Chevy Blazer has low milage. However, it still has several electrical issues radio at engine start goes to loudest point and car seats move backwards at awkward times which can cause an accident. Suspension very off guard, truck drifts to the sides while driving and makes an awkward sound when turning steering wheel. The complete break / steering system is off and may cause an accident if not properly take care right away. I have no money to do this big job. Please remediate.

Multi function switch in my 2001 chevy blazer that controls the hazard lights and the brake lights is on a recall. My blazer does not match any of the VIN # that are listed even thought I have the exact yr and problem with the car.
Ignition key will turn but the engine will not start sometimes. Key will not always come out of the key switch. Vat malfunction.
My 2001 chevy blazer stop lights are not operable due to a known gm recall 08v231000 however they are not willing to fix this without me paying up front. Loss of the brake lights and turn signals have made my vehicle inoperable. There is a short in the switch that cause smoke to come from the steering column as well.
Brake lights fail to illuminate, hazard flasher intermittently works, top center brake light works as it should. Replaced the flasher unit to no avail. Determined to be a defective turn signal-multifunction switch. Researched the numerous complaints and saw that there was a recall for this problem but according to the dealer my vehicle does not fit it to the recall. I see that there are many many people with the same problem. It seems that this recall did not include many of the effected vehicles.
The "ABS" and "brake system" lights stay come on and stay on at different times. I have had the brakes checked and the system checked and they are coming on for no reason.
Lost dash light and gauges.
