WINDSHIELD WIPERS ARE INTERMITTENT, IT WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND VERIFIED, HOWEVER, THIS VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL FOR THE 95 CHEVROLET BLAZER 2. ANTILOCK BRAKES WERE ALSO INSPECTED AND FOUND TO BE DEFECTIVE BY DEALERSHIP, BUT AGAIN THE VIN FOR THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL FOR THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES FOR 95 CHEVROLET BLAZERS. 3. PASSENGER SIDE REAR VIEW MIRROR HAS CRACKED AND BROKE OFF TWO TIMES. THE CRACKS ARE ORIGINATING ON THE UNDERSIDE OF THE MIRROR SUPPORT. AFTER SPEAKING WITH THE DEALERSHIP, THEY INDICATED TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR PARTS VEHICLE WHICH IS ALSO A 95 CHEVROLET BLAZER, AND I HAVE TALKED WITH TWO OTHER PEOPLE WHO OWN BLAZERS WHO HAD THE SAME DEFECT. I HAVE ALSO TRIED TO LOCATE A USED MIRROR IN JUNK YARDS, IN ALTUS OK, LUBBOCK, TX, AND VALDOSTA GA. NONE OF THE JUNK YARDS HAD ANY, THEY HAD THE VEHICLES BUT THE MIRRORS HAD ALREADY BEEN BOUGHT. THEY SECOND MIRROR I INSTALLED BROKE OFF AND WAS DANGLING BY THE WIRES WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 70MPH NEARLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT, AND NOT TO MENTION IT MADE IT DIFFICULT TO SEE DRIVERS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE WHILE CHANGING LANES.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: CERTAIN 4-WHEEL DRIVE PICKUP TRUCKS AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH ABS (ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEM) MANUFACTURED FROM SEPTEMBER 1989 THROUGH AUGUST 1996. UNDER CERTAIN DRIVING CONDITIONS THE SWITCH WHICH SIGNALS THE ABS SYSTEM WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS IN 2-WHEEL OR 4-WHEEL DRIVE CAN MALFUNCTION CAUSING INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCES DURING ABS STOPS WHILE IN THE TWO-WHEEL DRIVE MODE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THIS OCCURRED AT A TIME WHEN MINIMUM STOPPING DISTANCE WAS REQUIRED, A VEHICLE CRASH COULD OCCUR WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE OR REPAIR THE 4-WHEEL/2-WHEEL DRIVE SWITCH.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: LIGHT DUTY PICKUP TRUCKS AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, 2 AND 4-WHEEL DRIVE. SOLDER JOINTS NEAR THE WIRING HARNESS CONNECTOR CAN CRACK CAUSING THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS TO WORK INTERMITTENTLY.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS CONDITION CAN RESULT IN INOPERATIVE WIPERS, REDUCING A DRIVER'S VISIBILITY, AND INCREASING THE RISK OF A VEHICLE CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE WIPER MOTOR CIRCUIT BOARD AND COVER.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: EXTENDED CAB PICKUP TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH 60/40 FRONT BENCH SEATS AND EXTENDED CAB PICKUP TRUCKS AND 2-DOOR UTILITY VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH MANUAL LOCKING RECLINER BUCKET SEATS. THE OUTBOARD SAFETY BELT WEBBING ON THE DRIVER'S AND/OR PASSENGER'S SEAT CAN SEPARATE DURING A FRONTAL IMPACT.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF A SEPARATION OCCURRED AND THERE WERE SECONDARY CRASH EVENTS OR VEHICLE ROLLOVER, THERE WOULD BE NO BELT RESTRAINT OF THE OCCUPANT AND INCREASED INJURIES COULD OCCUR.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL A PROTECTIVE COVER OVER THE RECLINER MECHANISM.
THE INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT LOOSENS AT THE STEERING SHAFT TO STEERING GEAR COUPLING. WITH THIS LOOSENESS, THE YOKE PINCH BOLT CAN WEAR ON THE SPLINES OF THE SHAFT UNTIL THERE IS NO LONGER AN INTERFERENCE BETWEEN THE SPLINES AND THE BOLT.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS CONDITION CAN CAUSE BODY TO CHASSIS MOVEMENT ALLOWING THE STEERING SHAFT TO SEPARATE FROM THE STEERING GEAR WHICH CAN RESULT IN A LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL RETORQUE THE UPPER AND LOWER BOLTS TO CORRECT SPECIFICATIONS.
FAN BLADE RIVET BREAKAGE CAN OCCUR CAUSING THE FAN BLADE TO SEPARATE FROM THE SPIDER.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THIS OCCURRED WHILE THE HOOD WAS OPEN, A PERSON WORKING UNDER THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE OR IN THE VICINITY OF THE VEHICLE COULD BE STRUCK BY THE FAN BLADE AND INJURED.
