1996 CHEVROLET BLAZER Visibility Problems

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1996 CHEVROLET BLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WHEN THE INTERIOR CAUGHT ON FIRE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT CAME AND EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE ORIGIN OF THE FIRE WAS FROM THE HEATER. THREE WEEKS PRIOR TO THE FIRE, THE VEHICLE HAD REGULAR MAINTENANCE PERFORMED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. A FIRE REPORT WAS FILED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE INCIDENT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

THERE ARE SEVERAL DIFFERENT ISSUES WITH THIS TRUCK: 1. THE WHEELS ARE MAKING A SQUEAKING NOISE WHILE DRIVING; REPLACED BRAKES, ROTORS, HAD TIRES ROTATED, BALANCED AND NEW ALIGNMENT DONE WITH NO HELP 2. BRAKES GO TO FLOOR WHILE BRAKING..THIS JUST STARTED 3. BACK WINDSHIELD WIPER MAKES A LOUD NOISE AND DOESN'T WORK...EVER! 4. SEAT CONTROL GETS STUCK AND WON'T MOVE 5. NO REVERSE LIGHT(S) AND CANNOT FIGURE OUT ISSUE 6. FINAL AND BIGGEST ISSUE IS THAT ALL THE LIGHTS (INCLUDING HEADLIGHTS) FLICKER BOTH WHILE DRIVING AND IDLING) I HAVE HAD THE ALTERNATOR TESTED AND REPLACED AS WELL AS THE BATTERY..STILL HAPPENING I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK DECEMBER 8, 2007 USED FROM A LOCAL DEALER. I PURCHASED A SMALL WARRANTY BUT ONE THAT WON'T COVER ANYTHING MENTIONED ABOVE. IF THERE ARE ANY RECALLS WILL SOMEONE PLEASE CONTACT ME! *TR

GM HAS A SAFETY RECALL ON MY 1996 BLAZER THAT THEY WILL NOT HONOR FOR ME. THEY HAVE INDICATED THE RECALL WAS A LONG TIME AGO AND MY CAR IS 10 YEARS OLD. I HAD THE EXACT PROBLEM FOR THE LAST 5-6 YEARS OR MORE, BUT NEVER RECEIVED A NOTICE, AND NEVER GOT IT FIXED. I WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND TOOK MEASURES AND LIMITED MY DRIVING WHEN IT MIGHT BE A PROBLEM. I FELT COMFORTABLE WITH THE PROBLEM AS LOW RISK WHEN I DRIVE. NOW I AM SELLING THE CAR AS IS. I FEEL THERE COULD BE A SAFETY HAZARD IF SOMEONE ELSE IS DRIVING THAT IS NOT AS AWARE AND CAUTIOUS AS I AM. THE RECALL IS THE WINDSHIELD WASHER MOTOR IS INTERMITTENT. SOMETIMES THE WIPERS WON'T WORK. THIS HAS BEEN SCARY IN A DOWN POUR AND WHEN A PASSING CAR SPLASHED A MUDDY WAVE ON THE WINDSHIELD WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. I HAVE BEEN USING RAIN-X OR DRIVING MY WIFES CAR WHEN IT IS RAINING. I HAVE HAD THE CAR IN TO THE DEALER A COUPLE OF TIMES AFTER THE RECALL AND EVEN HAD THEM LOOK AT IT ONCE. THEY NEVER NOTIFIED ME OF THE RECALL. THIS IS A GM RECOGNIZED SAFETY ISSUE THAT THEY SHOULD CORRECT (AT LEAST ONCE) REGARDLESS HOW OLD MY CAR IS. A THE ORIGINAL OWNER, I SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO ONE FREE REPAIR, AND CAN CASH IT IN ANYTIME. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU CAN HELP ME. OTHERWISE WILL NOTIFY WHOEVER I SELL THE CAR TO, AND HOPE THEY DON'T HAVE AN ACCIDENT. *JB

DRIVING UP A MOUNTAIN IN A BAD RAIN STORM...THE WIPERS COMPLETELY STOPPED AND THIS TIME I COULD NOT GET THEM TO COME BACK ON. I HIT MY BRAKES JUST IN TIME BEFORE I WENT DOWN OVER THE MOUNTAIN.

GOOD MORNING, I AM WRITING IN REGARDS TO THE ISSUE OUTLINED BELOW. I HAVE CUT AND PASTED THE EMAIL I RECEIVED FROM GENERAL MOTORS IN REGARDS TO MY INQUIRY ABOUT INTERMITTENT WIPERS ON OUR 1996 S-10 BLAZER. AS I EMAILED BACK TO GENERAL MOTORS, OUR VEHICLE HAS OVER 70,000 MILES (EXCLUSION OF SPECIAL POLICY 02054); HOWEVER, I A FEW CONCERNS: 1) GENERAL MOTORS REPLACED A DEFECTIVE PART WITH ANOTHER DEFECTIVE PART. 2) GENERAL MOTORS IS USING THE AGE/MILEAGE OF A VEHICLE TO AVOID REPLACING A DEFECTIVE ITEM THAT IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE - CAUSING REDUCED VISIBILITY. I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR CLARIFICATION ON THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE! BEST REGARDS, CHARLES BECK EMAIL FROM GENERAL MOTORS: THANK YOU FOR CONTACTING THE CHEVROLET CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER. WE APPRECIATE YOUR OWNING A 1996 BLAZER AND WE APOLOGIZE FOR YOUR DISSATISFACTION AND FRUSTRATION OVER THE REPAIRS THAT HAVE BEEN NEEDED ON THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS.

BEGINNING IN NOVEMBER OF 1999, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS DIDN'T ALWAYS WORK. AT FIRST, I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A FLUKE. AFTER THE INITIAL FAILURE, THEY WORKED FINE FOR SOME TIME. WE HAD THE VEHICLE IN FOR ANOTHER PROBLEM, AND SERVICE MAN TOLD US THERE HAD BEEN NO PROBLEMS WITH THE WIPERS. SINCE THAT TIME, IT HAS BECOME MORE FREQUENT. IT INTERMITTENLY WORKS. SOMEDAYS, IT WORKS EVERY TIME, SOMEDAYS SOME OF THE TIME, AND OTHER DAYS, NONE OF THE TIME. YESTERDAY, IN THE RAIN, DRIVING ALL OVER NASHVILLE, TN, IT WOULD NOT WORK AT ALL, NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I TRIED IT. TODAY, WHEN I GOT IN THE CAR, I TRIED IT JUST FOR THE HECK OF IT, AND THEY WORKED. MY HUSBAND KNOWS SEVERAL PEOPLE WHO HAVE 95 AND 96 MODEL S-10 BLAZERS, WHO HAVE HAD THEIRS REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE, IT WAS CALLED A CAMPAIN. WHEN WE HAVE ASKED, WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR OUR VEHICLE. I FOUND A RECALL NO. 98V150, AND SOUNDS AN AWFUL LOT LIKE OUR PROBLEM. PLEASE ADVISE.*AK

DEXCOOL IN RADIATOR COOLING SYSTEM HAD TURNED TO A RUSTY SLUDGE. HAD COOLANT FLUSH DONE AT 60,000 MILES BY THE DEALER. HAD DEALER REINSPECT VEHICLE AS I WAS GOING ON A LONG ROAD. I HAVE COPY OF 27 POINT INSPECTION STATING MY VEHICLE WAS IN GOOD CONDITION WITH NO NOTED PROBLEMS. 261 MILES LATER I WAS STRANDED IN THE DESERT WITH A PLUGGED AND BLOWN RADIATOR AND HEATER CORE. THE RADIATOR CAP WAS COMPLETELY RUSTED. THE FLUID IN THE OVERFLOW TANK WAS A RUSTY BROWN THICK MESS. THE HOSES GOING INTO THE RADIATOR HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO A COATING OF RUST ON THE INSIDE. I HAD A NEW RADIATOR PUT ON, NEW HOSES, AND THE RADIATOR AND ENGINE BLOCK REFLUSHED, NEW COOLANT ADDED AND OVERFLOW TANK WASHED. 1,500 MILES LATER (TO THE CURRENT MILEAGE I AM AT NOW) THE DEXCOOL FLUID IS ALREADY DISCOLORING AND PARTICLES OF RUST ARE STARTING TO REAPPEAR. WHICH TELLS ME THE CORROSION IS DEEP INSIDE THE SYSTEM. GM WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE A PROBLEM OF RUSTING AND CORROSION, DEALER WILL TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR WORK OR INSPECTIONS. GM NEVER WARNED THE CONSUMERS THAT THIS HAD TO BE CAREFULLY WATCHED OR MAJOR ENGINE DAMAGE WOULD OCCUR. GM HAS A TRAINING VIDEO THAT WAS SENT TO DEALERS THAT SPECIFICALLY DEALS WITH THE DEXCOOL CORROSION PROBLEM. IT IS CALLED GM TRAINING VIDEO UNDERSTANDING RADIATOR CAP AND COOLING SYSTEM CONTAMINATION. THEY ARE CLAIMING THE RADIATOR CAPS MAY HAVE A PROBLEM PROPERLY SEALING THE RADIATOR THUS CAUSING HIGH EVAPORATION AND THUS CONTAMINATING THE COOLING SYSTEM. IF THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS WHY WAS THE CONSUMER NOT INFORMED? HOW CAN GM NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DAMAGE THAT IS BEING DONE TO A LARGE AMOUNT ON THEIR VEHICLES. THEY ALSO CLAIM THAT THE RADIATOR DESIGN ON CERTAIN TYPES OF THEIR VEHICLES MAKE THEM MORE PRONE TO THE CORROSION CONTAMINATION, SUCH AS THE BLAZER, JIMMY, ST PICKUPS, CAMAROS. THAT IS WHY NOT ALL GM PRODUCTS THAT WERE DELIVERED ORIGINALLY WITH DEXCOOL HAS HAD A PROBLEM.

WINDSHIELD WIPERS SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING DURING USE. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES WHICH COULD LEAD TO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THIS PROBLEM IS VERY COMMON ON 1994, 1995, AND 1996 BLAZERS . GM RECALLED THEM IN CANADA BUT NOT IN THE U.S.

RADIATOR AND ENGINE COMPLETELY FLUSHED, CAP AND THERMOSTAT REPLACED DUE TO "MUD" IN SYSTEM.DEALER TOLD ME "MUD" WAS ACTUALLY METAL AND SAND LEFT IN ENGINE BLOCK DURING THE PRODUCTION/MILLING PROCESS. 1 MONTH AFTER FLUSH THE SYSTEM IS CLOGGED AGAIN WITH THIS MUD. DEALER SAYING ANOTHER FLUSH IS NEEDED ALONG WITH POSSIBLE WATER PUMP AND HEATER CORE REPLACEMENT. DEALER AND OTHER LOCAL CAR MAINTENANCE COMPANIES SAID THEY HAVE SEEN THIS MANY TIMES IN THESE BLAZERS. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM GM SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65MPH DURING RAIN, THE WIPERS BEGAN TO FAIL. THE FISRT TIME IT HAPPENED THEY PAUSED SLIGHTLY THEN BEGAN TO OPERATE AFTER A SHORT MOMENT. THE SECOND TIME WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 60MPH THEY PAUSED THEN STARTED AGAIN AND THEN THEY STOPPED ALL TOGETHER. I PULLED OVER ON THE ROAD AND AFTER AWHILE THEY STARTED AGAIN BUT ONLY IN THE FASTEST MODE. I THEN BEGAN TO RETURN HOME WHEN THE WIPER FAILED COMPLETELY. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY DURING A STEADY RAIN. I WAS NEARLY INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT TRYING TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE. I WAITED FOR ABOUT 20 MINS AND THEN THEY STARTED AGAIN. I HAD TO REPEAT THIS ONCE MORE BEFORE REACHING MY HOME. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE TRUCK FOR REPAIRS. THE DEALER REPLAICED THE CIRCUIT BOARD AND COVER. THE SAME ITEM WAS RECALLED IN 1998. YOUR RECAL ID# (98VI50001). I PAID $132.00 FOR REPAIRS. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS RECALL DID NOT COVER MY VEHICLE BECAUSE IT WAS MANUFACTURED 8/96. THE RECALL ONLY COVERED VEHICLES FROM 8/94 TO 5/96. PLEASE ADD THIS COMPLAINT TO YOUR FILES. I FEEL THAT I SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN BILLED FOR A DEFECT THAT WAS RECALLED ONLY 3 MONTHS PRIOR TO MY TRUCKS PRODUCTION. THE IDENTICAL DEFECT WAS FOUND AND THE CONDITION COULD HAVE COST ME AND MY FAMILY OUR LIVES. SOMETHING AS IMPORTANT AS WIPER FAILURE SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN LIGHTLY. THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXTENDED BEFORE LIVES ARE TAKEN. I HAVE CONTACTED CHEVROLET AND GMC AND WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED. ANYTHING YOU CAN DO WOULD BE APPRECIATED. THANKYOU.

IN 15 MOS. THIS CAR HAS LEFT ME MORE THAN ALL OTHERS TOGETHER !!! HAVE LOST THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN INCOME . MOST UNRELIABLE UNSAFE CAR I'VE EVER OWNED . I SEE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE IN MY FEILD OF WORK AND I TELL THEM ALL NOT TO GET A BLAZER !! IT CAN'T STAY ON THE ROAD AND THE CO. IS UNWILLING TO HELP . VERY UNHAPPY WITH THE PRODUCT AND HANDLING OF COMPLAINT. READ E-MAIL SENT TO GET THE JEST OF PROBLEMS THIS CAR HAS HAD . IF MY DAUGHTER OR I DIE AS A RESULT OF THIS FAULTY CAR YOU CAN BE ASSURED YOU WILL BE SUED !!! I'VE TRYED TO LET SOMEONE KNOW SINCE 1-2 MOS. AFTER PURCHASE THAT IT WAS A PROBLEM . TO NO AVAIL CHEVY DOES'NT CARE !!!!!

I CHOSE A CHEVY BLAZER BECAUSE I KNOW THAT CHEVY IS KNOWN FOR THE QUALITY OF THEIR TRUCKS. UNFORTUNATELY I COULDN'T BE ANY MORE DISAPPOINTED WITH MY PURCHASE AND ALSO WITH MY DEALER. EVER SINCE I OWNED MY 1996 CHEVY BLAZER I'VE HAD PROBLEMS WITH IT AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS CONTINUED TO TAKE ADVANTAGE AS ME AS A CUSTOMER. I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW UNPROFESSIONAL A DEALERSHIP CAN BE AND ALSO HOW A NEW VEHICLE CAN BE SO UNRELIABLE. THE 4TH DAY I HAD THIS TRUCK 4 -WHEEL DRIVE WENT OUT, I TOOK IT TO WILLIAM CHEVROLET AND THEY TOOK 2 WEEKS TO FIX IT, NOT ONLY THAT, BUT THEY TOLD ME TO RENT A CAR KNOWING THAT I WAS UNDER 25, INSTEAD OF LENDING ME A REPLACEMENT CAR. IN LAST 3 YEARS THE BRAKES HAVE GONE OUT ON ME 8 TIMES, AND THE DEALERSHIP WOULDN'T ONCE COVER IT. MY WIPER MOTOR WENT OUT JUST BEFORE THE WIPER PIECE RECALL WENT OUT, I PAID FOR THEM TO FIX IT, AND GIVE ME A NEW MOTOR. BUT THEN, WHEN I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH THE RECALL THEY WOULDN'T REIMBURSE ME FOR THE MOTOR JUST THE PIECE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND IF THAT PIECE CAUSED MY WIPER MOTOR TO GO OUT THAT WHY DO I HAVE TO PAY FOR IT? MY HEATER IS NOW NOT WORKING TO IT'S FULLEST AND IT'S THE MIDDLE OF WINTER. WE JUST GOT 21 INCHES OF SNOW AND MY 4 WHEEL DRIVE IS NOT WORKING AGAIN. I WAS UNAWARE THAT MY 4 WHEEL DRIVE WAS NOT WORKING 2 DAYS AGO, I TURNED ONTO INDIANAPOLIS BLVD, AND MY BLAZER DID A 360 IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION, ALMOST CAUSING A 4 CAR ACCIDENT. AFTER THAT I CHECKED TO SEE IF MY FRONT WHEEL WERE MOVING, AND OFCOURSE THEY WEREN'T, THEREFORE I ONLY HAVE REAR WHEEL DRIVE ON A $25,000 4X4. THE LAST 2 DAYS HAVE BEEN HELL, FIRST I COULD NOT GET MY TRUCK OUT OF ITS PARKING SPOT AFTER I'D SHOVELED FOR AN HOUR, AFTER I FINALLY GOT IT OUT, IT GOT STUCK IN THE SNOW ABOUT 7 TIMES, WHILE 1989 ESCORTS ARE DRIVING AROUND EFFORTLESSLY. IT'S SO RIDICULOUS, I HAVE TO BE AFRAID TO TAKE MY TRUCK AROUND THE BLOCK BECAUSE IT GETS STUCK IN AN INCH OF SNOW. I'M SITTING HERE NOW BECAUSE MY VEHICLE CAN'T GET ME TO WORK.
