The driver side door striker and door latch are defective. The striker has no rust and is not in position to latch the door tight that leaves a gap between the door and body. The door latch after opening the door remains in a closed position and need to manually lift the lock in order to shut the door.

The 2001 chevy blazer we were riding and hydroplaned doing 45-50 MPH. The vehicle spun around 3 times and then rolled over twice. The roof caved in on the front passenger side, causing my wife to break her neck. She was in nicu for 6 weeks, at which point she died due to complications from pneumonia.

There was no events leading up to this failure... The problem is the body frame around the striker plate on the drivers side door, is ripping apart. This vehicle is 3 years old, and has never been in an accident. This is not being caused by rust. This is a defect in the manufacturing of the vehicle.

Consumer heard a noise in the front of vehicle. Consumer stated he had been hearing it a little, but currently the noise became more pronounced. Consumer had already replaced the transmission once. *ak the consumer had to fill the tires every week. The tires leaked air since purchase. The tire service dealer suggested that there was no leak and that corrosion built up on the wheels in which air escaped through the rim of tires. There was a thumping noise in the front end and seems like it happens worst on right turns, the left wheel bearing was loose in the hub bearing assembly, the hood hinges rattling excessive clearence, there was excessive slippage and the clutch burnt.

Electrical problems and door problems - I bought my blazer when it was 2 years old with 8300 miles on it. With about 13000 miles on it the vehicle would not stay running and the battery gauge was under 9. I got the vehicle started and drove to the dealership. They replaced the alternator. They would not cover a loaner or rental since I was able to drive the car to the dealership. If I would have had it towed they would have covered a rental. 2 weeks later same problem repeated. Brought it back to dealership and they found the ground wire off the alternator was not properly tightened to the engine block. Again they would not cover a rental car since the car was driveable. That fixed the problem. With about 17000 miles on it and 2 1/2 years old noticed rattling noise coming from drivers side front. Noticed that the drivers side front door was sagging. Brought vehicle to dealership and again they would not pay for a rental or loaner. Problem diagnosed as door needing new bushing and center pins for the hinges. They had to order the parts and I had to bring vehicle back. Again they would not pay for a rental or give me a loaner. I had a 1/2 hour discussion with service director for the dealership and finally gave me a loaner. I called chevy about the problem with the doors and they don't find that out of the ordinary for the vehicle to need new pins and bushings with only 17500 miles on it. The 3/36000 warranty is up in two months and I will be getting rid of the vehicle before the warranty is up before something else breaks on it. I will never buy another gm vehicle!!
