Primary: Electrical failures! ignition switch; multiple electrical failures with interior lights for which no one can figure out what is happening; check engine light has come on since I purchased the vehicle even after dealer worked on it; vehicle stalling out while driving almost caused accident; alternator replacement; multiple batteries -drain for unidentified reason; fuel injection system and pump; unexplained noises in the front end; front ball joints loose for which the dealership would not replace when I bought the vehicle because they said it was within factory limits even though my mechanic said that they were not; at this point I have become afraid to drive the vehicle due to the electrical problems and stalling but feel that I have no choice because the costs to maintain the vehicle is that of the payments and sometimes more and I cannot afford the required money down to replace it. Bottom line -I am getting rid of it as soon as I can since I have spoken to other owners who have had similar recurrent problems. I need a reliable vehicle. This is not one and from what I have seen and dealt with -1997 Chevy Blazer are not. The rule out there is you either have a good one or a bad one and I cannot afford on many fronts the one I have. At least Chevy should own up to the electrical problems particularly since it is tied to a moving vehicle stalling out and putting peoples lives at risk. I will not own another Chevy once I can get rid of this one. The incident date refers to the period starting with the electrical equipment failures.

Fuel injectors fail every 3,000 miles. They are constantly being replaced and cleaned. I have taken the truck to the original dealership which is 55 miles away from me. The gas gauge does not work and indicates the incorrect amount of fuel. The indicator fluctuates from full to empty as the truck is being driven. My case number with Chevrolet is #990453585.

Besides the fuel injection system going out of this vehicle there is something called a barring in the heater and air thing that we need fixed. When we run the heat or the air the car gets really loud. My mechanic called johny morris and they said that they have had tons of Blazer brought back to be fixed because of the fuel injectors. What I want to know is, if there is so many being brought back to be fixed why doesn't Chevrolet do a recall on the fuel injectors? its not like its a cheap part to fix. I bought this Blazer as is with no warranty but you wouldn't think that something this major would go wrong when the vehicle is only 2 yrs old.
