problem #13

Blazer 4WD 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 43,000 miles
I was notified by another driver I had no brake lights, brought back to dealer and informed that it would cost $400 to fix. Found out through my employer there had been a recall for this problem. Why was it not corrected before I purchased it from the Chevy dealer. Also informed my airbag warning light was on and the a module was at fault and would cost another $550 to fix and that it may inflate airbag while driving. These are totally unrealistic problems to occur in a 2 year old model with less then 40,000 mi.

They adjusted the door stricker and lubed the hinges 5/24/00. 7/25/00 door was still sticking again they adjusted door and stricker. Powertrain- rear 7/25/00 reported that rear shakes and shimmys on acceleration from a stop. They could not duplicate. 8/30/00 took in again for shutter in rear, they replaced 1 gasket 5.399 sp 2 bearings 5.536 sp and 1 case asm 5.510. 6/1/01 took in for the air bag light staying on found history code for no communication between computers could not get it to duplicate. 7/16/01 air bag light check for history codes reset and test drove could not find problem. I also had no brake lights this visit. It had blown 3 fuses. They found that multifuntion switch was defective and was hoping that that would solve the air bag problem. 9/25/01 took in for air bag light again. Codes that showed up were V1000, V1016, V1041, V1064, V1096 reset codes said that it was stating that it was not registering a problem wit the air bag. This trip I had the window lock overide replaced. All windows were locked except for the drivers. 10/10/01 took back in for air bag light. Not registering again. Traced wiring to splice pak 201 cleaned and reroute and reinstall buss. This trip the rear passenger door lock was not working and it was replaced. Told me to call if light came on again. 10/23/01 light came on while driving home. Called and took back to shop 10/24/01. It was not reading any codes. They drove car 140 miles and could not get it to come on. They told me the next time it comes on if in daytime Monday- Friday to call them and they will come and get the car, not to cut it off and they will hook it up to the computer while the light is still on. Please help!!!!! what options do I have" does the lemon law apply here???"
