1993 Chevrolet Blazer Interior & seats Problems

Owner-reported complaints naming the interior system, filed with NHTSA

Data refreshed

Interior & seats reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

THE DOORS AND LOCKS ARE DEFECTIVE. I BOUGHT A NEW 1993 CHEV BLAZER. IN 1995 THE BACK STUCK AND WOULD NOT OPEN. I COULD OPEN THE WINDOW BUT COULD NOT OPEN THE DOOR. NEXT IN 1997 THE PASSENGER DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN ANY MORE. IT IS LOCKED AND WILL NOT UNLOCK. NOW THE DRIVER DOOR IS STICKING. OUT OF 5 DOORS ONLY 2 WORK CORRECTLY. A BASIC FEATURE SUCH AS DOORS BEING ABLE TO OPEN IN AN ACCIDENT IS A MAJOR CONCERN. *JB

THE PROBLEM THAT I AM HAVING IS ALREADY A RECALL IN THE 1993 AND 1994 CHEVY EXTENDED CAB PICKUPS THE SEAT CODE IN QUESTION IS A95 THERE IS A BOLT THAT BRAKES AND THE SEAT THEN RECLINES WITHOUT WARNING THIS HAPPENS DUE TO WEAR IN THE SEAT FRAME I BELIEVE, I HAVE PURCHASED THE REPAIR PARTS AND INSTALLED THEM AND NOW THE SEAT IS WORKING LOOSE AGAIN IT LOOKS LIKE THE FRAME IS WEAK AROUND THE BOLT HOLE, IF I RECALL CORRECTLY THE BULLITEN AT THE DEALER SAYS THAT IF THE REPAIR DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM THAT THE SEAT FRAME MAY NEED REPLACED. I PERSONALLY FEEL THAT GENERAL MOTORS ABDICATED THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO THE CONSUMER . I BELIEVE THAT THIS COMPANY SHOULD FOLLOW THROUGH WITH THESE RECALLS ON ALL VEHICHLES THAT COULD HAVE THIS POTENTIAL PROBLEM. MY 1993 CHEVY BLAZER HAS THE SAME SEAT CODE THAT IS OFFERED IN THE PICKUPS ,THE BLAZER,SURBURBAN, AND THE YUKON COULD ALSO HAVE THE SAME SEAT,AND POTENTIALLY THE SAME PROBLEMS.
