1997 Chevrolet Blazer body complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 19 of 19, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The back hatch glass keeps coming open. The latch has come loose.
The driver's door of my blazer starting smoking while it was in park - with the engine running. I quickly shut off the engine and popped the hood. No smoke in the engine-but the door was still smoking. I popped off the control panel for the electric windows, etc. The controller for the mirrors was smoldering. Then it burst into flames. Fortunately, the house I was at had a fire extinguisher. We put out the flames, it was still smoldering, so I pulled that part off from all of the wires. The car started and I was able to get home, without anymore smoke or flames. But now the parking lights won't turn off. We had to disconnect the battery.
Noise from underneath very annoying. Brakes replaced by dealer when bought now sqeaking after only 9500 miles the transmission dipstick has rusted and particles are going into the transmission. Dealership does not care the radiator was full of slug had to be flushed out of pocket for me now there is a burning smell after I accelerate smells like burnt toast. This car nothing but problems since I purchased it and will never buy this brand again thank you for listening
My 1977 blazer would not turn over this morning. A check of the battery (original) indicated that the battery acid was leaking from the battery and has corroded the battery holder, the car frame and the brake line. I understand that there has been a recall of other vehicles for leaking battery problems. I believe the problem batteries are also in the 1977 chevrolet blazer. I am concerned about the damage that may have been caused to the front brake line. I replaced the battery today... And have kept the old one in case the federal safety agency wants to see it.
The welds that hold the driver side door to the frame are breaking off. Dealer has not seen vehicle.
Abs sensor light came on. Vehicle was surging.replaced ABS sensor. Extremely poor gas mileage. Then engine check"light comes on. Replaced all 6 fuel injectors once and #'s 2&3, twice. Driver side door wasn't flush w/car. Removed door & rewelded. *ak( dot number: tire size: 235/70/15r )
Water leaks into vehicle during rain.
Brake pedal goes to the floor, not able to stop vehicle.
