Blazer

This Blazer has offered nothing but problems. We have replaced the alternator, brake pads three times, the battery three times, the air conditioner went out in July, 1999, and even after having it repaired twice, it still doesn't work. We took it to the dealership for repair because of a "gurgling" noise, but they couldn't find what was causing it, (it was still under warranty at that time). Now gas fumes flood into the vehicle at various times, after filling up, and even while driving. They claim that a $1,000 valve needs to be replaced, but I sure wish they had known that while the warranty was still good! the wipers work sometimes, the brakes allow me to slide to a stop any time there is moisture, the left radio speakers only work sometimes, dome light cover falls off, hood won't open without force, pwr. Windows only work when they want to, locks stopped working before warranty expired, and they "fixed" them, but they still didn't work. Is there any way they will take this lousy excuse for a vehicle back? I can't afford to drive my children around in something that offers the possibility of explosion due to gas leakage, not to mention that the smell and fumes make us all nautious. I wonder how many more problems we will have with it, the transmission now seems to be slipping. Please help!!
