NHTSA complaint #10302290, filed 2010-01, 129,000 miles“There is a constant blinking noise coming from my glove box. When pressing on the break it quits. By looking up information on the internet I found out it is the multifunction switch. There were recalls on other years but not 1999 blazers. Its very expensive to fix. There was one on 1998 blazers I believe. I have a 99 chevy Blazer. Has happened since I bought it.”
NHTSA complaint #10242842, filed 2008-09, 100,000 miles“The multi function switch located on the driver's side under the dash is problematic. The failure of the switch results in the rapid clicking noise that can be heard from behind the glove box on the passenger side. This is such a common problem I can not believe there is not a recall. This is the second GM of this model that my family has owned with the same problem.”
NHTSA complaint #10224034, filed 2008-04, 96,663 miles“I have a 1999 chevy Blazer with 89,000 miles and it seems the multi function switch is failing. My turn signal beeping does not turn off when I not using the turn signal. I heard this also will eventually cause a delay with the turn signal that could eventually be a safety issue.”
NHTSA complaint #10255404, filed 2009-01, 89,000 miles“The multi-function switch in my 1999 chevy Blazer ls is malfunctioning. During driving, the blinker sound is constantly clicking whether or not I am making a turn or enabling my safety hazard lights. When I apply the brakes on the car, the clicking sound temporarily stops. When I drive again, the clicking sound starts again. This malfunction gives the driver the false indication that their turn signals is on, when it is actually not on, and can cause an accident.”
