The heater and defroster failed to generate heat. No events leading up to failure. This fall when we needed the heat and window defroster just luke warm air was coming out. The intake hose to the heater was hot the out take hose was cold. This failure causes a major safety issue because the front window will not un-fog and the ice and snow will not melt off the front window. The driver can not see out of the front window. There is no warning to this problem. Research this problem on the web and there are numerous other people and vehicles with the same problem. It appears to be caused dex-cool coolant. This web site http://www.geocities.com/b_gillie/dexcool_problems.html has more information on this problem.

Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Intermittent wipers stop working. Sometimes they like ad, meaning: one wipe, pause, 2 wipes, pause, 3 wipes, pause, 4 wipes, pause, the back to 2 wipes and counts back up. My theory is maybe a capacitor(s) have gone bad?
Windshield wipers malfunctioned and/or stopped.
Windshield wiper arm loose. Wipers will not operate. Flawed design, in my opinion. Nut loose, had tightened. Wipers work. On going problem.
Consumer states that vehicle's manufacturer installed tint is so dark can not see out of rear windshield. Vehicle is a 2002 cheverolet blazer extreme.
Consumer stated that due to the outside rearview mirror being electric it would be hard to move or not move at all. Dealer notified.
Consumer states that while driving in the rain the windshield wipers would work intermittently. Dealer notified.
The defroster has been fixed six times. When the defroster is not operating it causes poor visibility through the windshield.
Intermittently windshield wipers become inoperable, obstructing the drivers view. Dealer replaced sensor module and still problem recurring. Currently, vehicle is without warranty.
There was a bad smell coming from the vehicle, and the windshield wipers were inoperative.
