Many problems were identified to the dealer at the time of purchase. I was told that all items would be corrected. To date about 50% of these have been corrected after many attempts by me to get satisfaction with the dealer. I have attempted to contact the manufacturer but have been unsuccessful in my attempts to get by their customer satisfaction staffs. They refer me back to the dealer. Many illegal and improper actions were taken by this dealer during and after the time of purchase. My satisfaction and safety are at risk with this vehicle as the rear window assembly does not seat properly. Constant air flow at this window and around the doors is creating an unsafe environment within the vehicle. I believe that carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide fumes are entering the vehicle at these points. My family finds that they experience severe and numerous headaches, burning eyes, etc. When in the vehicle. It is also creating a noise hazard within the vehicle as the air currents are consistant at all speeds.
Vehicle hesitated and stalled intermittently without warning. Dealer has replaced ignition wiring/harness wiring ,and catalytic converter twice. Please provide further information.
Intake leaking, reseal intake, removed transmission found rear main seal leaking and oil pan gasket replaced both seals
When the air conditioner compressor is running there is a noticeable loss of power. When accellerating from a stop it is necessary to increase the pressure on the gas pedal to compensate for the loss of power if the compressor cycles on. If the compressor cycles off during acceleration you need to let up on the gas pedal to compensate for the increase of power. The dealer has been made aware of the problem and have tried to repair the problem but now claim this is normal for this vehicle. I have owned two other blazers and they did not have this problem. I also have driven another 1999 blazer and it did not display this problem. This vehicle is not safe to drive. I has been necessary to turn off the A/C in traffic. Any help you may be able to give me on this matter would be greatly appreciated. I plan to file for arbitration with the bbb as per the manufactures warranty.
2 months into owning this vehicle the upper console digital temperature read out went bad. Upon replacing it twice it is still malfunctioning. They have even replaced the sensor on the front grill to no avail. At one oil change the vehicle was returned to me with a crooked hood. The lock assembly had slid over 1/2 inch. It caused the hood and the fender to meet and the two metals slammed together caused a scratch on both parts in the paint. The lock assembly was returned to it's original position. Upon informing the dealer that the vehicle was "slipping" when in gear I was given a verbal driving lesson. I have been driving the chevrolet s-10 blazer since 1992 and this is the 3rd one I have aquired. After bringing in a third party the locking differential, all fluids, and seals were replaced, thus fixing the issue. At 4000 miles my engine "burned out" 3 of 6 fuel injectors with no explaination. I have been made aware of several other vehicles of the same year and model being brought in for the same issues. There are several other small issues, little buttons falling out, cover plates popping out of place, etc. But you do not have a box for these issues. The owner of this dealership is very aware of the issues I have come across as I have been a customer of this dealership for 3 years and have removed 3 vehicles from this dealership. Thank you for your time.
