No summary. Dt
Vehicle was taken in for service. The mechanics informed consumer that there was a front end problem, but they had no time to repair it. They assured consumer that it was nothing serious and could be looked at later. Consumer took vehicle to another mechanic where they removed, soaked and reinstalled the bushings in the front end. This did not remedy the problem. The vehicle was taken to another chevy dealer where they attempted to make repairs. New front coil springs were ordered. The original springs that were in the vehicle were 149 nm. The springs designed for this vehicle were 116nm. Consumer found out that the dealer where the vehicle was purchased had worked on this vehicle before consumer bought it for the exact specific height problem and were unable to correct it. They still saw fit to sell consumer this vehicle knowing about the defect. Consumer would like to settle this matter by having the dealer ship buy back the vehicle. There was also a problem with the rear springs. They were worn and the pinion seals needed replacing.
While driving and without any indication tail lights and signal lights were out. Dealer has been contacted, and replaced a switch. Please provide further information.
The truck stall when driving sometimes or wont start , the driver side seat belt locks you in, the truck locks down on you locking you in of out, the headlights will come of and on, the alarm goes of , the gas gauge does not keep right amont of gas, the engin light will not go of and not it seems to be making a ratteling sound
The 4 ways do not work and are effected by the same components as the brake lights. Since the brake lights sometimes work but most of the time do not, the dealership will not replace these lights. The dealership stated that they worked today when they checked them out and said there was no recall on this particular part. My concern is my family getting rear-ended by another vehicle or me getting pulled over by a police officer and getting a ticket. This is a serious problem that could possibly affect other people as well as my passengers.

I purchased my vehicle in 4/01 and seven months later I began experiencing a host of problems with my vehicle, starting with multifunction switch worn, then hood hinges worn, exhaust (muffler broken) right speaker inoperable, left front seat adjuster broken, grill assembly loose, brake pedal broken and finally transmission failure (needs replacing). I have done a bit of inquiring to other chevy blazer owners and found out that they have or had experience some if not all of the same problems that I am experiencing now. I am hereby respectfully requesting your assistance in rectifying this complaint. I don't think that after 11mths of purchasing my vehicle I should be needing my transmission replace. From passed experienced with replacing a transmission on my wife new vehicle (mazda mx3) back in 1992 it has never been the same. We had been having the same problems and more with it. We were able to actually get another vehicle and the same problem keep occuring . After that long and tiring experience with my wife's car I now that this won't be no different. I have purchased a lemon and I need to know what recourse I can take to insure that I would not be stuck with a vehicle that would be costing me more to have it constantly fixed and replace. I thank you for your help and assistance in this long and tiring ordeal. I anxiously await hearing from you. Respectfully yours.
To whom it may concern,I'm very upset and dissatisfied first of all the first day I purchased the 2001 chevrolet blazer I had it not even a week and people where noticing the drivers side must have been damaged at the factory,so I brought it back and phillips chevrolet was shocked to see this also,and I am leasing this vehicle and definitely was going get blamed for something that was defected from the start.they where great the exchanged the vehicle for me and this is a lemon also I am very upset at the fact that this is 4times now that my fuel injectors have messed up and I have taken this vehicle 2 times to o'conner chevrolet where they have replaced one and cleaned them both times.so then it happens for a third time so I take it to phillips where I bought it thinking the will take beeter care of there vehicle,they cleah 3 injectors 3 times they said and reset the codes, and told me to use shell gas so I did this and now exactly a month later my engine service light came on again3/29/02.now im very upset to where I dont even want this vehicle. Also the multi-function switch has been replaced.so now you tell me should I be happy I dont think so.icant afford to keep taking off from my job for this inconvience.what a joke.
While driving, brakes and hazard lights went out with no warning. Cause unknown. *ak consumer found that the vehicle had a recall on hazard and break lights, the federal safety agency campaign id number: 01v364000 and 01v364000, dealer will not honor the recall and consumer had to pay $362.91 for the repair. Consumer is asking a full refund from manufacturer.
While driving ABS function poorly. *ak vehicle is experiencing multi-function switch assembly problem which caused loss of hazard lights, brake lights, turn signal lights and hazard lights.

Ajar light for tailgate would come on intermittently, but tailgate would be closed. Dealer has been notified, and was unable to locate the problem. Feel free to provide any further information.
Intermittently dome light illuminates. Also, turn signal and brake lights work intermittently. Dealer has not been able to correct problem. Please provide any further information.
The brake and hazard lights do not come on at all making drivers any passengers very unsafe and vulnerable to rear end crashes on the roadway.
Faulty multi-function switch part resulting in no brake lights.
Brake and hazard light switch fails. Two known cases. Tech says all 2001's will fail! No recall???
Brake lights will not work when applying brakes. Bulbs and fuses are all ok, hazard flasher when flashing causes an electrical static sound under dash and when wiggling the hazard flasher switch, brake lights will work and come on. I also own a 1996 chevrolet blazer that had the same problem and was repaired at bob hook chevrolet 09/07/99 invoice no. 156312. Very little chance that I own two of the same vehicles five years apart and same defect happens to both. This is a serious safety problem that needs to be recalled before accidents occur because the vehicle behind didn't see vehicle in front stop. I am not only concerned about my family being safe but for the safety of others! Why would the dealer service shop tell me that the part will have to be ordered and there is a national back order on that part but to continue to drive the vehicle? I have contacted gm. And filed a complaint # c05965366 and they said; we will do the best we can to get the part shipped. Please help get this defect recalled so potential accidents can be avoid.
While driving multi-function switch malfunctioned, causing brake lights to go out. Spoke with dealer. *ak consumer stated this has happened twice within 2 months, consumer was informed that the part in the multi function switch is faulty, therefore causing it to go out.
When brakes are applied brake light does not illuminate due to a defective brake switch. Pleade provide additional information.
Both the brake lights and turn signals suddenly stopped working. When I took the car into the dealer, they informed me immediately that this problem was occurring on many similar vehicles. They confirmed that the problem was caused by the failure of the "multi function switch". In fact, this problem was so wide spread, the part was on "national backorder" and would not be avialable 10 days to two weeks. It appears that general motors does not think that thousands of cars dirving around without brake lights or turn signals is a serious problem.
I went to have my car inspected when I was informed that I had no brake lights. The station where I got the inspection told me this was not the only gm car they had seen with this problem. They told me they had seen this afew times in thelast month. I went to my dealership and they told me I needed a multi function switch. I called gm to form a complaint because there is no telling how long this had been like this. [xxx] at gm told me that they had failures in this switch and they were looking for a more dependable source. I couldn't even get a switch for a week because of this . Driving with no brake lights could be a potentially hazardous situation. I'm reporting this so someone doesn't loose their life over these defective switches. Please contact me if you need additional information. Thank you, [xxx *ak information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Consumer noticed rear brake lights were not working, dealer replaced module. Please add further information.
Brake and hazard lights would intermittently fail to operate. Vehicle been into dealer shop on two occasions, and problem still reoccurring. Feel free to provide any further information on this matter.
I was driving on a road when someone pulled up next to me and told me I didn't have brake lights. Only the small top center brake light was working. I was lucky that a stranger told me, I would never have known that they were not functioning. When I called the dealership they said that there was a silent recall. They had 3 other vehicles in that day with the same problem. I feel that this is a major problem because if someone isn't paying complete attention they will not notice that a blazer has stopped until it is too late. I feel that there should be a public recall for this problem. It was a simple fix (it only took part of one day). All they had to do was put in a new turn signal lever. I think that any problem like this should always be a public recall, it is not fair that the manufacturer and dealership knows about a problem and does not tell the consumer. I guess they would have told me had I gotten into an accident. But then it may have been too late. Thank you very much. Janet l. Werner.
Rear brake lights were not functioning.
