The grommet on door hinge is worn due to misalignment of door which caused the door latch to hit the striker improperly. This resulted in the striker bending and eventually caused too much pressure on the door well causing the body frame to crack. According to the body shop estimator this is extremely common in Chevrolet Blazer.

I have multiple complaints, the gas gauge on my vehicle stop working and I ran out of gas in the middle of the street when I realized problem 2 the rear brake lights and hazard lights do not work. The other problem is the vehicle stalls, and when it finally take off, the car jerks and the driver seat moves/slides back from the hinges which caused me to not be able to reach my breaks and run into a curb. Also the driver side door sticks and is difficult to open. Lastly the wheel baring and ball joints have gone bad twice and the car has less then 75000 miles on it. I called GM customer service department and explained all of my concerns and was told they we not aware of any nationwide problem and there was nothing they could do except fix the hazard light malfunction. I researched on the net and found many many people complaining of the same concerns I have.

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.

All of my doors sound as if they are rattling on the hinges. Two different dealerships have tried to repair them a total of 4 times. Chevrolet has been contacted and will do nothing about this. My brakes also make a terrible grinding noise while applying them. On 3 occassions I have almost hit my house because the brakes didn't stop me. This has also been reported to Chevrolet and they will do nothing.

Improper assembly of doors has compromised the structural integrity of the vehicle. This has caused a safety defect on the right front and rear doors of vehicle. Both doors are welded improperly to vehicle body. Both doors require replacement of all hinges welded to vehicle body and rear door shell requires replacement due to crease on exterior sheet metal. GM factory authorized body shop will not certify welding to be to factory specifications. This vehicle is not safe. GM has refused to exchange vehicle. It is not necessary to have a fatal injury in order to recall or fix the problem. Please help.
