MY 2002 CHEVY BLAZER WILL NO LONGER SHIFT INTO 4-WHEEL DRIVE. IT HAS BEEN THIS WAY FOR OVER A YEAR NOW, AND CHEVY WON'T EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE MY COMMUNICATIONS ABOUT IT. *TR

WHY DOES THIS WORK ON MY 1999 CHEVY & NOT MY 2002 CHEVY?

RECEIVED A RECALL LAST OCTOBER 2015 ABOUT STRONG GAS SMALL. GOT APPOINTMENT AT CHEVY DEALER TO FIX PROBLEM IN NOVEMBER. DEALER SAYS I NEED A GAS TANK,BUT THEY CAN'T GET ANY FROM COMPANY. THEY HAVE OTHER RECALLS ALSO WITH THE SAME PROBLEM THAT ARE WAITING. NOW VEHICLE HAS BECOME HARD TO START. STILL WAITING FOR DEALER TO FIX. WHY DOES CHEVROLET SEND RECALLS IF THEY HAVE NO INTENTION OF FIXING THE PROBLEM?? THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION WITH GAS DRIPPING, AND THE STRONG GAS SMELL. IT IS A LAWSUIT WAITING TO HAPPEN IF SOMEONE ACCIDENTLY DROPS A CIGARETTE AROUND THE CAR.

THE HEATER AND DEFROSTER FAILED TO GENERATE HEAT. NO EVENTS LEADING UP TO FAILURE. THIS FALL WHEN WE NEEDED THE HEAT AND WINDOW DEFROSTER JUST LUKE WARM AIR WAS COMING OUT. THE INTAKE HOSE TO THE HEATER WAS HOT THE OUT TAKE HOSE WAS COLD. THIS FAILURE CAUSES A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE FRONT WINDOW WILL NOT UN-FOG AND THE ICE AND SNOW WILL NOT MELT OFF THE FRONT WINDOW. THE DRIVER CAN NOT SEE OUT OF THE FRONT WINDOW. THERE IS NO WARNING TO THIS PROBLEM. RESEARCH THIS PROBLEM ON THE WEB AND THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER PEOPLE AND VEHICLES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. IT APPEARS TO BE CAUSED DEX-COOL COOLANT. THIS WEB SITE HTTP://WWW.GEOCITIES.COM/B_GILLIE/DEXCOOL_PROBLEMS.HTML HAS MORE INFORMATION ON THIS PROBLEM. *JB

INTERMITTENT WIPERS STOP WORKING. SOMETIMES THEY LIKE AD, MEANING: ONE WIPE, PAUSE, 2 WIPES, PAUSE, 3 WIPES, PAUSE, 4 WIPES, PAUSE, THE BACK TO 2 WIPES AND COUNTS BACK UP. MY THEORY IS MAYBE A CAPACITOR(S) HAVE GONE BAD?*AK

"TAKATA RECALL" VEHICLE ACTED LIKE IT WANTED TO ONLY GO RIGHT AND I COULDN'T TURN LEFT AND ENDED UP HITTING THE GUARDRAIL ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD AND ALMOST TOTALLED THE VEHICLE. DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT ANY RECALL SO I WENT TO JUNKYARD TO GET WHOLE FRONT END, FENDERS, HOOD AND PRETTY MUCH EVERY THING ON FRONT OF VEHICLE EXCEPT FOR MOTOR. BUT DID REPLACE FAN ON MOTOR. COST IN PARTS ONLY WAS APPROX. $700.00 (HAVE RECEIPTS). NOT INCLUDING LABOR! & TIME AND COST SPENT NOT HAVING A VEHICLE UNTIL FIXED. ALSO NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED!

MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT AND STARTED TO FISH TALE AND SPIN OUT, SHE SAID THAT SHE HAD NO CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHEEL AND IT LOCKUP THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT TIRE. THIS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO DO A 270 SPIN THEN GO BACKWARDS HITTING THE CURB, FLIPPING THE VEHICLE ONTO THE DRIVER SIDE, CAUSING IT TO ROLL. BECAUSE THE SHOULDER WAS AN EMBANKMENT, THE VEHICLE ROLLED ONTO THE TOP THEN ROLLED BACK DOWN ONTO IT'S WHEELS. THE VEHICLE CAME TO REST FACING THE WRONG WAY ON THE HIGHWAY. THE COST OF FIXING THE DAMAGE EXCEED VALUE OF THE VEHICLE. SIMILAR INCIDENT OCCUR EARLIER JUST AS A SPIN OUT (OCT. 2010 ?), STEERING LOCKUP AFTER TURNING LEFT AT AN INTERSECTION HAD SOME OIL ON THE ROAD FROM A PREVIOUS ACCIDENT (NOT RELATED TO US); HOWEVER, SHE RECOVER FROM THE SPIN AND JUST TURN OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTART THE VEHICLE UNLOCKING THE STEERING WHEEL. IT WAS ASSUME THAT THE SPIN AND LOCKUP WAS FROM THE OIL ON THE ROAD.

THE DOREL CHILD INFANT SAFETY SEAT THAT WAS MADE ON 10/10/2011. THE PRODUCT NUMBER IS 22-391 MLO. THE RESTRAINTS ON THE SEAT ARE NOT SAFE FOR A CHILD TO BE PLACED IN THE SEAT DUE TO THE RESTRAINTS COMING OFF OR UNDONE. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS SIMPLY PULL ON THE RESTRAINTS AND THEY WILL COME UNDONE. AND IT IS REALLY UNSAFE IF YOU HAVE A INFANT IN THE SEAT THAT LIKES TO HOLD THE RESTRAINTS OR EVEN PLAY WITH THEM WHILE YOU ARE TRYING TO DRIVE AND CANT ALWAYS SEE WHAT THEY ARE DOING. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE EVEN JUST TRYING TO PLACE MY SON INTO THE SEAT. THE CONSEQUENCES OF THIS HAPPENING ARE THAT I HAVE TO THEN EITHER TAKE HIM OUT OF THE SEAT AND FIX THE RESTRAINTS OR I HAVE TO TRY AND FIX IT WHILE HE IS IN HIS SEAT. THE ONLY THING I WAS ABLE TO DO IS FIX THE PROBLEM MYSELF IS TO PLACE VELCRO ON THE RESTRAINTS ON THE BACK OF THE SEAT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY DO NOT MOVE AT ALL WHEN I PLACE MY SON IN THE SEAT. I HAVE TRIED TO CONTACT THE COMPANY TO SEE WHAT CAN BE DONE, BUT EVERY TIME, I CALL THERE IS A HOLD TIME OR THEY ARE CLOSED. *TR

FRONT WHEEL HUB ASSEMBLY WENT BAD

I HAVE BEEN HEARING A NOISE IN THE FRONT END FOR A FEW WEEKS AND I HAD THE TIRES REPLACED BUT IT DID NOT CURE THE PROBLEM. I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT I NEED A HUB ASSEMBLY WHICH IS $500 FOR THE PART ALONE AND I NEED AN IDLER ARM WHICH I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE IN FAITHFULLY FOR MAINTENANCE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY NEVER TOLD MY ABOUT IT AND JUST SAID TO WATCH THE TIRES. OBVIOUSLY WITH THE WEAR ON MY TIRES (OUTSIDE WEAR) THEY SHOULD OF HAVE KNOWN. I HAVE BEEN IN TWICE FOR THE FRONT END REPLACEMENT OF BUSHINGS AND MANY OTHER THINGS AND I ALSO HAVE HEARD FROM MANY PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AS I HAVE WITH THE HUB ASSEMBLY. NOT EVERYONE HAS $500 TO JUST FORK OUT. PLEASE HELP. *NM

2002 S-10 BLAZER 4WD CONCERN FIRST LET ME SAY I HAVE NOT CHANGED THE DRIVERS DOOR PINS AND BUSHINGS EVEN THROUGH I KNEW THEY WERE BAD. THE DOOR CLOSES AND LOCKS ON THE DOOR STRIKER THAN MOUNTS TO THE VEHICLE SIDE POST. HERE IS WHAT HAPPENED, WHICH AT A SERVICE CENTER GETTING THE TRANSMISSION SERVICED AND REPLACING THE 4 WD DRIVE SHAFT, I RETURNED TO PICK MY CAR UP. THE DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE AND LATCH, UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, THE ENTIRE DOOR STRIKER ASSEMBLY FRACTURED THE SIDE POST METAL AND PUSHED INTO THE SIDEPOST ASSEMBLY. THIS PREVENTED THE DOOR FROM LATCHING. I WENT TO A CHEVY DEALERSHIP IN GRESHAM, OREGON, WE LOOKED AT THE DESIGN, THE DOOR STRIKER IS ONLY MOUNTED TO THE SHEETMETAL WITH A METAL BACKING SUPPORT BEHIND IT. MY QUESTION IS, HOW DID THIS VEHICLE PASS ANY KIND OF SIDE IMPACT TEST WITH THIS DESIGN? THE ONLY THING KEEPING THE DOOR FROM FLYING OPEN IS WHAT I DESCRIBED ABOVE. I AM SHOCKED THAT THE DOOR STRIKER IS NOT SECURED TO A STEEL POST OF SOME KIND. I'M GOING TO TAKE SOME DIGITAL PICTURES OF THE STRIKER ASSEMBLY TO KEEP INCASE YOU ARE INTERESTED IN LOOKING AT THEM. *TR

DT: THE CONTACT STATED WHEN PULLING OUT THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT WILL SLIDE BACKWARD. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE LOCKING MECHANISM BROKE. THE REPAIRS HAVE NOT BEEN DONE AT THIS TIME. *AK

WHILE DRIVING AND UPON MAKING RIGHT OR LEFT TURNS, THERE WAS A CLANKING NOISE IN THE STEERING. THE VEHICLE JUMPED LANES WITH NO WARNING OR HELP FROM THE DRIVER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT THE PROBLEM RECURRED. *AK *SC

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE WOULD ACCELERATE WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. THE CONSUMER HAS MADE CONTACT WITH THE DEALERSHIP. *AK

HAVE HAD TO REPLACE FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS MULTIPLE TIMES UNDER 60K MILES. THE REPLACEMENT BEARINGS HAVE EVEN HAD TO BE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THE OEM WHEEL BEARINGS FOR THIS VEHICLE HAVE A 60% FAILURE RATE. THE SOLUTION IS TO UPGRADE TO A HIGHER QUALITY BEARING BEYOND THE OEM ONE. SUCH AS SKF BRAND WITH A 100K MILE WARRANTY. *TR

MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT AND STARTED TO FISH TALE AND SPIN OUT, SHE SAID THAT SHE HAD NO CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHEEL AND IT LOCKUP THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT TIRE. THIS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO DO A 270 SPIN THEN GO BACKWARDS HITTING THE CURB, FLIPPING THE VEHICLE ONTO THE DRIVER SIDE, CAUSING IT TO ROLL. BECAUSE THE SHOULDER WAS AN EMBANKMENT, THE VEHICLE ROLLED ONTO THE TOP THEN ROLLED BACK DOWN ONTO IT'S WHEELS. THE VEHICLE CAME TO REST FACING THE WRONG WAY ON THE HIGHWAY. THE COST OF FIXING THE DAMAGE EXCEED VALUE OF THE VEHICLE. SIMILAR INCIDENT OCCUR EARLIER JUST AS A SPIN OUT (OCT. 2010 ?), STEERING LOCKUP AFTER TURNING LEFT AT AN INTERSECTION HAD SOME OIL ON THE ROAD FROM A PREVIOUS ACCIDENT (NOT RELATED TO US); HOWEVER, SHE RECOVER FROM THE SPIN AND JUST TURN OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTART THE VEHICLE UNLOCKING THE STEERING WHEEL. IT WAS ASSUME THAT THE SPIN AND LOCKUP WAS FROM THE OIL ON THE ROAD.

DT: THE CONTACT COMPLAINED OF A TIRE PROBLEM. HE JUST PURCHASED THE TIRES FROM BRIDGESTONE THEY HAVE ABOUT 2500 MILES. THE TIRES SHIMMY SIDE TO SIDE WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A FULL SET OF TIRES. BRIDGESTONE DUELER HL ALENZA, P23570R15. AS THE TEMPERATURE INCREASES THE SHIMMY GETS WORSE. THIS S CAUSE VIBRATION AND A REALLY LOOSE FEELING. THERE NO ABNORMAL BULGING. DOT NUMBER IS 0BM1DH40505.*AK

THE CONSUMER STATED THE RIGHT REAR TIRE WAS BALD, AND TREAD CAME OF THE TIRE.*AK THE LEFT REAR TIRE WAS ABOUT THE SAME AS THE RIGHT REAR TIRE. *PH *JB

THE FIRST PROBLEM IS THAT OUR CAR WAS NOT FULLY PAINTED, YOU CAN SEE THAT PRIMER IN LARGE AREAS ALL OVER THAT BODY OF THE CAR. SECOND PROBLEM IS THE BACK CARGO DOOR WILL NOT LOCK. THIRD PROBLEM IS THE ELECTRONIC SETS ON DRIVER AND ON PASSENGER SIDE WILL NOT MOVE AND ARE STUCK IN THE SAME POSITION, ALSO SEAT WARMERS DO NOT WORK.
