Page 3 of 3: complaints 41 to 54 of 54, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Transmission was replaced at 26378 problems continue. Vehickle does not want to shift into second gear,without revving the engine causing not only unsafe shifting, but poor fuel economy.after replacement of original transmission,problem appears worse than ever.
At take off, the vehicle jumps before accelerating. This was reported to the dealer after purchased. Was told it was probably the way that I accelerated. Another driver experienced the same problem in my vehicle.
While driving at 45 MPH pins in casing near differential fell off into the spider gear in the rear end, causing the rear end to lock up and vehicle skidded down the road.
Vehicle shakes at freeway speeds. Tires and driveshaft has been replaced, no effect.
While driving gears popped out of place and clutch was very stiff which could cause a crash. Vehicle been to dealer 3 times, but they were unable to find the problem. *ak
Transmission was replaced twice before this third failure. Failed at 200 miles, 5000 miles and again at 5600 miles.
Driving on wet road less than 25mph hit brakes pedal went to floor would not stop caused accident. 2nd driving 65mph starts to shimmy no power dealer says running at designed specs. No fix. 5sp manual transmission.
While at a dead stop consumer can hear chattering and vibration. Then it's fine. Took to a mechanic who said the driveline is vibrating up and down, and transmission is slipping.
Rear end made whining noises,took to dealer,dealer said rear end scored,dealer replaced ring gear and pinion,and recon.diff.case.
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.
Gear shift interlock was defective form assembly. Child was able to get vehicle out of park with out depressing brake pedal. This was confirmed by dealer vehicle was parked on a hill. Vehicle was placed into neutral and rolled back twenty five feet into a tree.
Vehicle will not engage in park. It has been in the dealership four times for the same problem. Also, repaired open wire to neutral start switch.
Intermittently when vehicle is in drive it will operate like it's in a lower gear. Dealer has not been able to duplicate the problem.
