Blazer 4WD 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 87,500 miles
The contact complained about multiple problems. While driving at 40 mph on a damp road the driver's side wheel came off. He was able to steer the vehicle safely to the curb. The vehicle was towed to a mechanic, who replaced the upper ball joint on the driver's side and realigned the wheels. Later, he heard a grinding noise coming from the front of the vehicle. The mechanic determined that the other ball joints needed to be replaced. However, they have not been replaced. Also, the windshield fogged up. The mechanic stated the heater core broke and the coolant was leaking. The heater core was replaced. N addition, the vehicle had problems starting. The mechanic had to replace the fuel pump and fuel injector. The starting problem has not returned.

2 months into owning this vehicle the upper console digital temperature read out went bad. Upon replacing it twice it is still malfunctioning. They have even replaced the sensor on the front grill to no avail. At one oil change the vehicle was returned to me with a crooked hood. The lock assembly had slid over 1/2 inch. It caused the hood and the fender to meet and the two metals slammed together caused a scratch on both parts in the paint. The lock assembly was returned to it's original position. Upon informing the dealer that the vehicle was "slipping" when in gear I was given a verbal driving lesson. I have been driving the Chevrolet S-10 Blazer since 1992 and this is the 3rd one I have aquired. After bringing in a third party the locking differential, all fluids, and seals were replaced, thus fixing the issue. At 4000 miles my engine "burned out" 3 of 6 fuel injectors with no explaination. I have been made aware of several other vehicles of the same year and model being brought in for the same issues. There are several other small issues, little buttons falling out, cover plates popping out of place, etc. But you do not have a box for these issues. The owner of this dealership is very aware of the issues I have come across as I have been a customer of this dealership for 3 years and have removed 3 vehicles from this dealership. Thank you for your time.
