My wife was in danger driving the truck when she brought it to another route (another shop), which was hutchens chevrolet. they told my wife and gave her the paper work stating that, the truck was unsafe and she could have been in danger if continued driving it. when he was told of the brake problems, (the car dealership owner) he instructed my wife to take it to his own auto repair shop, when my wife got the truck back, it was in the same state not everything was fixed. the work was completed at hutchens. the work had to have cost about $378.00. and there are more troubles with the truck, i see signs of rust and corrosion, there are vibrations when the vehicle is in excess of 60 miles. | |||

My wife and i have had to make major repairs to our 1998 blazer. we had to replace the water pump ($294.55) in october 2002. then, the transmission started slipping and got worse. we took it to aamco, where we were informed that it had to be rebuilt. this was in july of 2002. the total cost was ($2077.37). i inquired that same month at chevrolet about recalls, and they said that there were none. since then, we have had numerous minor problems with the lame suv, including broken recliner handles, steering that pulls and grinds, and a malfunctioning electrical system (clicking sounds from under the glove box, three batteries replaced). i saw a report last week about the use of dexcool and its possible link to problems in gm vehicles. are there any remedies available at this time? *ak | |||

Vehicle's trans started slipping at 45mph. when stopped, i found out i had no reverse with all other forward gears slipping to where it is undriveable. vehicle has high highway mileage, rarely was the 4 wheel drive used, and is on lease for $440 a month for another year. i know a few other people who have experienced the same transmission problems on newer blazers with lower milage (still under warranty) that were repaired. it seems odd that the same problem occured to a few people i talked to, and makes me wonder how many more problem transes are out there. what should i do??? | |||

Vehicle burned over 9 qts of oil in 3-4 months. first noticed 12/98, dealer began checking and testing. finally, in april - may 1999, it was determined that vehicle was burning about 1 qt every 300-400 miles. they finally agreed to replace entire engine because they could not locate source of problem. the night before carrying it for service, vehicle lost transmission power. the dealer had to tow the vehicle in the next day. at this time, they not only replaced the engine, but also the entire drive train/transmission system. they still have no idea what caused the failures on such a new vehicle. i tried to get a replacement vehicle since the first failure was around 5,000 miles, but the gm representative refused and only offered to replace the engine and transmission. i don't think i'll ever fully trust my vehicle now, but can't afford to trade at the moment. *ak | |||

I discovered a leak from the truck and noticed the rear hatch of the truck was covered by an oily substance, when i parked the car my garage filled with smoke. i brought the car to the service station i always use for my blazer (not the dealer). as soon as they looked at the blazer they said i was very lucky i didn't have a fire, it was transmission fluid that leaked from a defective transmission fluid line. the connector from the transmission to the transmission line was defective. since the blazer is 1700 miles over warranty, chevy would not give me any satisfaction. the service station said the blazer was not drivable and very dangerous. i have had the blazer repaired and for a simple connector (because of where the connection is) is was $237.00 to repair.*ak | |||

The vehicle would occasionally shift into four wheel drive without the driver pushing the transfer buttons, sometimes it went into four wheel high and sometimes four wheel low, the consumer first thought he was accidentally hitting the button with his fist while shifting from drive to reverse, the dealer has been unable to duplicate and repair the problem. nlm | |||
