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.
Vehicle experiences stalling, after stalling there is a burning smell, dealer has replaced the fuel pump, crank sensor, map sensor, PCM, fuel pump module, vehicle still experiences stalling, consumer feels problem is an electrical problem. Ses light flashed at times, dealer replaced coil wire. Keyless entry inoperable, dealer replaced receiver, remote module, and reprogrammed transmitters. Consumer states vehicle has excessive wind noise on both sides. There is a clunk when backing up and turning left or right. Overhead panel goes blank in morning, when first starting vehicle, dash and gauges will not light up, and overhead compass was replaced. Consumer states gas mileage is not as good as it used to be. Ses light illuminated.
Dealer stated on 9/26/200 that fuel pump was faulty. Replaced this...auto still did not work. Dealer stated maybe a faulty fuel pump was sent, ordered a 2nd, put this one in. Again, auto did not run. After the 1st one was installed, vehicle was released to me, 1.5 hours later, I was again stranded. Dealership said it was a cpi, something within the fuel injector system. That was replaced. It wasn't the problem. They finally stated it was 3 injectors within this unit. Those were replaced and my vehicle returned to me. Auto was in the shop from 9/26/2000 until 10/10/2000. On 10/12/2000, on route 33 westbound, my accerlerator stuck, my brakes did not work, vehicle was doing 95 mph. I gained control of vehicle and got it stopped. It was towed from logan, Ohio to columbus where I leased it from. As of right now, it's driveable, but not fixed. The dealership did secure the cruise control cable away from accerlerator so that I could drive it. I had to pay for a rental from 9/26/2000-10/10/2000. They refused to give me a loner car or rental from them. I am still afraid to drive this, I've had too much bad luck the last few weeks with it. I'm fighting with GM to be reimbursed for the rental, total amount is $533. I would like to get out of this lease, have my lease transferred to something else. As far as I know, there are no recalls on the 1999 Chevrolet Blazer, but I would like to know if there is any. It just seems its falling apart on me!!
Fuel injectors fouled and vehicle would not run. One injector was replaced, others were cleaned. Dealer stated it was bad fuel and to use only mobil gas, chevron was no good. Chevron was contacted and they said it was a known defect in the injection system. Chevrolet was contacted and they said there was no problem. Fuel mileage started going down after repairs. Car was again towed at 8,900 miles, dealer stated that it was out of fuel, which would mean the car is now only getting 10-miles per gallon. Dealer stated that this was okay and the computer would tell them if anything was wrong. No solution offered, no test other than checking the computer for codes was performed. This dealer stated to only run shell gas, all others present a problem. Again, chevron states that this is a known problem with the injectors. The epa allows a car to get this kind of mileage without reporting it to the public?
