My daughter was driving at night and started to fish tale and spin out, she said that she had no control of the steering wheel and it lockup the driver side front tire. This caused the vehicle to do a 270 spin then go backwards hitting the curb, flipping the vehicle onto the driver side, causing it to roll. Because the shoulder was an embankment, the vehicle rolled onto the top then rolled back down onto it's wheels. The vehicle came to rest facing the wrong way on the highway. The cost of fixing the damage exceed value of the vehicle. Similar incident occur earlier just as a spin out (Oct. 2010 ?), steering lockup after turning left at an intersection had some oil on the road from a previous accident (not related to us); however, she recover from the spin and just turn off the engine and restart the vehicle unlocking the steering wheel. It was assume that the spin and lockup was from the oil on the road.

My wife at that time got in to an accident in a Chevy Blazer on Nov 11, 2002, on el paso, tx. Where the vehicle was lost due to a steering wheel lock up. After the accident I took the vehicle to the dealer where I buy it. The company did not do anything about it, the insurance company did not pay the right amount I lost a lot of money in lawyers and nothing was solved, just me losing more money. I would like to demand compensation.

Streering of my trailer Blazer is vague and not responsive. The vehicle is hard to control at higher rate of speed, especially around 65mph. The rear suspension feel soft and slides when making quick movements left or right in the streering. The streering at lower speeds feels soft with play in the control. Other vehicles test driven do not have this problem. You can notice the difference immediately. On windy days the car moves constantly and the streering is delayed in correcting the push. The vehicle slides to much before the streering corrects it. Hence the vague and delayed response of the streering.
