This is my first Chevrolet Blazer, I have a Ford Ranger that has 210,000 miles with no problems, however, this Blazer has spider gears that are out at less than 45,000 miles on it. So I'm hoping that there is a assembly flaw or manufacturing discrepency involved to correct this matter. I know that there are some problems with the Chevy and GMC full size trucks, I have a couple of friends that have gone through a few rear ends already. It was found that there was a discrepency in the machining of the axle. I'm hoping that this is a related incident and that other people are having this same problem? I don't hardly ever use 4WD and I'm not hard on my vehicles, so I just don't understand why these spider gears would be going out on a 2 year old vehicle.

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 !!!!!
