I heard a clicking like my turn indicator was on but it wasn't. Smoke came out of the steering column. A co-worker of my father's has had this component replaced twice (same symptoms) in his 1998 blazer and the gentleman's sister-in-law has had this component replaced once. Also, another co-worker of my father's had it replaced once (under warranty) on his 2001 blazer. I would think that this is a safety issue since smoke came otu of the steering column.

Vhicle had been pulling to side and the steering had too much play, dealer determined steering box needed to be replaced.
Vehicle was pulling to side and steering wheel had too much play. Dealer replaced idler arm. Did not remedy the problem. On 10 april 2002 right front upper and lower ball joints were replaced. Reported by david bluman.
Vehicle experiences stalling, after stalling there is a burning smell, dealer has replaced the fuel pump, crank sensor, map sensor, PCM, fuel pump module, vehicle still experiences stalling, consumer feels problem is an electrical problem. Ses light flashed at times, dealer replaced coil wire. Keyless entry inoperable, dealer replaced receiver, remote module, and reprogrammed transmitters. Consumer states vehicle has excessive wind noise on both sides. There is a clunk when backing up and turning left or right. Overhead panel goes blank in morning, when first starting vehicle, dash and gauges will not light up, and overhead compass was replaced. Consumer states gas mileage is not as good as it used to be. Ses light illuminated.
Dealer stated on 9/26/200 that fuel pump was faulty. Replaced this...auto still did not work. Dealer stated maybe a faulty fuel pump was sent, ordered a 2nd, put this one in. Again, auto did not run. After the 1st one was installed, vehicle was released to me, 1.5 hours later, I was again stranded. Dealership said it was a cpi, something within the fuel injector system. That was replaced. It wasn't the problem. They finally stated it was 3 injectors within this unit. Those were replaced and my vehicle returned to me. Auto was in the shop from 9/26/2000 until 10/10/2000. On 10/12/2000, on route 33 westbound, my accerlerator stuck, my brakes did not work, vehicle was doing 95 MPH. I gained control of vehicle and got it stopped. It was towed from logan, ohio to columbus where I leased it from. As of right now, it's driveable, but not fixed. The dealership did secure the cruise control cable away from accerlerator so that I could drive it. I had to pay for a rental from 9/26/2000-10/10/2000. They refused to give me a loner car or rental from them. I am still afraid to drive this, I've had too much bad luck the last few weeks with it. I'm fighting with gm to be reimbursed for the rental, total amount is $533. I would like to get out of this lease, have my lease transferred to something else. As far as I know, there are no recalls on the 1999 chevrolet blazers, but I would like to know if there is any. It just seems its falling apart on me!!
Steering wheel column had a lot of play inside of the wheel. Dealership replaced the steering wheel once. Complaint was that when driving vehicle experienced a thunking and bumping noise.
Steering wheel locks up, driver unable to steer vehicle. Dealer has seen vehicle 2 times, and cant solve problem.
Consumer was driving at 65 MPH and going around a corner when the vehicle went on half of the pavement, and consumer lost control. When consumer attempted to gain control of vehicle, it rolled over about three to four times. Upon impact, air bags didn't deploy, and the passenger's side tire broke off. Consumer had to break three of the windows to get other consumer's out of the vehicle.
