Power accessory circuit breaker becomes hot, and then power seats, door locks, mirrors and keyless entry do not work. This existed when I purchased the vehicle in april 2008. I tried replacing the circuit breaker. Also, the power mirror on the passenger side was damaged and was removed, so this may not be the same issue as the recall on the mirrors = to install fused jumper harness.)

What owners say
Tl*the contact owns a 1997 chevrolet blazer. The contact stated that the vehicle has a relay fuse that becomes hot after driving for a while. The failure was noticed while driving 15 MPH and causes the seat adjuster and door lock not to work. She stated that it becomes very hot and she can feel it on the cover of the fuse box. She is afraid that it may cause a fire. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The mechanic touched the fuse box and was burned. She was informed that the failure was caused by a shortage somewhere in the vehicle. The contact feels that it is a safety issue and should not have to pay for the repair. The current mileage was 103,000 and failure mileage was 98,000. Updated 09/12/07
The drivers side door inside the vehicle where the door latches has caved in with the metal, and the door no longer shuts and must be tied to keep from flying open and me falling out. This is un safe and this car is supposed to be built well, and I have almost fallen out of the car.
Electrical system failure caused power windows , interior lights and power door locks to fail. Yh
I have not purchased this vehicle. It is a lease and I was the first. Not only has the transmission gone out in the 53,000 range but the brakes and the power door locks. I have exceeded the allotted mileage and so I'm stuck with all of the repair bills. My transmission mechanic told me he found the flaw in the transmission that it was a faulty part. Chevrolet told me too bad and I feel in a really rude way. I really feel for other who have to repalce a transmission so soon after buying a vehicle. If you can help myself or others I sure appreciate it. Thank you, trudy horridge
