN WITH CARE.

HAVE A 99 BLAZER,2 WD. THE RECLINER HANDLE BROKE OFF THE FIRST WEEK I OWNED IT( MY KID BROKE IT BY SIMPLY TOUCHING IT!) VEHICLE HAD 32000 MI AT THE TIME. HAVE NOT FIXED IT BECAUSE OF COST.SINCE THEN I HAVE DISCOVERED AN OIL LEAK ON THE OIL LINE COOLER,A $300 FIX(TO REPAIR BOTH LINES),AND TO TOP THINGS OFF I'M BEING TOLD THAT THE INTAKE GASKET HAS THE POTENTIAL OF GIVING WAY. I HAVE 58000MI ON THIS VEHICLE SO FAR. HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE S-10 BLAZER ARE NOTORIOUS FOR THESE PROBLEMS, AND SO FAR G.M. HAS NO RECALL ON ANY OF IT. INCENDENTLY A MECHANIC I KNOW HAS A S-10 BLAZER SIMILAR TO MINE, HIS OIL LINES LEAKED, AND FINALLY BLEW,COSTING HIM A NEW ENGINE. MINE HAVEN'T BLOWN -----YET. I CAN STILL DRIVE IT, BUT IT WORRIES ME. I'VE BEEN A G.M. FAN FOR MANY YRS. BUT THIS CRAZY BLAZER IS STARTING TO MAKE ME RECONSIDER WHAT MY NEXT VEHICLE WILL BE. CAN ANYTHING BE DONE ABOUT THIS????? THANKS. *AK
