1997 Chevrolet Blazer suspension complaints
Page 5 of 5: complaints 101 to 105 of 105, newest first, as owners wrote them.
After approximately 30,000 miles, my leased s-10 blazer developed a vibration that is noticeable when driving above 60 MPH. The vibration is most noticeable at 65 to 70 MPH. The local dealer in roanoke, va has acknowledged that there is a vibration problem, but has been unable to fix the problem. They also told me that they had seen the same problem in other blazers with the new body style (same as mine).
The front driver's side tire is against the wheel well, causing more wear and tear on that tire, which may result in a tire blow out. Dealer said that the oversized orginal tires are causing that problem. Took to a certified mechanic, he said it it is due to improper front end assembly.
While driving the lower control arm broke, causing consumer to lose steering ability, resulting in an accident.
