Faults:

The fuel pump system just had to be replaced.

A complete set of front brakes just had to be replaced (pads, rotors, calipers, etc.).

There is no heat (heating core?).

The 4WD does not engage.

The windshield wiper system has to be replaced.

The whole front end (tie rods, etc.) needs to be replaced. The auto will not pass inspection because it is so bad.

The electric side mirrors do not work properly.

Plastic sections of interior and exterior are falling off.

The carpet on the driver's side has completely worn through.

General Comments:

$3,000 in repairs just in one month.

The same problems plague this model from vehicle to vehicle. Ask around.

General Motors will not respond to formal inquiries and complaints. General Motors does not stand behind their product. I kid you not... this is what a representative said to me... "So what do you want from us?" (This was in response to my informing her that I was facing $3,000 in repairs in one month.)

I will never purchase another GM product again. To me, GM = Gross Mistake.

Faults:

Rust in the transmission found during a "fluid check" at 25,000 miles.

Alternator out at 50,050 miles (50 miles over warranty and 2 batteries later).

Complete brake overhaul at 55,500 miles.

Gas gauge quit working at 56,000 miles.

Air conditioner compressor was gone at 59,000 miles (that quit in March, couldn't afford to replace it until August).

Pulley harness for universal belt snapped at 62,000 miles.

Heater coil leaking inside the truck now, when I need a heater and defroster (notice the above, I just got the air fixed).

This Blazer has a rear mounted tire that continues to rattle as if the fender is about to fall off.

And fuel consumption? Hummmm. I pour it in... It pours it out! On a good day I get about 14 miles to the gallon in town and 18 on the road. I can't let it go empty to check for perfect accuracy - remember the gas tank assembly will cost me about $700.00 to replace.

Carpet wearing through on the driver's side and all that plastic trim on outside of the truck looks like someone has be scrubbing it with a hot wire brush.

The plastic levers that release the backs on the two front seats are stripped out from ordinary use at about 53,000 miles.

The keyless entry remote quit working at about 56,000 miles.

I have put out over $2,200.00 for repairs in less than a year. I could have been driving a dependable and enjoyable vehicle with warranty for peace of mind. At this point, I am looking for any new car except a Chevrolet! And I love America, but am not real happy with GM.

General Comments:

The only thing I can depend on about this vehicle is its high maintenance, gas guzzling ability to leave me stranded and always looking for a good mechanic.

Faults:

41K miles - transmission shot.

41K miles - 4wd encoder motor shot

Fuel pump ready to go.

Front end makes lots of noise.

General Comments:

Very disappointed in Chevy and also in the dealer. Was a lifelong Chevy man. Not anymore.

How convenient these things break as soon as the warranty expires.
