About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
The vehicle was taken to the dealer to get the tires balanced. The dealer stated the upper ball joints and lower ball joints needed to be replaced.
- North Manchester, IN, USA
The upper ball joint failed while I was turning in to my driveway. The front wheel then folded under making it impossible to drive. If I had been traveling on an interstate, surely I would have lost control and possibly would have "rolled" the vehicle several times. This problem was identified under a NHTSA campaign id #95V080000. When I called the Chevrolet hotline (1 800 222 1020) I was told that my VIN was not covered by this recall. I was given a request #C02430111. I believe this recall should be expanded to cover all Blazer, especially since my repair bill for this is almost the same wording as was used in the campaign number previously mentioned.
