My vehicle makes a clunk noise when the vehicle is in motion and i press on the accelerator it also makes a little jerk. This mainly happens @ low speeds and on a incline hill. There some type of oil or grease stains where the cv axle goes into transmission. ive felt my vehicle with less power and pulls to the left. Took the vehicle to chevrolet and they said they couldnt duplicate the issue or the oil leak.

The first incident started on 08/16/2024, 2 days after buying the vehicle used from Dealership. I started getting notifications stating "Service-Front Camera not available" and sure enough, I no longer had a front camera, which then means I no longer have front collision alerts. Then I started getting the random notifications to drive carefully because drivers assistance has been reduced, and now my vehicle's fan will randomly run for up to 30 minutes after it has been shut off and even after a less than 2 mile drive to gas station and back home, it does this. Last item is the vehicle pulls to the right, and I have not hit anything nor has it ever been in an accident prior to my purchase, and my brakes squeal horribly, which shouldn't be happening condidering I haven't even driven the vehicle 5,000 miles in the year since I bought it !

I had the egr valve replaced because there was problems with my vehicle running terrible and killing in traffic. It was replaced free because there was a bulletin, I really wonder if it was replaced on 10/01 because almost 1 year later 9/02 I started having the same problems again and it cost me $272 to have it fixed and once again as of 10/11/05 computer diagnostic reveals that the egr is sticking again and it's going to cost $375,could I have possible gotten a defective egr on 10/01. Also, I have had this problem with my blazer shortly after I purchased it . When driving on uneven surface it sounds as if something is cracking and trying to fall to pieces in the front and the steering is loose and pulls to one side, even after a front end alignment and rotation and balance, the problem is not corrected. I actually had 1 of many front end alignment and rotation done on 10/07/05 and my front end problem has gotten much,much worse than usually. I am almost scared to drive it.

Vehicle pulls to the right with violent vibration when going over 45 MPH. Have replaced the ball joints, new tires and had vehicle aligned 2 times. Two shops stated that there was nothing more they could do. Both found that the wheel base was off. The right side of my vehicle is 1/4" shorter than the left. Had vehicle inspected to see if it had been wrecked. Two body shops stated that there was no visual signs of a wreck. The carfax report came back that there had been no wrecks. Body shops also stated that putting the vehicle on a frame puller would not help because after taking it off the frame would most likely go back to the way it was. Went ahead and tried and the were both right. Have spent too much money trying to fix this problem and am in the process of speaking with chevrolet headquarters. Any idea on what to do? Thinking of contacting my lawyer.

When brake pedal was depressed at 20 MPH it failed to stop the vehicle. This resulted in an accident because the vehicle ran through a stop sign. Prior to this incident, which started at 400 miles, vehicle would either pull to the right/left while driving at any speed. The cause of both failures was undetermined.

I have reviewed other owners complaints regarding their front suspension, fuel pump with random shut offs. My vehicle is experiencing the same and similar problems. As of today my vehicle is in the shop;I was doing 35-40 MPH when vehicle just un expectedly shut off. I was stranded on a major road which cause a significant traffic delay. I have an oil leak from the hose leading to my oil filter and the vehicle pull to the right sharply if I release the steering wheel. The vehicle makes a popping sound when turning. These problems are hard to find just an isolated incident when so many consumers are having the same problems.
