WHEN I BOUGHT IT THEY OUT A RELAY SWITCH SO THE AC WOULD BLOW COLD. HERES WHATMY MECHANIC FOUND WHAT WAS WRONG.A/C COMPRESSOR CLUTCH WAS DEFECTIVE AND THE A/C CLUTCH CONTROLRP RELAYWAS BYPASSED IMPROPERLY AND NOT FUSED WHICH COULD HAVE STARTED A FIRE. WHEN I WENT UP TO GET MY TITLE AND TAGS THE GUY WHO RUNS THE REPAIR SHOP WANTED TO KNOW WHAT I WANTED HIM TO DO ABOUT IT. THE OWNER WASNT THERE SO I LEFT A COPY OF MY INVOICE. HE WAS SUPPOSE TO CALL ME BUT HASN'T. THEY NEED TO BE CHECKED OUT. THERE DEAL IS IF SOMETHING BRAKES ON THE CAR THEY CAN GET CHEAP PARTS AND THEY CHARGE CHEAP LABOR. THIS ALSO HAPPENED TO OTHER PEOPLE AS I BEEN READING ON THERE REVIEWS.

THERE WAS A MANUFACTURER'S RECALL IN AUGUST 20, 1999 FOR 2000 CHEVY BLAZERS: THE BRAKE PIPE UNION FITTINGS THAT FEED THE VARIOUS BRAKE SYSTEM COMPONENTS MAY LEAK AND CAUSE A LOSS OF BRAKING FUNCTION AND NEED AN ADDITIONAL STOPPING TIME. DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE BRAKE PIPE UNION FOR SIGNS OF LEAKING BRAKE FLUID AND REPLACE THE UNION IF NECESSARY. OUR VEHICLE IS A 1999 BLAZER THAT APPEARS TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT CHEVROLET CLAIMS THERE WASN'T A RECALL ISSUED FOR OUR VEHICLE. WE THINK IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED. OUR VEHICLE DOESN'T STOP WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED, BUT NEEDS A LONGER STOPPING TIME AND DISTANCE. IT IS AN UNSAFE CONDITION. ORIGINAL RECALL FROM THE NHTSA MANUFACTURER'S REPORT DATE: AUGUST 20, 1999 NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 99V220000

1999 CHEVROLET BLAZER WITH A V6 ENGINE HAD A PREMATURE ENGINE FAILURE AT 87K MILES. A HAIR LINE CRACK WAS DISCOVERED IN A CYLINDER USING A DYE TEST. THE MACHINIST WHO INSPECTED THE ENGINE BELIEVES IT WAS CREATED AS THE RESULT OF THE CORROSIVE ACTION OF COOLANT USED BY GM. CHEVROLET SHOWED NO INTEREST IN INSPECTING THE ENGINE. WITHOUT THE AFOREMENTIONED, I INVESTIGATED MYSELF, AND CAN ONLY CONCLUDE THAT A HEAD BOLT WAS NOT PROPERLY SEALED DURING MANUFACTURING, ALLOWING COOLANT TO PENETRATE THE BOLT AREA AROUND THE REAR CYLINDER IN QUESTION. THIS CONDITION CREATED A WEAKENING OF THE CYLINDER WALL OVER TIME CAUSING THE CATASTROPHIC FAILURE. I'VE BEEN COMMUNICATING WITH CHEVROLET FOR OVER TWO YEARS WITH NO SUCCESS.
