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.

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.
