Truck immediately stalled while traveling highway speeds 65-75 MPH due to the fuel pump failing. The truck was put in the shop two times before a diagnosis was made. Consumer was appalled that there was no warning device to acknowledge to the owner that fuel pump failed.*ak *ts
1998 Chevrolet Blazer fuel system complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 29 of 29, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Consumer noticed gas tank was leaking after seeing gasoline on driveway. Consumer states" gas tank is rusted and developed a hole. Dealer has been contacted.
Nar 03-31-2003 *mr consumer experienced problems with wheel bearing, heater control switch, gas gauge, right door lock, brakes, and oil sending hoses.
The fuel injectors leaked onto the main wiring harness inside the engine. All of the wires melted. Three different mechanics confirmed that this should never have happened and could have caused a fire. I was refered to general motors. Estimated repairs for $1600.00 include replacement of the wiring harness, fuel injectors, fuel regulator kit, fuel body kit and upper intake gasket. Gm has agreed to pay 50% of the bill. Since the vehicle has only 42,000 miles, has been maintained properly with oil changes and tune ups, I feel that gm is responsible for the total amount.
When depressing brake pedal to come to a stop, pedal is hard and will not go down. If I keep my foot on pedal eventually it stops but it requires longer stopping distance. While driving makes humming, moaning noise until ABS light comes on and problem stops. Braking becomes easier. Was told by mechanic that right front hub bearing is bad and needs to be replaced. Was told this may clear up ABS/braking situation. Fuel gauge does not work properly. Shows half tank when near empty. As fuel level goes down, gauge goes up.fuel pump went out and had to be replaced.
There is a fuel smell inside vehicle when filling up with gas. This only happens when consumer fills fuel tank full , not when fuel tank is filled half way.
Gas petal sticks.
Fuel injectors replaced on three occasions within 25,000 miles. Dealer notified, and informed consumer that problem occurred due to california's fuel use in vehicle, and manufacturer sent an extende warranty for 100,000 miles, but what would happen after warranty expire? Seeking help from the federal safety agency in this matter.
Fuel injection has been replaced twice and checked vehicle 3 times. Manufacturer claimed it was due to california gas . Gas has an ingredient that was eating away or melting seal of fuel injection.
While filling fuel tank fumes entered into vehicle and caused occupant to feel sick. This may possibly result in loss of control . *ak
Second set tires worn out at 39000 miles due to unidentified frt sus.problem.due to unusual amount of dealer verified concerns and past title history,even though most occured before factory w/added gmpp all attemts to have local gm dealers repair any of the problems acknowlaged, have been refused at presant time car sits in my driveway and we are using a rental paid for by me. The dealers,and factory have passified me through 3/36 coverage and made me think some conserns were not valid,because I was forced to drive vehc.all complaints have been duplicated and varified,documented by many gm techs. As well as passengers,private shops and the same dealer who questened concerns.my job,marrage,and daily life have been affected and saftey was and is disregaurded by what I once considered the greatest auto manufacturer in the world,there are many problems that exist to date and were recorded before 3/36 *ak( dot number: tire size: p235/70r15 )
