My fiance had purchased a 2002 s10 chevrolet blazer in october of 2004 because he wanted me to have something that was safe and dependable to drive. Just recently my children were driving the blazer when all of a sudden there wasn't any power from the motor. The blazer stalled and my daughter who was driving tried to restart the engine when a passing motorist yelled out to her to get out of the car that it was on fire. The entire engine compartment had caught on fire from a faulty fuel line fitting. I was unaware of a recall to replace this and needless to say I am highly upset that I had come very close to losing two of my children. A car can be replaced but my children's lives cannot. This problem needs to be brought out into the public so others will know of its possible dangers. This time I was extremely lucky, but another consumer may not be. The same exact problem occurred on my vehicle that had been previously reported by another consumer. "if the fitting becomes disconnected while the vehicle is in motion, the engine would stop due to inadequate fuel supply and cause loss of power steering assist. If an ignition source were present, fuel leakage from a disconnected fuel filter fitting could result in a fire". Well in this case the word "could" is replaced with the word "can". What does it take to get the word out that there are faulty mechanisms that can cause great bodily harm? I was never notified by the dealership nor general motors corp. That this was problematic. The vehicle is beyond repairs. I am thanking the good lord above that the lives of my children were saved. Even though I have contacted this organization, my search for answers will not end, I am also planning on contacting the general motor corp and the dealership where the vehicle was originally purchased. I will not rest until I know that these issues will be strictly dealt with.
