This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
While at a dead stop consumer can hear chattering and vibration. Then it's fine. Took to a mechanic who said the driveline is vibrating up and down, and transmission is slipping.
2 months into owning this vehicle the upper console digital temperature read out went bad. Upon replacing it twice it is still malfunctioning. They have even replaced the sensor on the front grill to no avail. At one oil change the vehicle was returned to me with a crooked hood. The lock assembly had slid over 1/2 inch. It caused the hood and the fender to meet and the two metals slammed together caused a scratch on both parts in the paint. The lock assembly was returned to it's original position. Upon informing the dealer that the vehicle was "slipping" when in gear I was given a verbal driving lesson. I have been driving the Chevrolet S-10 Blazer since 1992 and this is the 3rd one I have aquired. After bringing in a third party the locking differential, all fluids, and seals were replaced, thus fixing the issue. At 4000 miles my engine "burned out" 3 of 6 fuel injectors with no explaination. I have been made aware of several other vehicles of the same year and model being brought in for the same issues. There are several other small issues, little buttons falling out, cover plates popping out of place, etc. But you do not have a box for these issues. The owner of this dealership is very aware of the issues I have come across as I have been a customer of this dealership for 3 years and have removed 3 vehicles from this dealership. Thank you for your time.
