1999 Chevrolet Blazer Problems

I AM SHOCKED TO FIND OUT THAT THERE ARE SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE ABS BRAKES AND THE FRONT END BALL JOINTS. I AM ACTUALLY AFRAID TO DRIVE MY BLAZER AFTER READING ABOUT THE PROBLEMS. I LIVE IN A SMALL TOWN IN THE MOUNTAINS AND HAVE TO DRIVE MOUNTAIN ROADS AND ALONG A RIVER TO GET TO A BIGGER CITY. I AVERAGE ABOUT ONCE A MONTH THIS TRIP AND IF I MY BLAZER WAS TO HAVE A WHEEL FALL OFF BECAUSE OF A BAD BALL JOINT SYSTEM I AND MAYBE OTHERS WOULD BE DEAD OR SERIOUSLY HURT. I HAVE OVER THE YEARS REPLACED MY BALL JOINTS SEVERAL TIMES AS THEY KEEP GOING BAD, MUCH MORE THAN JUST NORMAL WEAR IT APPEARS. I ALSO HAVE FOR THE LAST 6 MONTHS OR SO HAVE HAD THE ABS LIGHT COME ON AND THE ABS BRAKES COME INTO PLAY WHEN SLOWING DOWN OR COMING TO A STOP ON DRY ROADS. THERE ARE TIMES THE LIGHT IS ON WHEN I FIRST START MY BLAZER AND HAVEN'T EVEN MOVED YET. A MECHANIC THAT LOOKED AT IT SAID THAT IT APPEARED THAT THE SENSOR WOULD NEED REPLACING. I DID NOT HAVE IT DONE AS IT WAS GOING TO BE SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS FOR THE REPAIR. WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO HAVE A RECALL? HOW CAN PEOPLE TELL YOU OF THE PROBLEMS THEY TOO ARE HAVING, WHEN THESE PROBLEMS ARE NOT PUBLICLY ANNOUNCED AND THEY HAVE NO IDEA THAT IT IS NOT JUST THEIR VEHICLE. LIKE ME, I HAD NO IDEA THERE WERE THESE PROBLEMS GOING ON FOR OTHER PEOPLE TOO. LIKE I SAID I NOW AM AFRAID ABOUT HAVING A MAJOR ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THE BALL JOINT/SUSPENSION PROBLEM THAT IS TALKED ABOUT ON THIS WEBSITE. I CAN NOT AFFORD TO BUY A NEW VEHICLE. CAN'T WE GET HELP BEFORE SOMEONE HAS TO BE HURT OR KILLED? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 CHEVROLET BLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC FOR AN UNRELATED ISSUE WHEN THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT THE BALL JOINTS WOULD NEED REPLACING. THE BALL JOINTS WERE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE 55,000.

THE ABS SYSTEMM IS NOT WORKING AND THE IS A SHORT IN THE FRONT END,..CAUSING THE BATTERY TO DIE. AMAZINGLY AFTER THE BATTERY WAS REMOVED FROM THE VEHICLE THE LIGHTS ON THE BUMPER THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO LIGHT UP THE LICENESS PLATE WAS STILL ON. LONG WITH OTHER LIGHTS UNDER THE HOOD. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE.,,UNLESS THERE IS AN ALTERNATE POWER SOURCE THAT I WAS NEVER MADE AWARE OF. THE IS POLICE DOCUMITATON ON THIS.

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.

SEATING AT RED LIGHT WHEN LADY THOUGHT IT TURNED GREEN REARENDED US MY NECK WENT OVER HEAD REST AND NEEDED NECK SURGERY. *TR

MY MECHANIC SAID THAT THE DOOR LATCH CAN BREAK BECAUSE OF THE DOOR HINGES OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT BECAUSE THE DOOR DOES NOT CLOSE EASILY AND YOU CAN SEE WHERE THERE IS DAMAGE TO THE LATCH ON THE DOOR JAM. *TR

THE BRAKE LIGHT AND TURN SIGNAL DON'T WORK ON UNTIL YOU MOVE THE TURN SIGNAL SWITCH DOWN FOR THE LEFT SIDE TO WORK THEN IT WORKS FOR A BRIEF MOMENT.

THIS JUST STARTED ONE DAY WHEN WE WERE COMING BACK INTO TOWN. THE CAR HAS NEVER BEEN CRASHED. IF YOU DRIVE AROUND TOWN I DRIVES FINE BUT ONCE YOU ACCELERATE ABOVE 55 MPH SOMETHING CAUSES THE TRANSMISSION TO SLIP FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR. AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR THE TRANSMISSION WILL WORK FINE. I KNOW ANOTHER PERSON WHOSE CHEVY BLAZER DID THE SAME THING. *TR

I PURCHASED A 1999 CHEVROLET S10 BLAZER IN MARCH 2002. SINCE THEN, I HAVE REPLACED A FRONT END, A REAR END AND A TRANSMISSION. NOW I HAVE TO REPLACE THE REAR END AGAIN. I HAVE 143000 MILES ON THIS VEHICLE AND I AM NOT HAPPY WITH IT ALL. I WOULD LIKE SOMETHING DONE BY GM IN REGARDS TO MY PLIGHT. I HAVE HAD GM CARS MOST OF MY LIFE AND NEVER HAD ONE AS BAD AS THIS. I AM READY TO GO TO A FOREIGN VEHICLE. THIS IS UNDOUBTEDLY THE WORST VEHICLE I HAVE EVER OWNED. *NM

NO EVENTS JUST AFTER I HAVE BEEN DRIVING A WHILE EVERY DAY ALL LIGHTS INCLUDING DASH FLICKER AND THEN WHEN I SHUT OFF FUEL PUMP WON'T PUMP UP. THIS HAPPENS ONCE A DAY AND WILL NOT RESTART TILL NEXT DAY. *TR

DT: THE CONTACT COMPLAINED ABOUT MULTIPLE PROBLEMS. WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH ON A DAMP ROAD THE DRIVER'S SIDE WHEEL CAME OFF. HE WAS ABLE TO STEER THE VEHICLE SAFELY TO THE CURB. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A MECHANIC, WHO REPLACED THE UPPER BALL JOINT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND REALIGNED THE WHEELS. LATER, HE HEARD A GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THE MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE OTHER BALL JOINTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. HOWEVER, THEY HAVE NOT BEEN REPLACED. ALSO, THE WINDSHIELD FOGGED UP. THE MECHANIC STATED THE HEATER CORE BROKE AND THE COOLANT WAS LEAKING. THE HEATER CORE WAS REPLACED. N ADDITION, THE VEHICLE HAD PROBLEMS STARTING. THE MECHANIC HAD TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP AND FUEL INJECTOR. THE STARTING PROBLEM HAS NOT RETURNED. *AK

1999 CHEVROLET BLAZER LT - MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH (COMMON PROBLEM!) IS MALFUNCTIONING. TURN SIGNAL/FLASHER RELAY IS CONSTANTLY CLICKING WHETHER SIGNALS ARE IN USE OR NOT -- UNLESS THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED. GOOD SIGN OF AN ELECTRICAL SHORT. THE CAUSE OF THIS ISSUE IS THE GREASE INSIDE THE SWITCH, APPLIED AT THE FACTORY, RUNNING FROM CONTACT TO CONTACT. THIS SWITCH INCLUDES THE WIPERS, CRUISE CONTROL, TURN SIGNALS, HAZARDS, AND CAN ALSO CAUSE VEHICLE LIGHTING (HEADLIGHTS, BRAKE LIGHTS) TO MALFUNCTION. MANY CASES INCLUDE NON-WORKING BRAKE LIGHTS! OTHERS HAVE REPORTED SMOKE COMING FROM THE SWITCH AS THE CONTACTS ARE SHORTED BY THE GREASE. I INHERITED THIS VEHICLE FROM MY GRANDFATHER, WHO COULDN'T HEAR THE RELAY FIRING -- IT IS THE ONLY INDICATOR INSIDE THE VEHICLE THAT SOMETHING MAY BE GOING WRONG. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE INDICATORS INSIDE THE VEHICLE LETTING A PERSON KNOW THEIR LIGHTS ARE MALFUNCTIONING. AS THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS YEAR OF BLAZER (THOUGH I UNDERSTAND OTHER YEARS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM RECALLED), I WILL BE REPLACING THE SWITCH ON MY OWN. DEALER QUOTED THE PRICE FOR THE PART ALONE WELL OUT OF MY PRICE RANGE (NEVERMIND LABOR), SO I'M GOING TO HAVE TO SHOP AROUND TO GET THE VEHICLE IN SAFE DRIVING CONDITION. THANKS FOR READING. I APPRECIATE IT! *TR

TURN SIGNAL INDICATOR CLICKS WHEN TURN SIGNALS NOT IN USE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 1999 CHEVROLET BLAZER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE ROLLED FOUR TIMES AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CONTACT AND THE PASSENGER SUSTAINED INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED.

THE TREAD FROM A UNIROYAL LAREDO TIRE CAME OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. I LOST CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE MOMENTARILY UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO COUNTERSTEER TO CORRECT THE WEAVING AND UNSTABLE DRIVING OF MY VEHICLE. AS THE TREAD CAME OFF IT DAMAGED MY WHEEL WELL, UNDERCARRAIGE BEHIND THE WHEEL, REAR BUMPER AND BODY TRIM. I HAD MY SON AND THREE OF HIS FRIENDS IN THE CAR AT THE TIME.

I HAD TO HAVE THE DRIVESHAFT IN MY 1999 CHEVY BLAZER REPLACED IN MARCH 2011. EXACTLY ONE WEEK LATER MY SON WAS DRIVING TO SCHOOL CAYUGA-ONONDAGA BOCES IN AURBAN WHEN THE DRIVE SHAFT FELL OUT CAUSING THE BLAZER ENTIRE REAR-END TO SEIZE UP THROWING THE VEHICLE ALMOST MAKING MY SON GO DOWN OVER THE BRIDGE. THE SCHOOL CAME AND TOWED HIM BACK AND LOOKED AT IT' THE BOLT THAT HOLDS THE DRIVESHAFT IN WAS NOT THERE, AS IF THEY FORGOT TO TIGHTEN IT OR FORGET TO PUT IT ON ALL TOGETHER. THERE IS NO EVIDENCE THAT THE BOLT WAS PULLED OFF OR BROKEN, YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE BY THE TREADS. I HAD THE TRAINED AUTO MECHANICS AT THE SCHOOL CALL OVER TO PULLEN'S AND THEY WERE RUDE, SAID THEY DID THEIR JOB AND THERE WAS NOTHING TO DO TO HELP US.. VERY RUDE' ALSO, THE DRIVESHAFT DIDN'T HAVE ANY GREASE FITTINGS SO IT WOULDN'T HAVE LASTED 6 MONTHS TOP. THIS GARAGE DID A BAD JOB AND NEED TO LEARN HOW TO DO THEIR JOB RIGHT' I DIDN'T PAY OVER $500 TO HAVE MY VEHICLE FIXED FOR ONE WEEK. *TR

'99 BLAZER ZR2 MY DAUGHTERS FIRST CAR, SHE PAYING FOR HERSELF. HAS THE MOST ANNOYING BLINKER NOISE UNDER PASSENGER SIDE DASH. IN RESEARCH HAVE FOUND THAT 100S OF OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME VERY EXPENSIVE FIX. IT CONSISTS OF A MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH WITH THE COST OF UPTO $700. I FEEL THAT CHEVROLET (GMC) SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR SOME OF THIS REPAIR--IT OBVIOUSLY IS A PROBLEM WITH A DESIGN OR A DEFECTED PART. IF YOU CHECK THE INTERNET IT IS JUST LOADED WITH PEOPLE DEALING WITH THIS. IN ADDITION TO THIS THAT SAME YEAR BLAZER SEEMS TO HAVE SOME TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AND BEARINGS AT THE 70,000 MIL RANGE.....SOMETHING ISN'T RIGHT HERE. WE JUST DID THE BEARINGS FOR THE $400 PRICE TAG. PLEASE HELP THIS YOUNG GIRL, SHE IS TRYING TO THE RIGHT THING, LETS HELP HER DO IT. *TR

THE SPARE TIRE CABLE ON 1999 BLAZER HAS CORRODED CAUSING THE SPARE TIRE TO FALL FROM THE VEHICLE. IT HAPPENED ONCE. I PURCHASED A NEW SPARE WHEEL AND TIRE AND STRAPPED INSIDE THE CARGO COMPARTMENT OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 CHEVROLET BLAZER. THE CONTACT TOOK HER VEHICLE TO THE DEALER BECAUSE SHE HEARD A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE WHEELS. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE TWO FRONT TIRE HUBS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. SEVERAL DAYS LATER, WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK THE VEHICLE INTO A PARKING SPACE, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE SPONTANEOUSLY DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE ALMOST CAUSED A CRASH. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER AND THEY SPECULATED THAT THE HUBS WERE DEFECTIVE. THE DEALER REPAIRED THE HUBS. THE CONTACT HAS ALL OF THE DOCUMENTS PERTAINING TO THE REPAIRS MADE TO THE VEHICLE. SHE ALSO HAS POSSESSION OF THE FAILED COMPONENT. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 81,200.

I HAVE 2 BLAZERS 1999 AND BOTH HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM A FAILING MULTI FUNCTION SWITCH THAT MAKES AN ANNOYING CONSTANT CLICKING SOUND THAT COME FROM BEHIND THE GLOVE BOX. I HAD ONE REPAIRED LAST YEAR THAT COST ME OVER 600$ AND NOW MY OTHER BLAZER IS HAVING THE ME THE SAME PROBLEM .THE PART THEY HAVE CHANGE IS THE ARM FOR THE FLASHER RIGHT /LEFT IN WITCH INCLUDES THE CRUISE CONTROL HIGH BEAM LIGHT. *TR

MY DAD CAME AND PULLED ME HOME. MY DAD IS AN AUTOMOTIVE TECH AND HE LOOKED AT MY CAR IN THE MORNING HE CAME AND WOKE ME UP AND TOLD ME THE CAUSE OF MY GAS PEDAL GETTING STUCK WAS THAT MY THROTTLE CABLE FOR THE GAS JUST SNAPPED AND THAT GM MADE A FAULTY DESIGN FOR THE GAS CABLE IT SUCKED AND CAUSED MY CABLE TO SLICE AND SNAP I COULD HAVE LOST MY LIFE I WAS ON THE FREEWAY 10 MINUTES BEFORE THE ACCIDENT..IM SHOCKED THAT I COULD HAVE DIED.!! THE NIGHT THAT THIS HAPPENED I WAS SO UPSET THAT I CRIED MYSELF TO SLEEP AND IM 28 YEARS OLD SO YOU CAN SEE HOW TRAUMATIZING THIS WAS FOR ME. I ALSO FORGOT TO INCLUDE THAT ON IMPACT MY AIR BAG DID NOT EVEN OPEN TO PREVENT ME FROM SLAMMING INTO MY STEERING WHEEL IT HURT ALL THE WHOLE NEXT DAY. *NM

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT MY WIFE TRIED TO STOP AND THE BRAKES JUST MADE THAT ABS BUZZING NOISE AND WAS NOT STOPPING. THIS WAS CAUSED BY THE WHEEL BEARING ABS SENSOR BEING BAD NOT THE WHEEL BEARING ITSELF THIS SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO HAPPEN AS IT IS A DANGER/ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN!

HEATED SEAT SHORTED OUT, CAUSING MY BLAZER TO CATCH ON FIRE. *AK

SEAT HANDLES KEPT BREAKING OFF. COOLING SYSTEM MAKES GURGLING SOUNDS AND SOUND LIKE WATER RUNNING. NO AIR CONDITIONING. *LA
