Several times this Blazer will not start- I have had it to the dealer and was told they could not find anything wrong- this time I saw that when the Blazer was running and you turned on the headlights it would die and you would have to jump it to get it started again- the interier lights would come on while driving (for no reason)- at one point the a C stopped working- the problems started a few years ago but the dealer could never find anything wrong.

Battery failed. Mjs

- Lookout Mo, GA, USA

Battery acid leaks over the 4- wheel drive cable located under battery plate; acid ate through cable, causing the 4- wheel drive to be inoperative. Vehicle taken to dealer, informed consumer of inoperative four -wheel drive. Dealer immediately informed consumer what the problem was, but could not repair it because the part was not in stock. This situation had to be ongoing for dealer to do corrections. Consumer has yet to be contacted by the dealer that the part is in. Believed this matter should be looked into for mfr. Defects. Thanks for help.
